Another kiddie event that i have covered and this is for my niece-in-law Fibi who celebrated her 7th birthday at Jollibee Better Living, Paranaque.

It was a spur of the moment party with family and close friends in attendance. It was fun, nonetheless! Her father was not around to celebrate with her, but a surprise phone call came in before the party ended.

Fibi was extremely happy when she delivered her message to her parents and said, "I will never forget this day". Indeed it was a memorable birthday for her! Simple but truly memorable.

I have already uploaded most of my shots on this event in my Multiply and Facebook galleries but for my blog's archive sake, i will just post one of the group shots (you can click the picture to view it in a larger image) we had on that very memorable day of our church organization activity.

This is a youtube video that explains the technology behind the Canon EOS Digital SLR Lenses.

Canon EOS 7D unveiled

Speculations were true and the eagle indeed landed fully armed!
With the release of this mid-range DSLR from Canon, it gave us "Professional Hobbyist" photographers a good reason to keep our Full Frame dreams at bay.
Canon EOS 7D key features:

• 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor
• 8 frames per second continuous shooting
• 1080p HD video recording with manual controls
• 3.0 inch Clear View II LCD screen with 920,000 dots
• 19-point AF system (all cross-type)
• 1.0x magnification and 100% coverage viewfinder
• Wireless flash control
• Environmental sealing

With the confirmed specs, Canon gave the Nikon's D300/D300s a good run for their money.
I hope i can acquire this bird but most likely not this year, as i still have the patience of waiting for its price to go down. By the way, Canon announced that there will be another release early next year and that is for their flagship professional xD series and probably in line with that, they will introduce the successor for 50D also. These future releases will definitely affect the 7D's price.
