A photographer (digital since 2001 and film since early 1980s) and a technology gadget fanatic since the boom of Information Technology (IT) products and services, I do keep a lookout for new IT products especially DSLR, lens, smartphones, laptops and other range of IT products too. Recently, I was invited by XPR and EPSON Singapore to test out their award winning photo printer, the EPSON Stylus Photo TX720WD, the Best Photography Printer in the recent PC World L.A. Awards 2010.
