Which is the toughest part when it comes to blogging ? So many of you would have so many answers for this question but according to me, it is photography. Finding the right prop for product photography, perfect lighting, perfect background and trying to have some unique pictures clicked is Phew.. so tough. I know many of you out there would be trying to do hi fi with me now !!
I did not even have a camera of my own when I started blogging and I was using my father in law's Samsung camera. When we were moving out of India, I really did need a good camera and that is how my NIKON D3300 come into my life. Well, I am not an expert with the DSLR's , but since I anyway wanted a camera, we thought it would be wise to invest in a DSLR rather than a point & shoot one.
But , not at all times, I feel comfortable to take my camera along & click pictures because it surely does attract the attention of others. I prefer quietly clicking pictures or doing vlogs with my mobile. That is when I received this mail from Asus India that they want to give me one of their latest releases- Asus Zenfone 2 Laser for my blog photography. I was kind of shell shocked when I received that email and it took some time for it to sink into me.

I love the fact that it has many new modes for easy photo clicking in different lights. I was pretty impressed by some modes like Miniature which helps you focus on somethings and blur the rest which is quite amazing. The timestamp can also be added to pictures which I quite like because it reminds me of the olden days photos which used to have the timestamp.

Overall Verdict : The Asus Zenfone 2 Laser is a great budget buy with a lot of Camera Features that enables us to take pictures on the go and as a blogger , I find it really helpful for my work.
The Night Mode pictures are a little disappointing which I hope Asus will improve in the next releases.
