Day 1 @ Comex 2009
RDP goes to Comex 2009!!! Full house in terms of parking, it's crazy to see so many on a THURSDAY afternoon. Recession? A long forgotten word!! When it takes 2 hours to clear certain queues, the economy is surely set to rise!!
Here're some snaps to share:
Here're some snaps to share:
Which way to start!? With 6 floors of exhibition space and over 820 exhibitors, one needs to plan it well before starting the marathon!!
Huge crowds and lines of flyer givers! With Suntec city and neighbouring complexes having full packing, it is the annual event of grapping IT products at great deals.  The Apple bites back!! A snapshot of the madness at Epicenter for Apple/Mac products. |
Shooting stars with Nikon:A huge Nikon sign drawing all to the yellow booth.
Do-re-Me: Eye candy were few this year perhaps due to the 'recession'. |
Canon fails to fight back. It is perhaps a long shot to ask for Canon 7D, but with Nikon offering D3000 and D300s, Canon had nothing new on offer... C'mon Canon!!  Sony with the usual HUGE coverage covering a large part of level 2.  |
The shoot star of the show: Nikon D300s. With 7fps, dual CF and SD slots, DX format (1.5 crop), 12,3megapixel with 51-point autofocus system, and HD video recording at an unbeatable $2999, this was the shooting star of Comex 2009! |
