I took the same space marines with my trusted Canon and with the following lens - EF50 and EF-S 18-85mm with Marco filter.
What is the macro filter:
The outcome from 50mm (this is actually the eye-level lens)
and from the 18-85mm with macro filter at 85mm
at 56mm
Conclusion, I think I will be using the 18-85mm with macro filter more. Next project...... is to photograph my whole collections of all my Warhammer stuff.
Yesterday I bought this leather protection/carrying case for Omnia and it fits pretty nicely, also comes with a to slot in the stylus that comes with the set. It cost about SGD18 but after some hard bargaining I got it for SGD15.
Yesterday (8th Oct, 2008) I tried again with my Omnia with white light using Marco mode and the result was much better. I set it to Macro, no flash and scene to SCN.
The model is 25mm Space Marine from Games Workshop, painted on Sunday.
I am testing the macro feature of Omnia camera and my comments are:
a. You need to be extremely hand steady else your outcome will be shaken
b. Too much grain in the auto mode (I guess the system is using high ISO as I off the flash)
The following programs are not compatible with the new rom HH3 update:
a. Microsoft Reader
b. Currency Convertor
I guessed both program using the older mobile .NET framework as when I tried to install the .NET framework, it said the newer framework is already installed.
Other interesting info is that the www.onemotoring.com.my on the traffic camera can't be loaded, not sure why. Before upgrading, I can view the traffic cam. The updated rom still cannot play WMA on touch player but you can play it using Windows Media (so not a big deal).
As for web scrolling with media playing in the background, the scrolling becomes too slow. Might be caused by my bluetooth headset, have not tried on the wired headset.
Other features found:
a. The main menu nows come with 2 page and one shortcuts page. You cannot change the mainmenu links but you can add/remove links from the shortcut.
b. GPS detection is now faster from cold start before it takes about 10 to 15 minutes (while moving) and nows is about 5 to 10 minutes (while moving)
c. Smart Reader still the same but notice the OCR is a little faster (no time tested as do not have the previous testing timing), just guts feeling.
