guyz its 256 GB USB drive. Can u believe it?, thats a lottttt of capacity for a something even smaller than pen. i mean even much hypedSSDs just reach 320 GB capacity although they are cheaper and much faster.

Data Traveller 300 is prohibhitively costly- more than 900$ considering the fact that its writing speed is just 10MB/sec. So even by that ideal figure of 10 MB/sec, it will take 7 hours to fill the entire drive. ideal speeds would be close to 100MB per sec.

New Intel Core I5 Chip Surfaces on Retailer's Web Site - PC World

Details of an upcoming Core i5 processor from Intel have surfaced on a retailer's Web site.

The Core i5-570 processor will run at 2.66GHz and include 8MB of cache, according to FadFusion. The chip, targeted at mainstream desktops, is priced at US$233.

The processor belongs to the new Core i5 line of processors, which are rumored to launch next month. Intel already offers quad-core Core i7 chips for high-end desktops, and is later expected to launch Core i3 chips for low-end desktops.


Benchmarks for Core i5 processor, Core i5-750, have been posted on multiple Web sites like PC Games Hardware. The quad-core chip has similar specifications as the Core i5-570, running at 2.67GHz, with 8MB of cache, and it draws about 95 watts of power.

The ground-breaking COOLPIX S1000pj is expected to shake up the compact digital camera market as people begin to see the benefits of sharing and viewing photos and videos using personal projection.

The COOLPIX S1000pj doesn’t just pack a punch with its projector – the compact camera delivers high resolution images with 12.1 effective megapixels and a 2.7” wide viewing-angle TFT LCD monitor. With a high ISO 6400 sensitivity and using Nikon’s exclusive image processing concept, EXPEED, the camera offers the kind of high quality images you expect from Nikon. This is all wrapped up in a sleek aluminium silver or anodized black casing that contains a wide-angle 5x zoom NIKKOR lens.

People can’t help but be blown away by such a beautifully crafted device. It’s packed with everything you need to take amazing photos so easily as well as to show your pictures; a great screen and amazing projector. Sharing photos and videos has never been so easy – or so fun.”

One touch projection
If you’ve ever wanted to share your photos or videos at a party or relive a day’s memories while on your travels, then now you can with one-touch projection on the COOLPIX S1000pj. The built-in projector easily projects an image size from approximately 5 inches up to 40 inches*1. A supplied remote control means that you can wirelessly operate both the projector and usual camera functions, and a simple projection stand is supplied for optimal viewing wherever you are.

Getting the shot you imagine

Features

Sharper results with five advanced Nikon image stabilising features*3
Nikon's Optical lens shift and Electronic VR image stabilisation systems combine to help produce blur-free images. High ISO 6400*4 capability allows faster shutter speeds when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. Motion Detection automatically controls shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for subject movement and camera shake. And, Nikon’s original BSS (Best Shot Selector) function automatically shoots a series of sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus.
Nikon’s Smart Portrait System with Skin Softening
Face-priority AF helps produce more satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure for as many as 12 faces in the framed shot. Skin Softening function detects and analyses a framed subject’s skin, and then adjusts smoothness to produce enhanced results. Smile Timer automatically releases the shutter when the subject smiles, while its Blink Proof function shoots two sequential frames, then saves the one in which the subject’s eyes are widest open. Blink Warning presents an alert when it suspects that someone in the shot has blinked. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects any perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.

Intelligent automated shooting modes that promote carefree shooting
Nikon’s Scene Auto Selector makes it faster and easier to capture the moment by eliminating the need to manually select a scene mode to match the intended shot. This intelligent function determines the subject, analyses the surrounding settings, and then automatically selects the appropriate scene mode for optimal results. Subject Tracking enhances the shooting experience by following the subject’s movement to ensure clear focus and quick response when that special shutter opportunity presents itself. Subject Tracking even functions if the subject moves out of the frame for a second or two.

Quick Retouch
Quick Retouch automatically adjusts the contrast and saturation of selected photos to create an enhanced copy with the right finishing touch.

Other Features

2.7-in. high-resolution LCD monitor with anti-reflection coated cover

World's first 3D digital Camera Fuji Finepix Real 3D W1

Fuji Finepix Real 3D W1 Digital Camera Announced

Fuji Introduce the 'World's first 3D digital imaging system that lets you enjoy three dimensional images without the need of 3D glasses'. Wo!


The 10MP 3D digital camera from Fuji is the Real 3D W1 which captures 'precious images just as the eyes sees them' Fuji state and not just still images, but movies too.

This new technology is thanks to Fuji's Real 3D Lens system which is 2 special Fujinon lenses protected from vibration and impact and 2 CCD sensors which has synchronized data passed from them to the Real Photo Processor 3D. The 3D or 2D images are then transferred onto the LCD display where they natural 3D images can be viewed by the naked eye. Enhanced 2D photography is also possible with the W1 and new technologies are on board to create improved images. The Advanced 2D Mode allows you to take two different shots at the same time (Dual Capture) and Sensitivity Mode Dual Shooting allows users to alter the sensitivity setting for the dual capture.

The design is exquisite too, with a 2.8" screen on the rear and a stylish black finish. There are large easy to operate function buttons on either side of the display to shortcut from 2D and 3D modes, zoom, menu and playback.

Fuji have also announced the Fuji Real 3D V1 8inch photo viewer on which your 3D images and movies can be viewed in high resolution. It has a slim, smart design so will look great in any room and allows you to view your 3D footage without the need for 3D glasses and operates with easy to use touch functions.

Fuji Finepix Real 3D W1 Tested, Declared "Coolest Camera of the Year"

Just before everyone got completely tired of just talking about how weird-looking Fuji's grin-faced, two-eyed 3D point-and-shoot is, some news: It does work, and it's extremely cool. This according to the Brits at Stuff, who've actually got one.

After briefly making fun of its looks and girth (it's fatty fat, like and EP-1, apparently), the reviewer dives straight into hyperbole, saying he's "just handled the future," and that the device is the "odds-on coolest camera of the year." This sounds like a little much, until you read what it can do:

The amazing bit, the bit that you'll want to show all your friends, is that you can see the photos popping out of the rear LCD in proper 3D, without any need to wear stupid glasses. That is the wonder of a lenticular screen...And I turned it off and on again. And again. A 3D logo kept popping up on (or out of) the LCD and I had to keep doing it to persuade myself that it wasn't my imagination.

Yeah, ok, this sounds pretty fantastic. Fuji's using this same lenticular glasses-less tech across the Real 3D line, so you'll get the same results on the 8-inch V1 digital frame, or on Fuji's special-order paper prints, which Stuff says look like the "free 3D pictures you used to get with packets of cereal, with dinosaurs and things on them," just "much better."

It's not all wonder and whimsy and OH MY GOD, and it's easy to pick out a few early annoyances that could grow into full-fledged problems: the effect isn't as spectacular when the photos don't have seriously pronounced depth of field, and the dual lens system doesn't really work in macro mode, necessitating and awkward workaround. And what about video? Stuff is suspiciously mum on this.

The takeaway? With release set for September and a price expected to fall at around $600, this bifocal beast—which, don't forget, is a regular point-and-shoot and video camera underneath it all—isn't just a one-trick gimmick.
