Casio offers a splash of colour with the Exilim Zoom EX-9
If your specification isn’t going to catch the eye, you might as well make the case stand out – as Casio has done with its newly-launched Exilim Zoom EX-9.
Chris Rea thinks you're on the Road To Hell if you download music online
Trent Reznor may be loving the shit out of digital downloads, but Chris Rea? Why, the brunette-Ian-McKellen-with-bum-fluff-lookalike crooner-pony can’t stand the thought of them! He thinks if you partake in it, you’re on the Road To Hell.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
I received a press release this morning, claiming Rea has decided to boycott them, and indeed, ‘won’t be succumbing to the culture of musical downloads’, as if it’s several degrees lower on the bad-list than hallucinatory drugs. It’s not just downloading he’s not supporting, he’s not even in favour of CDs or cassettes, choosing to release the forthcoming…
Eazzzy digital camera concept with USB stick transfer
Now this is a novel idea. Sure, it’s a mere concept for now, but creator Sung Woo Park definitely knows what floats our boat, with the ‘Eazzzy’. It may have three ‘z’ letters in it, but the idea is by no means a snooze.
The Eazzzy doesn’t contain a viewfinder or any bells and whistles, but what it does feature is a USB connector, for more than easy transfer of your photo files to your PC. It’s got a disposable…
Nine Inch Nails angry-man Trent Reznor releases album online, with optional pricing
He’s been threatening it for a while, but finally Trent Reznor has put his money where his mouth is, and is ‘doing a Radiohead’ (late-2007’s most popular phrase), by releasing 36 instrumental tracks purely on the internet, with optional price sets.
Most of the casual Nine Inch Nails fans will no doubt go for the freebie option, ‘Ghosts I’, which is the first nine tracks from his Ghosts I-IV collection. They’re available as DRM-free MP3s along with a 40-page PDF. Going up the pricing ladder, for $5 you can buy Ghosts I-IV, which is all 36 tracks, then for a tenner you’ll get a double-disc set with a 16-page booklet, plus a download of the album for lazies who can’t be bothered to rip the CDs. This option won’t be available until April 8th, however.
Now, here’s where the hardcore NiN followers prick up their ears: $75 will secure you the ‘deluxe’ edition of Ghosts I-IV which will…
Finally, The Charlatans' free album is available for download from Xfm. Err, who are they again?
We’ve been banging on so much about The Charlatans’ new album being a free digital download, any regular reader would think we actually like this band! We’ve also written about Cliff Richard too, if that changes your mind.
Yesterday the album You Cross My Path was made available on the Xfm website, where you can download it in 256kbps quality, ahead of the…
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H50 zooms in
Another new Cyber-Shot from Sony, with the 9.1 megapixel DSC-H50 offering an impressive 15x optical zoom.
Sony introduces Cyber-Shot W300 with 13.6 megapixel sensor
As each year passes, that pixel count just keeps on rising, making us all feel like we need to constantly upgrade. My Leica compact now looks very weedy in comparison to the Sony Cyber-Shot W300 with 13.6 megapixel sensor (although it still looks far more stylish).
Chinese manufacturer Penchan has done it! A 5.5 terapixel camera!
Who woulda thunk it? The Chinese company Penchan has developed a camera with a whopping 5.5 Terapixel resolution, or in layman’s terms, 5,500,000 megapixels. Yes, really. We just got off the phone to Canon and Nikon and it’s safe to say, they’re petrified.
When we told Hasselblad about Penchan’s new product, they vowed to get out of the industry as fast as their little Swedish legs could carry them.
But, to obviously soften the blow to their competitors, they encased it in a powder blue cover…
One day, hopefully we can replace old Polaroids with this digital Polaroid photo frame
Polaroid may’ve committed suicide just last week, but designer David Friedman over at Ironic Sans has drawn (ok, Adobe Illustrated) up a conceptual digital Polaroid idea, similar to a poxy digital photo frame but obviously with that now-retro appeal.
Photos can be loaded onto the Polaroid by the memory card slot at the bottom of the frame, and with the touch-screen, you can choose…
Save your old 35mm film negatives with IWOOT's digital film scanner
It’s a sad state of affairs when you open all your office draws, looking for a USB stick, and all you can find are old film negative cannisters. Anyone born before 1990 is guilty of this (and a whole lot more), I’m sure.
I Want One Of Those has just added a new wondrous gadget to their virtual shelves, the digital film scanner. Convert those old 35mm negatives and mounted slides into…
