Canon vs. Nikon

Trivia:

Noong 1917, three of Japan's leading optical manufacturers merge to form a comprehensive, fully integrated optical company known as Nippon Kogaku K.K. and renamed to Nikon Corporation in April 1988. Nikon I is the first Nikon camera which is developed on 1945 and released on March 1948.

Samantala, nagsimula ang Canon which was striving for the world’s best camera  noong 1933 sa Tokyo, Japan, sa isang maliit na apartment at tinawag na Precision Optical Instruments Laboratoyr.  Ang unang prototype camera na kanilang ginawa is named Kwanon after the Buddist goddess of mercy. The first Canon digital SLR was the D30, released in 2000.

Canon and Nikon are the leading brands of film and digital cameras. Sabi ng nakakarami, ang cameras ng naturang company eh my similarities pagdating sa features. Therefore, which is better? Canon? Or Nikon?

Let’s compare. Here are some features and differences of the two. Base sa aking research…

            According to the “The Digital SLR Guide”, Canon EOS Rebel T3 (1100D) at ang Nikon D3100 are models that are suitable for beginners. Kung ilang megapixels meron ang mga ito, uri ng LCD, dimensions, o bigat, so far ay halos pareho nga lamang o kaunti ang pinagkaiba.  It has Nikon's Guide Mode, which is designed to initiate beginning photographers to DSLR controls and functionality. Pero, kung lens ang pag-uusapan, unlike ng Canon T3, ‘yung Nikon D3100 is not 100% compatible with older Nikon lenses. Therefore, canon provides more flexibility and better choices of lenses. Kung ease of use naman, mas lamang ang Nikon dahil it has Nikon's Guide Mode, which is designed to initiate beginning photographers to DSLR controls and functionality. It is better to have this kind of option kasi nga the camera isa designed for beginners. Ito pa ang mga differences nila (retrieved from http://www.digitalphotographywriter.com/2011/02/canon-t3-1100d-vs-nikon-d3100.html), in favor of the Nikon D3100 is the sensor size and resolution, 1080p (Full HD) movie rerding and larger LCD. The D3100 is also a bit larger than the Canon’s. In favor of Rebel T3 is the better maximum light sensitivity, a bit lighter and smaller than the Canon’s. In favor of the Canon RebelT3 is the better maximum light sensitivity, 10% larger magnification view finder and probably better ergonomics to the improved design and larger body size.

Samantala, kung ang Canon T3i 600D at Nikon D5100 ang pagkukumparahin, which are classified as intermediate cameras (kung saan ang users eh sinasabing may experience na sa paggamit ng SLR cameras), sa mga nabasa ko, ito ‘yung pumukaw sa atensyon ko. Ang Nikon D5100 ay merong options available when mode dial set to “Effects” such as night vision, selective color, etc. samantalang ang T3i ay wala nito. Ang Nikon D5100 ay meron ding Advanced Scene Mode gaya ng Night Portrait, Party/Indoor etc. while canon T3i has ambiance setting adjustment for scene mode naman  kung saan ang users can access a quick menu screen to select an ambiance setting (ito pala ‘yung  tinatawag na Basic+). Mas madaming option ang retouch (o edit) menu ng Nikon D5100 kaysa sa Canon T3i. Overall, D5100 registers up to 20 options from the Playback, Shooting, Custom Settings, Setup, and Retouch menus for fast access to settings you change frequently while the other one registers up to 6 menu options and Custom Functions.

Kung ang user ng camera eh pawang mga advanced amateur o “Professional Consumers" or Pro-Sumers for short, bagay sa kanila ang dalawang modelong ito, ang Canon 60D at Nikon D7000. In this category, ‘eto ang advantages ng bawat isa. Canon (retrieved from http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon_EOS_60D-vs-Nikon_D7000) has "Very good low-light performance, with low noise levels and good retention of detail." Canon has a flip-out; high resolution screen at fast-shuttered speed. Samantala, ang D7000 which produces high quality output in almost any shooting situation ay weather sealed and has continous video focus. It also automatically focuses shooting video.

‘Yan, naikumpara na natin ang Canon at Nikon in their different levels and models. Both have pros. Pero, pra sa‘men, Nikon is our choice. The ease of use of buttons and menu is a concern lalo na sa mga beginners sa paggamit ng ganitong uri ng camera like us. With Nikon(D5100), you may not use additional software to edit artifacts in your photo kasi nga pwede mo na itong gawin using your camera itself.

Tablet PC or Laptop? Which is Better?

           

                                    

         Portability is often the main advantage of choosing a laptop or a tablet PC .Pero, Which is better? Tablet PC o Laptop? Laptop o Tablet? Uhm, para sa akin, laptop is better than tablet pc. Bakit? Mas madami kasing pwedeng gawin sa laptop. Mas madaming applications ang pwedeng i-install. You can run more programs here . Pero, technically, you will notice which is better as you read this. J

            Laptop.  Laptop is a combined functionality of a desktop with the portability of a mobile phone. . A laptop integrates most of the components of a desktop computer, including a display, a keyboard, a pointing device and speakers into a single unit. A laptop is powered by electricity via an AC adapter, and can be used away from an outlet using a rechargeable battery. (‘Yan, bagay sa mga kakomsay ko na anywhere eh DOTA ang hanap.)

            Tablet. It is a mobile computer, larger than a mobile phone, integrated into a flat touch screen and primarily operated by touching the screen rather than using a physical keyboard. It often uses an onscreen virtual keyboard, a passive stylus pen, or a digital pen. Kung tamad ka magdala ng notebook at ballpen, bagay sa’yo ‘tong tablet PC. Suitable din ito kung hilig mo mag Facebook 24/7.

TABLET VS.LAPTOP

Size

             Nakakita ka na naman for sure, ng laptop at Tablet PC, hindi ba?  Laptop is bigger in size. It weighs 5 to 7 pounds samantalang ang Tablet PC weighs around 1.5 pounds lang. Kaya mas madaling dalhin ang Tablet PC. On the other hand, mas gusto naman ng iba ‘yung laptop dahil sa larger screen nito than tablets. A minimum screen size of current tablets is 7 inch. Typically all 7 inch tablet computers are of slate form. Tablets with convertible form have 10 inch or bigger screens.

Battery Life

            Tablet PC’s battery last up to ten hours while laptop’s battery  last up to three hours only at mas mababawasan ang span nito kung gumagamit ng applications such as videos and games.

Productivity

               Laptop is more productive than Tablet PCs. But with additional keyboards and accessories, a tablet PC also converted into a serious machine.

Hardware Connectivity

There are huge peripheral support to laptops and Tablet devices are yet to come to standard ports and connectors. Mas mahal nga lang ‘yung para sa Tablet PC kaysa sa laptops.

Storage Capacity

            64GB, the largest drive available on tablets, isn't even half of the storage available on a cheap laptop and a high end laptop can have as much as 10 times or more the amount of storage space of the largest tablets.

Memory

          RAM is important when working with large files like video or picture editing, large amounts of fast memory make any task using a large file faster. More advanced games also require more RAM. Tablets typically have 256 to 512 megabytes of memory, this was what you'd find in a laptop 5 or more years ago. Today most laptops come with a minimum of 2 gigabytes of RAM though 3 and 4 gigs are common.

Navigation

            Ang laptop, kailangan ng input devices gaya ng keyboard and mouse while ‘yung tablet is touchscreen naman. Touch screen is responsive and more natural to use than a mouse. On the other hand, mahirap icontrol ang touch screen in doing typing jobs.

Operating System

            Mostly, kahit anong OS eh pwede sa laptop unlike ng tablet na hindi na pwedeng palitan.

Which is better?

            Ikaw na bahala humusga. Kung ang hanap mo ay portable, efficient and smart device, then you should go for a tablet PC. Pero, kung ito ang kailangan mo, heavy-duty gaming, some serious programming and similar other works, need software and hardware support, laptop ang piliin mo. Basta ako, I go with laptop.

Home:The Best Place to Spend Holiday

Christmas is a big holiday in the Phillipines. It’s so huge almost Filipino really go out of their way and takes time to prepare for this annual occasion. Though Christmas in the Phillipines may have been influenced by European traditions in the latter part of its history, it’s own traditions have surpassed the changing times. This has made Christmas in the Philippines quite unique. (Retrieved from http://www.philippinesinsider.com/events-festivals-holidays/christmas-in-the-philippines/)

Christmas holiday is here!

Time to relax.

Time to rest.

Time to enjoy.

Sabi nila, kapag college ka na (tulad ko), asahan mo ang tambak na assignments at projects na ibibigay ng teachers mo kahit during this season. Pero, hindi mo naman talaga kailangan na magpakaburo o magpakadalubhasa. Find time for your family and yourselves. Kung kaya mo gumala d’yan sa tabi-tabi o mag out-of-town, go! Pero, kung katulad kita na sanay na nasa bahay lang during this season at walang budget, puede pa din naman magplano o gamitin ang imagination. 

Ang plano ko? Sa bahay magspend ng christmas. (Sa Lumamapong Balagbag, Indang, Cavite. Diaz Residence. ) Bakit? My relatives live in Manila. ‘Pag ganitong christmas week, sila ang pumupunta sa amin. Sabi nga, pasko ang isa sa longest and most festive celebration. Oo nga, kaya more family bonding moments. With them, we enjoy the traditional celebration of Christmas

Sabi nila, mas masaya daw sila ‘pag sa amin nagcelebrate. S’yempre, chance din nila ‘yun para makatakas sa polusyon na hatid ng Maynila. (Hahaha!) ‘Pag dumating na sina tito, tita, ninong, ninang at sina pinsan, wow, mala-reunion ang dating. (At asahan mo na ang biyaya from them. =) ). 

            Christmas decor. Hindi kami mahilig maglagay ng decorations. (Uhm, sakto lang.) Wala kaming Christmas tree ‘pag pasko. Hindi na din kami naglalagay ng Christmas light. (Baka daw kasi maging reason pa ng sunog sa bahay.) Ok na sa amin ‘yung may star lantern tsaka mallit na  medias ni Santa Claus (na bigay lang sa akin ng tita ko.)

             Simbang gabi? Mawawala ba naman ‘yun? Kapag nasa amin sila, mas masaya daw magsimba. Oo nga naman kasi sama-sama kami. Ang masaya pa nito, may kainan after ng mass. (Pinakahihintay ng madla.) May pagkakataon nga lamang  na nagkakatamaran din gumising ng maaga. (Malamig kasi.)

            “Jingle bells… jingle bells…” Carolling. Ok lng tumapat sa aming bahay basta ayos lang din ‘yung pagkanta lalo na ng mga bata. (Thank you… thank you…Ang babait ninyo… Thank you! Hirit pa nila kapag nabigyan mo ng bente pesos.) Tapos, maya-maya, andyan na ang mga barangay kagawad, SK, PTA officers ng elementary school sa amin, mga nanay ng day care students at samahan ng malalakas ang trip (pero sila ang pinakanakakatuwa sa lahat), uhm, share your blessings

            Gala-gala. Isa ito sa pinakamasayang moment. Pupuntang mall. Bibili ng ganyan. Bibili ng ganito. Libre naman nila eh. Minsan, manunuod din ng MMFF movie. (Treat ulit nila.)

            Noche Buena. ‘Eto ang masaya. Kainan! Tulong tulong muna sa pagpiprepare ng foods. Then, sabay sabay kami kakain. Hindi uso sa amin ang letson. Ang ham, minsan lang. Pero, the best ang spaghettie, fruit salad, barbeque, hotdog, graham cake, leche plan, ice cream… Uhm, pero what count most is ‘yung bonding moment namin. Super saya talaga.

            Kahit na hindi ko iwan ang Indang ‘pag pasko, feel ko naman na ang Christmas is time for family, time for giving and a time for a warm friendship ‘ika nga. (Naks!)

Merry Christmas folks!

MERGE SORT vs. SHELL SORT

MERGE SORT

Description

            Merge sort is built upon the concept of merging. Merging takes two (already sorted) lists and produces a new output list containing all of the items from both lists in sorted order

            Merge sort is an O(n log n) comparison-based sorting algorithm. Most implementations produce a stable sort, meaning that the implementation preserves the input order of equal elements in the sorted output. It is a divide and conquer algorithm. Merge sort was invented by John von Neumann in 1945. A detailed description and analysis of bottom-up merge sort appeared in a report by Goldstine and Neumann as early as 1948.

Application

Evaluation

            The process of merge sort describes more of a combine-and-conquer technique. The process starts by dividing into two-element array and each pair is sorted. Then, two element array became four element array and each value in each set of array is compared and sorted. Lastly, ‘yung four element array will be written in a single list and compare each element and sort.

            Worst case ng merge sort? Kapag ung elements is nasa descending order.

SHELL SORT          

Description

            The Shell sort, one of the eldest sorting algorithms, is published by and named after Donald L. Shell. It was published on 1959. Some old references named this sorting algorithm as Shell-Metzner which is named after Marlene Metzner Norton but according to her, her name should not attach to it because she had no any contribution to it.

            The principle of Shell sort algorithm is to arrange the data in a two-dimensional array (which is represented by rows and columns) and sorts the column of the array using insertion sort.

            Shell sorts requires asymptotically fewer than O(n²)  comparisons. It is built upon the concept of h-sorting and uses the increment sequence h₁, h₂, h₃… It improves insertion sort by comparing elements separated by a gap. It allows an element to take bigger steps towards its expected position. Multiple passes over the elements are taken with smaller to smallest gap sizes. When the gap reaches one, the last step to be done is to do a plain insertion sort, guaranteeing that the final list is sorted. The efficiency of using this kind of sorting algorithm is you don’t have to compare element with other in one position at a time which is efficient in sorting medium size of list. Shell sort is faster than insertion sort but somewhat slower than quick sort if we are going to sort a large number of data.

Application

Evaluation

            It is stated in the previous pages that shell sort improves insertion sort which is true because in insertion sort, we have to compare an element before it at kung nasa reverse order ito, we swap them. Paulit- ulit na gagawin ‘yung step until the array is sorted kung kaya more comparisons and exchanges of position ang mangyayari. Unlike in Shell sort, the element will take giant steps towards its final position.

 The process of sorting using shell sort  starts by dividing the length of an array by two which also means that it starts with a large value of h or gap, kaya magkakaroon ng sublist na iso-sort. Once the sublist is sorted, we write them in a single list. Then, the value of h will become smaller as it is divided by two again and there would be another sublist to be sorted. This process will be done for several times hanggang maging one ang gap wherein the list is nearly sorted and we only have to sort in using insertion sort.

In our own analysis, the best case of shell sort is, of course, when the list is almost sorted while it is on worst case if the list is arranged  in descending order wherein sa final list na one na lang ang gap, mas maraming number ang kailangan i-sort using insertion sort.

Comparison of Merge Sort and Shell Sort

Merge sort and shell sort are both sorting algorithms. Which is best?

Mas maganda gamitin ang merge sort. Kung titingnan sa example, mas madaling na-sort ang unsorted array gamit ang merge sort kaysa sa shell sort algorithm.  J

Lapu- Lapu: The First Filipino Hero

       Phillipines is rich in culture and history. Sabi nga, tahanan ito ng lahi ng mga matatapang (mukha nga) at lumalaban para sa kalayaan which is proven by Lapu-Lapu.

Kapag tinanong mo ang isang batang mag-aaral kung sino si Lapu-Lapu, tiyak na isasagot nito ang “S’ya ang pumatay kay Magellan.”

      Sino nga ba si Lapu-Lapu?

      He is the first known Filipino hero.(Alam mo pa ba ‘yun?) Pero, bago s’ya maging bayani, heto ang naging kwento n’ya.

            Ang mga magulang ni Lapu-Lapu ay sina Kusgano at Inday Putti at ipinanaganak noong 1941. Bukod dito ay wala ng naitala tungkol sa pagkapanganak n’ya. Ipinasa kay Kusgano ang kahariang Mactan mula sa kaniyang Ina, Reyna Matang Mantaunas na pinangalingan nang pangalan Mactan. (Tagal na kasi. Buti sana kung may historians na noong mga oras na ‘yun. J).

According to oral accounts that had been passed from generations, Lapu Lapu resembles a man of great power. He was as strong and as skillful as anyone in his village. At the tender age of six, he already showed remarkable skills that were essential to be a village chief during those early times. Lapu Lapu was also said to have displayed an outstanding degree of intellect. At age seven, Lapu Lapu already knew how to read and write proficiently, and, during his 20's, he had already experienced and won tough battles against Bornean marauders and pirates who were unfortunate enough to land on Philippine soil. (Retrieved from http://www.helium.com/items/1860160-biography-of-lapu-lapu)

       Naging pinuno s’ya ng isla ng Mactan at nagpakita ng kaaya-ayang katangian ng isang datu. Lapu-Lapu was a Muslim Iranun Chieftain and was also known as "Kaliph Pulaka" or Cali Pulacu.Sa pelikulang Lapu-Lapu sa direksyon ni William G. Mayo, nailarawan ang pagiging magiting, matapang, at may malasakit na pinuno ni Raja Lapu-Lapu ng Pulo ng Mactan. Dahil sa likas na yaman nitong pulo marami ang may nais na sumakop dito. Isa na si Rajah Humabon at ang kanyang alagad na si Datu Zula. Maraming beses na sinubukan sakupin ng mga kawal ni Raja Humabon ang pulo subalit sila ay laging bigo dahil sa pagkakaisa at pagmamahal ng mga taga Mactan sa Mactan na ipinagtatanggol kahit kanilang ikamatay. This movie also showed how Lapu-Lapu valued their culture and beliefs. (Oh, ‘di ba, mahusay! J)

      Sa panahon din ng pamumuno ni Lapu Lapu ng makilala niya si Prinsesa Bulakna na kanyang naging kabiyak. Ang kanilang pagsasama ay tinanggap na malugod ng mga tao sa pulo.

      Lapulapu is known as the first native of the archipelago to have resisted Spanish colonization which is why he is regarded as the first Filipino hero.

      1521 noon nang dumating si Magellan sa isla kasama ang kanyang dabarkads. Kahit na pumanig sa kanya sina Rajah Humabon, natalo sila ng grupo ni Lapu-Lapu. Ipinaglaban nito ang kanilang paniniwala at tumutol sa kagustuhan ni Magellan. Yehey!.

      Sabi nga, si Lapu-Lapu ay “among the most famous inhabitants who demonstrated love for his country.” Tama, pero, ang totoo n’yan, hindi naman talaga alam ni Lapu-Lapu na magkakaroon ng bansang Pilipinas at ang balak ng Kastila na gawing kolonya ang Pilipinas. Ang paglaban nya sa pangkat ni Magellan ay dahil sa mahal niya ang isla niya- ang Mactan, at hindi ang buong archipelago.” Sabi nga sa blog na nabasa ko, “hindi batid ng simpleng taong si Lapu Lapu hangang sa huling araw ng kaniyang buhay, na ang kaniyang kabayanihan, kanilang tagumpay laban sa mga Kastila, ito’y naitala at pagaaralan kasama ang kaniyang pangalan sa aklat ng kasaysayan! Siguro kung ang pangyayaring ito ay kung kailan lang na dekada, si Lapu Lapu ay nagpa “interview” kay Antonio Pigaffeta at nagpakuha nang litrato.” (Hahaha!) Hindi siya tulad nina Rizal, Bonifacio at Aguinaldo na namulat sa kalakaran ng dayuhan. Gayunpaman, all of them fight for their rights and freedom.

      Walang nakakaalam ng dahilan ng pagkamatay ni Lapu-Lapu ngunit may mga nagsasabi na ito ay dahil sa itinali ang kanyang mga kamay at paa at ipinahila sa kalabaw na pakana ng kanyang mga kaaway. Ganito din ang ipninakita sa pelikulang “Lapu-Lapu.”

      

Dahil sa kagitingan ni Lapu-Lapu, dami n’ya tuloy credits. These are:

The 1898 Philippine Declaration of Independence refers to Lapu-Lapu as "King Kalipulako de Maktan".

Lapu-lapu's Monument at Mactan

The Cebuano people have erected a bronze statue in Lapu-Lapu’s honor on Mactan Island. 

Lapu-lapu's Monument at Mactan

The town of Opon In Cebu was renamed to Lapu-Lapu City in his honor.

A 12 meter tall statue of Lapu-Lapu also stands in Rizal Park in Manila. This statue was created by sculptor Sajid Imao and erected in 2003. 

                                                                           

Statue of Lapu-Lapu at Rizal Park

    Lapu-Lapu was also depicted on the defunct one centavo coin that circulated from 1967 to 1974.

One Centavo Coin                             

The central figure in the official seal of the PNP or Philippine National Police is Lapu-Lapu.

Two Filipino films, both called "Lapu-Lapu", have been made about the figure—the first in 1955 and the second in 2002.

An alcoholic drink known as Chief Lapu-Lapu cocktail was named in his honor.

Official Seal of PNP 1

Many Filipinos may not know that a street in the South of market neighborhood of San Francisco, California is named after Lapu-Lapu.
