Today on this beautiful morning, we decided to check out the new camera from Olympus, the E-PL1. How different is this camera from the others? What does it offer? Well, we are hoping to answer all that in our mini review.
For starters, this camera comes with a very strong design, almost ala DSLR. Photos taken with this camera turn out of quite a good quality which is a pleasant start. The best thing about this camera is that it can shoot raw + JPEG in every mode unlike some cameras.
On the down side, the E-PL1 is a bit slower than other cameras. The autofocus is not that good and the same goes for the battery life, when did it finish we didn’t even realize. We also don’t like the fact that there’s a low-resolution LCD.
Overall, we think the price of the E-PL1 is definitely suitable as this is a camera with pros and cons but on the whole, it will suit those who are looking for something to train with before they enter the DSLR world.

What do you usually do after a long and tiring day at work? For us, we have our special massage chair that works wonders on us. After our first affair with the first massage chair we purchased, we fell in love with them. Today we have the massage chair from Sanyo, the DR 7700. This massage chair is a zero gravity massage recliner. If you are wondering what zero gravity means then it means weightlessness and also the fact that zero gravity position protects your spine by distributing the weight of your body.
Sanyo, so far, have managed to make a name for themselves specially in this market. Basically, we would say that Japan & Korea manufacture great massage chairs and other body-care products. With that, they have improved their technology thus creating a whole level of comfortable products for their customers. This massage chair comes with a roller mechanism that is capable of performing a gripping massage. If you haven’t yet tried a massage chair then you should definitely purchase this one or at least, try it out.
