The perfect complement to your bulky DSLR, Leica’s V-Lux 20 takes all the features you’ll ever need, combines them with stunning design and high-quality pictures, all in a compact package perfect for any situation. It’s no secret that when it comes to looks, there isn’t anything on the market that beats that vintage-inspired aesthetic of Leica; a timeless look that’ll satisfy the harshest critic. Yet this isn’t like the girls you pick up in the clubs, the V-Lux 20 has some serious brains inside that gorgeous case: high-performance 12x Super-zoom Leica DC-Vario-Elmar lens with a focal range from 25 -300 mm, ergonomically-positioned controls, 12.1 effective megapixel sensor, 720p HD movie recording, and integrated GPS tagging functionality to go with all the regular standard features you expect. Definitely an interesting option for the design-savvy amateur photographer.

Available in May at Leica dealers worldwide.

ACE Hotel: New York City

Posted by Jen Yu | Posted on 30-04-2010

Let me first start this off by saying that the ACE Hotel NYC is a great backdrop for photo shoots…the hotel lobby, the event space, staircase, and loft, all make for great set-ups! The vibe is very rock/hipster/camping/Americana etc…I’m also a big fan of their bar scene and the drinks are amazing. However, after having just stayed there for the night, I wouldn’t be the first to recommend this hotel for anything more than the scene, a drink, or even the occasional Breslin Burger, from time to time.

Where not to stay: The service here is horrible…clearly that is not what they are known for. This is definitely not my idea of “lux” by any means. I’ve now seen all their rooms, and although the loft suite is the largest in the hotel, the amenities are really underwhelming. Considering I had to call maintenance to repair my tv, dialed housekeeping for five hours to get a set of towels, then back to maintenance to fix the shower (at 1am) AND room service forgot utensils?? I’d have to say it gets a NO GO on my list of where to stay…I could probably go IN a bit more, but i’ll give it a rest since I happen to like the management staff AND “the list” at Breslin is official. Just have the Lamb Burger and call it day…
