Back from Japan
April 25, 2003I'm back from my vacation in Japan. It was great. My wife's parents live in Odawara, which is south of Tokyo along the east coast of Japan. It takes about an hour and a half to reach Tokyo by train. It takes 50 minutes to reach Yokohama.
I bought this killer digital camera in Akihabara. "Sanyo Xacti". It will probably take a few months to reach the U.S, as it was still hard to find in Japan. It's really cool: 3.2 megapixels, takes quicktime movies up to 640x480 at 30 frames per second. The movies are flawless and the Camera itself is super light and small. I got a 512mb SD memory card (which is really important if you want to take long movies) Great user interface too. Not too many buttons, but lots of easy to navigate menus. The Japanese UI designers are Gods.
Check out this short movie of the camera, made by the camera.
