Frankly speaking I have not purchased a digital camera before. Whatever shots shown in this blog were taken using Nikon Coolpix 885 (a gift), Canon Powershot A75 (borrowed) and Sony Ericsson P990i camera phone.

I guess is time to get serious and get a digital camera for myself. I started searching, compare and review the camera of my choice. I could narrow my options to Fujitsu F31d, Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 and Samsung L77.

Why Fujitsu F31d? Well one of my friend bought this camera and he gave very good ratings to it. You can call it a personal users choice. He did a comparison between a F40 and F31d before he made any purchased he took a picture of a dark blue box. The F31d picture produced the right color compared to the F40. The F40 produced a black box instead of the actual color dark blue. DPreview.com gave a very good review with this digital camera. The camera is built with rich functions and is really good for photographers who wants a point and shoot camera that comes with other manual functions. The battery lifespan is one of the longest compared to most digital cameras.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3, comes with a 10x optical zoom which is very attractive and desirable to own. The image stabilizer is a must have, as my hands tend to shakes when it comes to photography. Though the two features, image stabilizer and 10x optical zoom attracts my interest, however the overall review of the picture quality does not.

My next option will be Samsung L77. The digital camera comes with a good 7x optical zoom. The built in functions and features are reasonably attractive. One of the attractions of this camera will be the movie clip function. The camera allows you to use the 7x optical zoom while taking movie clips.

I had not come to a decision on which camera to purchase, at this point of time I may drop idea on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3.

I received the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5EB and I really like this pair of earphones. I think they are one of the best earphones I ever experienced. The sound quality is fantastic and with the extended base (EB), it was perfect to suit rich bass type of music that I listen to. I like the design of the earphones and how it fitted to my ears.

OK. I may be bias on this particular brand but I am not too sure is there other brands out there at a lower price but with the same quality. To think about it, you only buy something by word of mouth. When a friend of yours and his friend says they are good, and you tested on it and you think the same, it just gives us a green light to own it. I was looking for a good earphones to compliment my iPod mini and I am glad to know of Ultimate Ears at the right time.

I visited Amazon.com and see if I could grab some discount for this piece of earphones. The retail price was $199,99 but the discount price was $149 (26% discount) and I think is really a good buy.

I happened to bump into a friend who owned a pair of Ultimate Ears Superfi 5EB earphones. Out of curiosity I tested his earphones. I carried my iPod wherever I go and I played one of my favourite by Madonna - Music. I was overwhelmed and impressed by this peace of little monster. The bass was superb and the treble feels well balance. I am someone who enjoys fast beat music such as pop, electronica, dance and I added trance into my collections recently.

To be truth, I have never across this brandname Ultimate Ears accept for Sure, Bose and Bang & Olufsen. I tested the Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones, it was good with clear sound but it I did not feel like owning it even though it was well design. I have never tested a Sure or Bose earphones.

At www.ultimateears.com you will be able to find out earphones for different purpose. And superfi 5EB states that it was designed with extended bass feature and they are suitable for Hip Hop, Rap, Metal, Techno and other bass rich music.

I added this earphones into my wanted list after reading the reviews and tested it personally.

I really like this pair of red JBL creature speakers. The dome shape design is really unique and I think the designers deserve 4.5 out of 5 for this product. The speakers are not just strictly connected to iPod, with the stereo jack you can almost connect to any variety of music devices. With the price tag of $90, we are not just getting a rather good 2.1 way multimedia sound system, we are getting one of the best design multimedia speakers.
