long before i turn into computer geek, i was an electronic geek :P

and i have a small confession, when i was a kid, i used to dismantle radio (even TV set)to see what inside it and wonder how come tht things produce sound and image heheh...i thought there were human inside it actually :P , *koh koh koh...but tht lead me to my passion and knowledge in electronics and as for the radio and tv set tht i've dismantle, err..god have mercy on them heheh...

and today..i've been checking old boxes contain 'old treasure' at my room and i found this..



yea..this is my antique camcoder heheh...i bought them many years ago (1998-if im not mistaken lah) and i've travelled many part in peninsular to take wedding videos :P, back then i was a freelance videographer for weddings, thts why i bought 2 of them (one serve as backup camcoder)

these things aint cheap back then, these two cost me about 5K, and it is an VHS camcoder, nowdays u can buy a Hi-8/mini DV camcoder for less than 1K, even the DVD-camcoder priced at less than 2K...what a memory...but these camcoder is long broken actually, and i didnt take any effort to repair them since parts are not available anymore for these model :P but..who need camcoder anymore? smart phone can do anything these days :P



then, looking at this 'electronics corpse' somemore one of it, is Panasonic brand with 22x optical zoom, i have a nasty thought...jeng..jeng...what if i swap the lens with my Panasonic Lumix digi-cam ?(which is 12X optical zoom) *koh koh koh...



well, i know its not possible tho' since they are from different 'race' hehe..but as a 'full of couriousity' person, i did dismantle it just to see what inside it (just like old time, but this time with knowledge of course :P ) and i dun have to worry about wrecking them, since they're long dead oredi heheh...


so, this is the lens ... who knows simple things like this can be very complicated :P

after having my satistification looking at what inside it, i put it back together, and keep them where i found them, i wont throw them away since they're 5K in value, but thts not the case, its more to something money cant buy tho' its called 'sentimental value' *keh keh keh
