Shuttr Meets World

Written on March 23, 2011 by Mikyu.

One item off my wish list!

I started having an interest in photography during my early college days. My mom bought a point-and-shoot cam on one of those days (or maybe the cam came first before the interest?), but as someone who wanted more control over the photos, I wished for a DSLR camera. I didn’t save up for it yet, though, ‘coz I had other things in mind that beat it to the top of my wish list, one of which is a cellphone. Or should I say cellphones? Because of a misfortune, yes. Anyway, after a couple of years, I finally got myself a DSLR cam! And I’m naming it Shuttr!

I decided on a Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i/Kiss X4 Digital) last year. Didn’t really expect to get a hold of it sooner. I’m so thankful to my father for providing the budget as a graduation gift! Weee! Feeding another interest! I got mine with dual lens kit (EF-S 18-55mm & EF-S 55-250mm) from Louise Gadgets at a lower price.

Here are some of the features of the cam (from Wikipedia):

18.0 effective megapixel CMOS sensor
Full HD 1080p video recording at 30/25/24 fps
HD 720p video recording at 50 fps OR 60 fps
PAL/NTSC video output
DIGIC 4 image processor
14-bit analog to digital signal conversion
3.0-inch (76 mm) 3:2 aspect ratio LCD monitor
Live view mode
Built-in flash
Wide, selectable, nine-point AF with centre cross-type sensor extra sensitive at f/2.8
Four metering modes, using 63-zones: spot, partial, center-weighted average, and evaluative metering
Highlight tone priority
EOS integrated cleaning system
Internal monaural microphone
sRGB and Adobe RGB colour spaces
ISO 100–6,400 expandable to 12,800
Continuous drive up to 3.7 frame/s (34 images (JPEG), 6 images (RAW))
SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory card file storage
RAW and large JPEG simultaneous recording
Eye-Fi support
USB 2.0, HDMI interface
LP-E8 battery
Approximate weight 0.53 kg with battery and card

And in case you wanna buy the same model, these reviews may help you: DCRP Review, DP Review (more in-depth). I’m yet to read the latter. Hahaha.

Now, let the shooting begin!

Awesome! I love photography, too. I’ve also got a DSLR, though it’s not as fancy as others. But it’s pretty snazzy anyway, haha.
