I was recently invited to a product event by Huawei New Zealand which they launched their latest smartphone Huawei P20 / P20 Pro which has the world’s first triple Leica rear camera setup. On the same day, they also had a free public event called “Huawei P20 Fed Street Festival” which they have setup a stage on a public street here in the Auckland city centre with a line up of local artists performing from late afternoon all the way to the evening.
When I attend a product launch event, I usually would take some photos and this time I also wanted to take some videos. Originally my plan was to take one of my Nikon full-frame DSLR to capture some photos and my Panasonic G85 for videos. You just really can’t go wrong with that combo. I even thought of bringing my Leica M6 as well as I’ve just bought a few rolls of Kodak P3200 film so they should be great for the night event.
