The new Nikon D810A DSLR camera: Now, you can shoot for the stars


Wanted to do more than your street photography? A new full frame DSLR camera from Nikon allows you to shoot for the stars -- literally!

Nikon had just announced the new D810A, its new gear meant exclusively for astrophotography. The new model is based widely on their existing D810 model but equipped with more features and gizmos to make it the best astrophotography tool.

The Nikon D810A comes with the same 36.3 megapixel full frame Nikon FX format CMOS sensor used in the D810 but will not include an optical low-pass filter. It will have Nikon’s latest and greatest image-processing engine, EXPEED 4.

For its astrophotography, the D810A is built with a specially made optical filter that enabled ‘beautiful reproduction of vivid reds in images of nebulae that emit H-alpha light. Nikon claims that this optical filter is capable of four times greater transmission of H-alpha light than the one used on the regular D810 model.

Other upgrades include a a long-exposure manual (M*) mode with exposure time of up to 900 s and a live preview function for optimum focusing and image composition.

The D810A also displays a live view of up to 23x to assure maximum focus and an electronic front-curtain shutter to minimize mechanical shake, plus the ability to make an unlimited continuous shooting mode.

The Nikon D810A will fetch a price of $3,799.95 (about PHP170,000) when it arrives in stores on May. (Source: Nikon)

The new GMA AFFORDABOX could be your best digital TV alternative

There's a new digital TV receiver box in town. And it's definitely a Kapuso — the GMA AFFORDABOX! We're all TV fans. I’m certain you’re not supposed to admit that outside of therapy, but I know I’m not alone. While we enjoy our television shows, most of the times we see a lack of variety in our old digital TV boxes. So, what’s us TV-lovin’ folks to do? Go break the monotony! Posted over the Kapuso Admin Portal Facebook Page , the GMA Affordabox is unquestionably similar to ABS-CBN TV Plus box. It will receive digital signals and is compatible with any TV models with AV input. And because it's from GMA, we can expect a lot of Kapuso TV shows in the offing. Looking further on the packaging, it promises a multimedia player system, personal video recorder, and supports the nationwide emergency warning broadcast system with functional auto-on alert feature. It also says there, "one-time purchase, no monthly fees." Click the link below to buy the...

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...

The Mitsubishi Xpander was an instant phenomenal hit when it came out on 2019 and has remained so until today. Xpander's major competitors in the MPV market, Toyota Rush, Innova and Avanza, Honda BR-V and Mobilio and the Suzuki Ertiga, were caught by surprise by the Xpander's popularity and it's taking them forever to offer a proper response. Meanwhile, the Xpander's continued superiority paved the way to a new variant, a crossover SUV called the Xpander Cross which was unveiled in Indonesia November 2019 and is expected to hit the Philippine market in the first quarter of 2020. Fortunately, Suzuki might have something under its sleeves, too. The new Suzuki XL7, the Ertiga-based crossover SUV which is set to premiere for March 2020.

Commuters' Guide To P2P Bus Stations/Routes, Locations, Schedules And Prices

I make at least a dozen trips to Makati every year, traveling to client meetings for work and pleasure – mostly by MRT (Metro Rail Transit), seldom by car. A car is not the best way to experience EDSA (obviously), so if I can't get an MRT ride and I don't want to use my car, my other option is by bus. I have to admit, I have my reservations when it comes to buses. Buses doesn’t exactly have the best reputation in Metro Manila. But after talking to friends who’ve been riding the Premium Point-To-Point buses, one of the first thing they make a point to say is that it’s nothing like the P2P Bus experience. Well, that was enough to convince me to give it a go. In an attempt to compare the two main travel options operating along EDSA, I traveled south to Makati on a P2P bus in the morning and returned to Quezon City on board the MRT in the afternoon (with just enough time in between to squeeze lunch at the Glorietta). What I found: The P2P bus ride was comfortable, rela...
