How to operate a Nescafe Dolce Gusto

First time I saw this product,was in a hypermart. Couldn't quite figure out exactly how it worked.

Today, I jumped at the chance to check it out when I found SenQ doing a demo

The SenQ salesperson gave me a choice of 5 flavours to choose from.....Chococino, Mocha, Latte Macchiato,Espresso or Cappucino .

I settled on the Espresso, and he promptly fished it out from this cluster of little tubs .

Somehow I kept looking at the price

.....as he checked the water level at the back of the machine,before slotting the Espresso portion into this little top front drawer

Before finally placing the cup in its place.

He sort of panicked a bit because when he pressed the side button, it just didn't function.

Luckily this girl came back in time to help out

She fiddled with the bottom of the removable plastic water container at the back before hitting the "on" button again.

That did the trick.

While the portion may be rather small, the coffee is strong enough to keep you up when you need it most. It's also compact,stylish and quiet enough to fit into your office cubicle and makes a rather nice gift . The only drawback is the initial ease in operation.

Bottomline is would I get this for myself ? High probability in that happening .

Panasonic Leica Lens - FX80

I'm not about to splurge on a pricey Leica camera. At least not yet.

Even if their cheaper digital compacts like the one below, costs less than a wad of $5000 ONLY.

However, did you know that Panasonic have point and shoot cameras that come outfitted with them ?

Without costing an arm and a leg too, that's quite awesome !

Look at that. See the LEICA brand name across the lens barrel of the 24mm wide angle DC Vario-Summarit ?

Yes. You heard right. Wide angle lens on a compact. Is that more than nice or what ?

The Fx80 is a camera that is slim and lightweight. With a 3" touch screen panel that makes editing options such a breeze, as well as a CCD sensor, to grant you low noise, high quality images .

Perfect for slipping into a purse , neither is it too cumbersome to strap onto your wrist.

Observe how the charger head, is way thicker than the camera itself.

The best thing about this camera, are 2 features that I like very much. Beauty Retouch and Defocus.

Beauty Retouch makes it simple to digitally add on make up, slim your jawline, widen small eyes and airbrush the worst complexion so that it ends up looking magazine worthy.
No need to use a computer and spend hours doing that, making it a piece of cake for anyone, to look instantly made up, slimmer and most radiant even .

While Defocus, helps achieve DSLR looking pictures, by blurring out the background for you .

Retailing at $899, it's a 12 megapixel full HD dream, compatible with 3D viewing equipment .

There is a ton of fun to be had, with a mike on top and a speaker at the bottom . A whole lot to discover and record.
