Sony Cybershot DSC-T30

Ruhani Rabin — Tue, 30 May 2006 18:31:15 +0000

Imaging Resource have just reviewed the Sony Cybershot DSC-T30, a 7.2 megapixel camera with a 3 inch LCD screen, image stabilisation and high sensitivity mode (ISO 1000) to help avoid blurry photos.

"Sony’s Cyber-shot T-series of digital cameras have proven popular in the market thanks to their slim, compact bodies and ease of use while still allowing a fair degree of control over photos. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 builds on that heritage, as an update to the existing DSC-T9 model."

Sony NW-E005 flash drive Walkman

Ruhani Rabin — Thu, 25 May 2006 17:47:09 +0000

the NW-E005 comes in versions from 512MB to 2GB, and comes in a range of colors. But Sony has added one key feature: the new model now supports the AAC file format, which Sony is in the process of adding to all new players. As previously mentioned, although AAC is the default format used by iTunes, these players won't be able to play any DRM-protected iTunes downloads. However, if you've ripped CDs into AAC using iTunes, you will be able to play them back in the NW-E005 without having to convert them into another format first. Sony's also rolled out a waterproof case for this player, though we'd still be a little wary of taking it into the shower or pool.

Nokia 770 features Google Talk

Ruhani Rabin — Sat, 13 May 2006 20:31:36 +0000

Wall Street Journal has confirmed that the included VoIP app will indeed be, as we anticipated, Google Talk. Unfortunately this means that the device will still be unable to call regular phone numbers out of the box, although G Talk members will at least be able to chat among themselves for free. The WSJ is also reporting (only to its subscribers, not to us) that sources close to Nokia have said that the new device will be officially unveiled on Tuesday, and sell for around $390 when it hits stores.

MSP-209 video glasses

Ruhani Rabin — Fri, 12 May 2006 20:32:21 +0000

We can't say Kowon's new MSP-209 video glasses will solve any of those problems, but the $200 price ain't bad, and they claim the unit's micro LCDs are the smallest and lightest available. The whole unit weighs a mere two ounces, and displays video at QVGA, perfect for showing the phone DMB broadcasts that Kowon is targeting the device for. Supposedly the MSP-209 simulates a 32-inch TV at around 7 feet away and can run on its lithium polymer batter for around 8 hours between recharging. The display should be available in Korea next week, with Europe, Japan and China releases coming sometime next month.

Sony’s 7.2 megapixel Cybershot DSC-W70

Ruhani Rabin — Fri, 12 May 2006 20:15:45 +0000

W70 includes a 3x optical zoom and 2.5-inch display, along with 54MB of internal memory and a 300-plus-shot battery, still manages to capture quality images with good color accuracy, white balance, and detail — although it does produce visible noise at ISO settings above 200. Still, with almost no shutter lag, ergonomic controls, and intuitive menus, the W70 sounds like a serious contender for consumers looking for a hassle-free model that takes a good picture at a fair price.

Fujifilm’s Real Photo Technology

Ruhani Rabin — Wed, 10 May 2006 14:51:23 +0000

Fujifilm has developed what it calls Real Photo Technology, aiming to take that speckled and smudgy noise out of poorly-lit images. Soon to be incorporated into Fujifilm’s FinePix V10 (pictured here) and the upcoming FinePix F30, the company says the technology makes images “more vivid and realistic.”

Looks like this Real Photo Technology is marketSpeak for jacking up the sensitivity of the CCD, where Fujifilm says its F30 camera can shoot at ISO equivalencies as high as 3200. Because of that higher light sensitivity, the camera’s shutter speeds can be faster. Teamed up with image stabilization, the goal is sharper pics with less noise.
