Download Free technews From viewzoft One might wonder if Sony packed a little too much into the relatively compact DSC-G1, but as wed already seen, even the CNET review crew didnt really think so. The only noticeable digs were the slightly larger-than-usual frame and additional weight added on, and unfortunately, the "slow-going" WiFi wizardry. To its credit, the WiFi features did seem to elicit quite a bit of smiles once the initial kinks were worked out, and while they werent crazy about the "narrow, slow zoom lens" per se, the image quality seemed on par. Additionally, the digicams 3.5-inch LCD monitor was dubbed "a television" in an of itself thanks to the impressive resolution, and the 2GB of internal memory along with an additional Memory Stick expansion slot was also highly regarded. Another seemingly minor thumbs-up was given to this unit ability to accept "drag-and-drop" music file transfers to play back on the built-in media player, which is a much appreciated departure from previous cams that forced users to rely on Sonys SonicStage software. Still, $600 isnt chump change for a pocket-based camera, so be sure and read up on the full skinny before throwing down on the (admittedly flashy) G1. ( Read More )
Download Free technews From viewzoft Granted, Sony and Panasonic got into the AVCHD game quite some time ago, but you wont catch us griping about more competition. The relatively small HR10 sports a 1/2.7-inch CMOS sensor, Digic DVII processor, optical image stabilization, a 2.7-inch LCD monitor, HDMI / component outputs, USB 2.0, and a miniSD slot for saving 3.1-megapixel stills. Additionally, the unit touts Full HD capability, a 10x optical zoom lens, and instant AF, and users can record directly to three-centimeter DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in a variety of bitrates. Notably, the DVD camcorder wont come bundled with any sort of video editing software, but it will be hitting store shelves for those still interested this August for $1,199. ( Read More )
Download Free technews From viewzoft We know its late and you should really be asleep if youre reading this right now, but just in case you were waiting to see if Sunday night / Monday morning had any product launches crop up, heres a few: Canons new PowerShots, the SD850 / SD950 IS and S5 IS. Sounds like the SD850 / SD950 are the different badges itll get in the US and overseas, but at the end of the day youve got an 8 megapixel camera with a 4x optical zoom, image stabilization, 1600 ISO sensor, DIGIC III processor, SDHC support, and 2.5-inch display. The PowerShot S5, successor to last years PowerShot S3, also features an 8 megapixel image stabilized 1600 ISO sensor and 2.5-inch display, but naturally has a 12x optical zoom and hotshoe. They should retail for $400 and $500, but we dont have anything official on that or a release date. ( Read More )
