GE A730: Top compact digital camera on a budget
Just about 12 months ago $100 only got you a low quality, low resolution digital compact camera equipped with poor zooming and focussing capablities plus a super tiny LCD display. Finally, these days are over, the same $100 can buy you a pretty good compact camera now. The best example is the new seven Megapixel digital camera GE A730 by U.S. giant General Electric. Sure, this is not a premium brand camera such as the compact’s from Nikon, Sony, Canon or Kodak that retail easily for $100 to $150 more then GE model. However, the GE A730 delivers a solid mix of high-end options and easy-to-use functions on a budget - and even gives you more Megapixels then more expensive models from Canon or Kodak. Also: The GE gives you the ability to capture MPEG video Read more

HD Video: iPhone will soon be outdated!
Well, if you believe in the power of HD video and predictions made my our fellow colleagues at tech news site Cnet, the not even released Apple iPhone is expected to be outdated within the next 12 months. Apple will release one of the most highly touted cell phones in history this week. And by next year, those first iPhones will likely be woefully outdated, says Cnet in an editorial earlier today. What is your take on take on this? Does HD Video really matter on portable devices? E-mail us.
SnapVillage by Corbis: Amateurs make money selling photos
I’ve always felt exceptionally irritated with websites that charge a bomb for buying or selling photographs. I mean c’mon, you got to at least stop putting humungous price tags on memories. I mean didn’t some wise guy say that “a thing of beauty is a joy forever?” Considering that phrase in today’s scenario, it looks like that’s no more the case. It’s more like “a thing of beauty is a pocket burner forever”( Oh I’m sure a lot of guys will agree, if you know what I mean).
Well, to embalm our pocket-burning wounds (well, at least to some extent), Corbis (a Microsoft enterprise), now brings to you something called SnapVillage (www.snapvillage.com), which offers royalty-free images ranging from $1 to $50.
Now you can adorn your entire creative project with affordable and great pictures without having to worry about the cost (well, at least without worrying too much).
I checked out the website myself, and ooh la la, that place has sure got some talented bunch! Gorgeous pictures I’d say and you have pictures for almost anything you’d possibly need. Sure, $ 50 per picture (which is the max it would cost on the site) might seem like a lot if you’re doing 10 projects a month, but hey, they’re at least doing something to contain costs. Read more

Yawn: Canon 1D Mark III rated best camera ever
No surprise: San Francisco-based tech news site Cnet just rated the new Canon 1D Mark III with the Editor’s choice tag. Well, this editorial decision was a pretty easy one: The Canon 1D Mark III is the latest and most advanced professional Digital SLR and with a retail price of $4.500 by far one of the most expensive digital SLR ever made.
Sure, this is ‘the’ professional digital SLR on the market right now, it is just fantastic, allows incredibly fast shooting, has an amazing picture quality, and an absurd number of options which make this one the best SLRs the global photography community has ever seen. No doubt about it, every serious photographer wants this camera.
However, I predict, within 6 to 12 months, Canon’s fiercest competitor, Nikon Corp. will roll out an update to their current top-of-the-line DSLR camera model, the Nikon D2Xs. As for decades, the Canon vs. Nikon head-to-head race to built the best pro SLR will continue and within the Read more
Radar.net: Sharing your pics finally ‘private’
Personally, I love all networking sites and nothing excites me more than sharing my pictures with all those long-lost friends and bum chums! But what when I want to share some of my oh-not-so-prudent pictures from my trip to the beaches at Miami or the clubs at Las Vegas?
I definitely wouldn’t want to upload it at one of those thousand networking sites, just to risk finding myself on a not so welcome (anti-family-watching) site. Well, the good news is that me, and all of u like me (ahem!) have nothing to worry anymore.
A new website, Radar (It’s not a networking site) helps you upload and share your pictures and still control the right Read more
