Video Tests in Central Market, Phnom Penh

ISP bandwidth here in Cambodia makes 'up-loading' ultra high quality photographs and video impractical.
Just the same, this short video maybe of some interest.
My friend Long and I recently bought two different new cameras that I will call higher-end, 'crossover' cameras in the $500 - $800 range. Bigger than a point and shoot and smaller than an SLR. These crossovers have camera bodies maybe slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes. In some instances, with very high quality changeable lenses. The real magic with these emerging crossovers is not only the quality and width capture of the lenses, but also the huge sensors with crisp saturation that really pops. Not only that, with some limitations, video is stellar.

Royal Palace of Cambodia

For the two years I have been in Cambodia, up until now, I never explored the Royal Palace. It is like someone living in Anaheim, California never seeing Disneyland. I'm glad I went. here is the result.
