In the world of digital cameras, Canon is the king. Their cameras have been getting smaller in size and larger in the picture size. Canon has a number of different lines of digital cameras, ranging from their Digital SLR’s to their affordable PowerShot series.

The Canon PowerShot SD750 is one of their more high-end cameras in the PowerShot line. The SD750 has an enormous 3-inch LCD screen. The features are otherwise fairly basic: 7.1 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom lens, and automatic exposure modes that make the SD750 very easy to use.

There is more to the Canon SD750 than its LCD. For being such a small camera, the SD750 performs very well. It creates realistic and accurately-colored pictures whether in bright light or the dark night. Face detection is one of its highlighted features: this automatically detects and focuses on faces in view, so all you have to do is push the button and capture the moment.

Here are a few of the technical specifications for the PowerShot SD750:

• Street price: $259
• 3″ LCD screen
• 7.1 MP
• 3x optical zoom lens
• Face detection software

When I first hear about Sony I think about the Playstation 3 and their great TV’s. Lately however, Sony has been getting into the home audio market and they’ve been doing a great job. This past summer Sony released a iPod speaker dock with a clock radio built in.

It features a great adjustable backstop for iPods so you can fit all different types (not the iPod Touch however), a digital AM/FM tuner, dual alarms and the ability to charge you iPod as you play.

The great thing about this system is that you can get it for under $100. Most of the time with Sony products you pay a large premium but this seems to be competitively priced for once.
