About Me

Membesar dengan buku-buku koleksi arwah abah dari lahir tidak banyak, sedikit mempengaruhi jalan cerita hidup saya. Mula berjinak membaca novel dan carpen seawal usia tujuh tahun, sebaik sudah pandai membaca. Tidak ada karya yang gah pun, sekadar coretan carpen biasa kisah di sekeliling saya dan coretan sajak serta puisi simpanan sendiri. Pejam celik, pejam celik, dah hampir 29 tahun saya tidak berkarya.

Saya bukan seorang yang pandai mana pun memasak, cumanya dari kecil dah biasa dengan air tangan bonda tercinta, bila masak apa saja cukup sempurna lazat dan enaknya. Cekodok pun sodap! hak.. hak hak.. Setiap hari ada saja surprise yang mak hidangkan. Memang tak ada took banding kasih sayang seoring ibu. Mak bekerja "on call" tapi bila celik mata awal pagi, sarapan dal tersedia. Bukan calang-calang menu yang mak hidangka n. Mak seorang misi, menu mak memang makanan seimbang sentiasa, sesuai dengan tugasnya sebagai seorang Jururawat Masyarakat yang sentiasa ingin mempastikan amalan pemakanan seimbang dipatuhi.

Setiap hari pulang dari sekolah, (mak bertugas di pendalaman dan 60% dari aktiviti pulang ke rumah dari sekolah ku adalah berjalan kaki je lebih kurang 20km kot rasanya, masa tu lokasi sekolah dan tempat tinggal kami bus hanya datang kadang-kadang) buka je tudung saji, dipendekkan cerita menu seimbang mak, dah sedia terhidang (nak menangis bila seringat semua tu) betapa besar pengorbanan ibunda.

Kami lima beradik semuanya. Membeli makanan di kedai tak berbaloi rasanya dek perangai kami yang dah "spoiled" suka menikmati juadah mak yang lazat berulang-ulang. Mak, kalau buat pau bodoh inti kelapa pun kurang-kurang 30 biji, kuih muih jenis talam seperti seri muka, kaswi, kuih lapis mesti satu loyang besar.. baru puas, dua tiga kali hadap kami adik beradik boliau.. he he. Bulan ramadan memang saat yang kami nantikan, selawal satu minggu berpuasa mak mesti dah sibuk dengan persedian biskut raya.. apalagi, saya dan Lisa la yang jadi peneman mak di dapur. Angah biasanya sibuk membantu arwah aaah (al-fatihah) dengan urusan yang lain. Adik-Adik yang lain masih kecil lagi waktu ini.

Biasanya setiap kali mak mula membancuh apa-apa adunan memang sayalah yang akan duduk di depan sekali. Dengan penuh semangat dan dedikasinya membantu. Biskut yang mak buat biasanya memang biskut kegemaran kami adik beradik dan arwah abah ( al-fatihah), juga biscuit yang mak suka. Biasanya bila adunan biskut tinggal sedikit, agak-agak dalam sepuluh dulang pembakar, mak akan biarkan saya buat sendiri. Ha.. ha.. ha.. masa ni lah kalau tetamu datang beraya dan termakan stock biscuit yang kategori hangul dan terlebih bakar terjadi, itu adalah biskut hasil air tangan sendiri. Kikiki.. penat wooo..

Saya ni memang dari kecil jenis yang tak reti nak duduk diam, ada je yang saya nak lakukan. Kalau tak berulit dengan bacaan novel, saya menulis. Kemudian saya akan melakukan activiti workout dan senam robik. Bila petang tekäk asyik je meragam, teringin itulah, teringin ini lah. Dalam tak sedar tu otak dan tangan berjalan seiring, tak sampai satu jam nanti mesti ada je yang saya hasilkan, kuih badaklah, hehe.. kesian badak tu kan, kuih lapis lah, kastard jagunglah, agar-agar gula enaulah.. masa tu saya darjah enam, rupa kuih yang dihasilkan tu jangan cakap lah macam mana bentuk dan penampilannya, Ha ha ha.. sah-sah lah tak senoreh kata orang Negeri Sembilan.. kikiki..

Arwah abah (al-Fatihah) memang suka berkebun dan menanam bunga, suka main guitar,workout dan menangkap gambar ( video & still foto), arwah abah juga seorang guru bahasa, pelukis, penulis dan editor. ( memang tak pelik pun bila saya turut cenderung pada semua aktiviti yang sama.

Seajack lair, bila malam, arwah abah selalu akan bersama kami adik bergdik di ruang tamu. Sebelum tidur arwah akan menjadi Penglipurlara yang bercerita tentang cerita-cerita dahulu kala. Bukan skadar bercerita, arwah abah (al-fatihah), turut menyelitkan unsur pantun, gurindam dan stair dalam penceritaannya. Antara cerita yang masih saya ingat tajuknya ialah Hikayat Malim Deman, Hikayat Ahmad Muhammad dan Cerita Pak Pandir. Selesai bercerita (cerita hikayat disampaikan sedikit-sedikit setiap malam, biasanya memakan masa sebulan hingga dua bulan untuk tåmat) arwah abah ( al-fatihah) akan mendodoikan kami adik beradik dennen lagu nyayian beliau diiringi dengan petikan guitarnya. Antara lagu yang menjadi nostalgia dalam hidup saya ialah lagu kumpulan The Shadow, lagu-lagu nyayian Elvis, lags Pak Ketipak ketipung dan Dodoi Si Dodoi. Bermain guitar ni saya just feeling- feeling je, bukan pandai pun, perasan je lebihnya, tetapi dalam perasan-perasan tu, sempât juga saya tubuhkan sebuah kumpulan guitar rancak bersama rakan sebaya di tempat tinggal saya. Dengan sokongan arwah, sempat juga saya menganjurkan Malam Sayembara Puisi & Deklamasi Sajak di kediaman kami. Mak dan arwah abah (al-fatihah) sentiasa dekat di hati ini. Hanya Allah yang mampu membalas segala pengorbanan dan kasih sayang membesarkan kami.

Sepatah kata

Melakar cahaya bukanlah sesuatu yang asing buat saya. Sementah usia tujuh tahún saya sudah didedahkan dengan camera & video camera.

Arwah ayahnda saya ialah seorang Pembantu Teknik di salah sebuah jabatan kerajaan yang mana antara tugas beliau mengambil gambar dan membuat rakaman video acara dan seorang editor majalah Suara Negeri di jabatan tempat beliau bertugas.

Namun ia bukanlah merupakan sesuatu yang saya mahir untuk melakukannya. Cubaan pertama dilokasi memberikan hasil yang sangat mengujakan hati saya. Ia merupakan titik tolak bagaimana saya mula terjebak dalam bidang ini pada tahun 2015.

THE BEST ENTRY-LEVEL DSL

Best entry-level DSLRs: what to look for and what to buy in 2018

By Phil Hall 7 days ago Cameras

We help you choose a great beginner DSLR without spending a fortune

If you've outgrown your point-and-shoot camera or are no longer satisfied with the snaps you get from your smartphone, and feel like you're ready to take your photography to the next level, then an entry-level DSLR is the most obvious choice.

Entry-level DSLRs deliver a big step up in image quality from a compact camera or smartphone, offering far more manual control and the ability to change lenses to tackle a huge variety of projects. Don't worry though – there are also a host of auto modes to help you out until you're comfortable with the more creative controls that a DSLR offers.

THE BEST ENTRY-LEVEL DSLRS

1. Nikon D3400

2. Canon EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D

3. Nikon D5600

4. Nikon D3300

5. Canon EOS Rebel T6i / EOS 750D

Obviously, the more features you want, the more you'll pay, but do you actually need them? Our top camera is one of the cheapest on the market, but still offers impressive performance and image quality, plus enough features to handle most assignments, especially if you're still learning.

You may also want to consider a mirrorless camera as an alternative. If so, you'll find our video above or Mirrorless vs DSLR cameras: 10 key differences guide very useful. Or, if you're not sure what kind of camera you need at all, then read our easy-to-follow guide to camera types: What camera should I buy?

DSLR bundles

If you're buying your first DSLR, it makes sense to buy it as a kit, which generally includes the camera body along with an 18-55mm lens. Often referred to as a 'kit' lens, this covers a pretty broad zoom range, perfect for everything from landscapes to portraits, but that's just the start.

They're more than adequate to get started, but the key advantage of DSLRs over compact cameras is that you can add to your kit with additional lenses. For example, wide-angle and telephoto zoom lenses, a flashgun, and other accessories, to make the most of whatever types of photography you're into.

Canon and Nikon offer the largest collections of DSLR lenses, but Pentax and Sony also offer decent ranges. You're not limited to own-brand lenses either, with the likes of Sigma, Tamron and Tokina selling quality lenses at prices that are often lower than the camera manufacturers' equivalent lenses.

1. Nikon D3400

It's not the most expensive entry-level DSLR, but we think it's the best

Superb battery life

Good single-shot AF

No microphone port

No touchscreen

Nikon's D3400 builds on the brilliant D3300, which was until recently our top pick. Sharing pretty much the same design and specification as its predecessor, the D3400 adds Nikon's SnapBridge bluetooth connectivity to transfer images directly to your smart device to make it that much easier to share images. The 24.2MP sensor resolves bags of detail, while the D3400 is also a very easy camera to live with. Its clever Guide Mode is a useful learning tool that gives real-time explanations of important features. There's no touchscreen though, but otherwise this is our favorite entry-level DSLR right now.

2. Canon EOS Rebel T7i / Canon EOS 800D

One of the best options out there, but a bit pricey

Great touchscreen

Excellent sensor

Plastic finish

Expensive

The EOS Rebel T7i (known as the EOS 800D outside) sits at the top of Canon's entry-level EOS DSLR range. Sporting a newly designed 24.2MP sensor that delivers an improved high ISO performance over older models, the Rebel T7i's autofocus also gets a boost, now with a 45-point arrangement that's backed up by excellent live view AF system. There's also newly designed graphical interface that will certainly make this camera even more appealing to new users, but the absence of 4K video and the quality of the exterior materials disappoint. Perhaps the most expensive option out there, but definitely one of the best.

3. Nikon D5600

Choosing between Canon and Nikon is tougher than ever

VIEW SIMILAR AT PRICEPANDA

Excellent image quality

Articulating touchscreen

Slow Live View focusing

SnapBridge needs work

The D5600 competes directly with Canon's EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D at the upper end of the entry-level DSLR market. Where Nikon's D3000-series cameras are designed as cost-conscious introductory DSLRs, the D5000-series is preferable if you want to get more creative. The D5600 sports a large 3.2-inch vari-angle touchscreen, and while the live view focusing speed could be quicker, the 39-point AF system is the best you'll find in a entry-level DSLR. There isn't much wrong with the D5600's 24.2MP sensor either, delivering excellent results, while the logical control layout of the D5600 makes it easy to use.

4. Nikon D3300

Still one of the best beginner DSLRs around

VIEW SIMILAR AT PRICEPANDA

Great image quality

Guide mode

Fixed LCD

Limited connectivity

Replaced by the D3400 last year, the D3300 and D3400 share a very similar set of features (and design for that matter). The biggest difference between the two though is the D3300's lack of connectivity - if you want to transfer your images to your smartphone or tablet, you'll need to invest in Nikon's cheap plug-in Wi-Fi adapter that plugs into one of the ports on the D3300. With stocks running down as the D3400 takes hold, the D3300 is becoming less easy to come by, but if you do track one down at a good price, then you'll get yourself a great beginner DSLR.

5. Canon EOS Rebel T6i / Canon EOS 750D

A compelling combination of top-notch ergonomics and a superb sensor

Great touchscreen

Wi-Fi with NFC

Average battery life

AF could be better

The EOS Rebel T6i (Called the EOS 750D outside the US) may have just been by the EOS Rebel T7i / 800D last year, but is still a great option if the price of the newer model puts you off. While the sensor isn't quite as good as the one in the newer T7i despite sharing the same resolution, it's still very good, while the vari-angle touchscreen is still one of the best around. AF performance could be better though, but overall this is still a very capable entry-level DSLR.

6. Nikon D5300

No longer Nikon's latest and greatest entry-level DSLR, but almost

VIEW SIMILAR AT PRICEPANDA

High-res, non-anti-aliased sensor

GPS built in

Slow live-view focussing

No touchscreen

The D5300 was around for little more than a year before the D5500 technically replaced it (which has in turn be replaced by the D5600). It shares the same 24.2MP sensor with an identical maximum ISO25,600 sensitivity as the D5500, whilst the D5300's EXPEED 4 image processor and 39-point autofocus system have also been carried over to its replacement. The D5300 doesn't sporta fancy touchscreen control, you do get GPS instead, while the D5300's 600-shot battery life will still outlast a Canon T6i / 750D. All in all, it may not be the latest entry-level DSLR, but the D5300 is still a smart buy.

7. Canon EOS Rebel SL2 / Canon EOS 200D

A cheap and very cheerful entry level camera

Small size

Easy to use

Battery life rated at 380 shots

Fixed rather than vari-angle screen

Canon introduced the EOS Rebel SL1 (EOS 100D outside the US) to compete with the influx of compact system cameras and it was the smallest DSLR available when it was introduced in March 2013. Now replaced by the EOS Rebel SL2 (EOS 200D), its slightly bulkier proportions make it feel more like a slightly pared-down Rebel T7i / 800D than anything unique. It's not a bad option for new users, but there are better-value alternatives available at the moment.

8. Canon EOS Rebel T5i / Canon EOS 700D

Still fresh on the outside, if a little long in the tooth inside

Sound ergonomics

Articulating touchscreen

Outdated sensor

No Wi-Fi

Stick the EOS Rebel T5i (EOS 700D outside the US) next to the T6i or the T7i and you'll struggle to tell them apart. The EOS Rebel T5i is really intuitive to use, regardless of your ability, but the T5i's sensor can trace its roots back to the T2i that was released in 2010 and it's now outclassed in terms of noise suppression and dynamic range. The 9-point autofocus system is also dated and you don't get Wi-Fi connectivity. The T5i's slashed price does make it a tempting proposition though, but the T6i or T7i is a more future-proof choice.

9. Canon EOS Rebel T7 / Canon EOS 2000D

Canon's no-frills entry-level DSLR gets a very minor update

VIEW SIMILAR AT PRICEPANDA

Easy to use

Logically laid out controls

Dated AF system

No touchscreen

The EOS Rebel T7 (known as the EOS 2000D outside the US) is Canon's cheap and cheerful entry-level DSLR. While not featuring quite the same impressive spec as pricier models up the Canon range, you still get a pretty solid set of features for the beginner including Wi-Fi and NFC technology built-in. This means you can transfer images to your smartphone for super-quick sharing. Images from the 24.1MP sensor are more and adequate, but not quite a match for those from the EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D. The 9-point autofocus system, as well as the Live View AF system is disappointing, while there's no touchscreen either.

10. Canon EOS Rebel T6 / Canon EOS 1300D

Canon's ageing budget DSLR is starting to show its age

VIEW SIMILAR AT PRICEPANDA

Low price

Good image quality

No touchscreen

Slow live view focusing

It's just been replaced by the EOS Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D (above), but that does mean that the EOS Rebel T6 (known as the EOS 1300D outside the US) should now be even cheaper. In many ways the specification is very similar to the newer camera, with the key difference being the Rebel T6 features a 18MP sensor, which compared to rivals, is starting to show its age against rivals with higher pixel counts. Canon's just announced its replacement, the EOS Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D, so you might be able to track this down at an even more tempting price before it disappears for good.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III

The brilliant E-M10 Mark III is a little powerhouse of a camera

Compact size, lenses too

Premium finish

Smaller sensor than a DSLR

Focus tracking could be better

The OM-D E-M10 Mark III is a great alternative to an entry-level DSLR. Some will criticise the smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor format (roughly half the area of APS-C) but the effect on image quality is minor and it means that the lenses are as compact and lightweight as the camera itself. Sporting a 5-axis image stabilization system, decent electronic viewfinder, an impressive 8.6fps burst shooting speed and 4K video, it's no toy – the E-M10 Mark III is a properly powerful camera.
