Nikon D35 Officially Announced

Nikon have made the D3S official now. When launched it will cost just shy of $5,200. With a price tag like that you can expect a very good quality camera. The Nikon D3S is an upgrade to the older D3 model. Nikon have said that it’s the most significant S upgrade they have made.

Inside the new camera has a 12.1 megapixel camera with a full frame CMOS sensor. Also a dust reduction system can be found inside. The camera has an effective ISO of an impressive 102,400.

The camera can capture video also at HD in 720p mode at 24 frames per second. However, it will not capture video at full HD. The camera is being pitched as working well in low light situations with Nikon saying it can capture things your eyes can’t even see.

Engineered for real-world functionality, the D3S is ruggedly constructed with moisture, dust and shock resistance that has become a hallmark of flagship Nikon D-SLRs, while preserving the usability and ergonomics that allow the camera to remain an extension of the photographer’s vision. Attention to detail goes so far as to include a self-diagnostic shutter system that is tested to 300,000 cycles for maximum accuracy and longevity. Rigid and precise magnesium alloy construction and the familiar form factor of the D3 extend consistent Nikon system synergy.

A bright and accurate viewfinder provides 100-percent coverage with 0.7x magnification. The body also houses Nikon’s acclaimed 921,000-dot, 3.0-inch super density LCD monitor which is viewable up to 170 degrees, and is safeguarded by a tempered glass cover. Thanks to incredibly efficient internal circuitry, the D3S can capture up to 4200* shots per single charge of the camera’s Lithium-ion battery.

New Edition Pentax K-x Camera

The Pentax K-x is a new camera that was announced just a month ago. The announcement said that it comes in the usual black colour along with white and red options being available. Now we hear that a new version has been launched in a Kore Ja Nai Robo toy set of colours.
The colourful model of camera resembles the toy robot that was first introduced in Japan back in 2001 and aims to be more of a fun entry level digital SLR camera. Other than the fancy colour casing there are no other differences on this camera.
The special edition Robo Pentax K-x will cost $880 when launched and only 100 units will be made with pre-orders beginning early next month in November. As of now it seems that all 100 units will be staying in Japan unless you can find some way of getting your hands on one of them through someone else if you want to take part in the mad array of colour.

2010 Apple Tablet Device

OK so there was no Apple tablet announced at the Apple event in September. That doesn’t mean the rumors will retreat quietly. Rather, they will be adjusted and put back into circulation. The latest rumor from a Taiwanese parts manufacturer puts the release of the iTablet (rumored name for the Apple tablet device). Included in the list of parts was HSDPA which means the possibility of running the device off the 3G network.

Many have theorized that Apple is on the cusp of coming out with either a netbook or a tablet to compete with lower end computers. Apple’s executives however have stated their interest in keeping the Apple brand a premium in the computer market.

Do you guys think that Apple will come out with a tablet?

Some pictures have leaked of the new Canon DSLR digital camera called the EOS 7D. The Canon EOS 7D is an 18 megapixel camera that has HD video, a digital level, a 3 inch screen and dual DIGIC 4 processors.

ISO can run from 100 – 6400 with a 12800 mode. The viewfinder also shows 100% coverage too. As well as the leaked poster and box shown above and below, the DSLR also gets 2 new lenses that are 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 and an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6.

No official details have been provided by Canon just yet although we do expect them any day now.

iPod Nano 5G

Review for New iPod Nano 5G

Officially this iPod Nano 5G is so exhausted. Someone please tell Apple to stop adding features to this thing. Remember when all an MP3 player to do was play music? These days, you practically have to write a textbook to cover all the features that get crammed into a device like the iPod Nano.

An extra 0.2-inch really does make a noticeable difference when you're dealing with screens this small.

Writer's exhaustion aside, the fifth-generation Nano is a fantastic little gadget that's one of the easiest-to-recommend stocking stuffers out there. The thing comes in a ton of colors, works with iTunes, helps you lose weight (pedometer), and might even get you to record the world's next completely unnecessary viral YouTube sensation. Sure, the earbuds are still garbage, but Sony seems to be the only manufacturer fighting that battle.

To prevent from boring you to tears, one area of the iPod Nano's performance I didn't go into exhaustive detail over is the video camera's image quality. If you're curious, I ran a few of tests over the weekend, shooting indoors and outdoors, and A/B testing the Nano against the Flip UltraHD. Aside from the obvious image quality differences, I also found problems with the Nano's tilt-sensor getting tripped-up on the camera's orientation and capturing videos sideways. Editing programs will often be smart enough to reorient the video automatically, but the glitch shows just one more way where a dedicated camcorder like the Flip gets things right.

Comparing the video capture quality.

Still, minor complaints aside, the Nano is still an exceptional itty-bitty do-it-all gadget for the price. You really have to take the Nano's camcorder with a grain of salt. It is, after all, an MP3 player.
