Will it BREAK, DROWN, FREEZE & BURN? SONY TX5 Camera review

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Sony’s “tough” camera; Will it Blend? phht, probably, those Blendtec Blenders are STUPID evil, but Will Sony’s little “tough” point and shoot happy snapper survive the torture test of Blunty? A man KNOWN to not just void warranties, but violate them with the thick end of a baseball bat… lets see.

Blunty3000 puts the SONY Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 camera he was offered for review, through it’s hoops to see if it really IS as tough as sony have been telling people… by giving it several Drop tests, submersion in water, freezing it solid and setting it on fire*

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the time-lapse footage was shot on my iPhone 3GS using the ReelMoments app, and I had it mounted to the tripod using my OWLE Bubo (reviewed here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWjp5UeVxuE )

*note; Sony don’t actually claim that it’s fire-proof… at all… but it felt like a fun idea heh.

See for yourself, here’s a video I made using a Flip: http://bit.ly/cPFdem

Buy These Instead:
Canon SX120: http://amzn.to/9FD7p9
Canon SD940: http://amzn.to/90UvaN

(and no, I’m not being paid to promote Canon, I just really love their PowerShot line)

octopus steals my video camera and swims off with it (while it’s Recording)

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

while trying to get video of a wild octopus, it suddenly dashed towards me and rips my shiny new camera from out of my hands, then swims off, all while the camera is recording! he swam away very quickly like a naughty shoplifter. after a 5 minute chase, I placed my speargun underneath him and he quickly and curiously grabbed hold of the gun as well, giving me enough time to reach in and grab the camera from out of his mouth. I didn’t feel threatened at all during the whole ordeal. he seemed to be fixated on the shiny metallic blue digital camera. the only confusing behavior was how he dashed off with it like a thief haha. cheeky octopus.
