Polka Dots.

I've been receiving some questions on both my comment box and my email inbox with regards to my camera,
so I thought I would do a short and quick review of it for those interested!
:)

If you're not then by all means scroll to the bottom, 
I uploaded an OOTD in case you don't want to read about boring camera stuff.
Hahaha.

I've been using the EX2F for slightly more than 6 months now,
since late February I think!
The photos from my previous BKK trip were taken using this awesome camera.
I do slight editing for my photos though,
by adjusting curves and levels.

The plus points of this camera:

- lightweight and compact
I was using the EP3 before this and it was a pain to carry around because it is SO bulky.

- swivel screen + beauty mode
Two of my favourite things about this camera!!!
It takes awesome self shots.
And the beauty mode is really nice and subtle, 
it doesn't smoothen out your face too much or make your eyes look huge like alien's.

-wifi function
Another of my favourite function!
I have friends asking me why are my photos on Instagram so clear...
And it's because most of my photos are straight from the camera!
I hardly ever use my iphone camera nowadays.
It pales so much in comparison when it comes to photos which are grabbed straight from the EX2F.

On an irrelevant note, 
if you do too much editing it also affects the quality of the photos.
Especially if you use beauty apps like MTXX!

- easy to use
Very good camera for beginners!
Quite easy in terms of handling,
and the auto function is good enough in case you don't know how to use the manual mode.

- photo quality
I really love how I don't have to edit the colour tone of my photos when I transfer them onto the computer,
unlike photos taken by my EP3.
I don't know why but no matter how much I tweak the camera settings, 
photos taken by my EP3 always comes out yellowish.

Of course the quality of the photos cannot be compared to the DSLRs,
but in my opinion it's good enough for every day use!

Okay I think I've got to stop raving about this camera for a bit.
Now on to the bad points!

- slow processing time for beauty mode
The time taken for the beauty mode to process each photo varies.
The more faces in your photo,
the longer it takes.
And in the meantime, you can only wait.

- short battery life
Sometimes the battery shows 2 bars left (3 bars when full) and I bring it out.
And after a while it becomes 1 bar.
Then boom!
Battery flat.

The last battery bar lasts a really short while.
:(
If I have to use the camera for a full day,
I usually charge it the night before even though there might be 2 bars left.
It's really deceiving sometimes.

That's all for the bad points!
LOL I sound so biased towards the camera.
But anyway, 
no regrets at all ever since I got the camera!
You really got to get it for yourself to see how awesome it is.

I got my camera from AMK Hub's MS Colour for $570 and it comes with a casing, an extra battery (which I never use) and an 8GB memory card.
But the price might be cheaper now since I got it 6 months back!

Outfit of the day:
Bambi Cropped Top in Black from TTR,
Polka Dot Shorts from Ferris,
purple suede maryjanes from Topshop,
bag from A wang,
arm candy in first pic is my favourite ball of fur.


This ball of fur is all nestled in my lap now as I type this entry.
She has got to be the stickiest little dog ever.
Hahaha.
She has recently developed a cute habit.
Every morning around 10am,
she will come and sniff at my face,
then hop onto my stomach and settle herself very comfortably there.

And sometimes I wake up because it got quite hard for me to breathe.
LOL.
Because she might be tiny but she still weighs about 1.5kg!
Imagine waking up to a 1.5kg ball of fur on your stomach every morning.

Watch from Naked Glory.

Knit cardigan with the most gorgeous crochet back!
Love that this cardigan has just the right amount of slouchiness too.
One of my essentials at work because it can get rather unbearably cold sometimes.
Launching on TTR this weekend!

We're launching 2 other knit designs and guess what?
Kept all.
I think I need to go to a flea (or something!) to clear out my wardrobe.
It is really in the most embarassing state right now.


And my hair looks as dry as hay in the photos above.
;(
Time to visit the salon!

Hokays bye for now!
Will update this space again real soon!
