JVC EVERIO GZ-MS100

Someday all movies will be on the internet and, if current trends persist, will last only 10 minutes. Budding auteurs can prepare for this future with this camera, which records videos to an SD card (not included) and has a special upload button that cuts off the video at the 10-minute mark to confirm to YouTube's rules, and then automatically uploads it to You Tube when the camera is connected to a PC. It has a 35x optical zoom lens and a 2.7-inch screen with a touch - sensitive scroll pad on the side for selecting options and scrolling through video.





This is certainly the best performer of that category, and performance ranks higher with us than any other quality.But it may not be your top priority. If you want a camcorder that can take a beating and be replaced cheaply, you may very well opt for the Sony or Flip. Also we didn't like the handling much, so if you a great all purpose camcorder there are better options.
It costs $350 (as on 5th sep 2008)

Friday, September 5, 2008

The latest in the TZ series is as impressive as its predecessors. The slim, lightweight design is simply sublime, with a thin frame that manages to mesh the lid , keyboard area and underside in a very sturdy frame . The screen is vintage Sony 11.1 inch offering vivid colours contrast and brightness. The construction material is very soild (carbon fiber) and offers a feelingof solidness that one would not ordinarily expects from a laptop of this size.






Moderately equipped, it offers a dual - layer DVD-RW , fingerprint reader, 2USB ports , 1.3 MP camera , spirnt mobile broadband wireless wan, Firewire port , Bluetooth and a 3-in-1 media card reader. It sports an intel C2D UV 7700 processor and its graphics are powered by intel GM950 graphics subsystem .

The subtle touches don't only end at the body. The power button and recharge jacks have been seamlessly integrated on either side of the laptop's hinges. The lid is happily devoid of the shiney mirror finish that everyone is fond of , and instead offers a very elegant brownish black finish that screams class.

SONY AR69GU

Thursday, September 4, 2008

This one has been designed as a full - blown desktop replacement. Its lid sports a glossy black finish that extends to the area around the LCD panel, giving it an elegant look with sturdy plastic.
It comes loaded , in keeping with its premium status - an Intel C2D T8300 processor (clock speed 2.4 GHz), 4 GB of ram, AND 500gb of storage space. Connectivity wise it offers just about anything and everthing including a Blu-ray record/playback drive.






The keyboard may be a tad small, but it offers a good working experience. The keys offer a good feedback and are quite pleasant to type on. The only downside is that the keys sometimes doesn't allow a register click. This is simply because the keyboard employs a deep-click system, for which the key has to be pounded a little harder than usual. While this is not a big issue, touch typist may sometimes see funny errors.

The LCD PANEL on the AR69GU is a standard TFT-LCD. This was a disappointment, as we were hoping it would have a backlit LED PANEL. The current panel is not bad though . It offers a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200 and offers excellent color and contrast. The black levels were not as deep as in the Acer 8920, but they were good enough for us to enjoy a full HD without any issues.
