Fantastic news from Nikon

2011-04-05T19:20:00.001-07:00

Are you ready to create new pictures? Before you buy a new DSLR Camera, you should consider this new camera because Nikon has officially announced their latest DSLR- the D5100.

As a follow up to D5000, a discontinued DSLR model with a 12.3 megapixel sensor, the new D5100 will feature a 16.2 MP sensor- impressive for their advanced-beginner DSLR. Other new, innovative features of the D5100 include a “night vision mode” with stable ISOs up to 102400! However, Canon's somewhat surprising release of the Canon EOS 600D may be just what is required to spur Nikon into action. This is especially true as there is no new model with a vari-angle LCD and the new sensor.

The Nikon D5100 will of course be the vari-angle LCD model of the DX line-up and the LCD would need to flip out from the side like most other similar models. The main reason is that the flip down design of the D5000 simply does not work well once it's mounted on a tripod. Furthermore, this should allow the LCD size to remain at 3.0-inch and hopefully also delivering high resolution at 920k dots. Considering that Canon is already offering a 3.0-inch, high resolution LCD, this requirement of the Nikon D5100 is pretty much a given.

Finally there is the video mode. While the AF-F focusing is a welcomed feature, it is simply not quick or accurate enough for general shooting with shallow depth of field. It's expected that with the Nikon D5100, the focusing can be improved for even better results. Of course, serious movie makers will simply find this feature meaningless as they would need to be completely in control of the focusing to anticipate the scenes they want played out.

Will we see some form of digital zoom like the Canon EOS 600D; it's quite probable as the concept is already extremely prevalent in camcorders before it was introduced in the 600D.

Wow, the entry level DSLR camera competition will be very hot. It’s your right to choose a new DSLR camera to suit your needs.

How to Keep the camera to keep it safe from damage and no loss of data?

2011-02-19T16:51:00.000-08:00

Holidays would be fun if you do good preparation. Suppose you want to follow the Tour with travel agents or with family. Do not forget to bring a camera with the aim of going to collect good photos.

Your fun will begin when you arrive at your holiday vacation and documented. In addition to money and medicine, the camera is a gadget that should be mandatory when you take a vacation. The camera can be a still-image camera or a video camera, digital or analog.

And ... If the digital camera into your top choice, I want to give some tips to consider:

1. Choose a digital camera that is not too hard to use, such as point and shoot (pocket size camera) or entry-level DSLR camera. Now there is also another alternative, namely Micro Four Third cameras or mirror less camera.

2. Maintain your battery’s life, and always carry a spare battery. You will not want the important moments that you want to capture just disappear because the battery is out. In cold weather always keep your batteries warm, e.g. by keeping it close to your body. Do not forget to bring your battery in fully charged condition at the time to start a holiday.

3. Remember wearing a waterproof camera bag and resistant to impact so your camera and lenses safe and not easily damaged.

4. Data Storage Media: use large-capacity memory card if necessary. The greater the resolution of your camera, the greater the memory capacity you need. Use a memory card that has a good speed so fast when you take pictures and transmit data to other media.

5. When making replacement lenses, especially those of you who carry a camera or digital SLR camera lenses less mirror can be exchanged and replaced with another lens, so be careful when changing your camera lens.

Do not let dust blocking your camera sensor. Clean with a special tool, not with tissue paper carelessly because besides hurting your camera lens, also can damage the sensor.

6. Move the data, do not let your data pile up too long in the memory card. After use, if possible, immediately move your data to CD or laptop.

Always start the holidays by bringing an additional memory card to be empty.

7. When you vacation at the beach, lake or waterfall, try the camera so that is not exposed to splashing water. Do not let the camera or lens you care fell into the river or sea water. When that happens, your camera or lens is broken, and difficult to repair.

8. If you are in crowded places like markets, shops or other crowded places, liver careful because there may be pickpockets who are interested to take your camera without official permission from you. If that happens, you not only lose the camera, then you will lose photo memories stored in the memory card.

Congratulations and enjoy your vacation, I hope your holidays enjoyable and full of happy memories.

Understanding the parts and basic functions of digital SLR cameras

2010-12-06T17:05:00.000-08:00

If you just started photography hobby, whether compact size camera, DSLR camera or camera Micro Four Third (MFT) then we need to know some of the parts of and terms that applied on the camera that we use.

If we understand the part and the term of our camera, we will be much easier to use our camera, both to create landscape picture, portraits, wedding, indoor photo, or when we capture musical performances, birthday party, documentation for family or office. Even for those of you who are serious about selling stock photos online on the Internet.

On this occasion we start with an explanation of the part of the DSLR camera, but there are some of the same parts in other types of cameras.

    * DSLR is a digital single lens reflex, which is a camera with a digital system (using the processor, chip, memory, and technological sophistication in capturing the image) which uses a single lens mounted on the camera body. Reflex mirror inside the camera will go up when you press the shutter button and at the time the image sensor in the camera will record an image.

    * Eyepiece = holder to our eyes when look into the viewfinder.

    * Viewfinder (viewfinder) = viewfinders pentaprism method (pentagon shape) is placed over the optical path through the lens onto the image sensor plate. Incoming light then reflected upward by mirror (mirror reflection) and about pentaprism. Pentaprism then reflect light several times through the viewfinder (viewfinder). When the shutter button is released, the glass opens the way for the light so that light can directly on the image sensor.

    * Image sensors (sensors capture images) = a sensor that is used to process and capture an image contained within a camera. Size there are a variety of sensors, i.e. APS-C sized 15x23mm, 19x29mm APS-H size, and FULL-FRAME 24x36mm (equal to the large size of the movie).

    * Flash = flash is usually used to help us in taking pictures in the dark.

    * Hotshoe (flash external holder) = a holder for an external flash that is usually located in the middle of the camera body.

    * Lens (lens) = a lens mount that is embedded in the camera body (lens body can be removed and replaced) that serves to light up focus capable captured by the image sensor. On the outside of the lens usually there are three rings, namely ring focal length (for variable type lenses), aperture ring and focus ring.

There are 5 characters that lens, wide (wide), macro (enlarge), telephoto (zoom), tilt & shift and fish eye. And there are 2 types of lens fix (can not be changed such as, 50mm) and zoom (range like, 17-85mm). Lens will also have features is (image stabilizer) to reduce vibration from hand and USM (ultrasonic motor) to accelerate and quiet in the search focusing. * IS USM code DSLR canon camera types? These features in any other DSLR camera lens are also available, but the code name of the other but with the same functionality.

    * Lens hood = an extra on the lens to reduce excess light, the impact of flares and a protective front surface of the lens, and also as an addition to the display lens to look more frightening. * Remember: the use of hood that does not comply with a series of lenses will cause vignetting (vignetting = black spots on the sides of the tip of the picture).

    * LCD monitor (LCD display) = to see the image and monitor modes that we use to take pictures.

    * Focus points = if you look into the viewfinder, then you will see a small dots scattered (the number of points depending on the type and model of camera), at which point the focus is to help you find focus images would be taken.

Hopefully you can be successful to become an amateur photographer with professional results. Or you just want to make photography as a hobby only. Whatever your choice, then you needs to understand more detail a camera that you use, so you can use your camera to create beautiful images.

Superzoom Camera

2010-08-29T20:46:00.000-07:00

Do you have a special plan to travel around the world? Obviously the most important piece of equipment for any type of photography is the camera. When it comes to wildlife photography, holiday photography and especially safari photography, there are some features that you should look out for when choosing the best digital camera for this purpose.

Deciding whether to choose a digital SLR camera (DSLR) or go for a compact superzoom camera for wildlife photography can be tricky. Both have advantages and a disadvantage over each other, knowing these can help you decide which is best suits your needs.

There are many type and brands of DSLR or compact superzoom camera in the market. One of them is Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100. With a super powerful 24x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent 600mm), much higher 14.1 MP image resolution, rotating LCD screen, movie recording in full HD and a 25mm ultra wide angle lens, this is the best superzoom compact digital camera on the market and an ideal safari holiday companion.

The newly developed LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens in the DMC-FZ100 further extends its optical zoom range from 27mm to 25mm at wide end and the zoom power from 18 xs to 24 xs to be even more powerful and versatile compared with the DMC-FZ38. The 24x optical zoom is now equivalent to 600mm on a 35mm camera. Another excellent feature of the Panasonic FZ100 and is a big reason why as a safari camera it is ideal is that not only does it take great photos, but it can also record full-HD movies. As well as the standard Motion JPEG images, the Lumix DMC-FZ100 can record high-resolution full-HD 1920x1080 60i movies in AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) format. Full-HD (1920 x 1080) movies are recorded at 60i. HD (1280 x 720) movies are output and recorded by the image sensor at 60p.

If you are looking for a cheaper option I highly recommend looking at the Panasonic FZ45 (FZ40) that has many of the features of the FZ100, including the 24x zoom, yet is about £100 / $100 cheaper. So, are you ready to fly to safari or paradise?

Nokia E72 VS BlackBerry Onyx

2010-02-01T03:30:00.000-08:00

Nokia is always attracting million of people around the world. BlackBerry also becomes a great competitor to Nokia and other big brand in the world. Let’s compare Nokia E72 and BlackBerry Onyx.

BlackBerry Bold 9700 is a Bold second generation, which was called Bold Onyx, while Nokia E72 is a new member of the Nokia E series. Recognized or not, the price is one important thing in comparing the same two-enabled products. At some level, even the price becomes the most sensitive in determining the choice.

On the material side, both equal where Bold Onyx using skin effect in the back which gave the impression exclusive, while the E72 remains with the back cover made from metal which suggests glamorous and strong. As for the display, Nokia has a higher bitrasi ie 24 bits or 16.7 million colors. Compare with Bold Onyx is only 16 bit or 65,536 colours only. But in everyday use colour depth is not much effect. That resolution and the diagonal which will become the foundation. In this case Onyx is superior.

With a higher resolution screen, Onyx capable of displaying images and video more clearly. Includes menu icons and text displayed on the screen. Clearly not mean much. But with writing and a clearer picture, the user's eyes quickly become tired.

The nature of the BlackBerry device is always kept in the application of internal memory is a bit troublesome. And, the size of 256 MB is not large enough size for this purpose. Lucky newer OS that is used in the 9700 Bold able to separate some parts to the application are stored in additional memory automatically.

Meanwhile, the use of Lithium Polymer, on the Nokia is a step in the right, given the type of Polymer famous 'durable' for heavy tasks. Although the equivalent capacity, battery E72 is better able to survive.

Nokia ahead in the camera and music format support. Conversely, the Blackberry is superior video support, with a good screen resolution, Bold 9700 can display them better.

Interface
On the material side, both equal, where Bold Onyx using skin effect in the rear of an exclusive impression while remaining faithful to the Nokia E72 made from metal back cover which suggests glamorous and strong. As for the screen, Nokia chose higher bitrasi i.e. 16.7, aka 24-bit colour, too. Compare with Bold Onyx is only 16 bit alias only 65,536 colours. But in everyday use colour depth is not much effect. That resolution and diagonal that will become the foundation. In this case is superior Onyx.

With a higher resolution screen, Blackberry Onyx capable of displaying images and video more clearly. Including the menu icons and text displayed on the screen. Certainly does not mean much. But with writing and a clearer picture, the user’s eyes do not tire quickly.

Connectivity
Some say the GPRS connection on the BlackBerry device can be faster than 3G on other phones. Connection via BIS is more stable and sometimes it still feels better than the type of connection through a faster modem in another phone. Moreover, HSDPA connections at the service provided has not reached the maximum number. But that’s no reason not to put the Nokia E72 excellence in data access facilities. On the other hand, these two have a Wi-Fi phone with equal ability. Bold 9700 we bought the Bold is released by T-Mobile. While Nokia brings Nokia VoIP v3.0 with the protocol that allows us to make phone calls to other VoIP phone numbers. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi calling feature on both phones cannot be executed without a server made specifically for this service.

Hardware
The nature of the BlackBerry device is always kept in the application of internal memory quite troublesome. 256 MB and the size is not large enough size for this purpose. Lucky new OS that is used in the 9700 Bold able to separate some parts to the application are stored in additional memory automatically. Meanwhile, the use of Lithium Polymer Nokia is a step in the right given the well-known type of Polymer resistant to heavy tasks. Although the equivalent capacity, the battery E72 is better able to survive.

Multimedia
Nokia ahead in the camera and music format support. On the other hand is superior to BlackBerry video support. With a screen resolution the better, Bold 9700 has been able to show them better.

Don’t confuse. Get them all.

The First Digital Camera with Projection

2009-12-13T16:26:00.000-08:00

For the first time in the world.
The Amazing Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

Introducing the unique Nikon Coolpix S1000pj, the world’s first and currently the only digital camera with a built-in projector. It is a handsome ultra compact digital camera that easily slips into a Jeans pocket or a small fashion purse. Packing the pleasure of a personal go-anywhere theater into a stylish compact enclosure, the COOLPIX S1000pj delivers a fun new way to share pictures with friends and family in most any location. Handling is good and the controls and menu are intuitive to use. It produces average to good image quality. Besides its unique projector, the Coolpix S1000pj has the usual digital camera affair:

• A variety of slideshow effects enhance the fun of the built-in projector
• Five advanced image stabilizing features include ISO 6400, Lens shift VR image stabilization, Electronic VR image stabilization, Motion Detection, and Best Shot Selector
• 12.1 effective megapixels for high-resolution images
• 5x zoom NIKKOR lens
• 2.7-in. high-resolution LCD monitor
• Smart Portrait System with Skin Softening
• Scene Auto Selector provides quick, carefree picture-taking in a variety of situations
• Subject Tracking for automatic tracking
• Quick Retouch for the best balance of contrast and saturation
• D-Lighting adds detail and optimizes exposure to rescue underexposed images
The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj comes with a paltry 36 MB of built-in memory. Unless you usually don’t take more than 10 pictures in a single outing, you would want to use a memory card with the camera. The Coolpix S1000pj takes SD/SDHC cards and a good place to start would be around 2 to 4 GB. As with many of Nikon’s past Coolpix models, I didn’t notice a sizable speed boost when using a ‘high-speed’ card with the camera so if you like, opt to save a few bucks by getting a ‘standard’ card.

The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is one of the larger cameras in its class thanks to the additional projector component. Thankfully, it’s still small enough to fit into most pockets (though you will certainly feel the presence of the camera). The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj comes with an above average bundle, which includes two things you typically won’t find in your typical digital camera box: a projector stand and wireless remote control.

Nikon S1000pj User Profile • Desire a 12MP resolution digital camera with average to good image quality. • Want Image Stabilization to prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake. • Want an easy-to-use point-and-shoot digital camera. • Desire a bit more exposure control when facing challenging lighting situations. • Want a compact, carry-anywhere elegant camera. • Want the fun factor of a built-in projector!

The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is well designed and intuitive to operate so anyone can use it. The beginner will appreciate the point-and-shoot ease of use as well as the practical features that help obtain well-exposed pictures in challenging situations.

BlackBerry Onyx

2009-12-05T17:49:00.000-08:00

Are you happy with your current BlackBerry? Is Barack Obama happy with his old BlackBerry? Will he buy a new BlackBerry Bold 9700 (Onyx)?

There is a new BlackBerry for you. BlackBerry Onyx is similar to the BlackBerry Tour 9630, when you first look at the BlackBerry Onyx you're just not quite sure what you're looking at. The close-together keys with ‘guitar fret' separators scream Bold, yet the overall form factor is much more like the BlackBerry Curve 8900. That's part of the reason it seems weird that the Onyx would be a 9600 device.

In terms of the device's overall dimensions and shape and feel in the hand, it's actually closer to the Curve 8900 than it is to the 9630. Like the Curve 8520, it features a little bit more rubber than were used to seeing, but the rubbery buttons give off a quality feel. And then when you pop off the Onyx's battery cover and see the Bold's battery, the confusion increases even more. With the BlackBerry Onyx it's like RIM simply grabbed the best DNA from each device and tossed it together to make a super baby, which in this case is not a bad thing.

The overall look and feel of the Onyx is slick. I assume the gun metal grey metallic band around the device is actually plastic, but it gives off a more metal-like feel than the silver chrome on the Curve 8900 or 9630 or Bold. The Onyx feels very thin too. While it's overall thickness appears to be the same as the 8900, on the Onyx RIM has made the sides of the device a little less thick and instead of having the display be flush (even slightly lower) than the side rails, with the Onyx the display's edges are bevelled down towards the side rails. It's hard to explain, but overall the device simply feels thin. The Onyx's footprint is much smaller than the Bold's and is even smaller than the 9630.

Specification:

• 3G device - GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS (Bands: 850, 900, 1800, 1900)
• 480 by 360 display, bevelled edges
• 256 megabytes of internal memory (same as Curve 8900, 8520)
• 1550mAh M-S1 battery (same as Bold)
• 3.2 megapixel camera, with flash and auto focus
• Processor: Not 100% sure actually, but am hearing it’s a Tavor processor that may be running even a bit quicker than the Bold's 624MHz processor (definitely seems snappy)
• GPS, WiFi (UMA capable but we'll see what happens there), and all the normal stuff you'd expect on a BlackBerry smartphone

The Onyx reviewed has a trackball, but it is possible that by the time it goes into production that it may feature the optical trackpad found on the Curve 8520. But even with the trackball, the navigation is all good.

There's a little CrackBerry history behind the name BlackBerry "Onyx" that I just had to throw in here for our newer readers who may not be fully aware. Back in April 2008, before the official release of the BlackBerry Bold, the blogosphere referred to the device by its model number, 9000. We knew the BlackBerry 9000 would have to get a brand name, so at that time we held a CrackBerry contest to guess the name of BlackBerry 9000. A short time after, RIM announced the 9000 as the BlackBerry Bold, a name which none of our contestants had guessed. However, we went through the hundreds of names suggested and picked our favourite and gave them a prize anways. And the name we picked as the winner was..... The BlackBerry Onyx!

The good: The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 boasts a sleeker design that includes an optical trackpad, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a brilliant display. The smartphone is 3G capable and offers Wi-Fi with UMA support, Bluetooth, and GPS. It also gets a faster processor and updates to BlackBerry OS 5.0.

The bad: The BlackBerry browser doesn't compare to the competition. The handset's compact size results in a smaller display and keyboard, but they aren't deal-breakers.

The bottom line: The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 brings T-Mobile its first 3G BlackBerry and improves on its predecessor with a sleeker design and more power. We only wish it had a better browser to complete the package.

Do you really need to replace your old BlackBerry or you Nokia N Series with this unique Onyx? Don’t forget to see other PDA or smartphone reviews such as: Sony Xperia, Samsung, Motorolla, Nokia N97 Mini, LG, Acer, iPhone and other great brand in cellular phone industry.

Breaking News: 3D Camera

2009-10-17T20:50:00.000-07:00

Do you want to replace your digital camera with FujiFilm W1? You can try a brand new 3D Digital Camera? FujiFilm develops a 3D camera that shoots two images and combines them into one. The company's system, called Real 3D, hopes to eliminate the need for glasses by using 3D displays and a 3D film that can be layered over prints.

After a series of development notices, the Fuji 3D system is now getting solidified with actual product announcements, the Fuji 3D W1 camera and the Fuji V1 3D frame! This is a system that is of interest or at least piques the curiosity of photographers and gadgetologists alike. So let's see what Fuji has cooked up for us...

Fujifilm W1 Specs:
- 10.0 million pixels
- 1/2.3-inch CCD x2 sensor
- MPO+JPEG, MPO (Multi Picture Format compatible)
- 3D-AVI (Stereo AVI format with 2 image channels)
- 2D AVI format (Motion JPEG with sound)
- Auto / Equivalent to 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 (Standard Output Sensitivity)
- Internal memory (Approx. 42MB) and SD/SDHC Memory Card.

This sleek-looking camera has two 10mp 1/2.3" CCD sensors and two 3X optical zoom lenses (35-105mm). We have to give Fuji credit for showing megapixel-restraint here. Now, the lenses may not be much in terms of zoom ratio when compared to traditional cameras, but building and synchronizing two lenses on 3D is no easy task!
The camera can take both 3D images and 3D movies.

In addition to the 3D features which are the existential raisin (rough translation of "raison d’être") of this camera, we applaud Fuji for taking advantage of this configuration to offer traditional (2D) photography some additional features, what Fuji calls Advanced 2D mode. This has different settings, for example, "Tele+Wide" allows you to take the same picture at different lens focal ranges. Also, the "color mode" allow you to record the same scene with different "tonalities", such as fujichrome or standard. You can also adjust the "sensitivity" settings between the two sub-systems. The press release barely scratches the surface, so we may have to wait for the user-manual or detailed previews/reviews to find out more about these!

Do you want to replace your gadgets?

2009-10-13T18:14:00.000-07:00

Which way are mobile phone games heading?

2009-10-06T04:32:00.000-07:00

Aside online games and static game devices like Playstation, mobile games are the next most popular games around now.

The popularity has grown so big that mobile operators are competing against each other by offering their subscribers loads of both free and paid games for their pleasure. Not only mobile operators, cell phone manufacturers are also pre-programming their phones with a variety of games.

The growing interest in mobile gaming is producing a lot of benefits for the mobile industry. The operators are deriving sizable revenue from selling these games, software developers are regularly deriving royalties from phone manufacturers and the manufacturers themselves are cashing in heavily on revenue from subscribers. You will appreciate the level of income in this are if you consider the fact that by the year 2009, there would be 220 million mobile phone game fans in the world.

Now lets delve into the kinds of games we have around:
We have the embedded games that are factory coded into the phones, SMS games that operate by interacting with a SMS server upon which the game resides and browser games that are played online using the cell phones mini browser. Of all these games the cheapest and most popular is the inbuilt ones though the excitement offered by SMS and online games are not a deterrent to people who would spend every dime to get hooked on. The reason is browser games are of multi-media origin and can be compared to the type experienced on Playstation or xbox.

There are several ways to develop mobile games though the most popular language used are C++, Java and Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) platform .
Out of these three, Java is the most popular method. The reason is obvious – java is widely supported by the web and supported by all the principal phone manufacturers. Again a medium like J2ME is open source and thus cheap to use as a development medium.
Java as we know it is highly portable across platforms and leaves developers with little worry that their program will not work on certain phones. Programmers choose this language platform because it does not interfere with programs running natively on the phone.

But in reality the future of mobile game development is in MIDP 2.0 API which is a compilation of high end applications that allow developers to come up with sophiscated and highly interactive games for fans. It is fast to use and ensures a stable program after compilation.

It is projected that this program, though futuristic, shall be the standard for mobile game developers for a long time as it exhibits versatility and the quick deployment – qualities programmer love.

Three Super Camera

2009-07-07T01:45:00.001-07:00

The Pentax X70 digital camera is not a digital SLR model. It might look and feel like a digital SLR, and it might carry a few high-end features, but it's not a digital SLR. Pentax calls the X70 a "megazoom" model, and it's tough to argue with that
designation, thanks to this digital camera's 24X optical zoom lens, equivalent to a 26-624mm lens. With 12.0 megapixels, the X70 has plenty of resolution for most photographers.

It is larger than most point-and-shoot models currently on the market, but the X70 remains easy to use. The X70 doesn't carry the manual-control features and interchangeable lenses that you'll find on digital SLRs.

Please take a closer look to Nikon CoolPix P6000. 13.5 Megapixels for stunning prints as large as 20 x 30 inches. Sharp resolution captures the finest details, crop creatively and produce incredible enlargements. Incredible, Bright 2.7-inch High Resolution LCD and Optical Viewfinder makes it easy to compose and share your pictures with friends and family. The incorporation of the optical viewfinder enables you to see through the lens in any type of lighting condition.

This Coolpix P6000 also equipped with New GPS capability. This GPS capability wills automatically geo-tag your photos with the exact location of where you shot that picture. Upload pictures directly to my Picturetown, then conduct searches based on the location of where your pictures were taken. You can also view them all at once. A great way to have instant organization of your photos! Plus High Quality TV Movies with Sound is now just a press of a button away with your COOLPIX. Record TV-quality movies with sound; duration is limited only by the available space on your SD/SDHC card. Connect your camera to your TV and you have instant home-movies!

Confused? You can compare Pentax X70 and Nikon Coolpix P6000 with Canon G10. Advanced amateur photographers are a discerning group, and they've flocked to Canon's G-Series for its ability to meet and exceed their demands. The third-generation PowerShot G10 is a stunning successor, loaded with uncompromising specs like 14.7 megapixels, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and Canon's new DIGIC 4 Image Processor for notably improved face and motion detection. This is a camera that supports and nurtures creativity, with a full range of shooting and recording modes and compatibility with exciting accessories including Speedlite flashes. Wow... I am confused too.

iPhone 3GS VS LG enV Touch

The iPhone 3G S doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3G S is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

With a built-in digital compass, iPhone 3GS can point the way. Use the new Compass app, or watch as it automatically reorients maps to match the direction you’re facing.

Now you can shoot video, edit it, and share it — all on your iPhone 3GS. Shoot high-quality VGA video in portrait or landscape. Trim your footage by adjusting start and end points. Then share your video in an email, post it to your MobileMe gallery, publish it on YouTube, or sync it back to your Mac or PC using iTunes.

The new 3-megapixel camera takes great still photos, too, thanks to built-in autofocus and a handy new feature that lets you tap the display to focus on anything (or anyone) you want. Voice Control recognizes the names in your Contacts and knows the music on your iPod. So if you want to place a call or play a song, all you have to do is ask.

Do you think that iPhone 3GS a real Blackberry Tour and Nokia N97 contender? Wow.... You must consider other great smart phone such as: The LG enV Touch.

The LG enV Touch is no ordinary messaging phone from Verizon Wireless. It has a brilliant touch-screen display on the outside, a similarly stunning display on the inside, and a spacious QWERTY keyboard that's easy to use. Its features aren't too shabby either, with a great 3.2-megapixel camera, a full HTML Web browser, lots of messaging features including corporate email, and it has the speed of EV-DO Rev. A. Despite a few minor gripes, it's still one of the top Verizon Wireless phones we've seen so far.

Wow....

HTC Touch Pro VS Nokia N97

2009-05-28T00:24:00.000-07:00

HTC and Nokia are both known for their excellent quality mobile phones, which not only charm users with their look, but also deliver high-end performance. So when you have 2 similar mobile phones, from either of the cell phone making giants, you will have a tough time deciding which one is better. The Nokia N97 Mobile Phone and the HTC Touch Pro Mobile Phone are just the best contenders to make for interesting comparison.

Taking a look at the display first, Nokia N97 phone has a 3.5″ touch sensitive screen which offers a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. HTC Touch Pro phone has a smaller 2.8″ screen which is touch sensitive as well. The latter however, offers a higher display resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.

The form factors of both phones are quite similar. They are both slider phones, which slide open to reveal QWERTY keyboards. However, there is a difference. The Nokia model, slides out and upward, such that the screen panel is at an angle to the keyboard panel. This device also has a navigation pad on the keyboard panel and Send, End and Home keys on the screen panel. On the other hand, the HTC model just slides horizontally. There are dedicated keys for Send, End call, Back and Home on the screen panel itself. A navigation pad is present on the screen panel too.
Throwing a glance at the operating systems of these smartphones, Nokia N97 features the Symbian 60 5th Edition OS, while HTC Touch Pro ships with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system.

The networking abilities of these cell phones are quite similar. They both support WiFi networking and Bluetooth connectivity. 3G networking technology is also supported by either of them, with WCDMA standard being compatible. Quad band GSM, GPRS and EDGE capabilities are offered by both the devices too. Nokia offers access to some native services like the Nokia Music Store and Ovi Service. This Ovi feature allows users to get access to a variety of information, including maps, songs, games and more. Another feature called the Social Location feature, lets the user automatically update and let friends, family and other social networks know their location, with the help of the A-GPS receiver and compass housed in this device. The HTC phone incorporates a GPS antenna as well, which uses pre-loaded maps and gives turn-by-turn direction to the destination.

An interesting difference between the cell phones lies in their memory capacities. The HTC Touch Pro phone offers a user memory of 288MB internally. On the other hand the Nokia N97 phone has a humongous (hold your breath) 32GB of internal memory! Either phones have memory expansion options with the microSD card reader slots.
Connections wise, both these smartphones score high. The HTC Touch Pro phone offers a HTC ExtUSB connection which acts as a 3-in-1 link for a mini USB 2.0 port, a audio jack and a TV output. There are built-in microphone and speaker too. The Nokia N97 phone features a microUSB jack, a 3.5 mm audio jack also used for TV output, and built-in stereo speakers. FM radios have been integrated in both phones.
Another striking difference are the cameras that these devices offer. The Nokia phone has a built-in 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash. The HTC phone, on the other hand has a 3.2 Megapixel camera, with auto-focus and flash. There is a secondary VGA CMOS camera as well in this device.

On the measurements and weight front - the Nokia N97 Smartphone measures 117.2 mm x
55.3 mm x 15.9 mm and weighs 150g. The HTC Touch Pro Smartphone measures 102 mm x 51 mm x 18.05 mm and weighs 165g. Thus, the Nokia handset is longer, wider, thinner and lighter than the HTC handset. Price wise, however, Nokia N97 carries a slightly heavier tag than the HTC Touch Pro.

PS: Don't forget to compare with other brand such as: Samsung Omnia, LG Renoir, iPhone, Blackberry Storm or sony ericsson xperia x1, etc.

Panasonic Lumix TS1 Features

2009-04-25T05:18:00.000-07:00

Do you want to replace your old digital camera?
If yes, you should consider Panasonic TS1.

There's no optical viewfinder, with the Panasonic TS1 instead opting solely for a 2.7-inch LCD display with 230,000 dot resolution. The Panasonic TS1's lens has a maximum aperture that varies from f/3.3 to f/5.9 across the zoom range. The minimum focusing distance for the Panasonic DMC-TS1 is ordinarily 30 centimeters, but drops to just five centimeters when switched to Macro mode. That rugged body is one of the biggest selling points, though, capable of surviving some pretty harsh usage. The Panasonic DMC-TS1 is capable of surviving repeated drops from 1.5 meters onto five centimeter thick plywood with no more than cosmetic damage, and is rated waterproof and dustproof to the IP58 standard, meaning that it can be used three meters underwater for sixty minutes at a time. Note, though, that to maintain this level of waterproofing, Panasonic recommends annual replacement of the camera's seals, a service that must be paid for. Note: This camera great for vacation.

The Panasonic DMC-TS1 has an 11-point multi-area autofocus system which also includes a single-point "high speed" focusing mode. As with many digital cameras these days, there's also a face detection function, with Panasonic's implementation using the information to adjust both focus and exposure to properly capture your subjects' faces. Panasonic has gone a step further by enabling the Lumix DMC-TS1 to recognize specific individuals' faces, and prioritize these over other detected photos when capturing photos, or search for photos containing a specific face in Playback mode.

The Panasonic Lumix TS1 also has an implementation of autofocus tracking, which can monitor a subject as it moves around the frame, continuing to update autofocus as required. Panasonic's AF tracking is linked to the face detection system, allowing the camera to continue tracking a face even if it briefly turns to a side profile (although it should be noted that the face detection system does require the subject be looking toward the camera to achieve its initial detection).

Note:
1. Panasonic Lumix Lumix TS1 camera is available in April in silver, green, or orange models and will also feature many of Panasonic's Intelligent Auto (iA) operations that automatically adjust things like ISO, contrast, focus, and exposure. Plus, it'll have the company's latest iA feature, face recognition, which "remembers" faces from previous shots so it can prioritize focus and exposure for them when in frame. The iA features are now available in both still and movie modes.

2. 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 4.6x optical zoom
A retracting lens with folding optics is used in this 4.6x zoom lens system, which lets you take shots from the 28mm wide-angle to 129mm telephoto. This gives you the flexibility for virtually any shooting situation - even underwater shots, where the angle of view is naturally narrowed, or when you just want to fill the frame with your subject.

3. iA mode - shooting incredible photos and motion images has never been easier
Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does the rest for you. It automatically sets the optimal mode for the shooting situation, and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems. It also activates the new Face Recognition function, which finds familiar faces in a group of people and captures them in a clear focus and with proper exposure.

PS: Don't forget to compare with other brand such as: Sony CyberShot, Kodak, Canon, Nikon CoolPix, Samsung, Casio, and other famous digital camera.

Blu-ray hopes for a green season

2009-04-21T18:04:00.000-07:00

Player prices drop dramatically, but the technology isn't for everyone

Will it be a blue season for Blu-ray? Retailers and movie studios aren’t sure yet, even though prices on some players are expected to plummet from several hundred

dollars to as low as $125 to $150 on Black Friday, and perhaps stay at bargain levels during the holiday season.

Even before the economic downturn, consumers weren’t flocking to buy Blu-ray. The price drops on some models may help. But at a time of scrimping for many, Blu-ray is not a must-have.

You’ll get the most benefit from a Blu-ray player if you have a high-definition TV. Blu-ray will give you dynamic sound and vibrant video, taking advantage of your television’s capabilities. However, not everyone who has high-definition TV is opting for Blu-ray so far. And, if you’re sticking with a standard-definition TV, or are happy with the quality you have from your existing DVD player, and are not an obsessive videophile, you may not feel compelled to buy a player this year.

Movie streaming starting to appeal
The notion of streaming movies or videos from the Internet onto devices — be they Blu-ray players, game consoles, computers or DVD recorders — is starting to take off.

LG Electronics recently released its BD300 Network Blu-ray Disc Player, which streams movie and TV episodes from Netflix at no extra charge. You have to be a Netflix subscriber in order to use the service, and there’s a $1 a month Netflix add-on charge for unlimited access to Blu-ray movies.

The player itself retails for around $400, but can be found online for about $300.
PS: Don’t forget to compare with other brand such as Sony, Panasonic, etc.

Canon EOS 50D

2009-03-19T17:06:00.000-07:00

The 15-megapixel EOS 50D is Canon's newest mid-range SLR. Available for $1399 for the body alone, or packaged with a variety of kit lenses, it's the successor to 2007's 40D. After putting the 50D through a rigorous body of tests (undertaken using the 28-135mm lens, part of a $1600 kit set), we came out with an impression of it being a solid, dependable camera, but without any amazing new features. The improved Live View functionality is a pleasant addition, as is the new, 920,000 pixel LCD screen, and the bump up to 15 megapixels. However, the 50D didn't blow us away in any of our tests, instead maintaining a universally average result. The 50D showed itself to be a solid, incremental upgrade in the mid-level Canon cameras.

The image quality is exceptionally fine, as we expect from this line of cameras. Skin tones are natural and colours are accurate. The long zoom lens works better than expected, focussing smartly at all focal lengths but with some distortion at the extremes. Contrast and sharpness are good. Wow..., however... It's good idea if you compare with other brand such as Nikon D70 DSL camera or Olympus E-3 DSLR camera.
Happy hunting.

Nokia E 55

2009-03-15T03:45:00.000-07:00

In today’s climate, the costs and benefits of technology are under closer scrutiny and email is an essential driver of efficiency and productivity. The Nokia E55, announced at MWC has been targeted to the business users, and has built on the success of the E71. The obvious inheritance is in the slimness of the device with the E55 managing to slim down to only 9.9 mm thick (so the designers met the sub 10mm target I presume they were given). The battery life on the E55 is incredibly high, with up to 28 days of standby time or 8 hours talk time available on the GSM version.

Added to the Nokia Messaging service, Nokia E55 come with full Nokia Maps and assisted GPS with integrated 3-month license for turn-by-turn navigation, and a great gaming experience with N-Gage on board. With Ovi Files, also included on the Nokia E55, important files stored on a PC can be remotely managed and shared, even when your PC is switched off.

Key Software Features of the Nokia E55

* Predictive engine that suggests word completions, error corrections and automatically learns new words.
* Full Email, Calendar and Contacts experience.
* Multiple business and personal Email accounts in a single device with enhanced UI.
* Improved company name search, remote company directory lookup, create and receive meeting requests.
* Superior voice quality with noise cancellation.

Are you ready to work and have fun with Nokia E55?
The Nokia E55 is a bold device. For all the talk of of growing out of the E71 and customer feedback it is taking a number of risks in the design (such as the keyboard), while at the same time exploring new areas such as encryption and mobile VPN access. I think it could do very well, but all that depends on just how good the predictive software technology works in practice.

Protect Yourself from Cell Phone Bugs

2009-02-10T16:23:00.000-08:00

By: Kingston Amadan

Do you have conversations over the phone that you do not want others to hear? If so, then it may be necessary to protect yourself from cell phone bugs. Cell phone bugs are just as high tech as many other bugs, and can pose even more of a threat, since they are harder to detect. Depending on the bug that is used to listen to your conversation, you might not even realize that someone nearby can hear every word crystal clear.

Even if most of your conversations are of little importance, it is a good idea to make sure that you are well protected against cell phone bugs when you make a vital phone call. It is possible to decrease your chances of being listened to if you follow a few simple steps to avoid eavesdroppers.

Go somewhere where you know you’ll be alone. Some cell phone bugs intercept signals being sent. A person who looks like she or he is speaking on a cell phone has a special device that allows him or her to hear what you are saying on the phone. Additionally, make sure you are in a place where you can watch for newcomers.

Beware the charging or forgotten phone. Many cell phone bugs look just like they are charging or like their owner forgot them. If see a cell phone charging or lying nearby unattended, go someplace else. Someone may be listening in via the innocent looking phone.

Don’t accept new cell phones as gifts.

The latest in cell phone bugs is a phone that works like a regular phone, but has a secret access number. If someone gives you a cell phone as a gift, be aware that he or she may be able to dial the phone and not only listen to what you saying while you are on the phone, but activate the cell phone’s microphone in order to hear anything that is going on inside the room.

With a little vigilance, you can avoid eavesdroppers through cell phone bugs. Best of all, if you use ingenuity you can “plant” false information for eager ears. You can outsmart surveillance and the use of cell phone bugs.

HDTV

2009-02-07T22:04:00.000-08:00

By: Alan Rhinehart

Have you ever watched a movie on a regular TV set, and then watched the same movie on an HDTV? If so, you would have noticed a huge difference! On the HDTV viewing, you see and notice things you've never seen before, even if you've seen the same movie several times! The colors are brighter, backgrounds are clearer, and details are better defined. HDTV is like looking out an open window, whereas in comparison, standard TV is almost like looking through a glass soda bottle. Because of CRT (cathode ray tube) technology, TV is often referred to as "the tube". After watching HDTV, watching standard TV is almost like trying to view through one!

HDTV, or High Definition Television, offers precision sound, original film quality picture resolution, and a wider, better detailed panoramic view. This is made possible by the use of true digital signal which is transmitted via satellite or cable directly to your unit. You'll notice that not only does HDTV offer extraordinary picture clarity and sound, but the scope of the picture just like watching a movie on the "big screen", inside a real movie theater!

The use of digital signal is what separates HDTV from your common television set. The reason why there is such a notable difference between the two is that conventional televisions operate on analog signal. Digital signals are much faster, meaning images are is refreshed more rapidly, therefore providing superb picture resolution. Analog signals are much slower. As a result, the images produced by a television using this type of signal are of low resolution. Simply put, the picture is just not as sharp and view is restricted.

Not only do HDTV's offer superb picture quality, but HD sound is second to none. This is because Dolby Digital surround sound comes standard with HDTV. So, not only does watching an HDTV remind you of a movie theater, it also has the sound system to further enhance the experience.

Along with better quality picture and sound, HDTV's are quite easily integrated with your computer. They are able to easily communicate directly with one another through the use of a type of data compression software such as MPEG-2. Once this software is successfully installed, a whole new world of multimedia technology is literally at your fingertips! For instance, CD-R applications can be transmitted to an HDTV, as well as HDTV programs can be downloaded onto your computer. Either way, the picture resolution is top notch and the signal is stable.

Lastly, HDTV's are more affordable than one might assume. There are many different ways to buy or finance an HDTV system. Some companies offer money-saving offers both in-store and online. Some of these include rebate programs; others include special deals, extra gifts or incentive packages offering items such as hundreds of dollars in gift cards. There are both in-store and online promotions as well as savings with shipping and delivery. Bottom line, HDTV is affordable for almost any budget and well worth every penny!

Digital World in Photography

2009-02-01T04:51:00.000-08:00

Where are you going today? Are you going alone or together with your friends or family? Don’t forget to bring your camera. Don’t leave home without your camera. A lot of unique thing happen in the street. You can capture anything with your camera.
What is your camera? Do you still have your grandfather’s camera? Many people still use SLR (single lens reflection) cameras. SLR camera is great because you can create photography art. A professional photographer will use both digital and analog camera.

If you go to the city and enter the camera shops, there are not many conventional cameras available now. Most people are preferred to use a compact digital camera. A digital camera is slim, full with features and easy to use. You don’t have to bring a big size camera and film wherever you want to take some pictures.

When you need to buy a digital camera you must think about the price, brand, features, picture quality, mega pixel, services and guarantee, etc. You can choose many brands such as Kodak, Canon, Pentax, Panasonic, Leica, Casio, Nikon, Samsung, Sony, and other brand. A digital camera starts from 4 mega pixels and above 10 mega pixels. You can get a good quality picture from 6.1 or more mega pixel resolutions. Don’t buy a digital camera below the 5 mega pixels because the picture quality is not so good when you print your photo, especially when you want to print in a larger size.

Before you make a decision please consider the feature of the camera. Don’t forget to check the brochure and browse the information in the Internet. Make sure that the lenses size, zoom, and flash light, battery life, etc. fits your needs. Ask the shop owner about bonus if you choose a particular brand. Sometime they give some bonuses such as external memory or soft case. Most digital camera also include video capture capability, but make sure that you can make a video or movie with sound or audio. Video without audio is not complete. It’s a great idea if you purchase a digital camera in a promotion season. Digital cameras are now available for both professional photographers and amateur enthusiasts. A professional digital camera (DSLR) is expensive and the size it’s bigger than the compact size digital camera.

Digital cameras aim at amateur photographers’ market. They function as much as point-and-shoot cameras do, with automatic focus, face detection, smart capture, anti shake, automatic exposure, and built-in electronic flash. Pictures from these cameras contain fewer pixels than those from a more expensive camera and are therefore not as sharp. After taking pictures, the user can connect the camera directly to a television set or video cassette recorder, so the whole family can look at snapshots together. We are lucky because we live in a digital world, because image files can be transferred to a home computer, stored on disks, or sent to friends via electronic mail.

New Smartphone

2009-01-29T03:47:00.000-08:00

Are you happy with your cellular phone? Do you want to replace it with a brand new Smartphone? Before you buy a new Smartphone or PDA you can compare The Samsung Omnia™, LG Incite and HTC Touch Pro™. Smartphone is not just Blackberry.

It offers the best in features and functionality—all accessed through a full-sized, customizable touch display with drag-and-drop widgets. Loaded with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and a full HTML web browser, the Samsung Omnia also includes a 5-megapixel camera and a music player with FM radio—and it’s all wrapped up in a sleek package.

The sleek and stylish LG Incite, powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, is a Smartphone powerful enough to manage your busy life. Equipped with the latest business solutions—including Microsoft Office Mobile, OneNote Mobile, and Microsoft Voice Command—the Incite offers 3G support and has a virtual QWERTY keyboard and a 3.0 megapixel camera and camcorder with panoramic ability.

You can choose another famous brand such as Nokia series, Motorola, and other international brand.

Audio for cars

2009-01-20T17:29:00.000-08:00

Do you really need to change your audio system in your car?

Most car owner always loves to change their original audio system in their car. Some of them still keep the original CD/FM system, but they replace the speakers and add with new subwoofer.

There are a number of factory audio systems that have good sound but didn't quite make the grade to be considered among the best. These include a few sports cars with great audio gear. However, their cabins tend to be significantly noisier than the best luxury cars. This resulted in a downgrade of their total system. In addition, there are the myriad of Bose systems offered in many cars. As good as they are, we find that the Bose systems we've heard impart a sonic signature that seems to emphasize the bass and a bit of the treble - not unlike a loudness contour. Attempts to mitigate the signature with tone controls were not entirely successful for us.

Mobile audio has come a long way. Stereo imaging, long the domain of home audio, has become an important factor in car audio - particularly now with the advent of DVD-Audio in car systems. The best systems are capable of a solid, stable stereo image from the driver's position as well as the passenger's position.
If there's a weakness in mobile audio systems, it's in the spectral balance. Many car audio systems tend to overemphasize the bass and treble, because manufacturer thinks that's what impresses most consumers. In the long run, however, the 'boom-hiss' sound is tiring. The best sound systems present a neutral tonal balance (so long as you resist the temptation to crank up the bass and treble controls). Do you prefer more bass or treble?

Do you really need to add a DVD, so you can watch your favorite movie?
Before you replace or upgrade your car audio system, you should know what kind of car that you have. The most important about this matter is that you must understand what kind of music that you always love to hear when you drive.

There are a lot of brand in the market such as: Pioneer, Blaupunk, Bose, Sony, Kenwood, Clarion, Panasonic, JBL, etc. You can combine your audio system with different brand and type. It’s a good idea if you discus your idea with your friend who really understand about car and audio before you decide to buy a new system.

Digital Camera

What is your camera? Do you still have your grandfather’s camera? Many people still use SLR (single lens reflection) cameras. A SLR camera is great because you can create photography art. A professional photographer will use both digital and analog camera.
If you go to the city and enter the camera shops, there are not many conventional cameras available now. Most people are preferred to use a compact digital camera. A digital camera is slim, full with features and easy to use. You don’t have to bring a big size camera and film wherever you want to take some pictures.

When you need to buy a digital camera you must think about the price, brand, features, picture quality, mega pixel, services and guarantee, etc. You can choose many brands such as Kodak, Canon, Pentax, Panasonic Lumix, Leica, Casio, Nikon, Sanyo, Samsung, Sony, and other brand. A digital camera starts from 1.3 mega pixels and above 10 mega pixels. You can get a good quality picture from 4 or more mega pixel resolutions. Don’t buy a digital camera below the 4 mega pixels because the picture quality is not so good when you print your photo. Recently, Canon PowerShot, Casio Exilim, Sony Cyber-shot, Panasonic Lumix and other Chinese brand Mikona camera promote 12.1 Megapixel digital cameras. Wow...

The latest digital camera also equipped with face detection technology, high sensitive ISO, anti shake, anti blur, auto focus, internal editing, and other high tech features. Also you can connect your digital camera to view full HDTV 1080p for better images. You don’t have to buy a separate video camera if you are a traveler because a compact size digital camera also equipped with a capability to make a movie. It’s incredible.

Before you make a decision please consider the feature of the camera. Don’t forget to check the brochure and browse the information in the Internet. Make sure that the lenses size, zoom, and flash light, battery life, etc. fits your needs. Ask the shop owner about bonus if you choose a particular brand. Sometime they give some bonuses such as external memory or soft case. Most digital camera also include video capture capability, but make sure that you can make a video or movie with sound or audio. Video without audio is not complete. It’s a great idea if you purchase a digital camera in a promotion season. Digital cameras are now available for both professional photographers and amateur enthusiasts. A professional digital camera is expensive and the size it’s bigger than the compact size digital camera.

Digital cameras aim at amateur photographers’ market. They function as much as point-and-shoot cameras do, with automatic focus, automatic exposure, and built-in electronic flash. Pictures from these cameras contain fewer pixels than those from a more expensive camera and are therefore not as sharp. After taking pictures, the user can connect the camera directly to a television set or video cassette recorder, so the whole family can look at snapshots together. We are so lucky that we live in a digital world, because image files can be transferred to a home computer, stored on disks, or sent to friends via electronic mail.
