My Canon 550D has been underutilized the past couple of weeks, ever since I loaned a Sony NEX3 from the gf. Turns out this m4/3 is pretty decent, even in low light conditions. This was taken earlier tonight, at the launch of the all-new Rolls Royce Wraith.

bro, Sony NEX3 is using APS-C sensor, not m43. m43 so far only can be found in Olympus and Panasonic.

Yes, the picture quality of the NEX is very decent indeed. Noise is a bit obvious, but still manage.

However, with all the respect, the RR Wraith is ugly. What a waste.

Ooops! I keep thinking the NEX-series are m4/3 cameras! Bro silverstan, you're right; just gave it a bit of read. And yeah, there's a bit of noise from the cam, but given the low light conditions, I doubt my 550D would fare significantly better. I reckon my other cameras, a Canon G10 and S95, would not have coped at all!

As for the Wraith... I had trouble getting in to the rear. I think cars like these are meant to be driven in, so I would really pick the Ghost.

With most automotive launches, girls are a must-have. Unfortunately, I don't take pics of chicks :D In fact, I must admit that I occasionally tell them to get out of my way...  :shocked1:

Anyway, a couple of hours just before the launch of the Wraith, I spent some time driving two stellar sportscars. Not too difficult, so I'm sure the petrolheads out there will be able to guess the models:

Sorry for the late reply! Yeah; both Boxster and Cayman are the 'S' models. But the Cayman is missing some options... lack of PTV (Porsche Torque Vectoring) system means the rear end tends to want to slide more than the Boxster. Also no PSE (Porsche Sports Exhaust), so missing the lovely sound track. Oh, and also a more boring colour :p

Oh and err... chicks ah. Ok, I see what I can do ah...

Thanks for sharing, nice car & great pics from you as usual.

Btw, those air vent are really kiasu, the last time I remember they are much smaller. Very appropriate for Malaysia's weather I suppose.  ;D

 :Laughing_on_floor:

Unser not part of the group! You'll see a couple of regular faces if you join us for morning runs, and the cars that show up range from small four-potters all the way to V12s. Of course the big boys run in front, whilst the rest follow from behind. Wouldn't want to get too close to them anyway, unless you like getting stone-chipped!

Was driving when I saw this at a petrol station in TTDI:



Anyone can clarify if this is an old signage, or could this be an indication that Ron95 will soon be raplced by Ron92?
