The things I can find on my hard disk when I bothered to. Thanks to Picasa2, I have managed to find and index a whole lot of photos that I have forgotten entirely about.

These were taken in April 2003, some time around the SARS period, with an old Samsung 1.3 mega-pixel digital camera. The pictures are not bad actually, as long as you keep them in small 3R prints. Heh.

And talking about that, there’s a write up on CNET about having more mega-pixels on your camera doesn’t mean better pictures. My personal opinion is that anything more than 6 mega-pixels is actually a waste of money and a 10 mega-pixel monster has no visible improvements over a 6 mega-pixel one. And if you are an amateur, a 4 mega-pixel one is good enough!

Of course such an opinion will definitely get a lot of manufacturers very unhappy. But just what can we expect in this one-dimensional capitalist world, where the bottom line is all that matters, and the only way to ensure that would be to drive demand through false needs by means of commercials and hypes.
