Even at low light (as above), photos turn out decently. I rather suspect it takes several rapid shots and blends them together to get that better brightness and clarity. Sunset shot. …

Roland's has been around for so long, and is famous as the folks that invented chili crab. But despite that, I still think they are underrated.

I have been looking for a good point-and-shoot camera for days when lugging a big DSLR is too much of a hassle. Thanks to omy.sg and Casio, I have my hands on an Exilim ZR20 to try out. I have been playing with it for a few days - okay, correction, a few minutes - that is, when I can pry the device out of the hands of my two kids! They immediately took to it and started …

More Singaporeans are choosing staycations over holidays abroad, because there are less hassles and travel downtime.
