Canon Powershot G9

Canon Powershot G9Before the advent of affordable digital SLRs, high-end point and shoot digital cameras were the driving force behind the exponential expansion of the digital imaging revolution. Canon digital cameras have been at the forefront of that high tech surge since the introduction of the Powershot G1 in 2000. Canon’s “G” models have always been aimed at photographers who want a responsive and relatively compact general-use digital camera with SLR like performance but without the SLR price.

The new Canon Powershot G9 is loaded with a number of great features such as RAW + JPEG images, an optical view finder, face detection, 6x optical zoom and image stabilization. It also has a number of shooting modes which make it feel more like a digital SLR instead of a point and shoot camera.

Here are a few of the technical specifications for the Powershot G9:

  • Street Price: $499.99
  • Resolution: 12.1MP
  • Shutter Speed:15 - 1/2500 sec
  • ISO range: 80/100/200/400/800/1600
  • 1.5 Frames per second
  • Optical Viewfinder and 3″ LCD monitor

Antec 900

Antec 900 computer casePicking out the right computer case is essential when you’re building your own computer. Some cases don’t have enough space inside while some have too much.

The Antec 900 will keep even the hottest of gaming rigs cool with its unique air flow. Included with the case is 3x 120mm fans and 1x 200mm fan! You can also add another 2x 120mm fans to cool the graphics card and cpu.

Nikon Coolpix P5100

Nikon CoolPix P5100Point and shoot cameras have been getting higher resolutions as the time goes on and it’s really anyones game as to when the resolutions will start to to even out. I’ve seen cameras as high as 21MP whereas my first camera had only 2.1MP. Today’s review has an astonishing 12.1MP which is pretty amazing considering it costs under $400.

The Coolpix P5100 is the latest in Nikon’s “Performance Series” with full manual controls, a place for an external flash and conversion lens compatibility. The P5100 follows the P5000 with the same 2.5-inch LCD screen and 3.5x optical zoom lens, but more resolution. This camera is basically a mini-SLR that gives you the ability to fine-tune your shots but without the bulk and heftiness of an actual SLR.

Here are a few of the technical specifications for the Coolpix P5100:

  • Street Price: $399.99
  • Resolution: 12.1MP
  • Shutter Speed: 8 – 1/2000 sec
  • ISO range: 64-3200
  • Exposure Modes (P/S/A/M)
  • Optical Viewfinder and Image Stabilization

MacBook

White MacBook laptopThere are essentially three different types of laptops, gaming laptops, work laptops and everyday laptops. Today I’m going to review a laptop that’s a little more modest when it comes to features and price.

The MacBook offers a great compromise between size and portability for a reasonable price (the baseline white model costs $1,099). Even better, that low cost gets you a number of features also found on the more expensive MacBook Pro - notably, Core Duo processors, digital audio in/out, and the groovy MagSafe power adapter.

Here are a few of the technical specifications for the MacBook:

  • Street price: $1099
  • 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  • 13-inch widescreen
  • 1GB Ram, 120GB hard drive
  • Intel Integrated Graphics

D-Link WBR-1310

D-Link WBR-1310Back in the day getting a router to work with all of your devices was fairly easy because 9 times out of 10 they were all Windows devices. Now that Mac laptops and desktops have grown in popularity, as well as Linux devices, finding a router that will support all three can be a challenging ordeal.

Luckily D-Link has the answer. The D-Link WBR-1310 allows both Windows, OSX, and Linux devices to connect to the internet through this router. It runs both 802.11b and 802.11g, includes basic security software, supports both WEP and WPA encryption and is easy to install. If you’ve ever installed a router before than this should be no problem but the instructions are fairly bad so you might need to get information off of the internet.

Here are a few of the technical specifications for the D-Link WBR-1310:

  • Street Price: $39.99
  • Transfer Speeds: 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 11, 9, 6, 5.5, 2, & 1Mbps
  • Frequency: 2.4GHz to 2.462GHz
  • 5 Brighty LED’s

Kodak EasyShare Z712 ISDigital SLR prices have been continuously dropping over the past few years. You can now get a very decent SLR for under $600. For most people this wouldn’t be that big of a purchase and would be well worth the cost, but what happens if you don’t have $600 to spend on a camera.

It has a number of great features like a 12x optical zoom, a number of preset settings for different environments and lighting conditions and it lets you have a lot of control over your camera. The great thing about it is that it’s about a third of the price of a regular SLR camera.
