I just noticed that it’s snowing right now. My bedroom windows are draped. Just as I went to the kitchen, I saw that it’s snowing! :)

Sony Ericsson Z520i

A few months ago, I used to bring several phones for testing purposes. After testing, I gave them back. It was difficult for me to be using several phones and getting confused which one was ringing.

However, I just bought a second phone for personal use. The Sony Ericsson Z520i. This is my backup phone to my Sony Ericsson P910i.

I merely wanted a simple phone and nothing fancy. But I got a great bargain so I got it.

The contents of the box are as follows: Z520i handset, standard li-on battery, wall charger, and a user manual.

Features:

  • StyleUpCover – Lets you create a personalized style-up cover for your Sony Ericsson phone
  • Bluetooth Connectivity – Allows for handsfree communication and wireless file transfers
  • Media Player – Enjoy videos and music
  • VideoDJ – Edit videos in your mobile phone
  • 0.3 Megapixel Camera with 4x digital zoom – Allows for simple photos and videos
  • Light Effects – There are 8 different light effects/pattern which you can assign as default or to specific callers

So far I’m quite impressed with the phone. Although some people were not really happy with the phone, they might have expected a lot. For me, I was just looking for a simple backup phone and this phone just fulfills my need.

Canon IXUS 70 (7.1 Megapixels)

I bought a JVC Video Camera before I left Malaysia. It had a digital photo feature. The problem is that the quality is not that good. So when my family went to Anilao, Batangas last April, I really saw the need for a separate digital camera.

So on the night we went back to Manila, we immediately went to Anson’s Ortigas and got the Canon IXUS 70. It’s a 7.1 megapixel camera.
Canon IXUS 70 (7.1 Megapixels)

Here are the features:

  • 7.1 Megapixels
  • 3.0x Optical Zoom
  • 2.5″ LCD Screen
  • Powered by the NEW DIGIC III Imaging Processor for:
    • Faster processing computing speed
    • Improved noise reduction signal processing at high speed settings
    • Lower power consumption
    • Higher definition for signal output to LCD monitor
  • New High ISO 1600 & Auto ISO Shift reduce camera shake and blurring of fast-moving subjects even in low-light condition. Use Auto ISO shift to automatically increase ISO speed until shutter is fast enough to prevent blurring.
  • Incorporates the Face Detection AF, Face Detection AE and Face Detection FE, which work hand-in-hand to capture stunning photos of subjects’ faces with sharpness and right exposure easily.
  • Face Detection AF: Detects as many as 9 subjects’ faces in a picture. If no faces are detected the AF system automatically switched to the conventional 9-point AiAF setting.
  • Face Detection AE: Focus and exposure are controlled and set correctly for capturing the human face so that the subject’s best expression is not missed.
  • Face Detection FE: Flash brightness and exposure automatically adjusted to ideal levels
  • Enables Red eye correction during playback
  • Shoot movies with sound

I was choosing between IXUS 70 and IXUS 75. The only difference is the LCD size. IXUS 75 had a larger LCD and no manual viewfinder.

A friend of mine who writes for photo magazines advised me to get the IXUS 70 with the manual viewfinder. If I was running out of battery, I could turn-off the LCD and just use the manual viewfinder.

And besides, IXUS 70 is cheaper than IXUS 75. Why would I pay for a more expensive camera if all the features I want are in the cheaper one? I don’t need a large LCD.

By the way, with the free 1GB SD Card, I can shoot to like 1,000+ photos!

I’m very much happy with the Canon IXUS 70!
