| Point, shoot, store and organize
In a digital world, shooting, organizing and sharing high-quality photos and videos keeps getting easier and more affordable. Whatever your budget, a slew of cool bells and whistles makes the newest cameras, camcorders, multifunction photo printers, photo-editing software, and portable photo-storage devices worth getting to capture and preserve your special travel moments. While pocket-size, point-and-shoot digital cameras are popular for their handy size and competitive pricing, bulkier, more sophisticated digital SLR cameras, which have higher resolution and accept interchangeable lenses, are gaining customers, thanks to big price drops. A well-performing digital SLR can be had for less than $500, half of what it cost a few years ago. Brag-factor fanatics, take heart. Top-of-the-line models with 20-plus- megapixel resolution can go for $7,000 or more - if you must.
Delkin's New Dual Universal Battery Charger Wins Prestigious DIMA Award for Outstanding Design ...
Poway, CA. January 30, 2008 - Today Delkin's new Dual Universal Battery Charger was honored with the 2008 DIMA award for outstanding design and innovation. This unique charger for digital camera batteries combines universal compatibility among battery models with the ability to charge two batteries simultaneously. The need for a charger that can recharge two batteries of different models, voltages and even chemical composition at the same time has sprung up from the growth and development in the digi-cam market. "It is now common for households, or even individuals, to own multiple digital cameras," said Anna Lopez, Delkin's Battery Product Manager. "Many photographers own point and shoot cameras for day-to-day shooting, and a digital SLR for more serious photography. Different camera models seldom use the same battery, forcing photographers to carry an array of chargers." Delkin's Dual Universal Battery Charger is a single, two sided charger that uses individual charging plates specific to each camera battery, so it can charge almost any digital camera battery model.
Canon EOS 40D 10.5Mp digital SLR
We've used a wide spectrum of digital SLRs, from entry-level models up to pro cameras. Once you have a taste of the capabilities of a professional camera, you can't easily go back to a digital SLR that's less full-featured; likewise, if you want to step up from an entry-level digital SLR, you have to get something with extra oomph. The Canon EOS 40D delivers outstanding image quality at a price that's in reach for photo enthusiasts and professionals alike. The Canon EOS 40D received a score of Superior in our image-quality tests. Images were well balanced, with good colour saturation and accuracy, under both flash and natural light. One of the Canon EOS 40D's advantages is that it has enough high-powered features to appeal to enthusiasts as well as to professionals seeking a second camera.
A Look Back At The Future Of Electronics
I have a professional photographer friend who spent $25,000 for a digital camera back in the 90s. Now you can get great pro-sumer cameras for under $800. At CES, Sony debuted its $699 Alpha DSLR-A100. Like the Canon EOS Rebel XTi and the Nikon D40, this is a full featured camera with interchangeable lenses sold as a kit with a starter lens. The new Sony camera features a 10 megapixel sensor, the ability to take up to 3 frames per second and the support for ISOs ranging from 100 to 3,200. What that all adds up to is a camera that can perform well in a variety of lighting conditions. Also, like the competition, it has image stabilization which compensates for our shaky hands, especially when using a long zoom.
Casio introduced one of the most innovative cameras at show. It isnt an SLR, but the new Exilim Pro EX-F1 has a 12X optical zoom and what Casio says is the worlds fastest burst shooting performance.
Mobile Phone Review : Samsung SGH-P310
Like its predecessor, the SGH-P300, the SGH-P310 bears the same calculator look and isn't very exciting as an upgrade model. Issues such as the odd keypad layout and lack of an external memory card slot on the P300 have been brought over to the current model. That said, the P310 is not without its merits, and for its size is packed with a decent feature set. But at S$698 (US$444.08) (with a two-year contact when it was first available), this phone isn't for everyone. .
