My New Android OS 14 Tablet with Keyboard Case #android #androidtablet #androidos14


(All links open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I just bought a new Android 14 tablet with a wired keyboard, and it's pretty good. However, I later discovered that it's not Android OS 14 but Oreo 8.1. Someone told me that in one of my comment sections, but I didn't believe it initially, as my device says Android 14.

When I went online to check which Android OS was on the device, it stated that it was an Oreo 8.1. I was a little mad, as I thought it was the latest OS. The specs were pretty impressive, with large storage and RAM. Also, it's only around $100+ with free gifts!

Another commented that I should ask for a refund. I rarely ask for a refund because they won't give you a refund and always give excuses. The good news is that, even with an Oreo 8.1 version, it runs smoothly and does whatever I want.

The bad news is that some of the apps and games on the playstore are not playing or usable. Doesn't matter, cause all those latest bloated games and apps with in-app purchases or ads are nuisance. I ended up deleting them all. However, there are some I really wanted to run like Termux.


For just $100 I got an affordable mini laptop with Android OS. It can play retro games and I like playing around with old systems like the C64, Apple IIe, or MS-DOS. I love learning simple coding with basics. There aren't any good free apps for Linux terminals or Python on Android.

Those available suck. They're full of ads or don't actually work as the real thing. I end up just playing with the retro emulators. YouTube and other social media run smoothly on Chrome. I prefer using them to the apps cause they're slow and erratic behavior.


Using the Android Oreo 8.1 OS is pretty limited. Some apps and games don't play and act exasperatingly weird. You can try side installs but those websites that host them have many ads. It's better I guess as it stops you from going crazy and just install everything.

It's funny cause we don't have the self-control to stop ourselves from installing everything and anything we don't need or use. I have many apps and games on my phone that I haven't used for years. That's why I don't mind using the Oreo OS version.


Once, I stop installing apps and games that give me problems on the device, I have a blast using it. I usually use it in the morning drinking coffee and breakfast. I have a laptop but because the tablet is light, small, and always on it fits nicely with my daily morning routine. 

I only need my laptop or computer when I need to do heavy workloads like video editing. I used my phones too but, then I needed to charge them. That's when a tablet with bigger-sized screens is useful for social media consumption. Enjoy the simple things in life!

my kodak pixpro fz55 photos and videos sample #kodak #kodakpixpro #fz55


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I made a video showing some videos and photo samples using the Kodak Pixpro FZ55. I must say, I'm impressed with the photos and video quality. They have an artsy nostalgic vibe to them. Though I did edit some of them. So far, I'm happy with my purchase.

I'm thinking of going out and taking more videos and photos with it, but as you can see from my latest video here, it's been raining a lot these past few weeks. As I've said, this camera is small and almost like a toy. I guess, it's the inside that counts.

The buttons are small but not really a big deal. You can put it inside your pocket and it's not heavy. If you're considering buying it for your kids, it's a good budget present. It's easy to use and fun to play with. That's why I bought it, for the heck of it.

I've seen some sample pictures and they're pretty good. Well, if you're good at photography, it doesn't matter what camera you have, right? However, I have problems taking photos and videos as my hands are too shaky. There's an anti-shaky mode that I like to use.


Recently, I've been into taking videos and trying to look cinematic. I'm not sure if I have achieved that look. Anyway, I love taking videos with the FZ55 too. Yes, it's shaky when handheld but you can always use a gimble or a stand.

The quality of the video during taking and uploading is not bad. So far, I've only put everything on auto and haven't tried the scene mode. You can choose the manual mode too. You can adjust the ISO, Shutter speed, and Aperture. Oh, the mic is basic but pretty good too.


I'm not sure if you can see the change during manual adjustments. I tried setting the ISO too high and when I took the picture it was dark. It didn't show while I was adjusting. When you're used to high-end cameras, this camera seems outdated. 

Well, before I bought this camera, I did my research and all I was interested in was the kind of pictures I could get with it. I also know how shaky the camera is. That's what makes people like it, I guess. I'm sure the price is a factor too. 


I'm wondering if Kodak planning to improve on the FZ55. Of course, within budgets. If you want a much better camera, you'll have to be willing to pay the price. Maybe, do an increment improvement but still maintain the low pricing. 

Sometimes, the pricing of certain parts will go down. My recent purchase of my new Android tablet is an example. Better parts that have gone down in pricing and use an old 8.1 Android OS. It's still good enough for Netflix, YouTube, social media, and Android games.

Finally! My new Kodak Pixpro FZ55 unboxing #kodakpixprofz55 #fz55 #kodak #kodakpixpro


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was thinking of getting the latest Fujifilm Xm5 camera, but I don't have the money right now. That's when I saw YouTube videos of the Kodak Pixpro FZ55. I was intrigued. I checked out the pictures and video samples, and I like them!

The pictures were pretty sharp, and I like nostalgia's effect. Best of all, it's way cheaper than the XM5. You can get it for $100+. If you're interested in a small compact camera for traveling or taking everyday photographs, get it. I did.

If you've been reading my blog posts, I already have my Nikon P950, Zfc, and Z8. You can watch my photos and video samples on my YouTube channel. You can also watch my FZ55 sample videos here. Watch my unboxing video here.

As you can see, I'm not just interested in Nikon cameras. Now, I realize I want to try out whatever cameras are available. It's not just about taking sharp pictures but also design and the kind of pictures I can take like the FZ55.


I was surprised at how small and light the FZ55 is. It can fit in your pocket and nobody would have noticed it. I decided on blue because I was tired of red and black. The camera has buttons for power, taking photos and videos, at the top side.

I wish the photo button was a little bit nearer to the side as I sometimes, didn't realize I was pressing the body. The video button is after that. Finally, the power button is almost in the middle. The play button can be found at the back with the rest of the menu, macro, and flashlight buttons.


You can choose to shoot in auto or manual mode. You can control the shutter speed, ISO, and Aperture. I end up just setting up to Auto or Shaky mode as I find myself taking blurred photos most of the time. Oh, and also AutoScene.

That's the difference between an expensive professional camera and a cheap camera like the Pixpro FZ55. There are things you wish it had for sharper pictures and videos. RAW files. Easy access to many camera features.


The good thing about FZ55 is that you concentrate on taking photos. The rest is to photography nerds. That got me thinking about getting an instant print camera by Fujifilm and Kodak. Nowadays, everyone takes photos and videos and posts them online. Why an instant print camera?

There are many things I could say to justify my purchase, who cares it's just for fun. I can quickly take photos like the FZ55 and instantly print them for keeps or giveaways. I can put it in an album like in the old days or frame it and hang it around the house.

I also bought an Android tablet and a 7Artisans 35mm F1.4 MF APS-C lens for my Z8. I'll post about them in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

My Photography with Astrhori 50mm lens and Nikon Zfc | Singapore Japanese Cemetery Park


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been re-using, and re-editing pictures and videos I took using my Nikon Coolpix P950 and Nikon Zfc with Microsoft ClipChamp video editing software. You can download it from the Microsoft Store. It's awesome. There are many free templates, background music, cool effects, etc.

You can also purchase more music, effects, and more. I'm impressed. Once, you're done, you can save your videos or immediately upload them to YouTube or other social media. You can save in several formats and ratios. It's easy to use even for novices.

I wasn't happy with some of the earlier videos I edited and uploaded. I could have done better. Luckily, I didn't delete them and kept them still on my hard disk. I kept the main files on my SD card. Once it's full, I just buy a new one. I trust them on my SD card more than other storage offers. 

I used to store all my files in external storage devices but they all became faulty. Nowadays, they have the SSD type. I might try them in the future. Seems to last longer. My computer's internal SSD is still fine. My main hard disk died years ago.


The funny thing though is that I re-used my old laptop hard disk and it's still working great. I kept some of my old laptop hard disks as you never know. I've been wanting to upgrade my 100GB SSD as it's running out of space. This could be one of the reasons, I couldn't upgrade to Windows 11.

Anyway, I hope you guys watch my new re-edited video of my photography using the AstrHori 50mm lens with my Nikon Zfc. As I've said, I like the new Microsoft editing software the Clipchamp. One photo effect I keep choosing is the 35mm lens.


For some reason, the image looks much nicer to me when I use the 35mm lens effect. I'm even thinking of getting a prime 35mm lens. People say it makes your picture look much tighter. My favorite prime lens that I've been using is the SE 28mm which I got with my Zfc.

I want to purchase the new 28-400mm lens to go with my Nikon Z8. I have the 50-250mm z dx. From my own experience, the 28-400mm will be much preferred. I could reach further with the 400mm. I'm getting more experience with the more pictures and videos I took.
 

I'm thinking of getting the latest Fujifilm XM5. I've been checking some videos of it on YouTube and I like it. Though the retro design reminds me of my Zfc. What I'm really interested in is the film recipes that they offer on the camera itself. 

You can choose the type of photo recipe you like before taking photos. It's available by rotating the dial. You can also take a 6k video. A 6k is more than enough. You can then download it to your phone and immediately upload it to your social media. 

I'm kind of an impatient person and also I think, I suckz at editing photos and videos. That's why the XM5 seems made for me. It's not out yet. The news is that it'll be out mid of Nov. I'm not going to purchase it straight away. I'll get it when I get the chance.
