Nikon D700
Oooo-er! Nikon announces their new full-frame sensor ‘compact-professional’ DSLR, the D700, which sits between their D300 and D3. No doubt, this cam is positioned to take on the yet-to-be-announced upgrade to the Canon 5D (Canon 5D came out nearly 3 years ago therefore expect an updated superior version soon).

Nikko highlands
Here are some other pics taken in Nikko. Prior to going to the world heritage site, we were at the Kirifuri Highland which reaches an altitude of between 600 and 1600 meters, and is often covered with fog and mist.

… and ‘Spain are the new Champions of Europe’ defeating the mighty Germany thanks to the one and only goal by Fernando Torres. Seems like Spain has finally assembled the killer team they’ve longed for - I’ve never seen a Spain team with as much firepower as this one. They were running riot throughout the tournement! And thank god Fernando Torres plays for Liverpool…
Anyway, a big big congrats to all Spaniards! Awesome football.
Now that Euro 2008 is over, I can finally get some sleep… ZZZzzzzz…

Moblog diva
… Mie is in town again and finally got to catch up with her. Of the last 10 times she visited Tokyo for work, this is probably only the second time I got to see her because I don’t usually know her schedule. One day out of the blue I would get a message saying, “Hey Eddie, I’m in Tokyo”. Then the next message I would get would be, “Hey Eddie, I’m leaving today”. Yeah… definitely something like that.

Although the Hot Toys’ original Batman and Joker figures, the Batod, and the Batmobile pretty much answers every Bat-fan and figure collectors dreams, the line is still somewhat incomplete. Why? Because we all know Batman gets a new Batsuit half way through the movie therefore how complete will a line of Dark Knight collectibles be without a figure of the new-suit-Batman? Well, hey, hey, hey! Finally, the revealing of Hot Toys ‘Dark Knight’ Batman! Despite being a pretty early prototype, the top half of the suit is already looking very, very tastey!

Besides the 1/6th Batpod to complement the new Hot Toys Batman figure, Hot Toys also gives us the… Tumbler!! Again, this is shown off for the first time at the ITTS 2008.
