Sony NEX-VG30: Video camera with interchangeable lenses
|
 We reviewed the Sony NEX-VG30. The NEX-VG30 is a significant improvement over the NEX-VG10 that we tested previously. We did not test the VG20, but it's safe to say that the differences are smaller, with the main one being the new support for motorized zoom lenses.

Nikon D3200 Camera Review – An Exceptional
|
|
It’s all to do with the sensor size. When you buy a point-and-shoot camera you are getting either one of a couple different kinds of sensors: CMOS or CCD. The problem with point-and-shoots are the sensors, which tend to be very small compared to a DSLR. That doesn’t mean you can’t take a great photo; it just means the larger the surface area of your sensor the more detail and dynamic range can be stored in an image. Couple that with a good lens and you can obtain truly amazing photos that you could only dream of with a point-and-shoot. The major competitions of DSLRs currently are mirrorless-system cameras. Their small size, quality, and larger sensors are all hot selling points. We would still recommend a DSLR camera for learning purposes, and the Nikon D3200 surely is a great camera to practice with.

Video Perspective: Oculus Rift Development Kit Hands-on Preview
|
|
I will say that the low resolution is definitely a barrier for me. Each eye is only seeing a 640x800 resolution in this version of the kit and that close up you can definitely see each pixel. Even worse, this creates a screen door effect that is basically like looking through a window with a screen installed. It`s not great but you could get used to it if you had to; I am just hoping the higher resolution version of this kit is closer."

Frame Rating: Visual Effects of Vsync on Gaming Animation
|
|
In our continuing research on graphics performance, part of our Frame Rating story line, I recently spent many hours playing games on different hardware configurations and different levels of Vertical Sync. After this time testing, I am comfortable in saying that I do not think that simply enabling Vsync on platforms that exhibit a large number of runt frames fixes the issue. It may prevent runts, but it does not actually produce a completely smooth animation."

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 Digital Camera Review
|
|
We have in our hot little hands one of the first Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX30 Digital cameras for review and DEFINITELY the first orange sample that has reached Canada. The TX-30 is waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and even freeze proof, garnishing it’s recognition as being the world’s slimmest waterproof camera. For it to pass our stringent examination however, the TX30 must be ‘Karen-Proof’ in withstanding elements greater than these small few.

Canon PowerShot A2600 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
The Canon PowerShot A2600 is one of the less expensive cameras in the company`s point-and-shoot lineup. The 16-megapixel shooter has a 5x zoom lens, the same design that is found in the A1400. There are a few differencesthe A2600 uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, is a bit slimmer, and doesn`t have an optical viewfinderbut from an image quality perspective they are essentially the same."

Matrox DS1 review: a practical Thunderbolt dock
|
|
The Matrox DS1 is a practical way of taking the hassle out of connecting multiple things to your MacBook. It connects via Thunderbolt, and provides connectivity for audio, gigabit ethernet, USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0 and monitors via a single-link DVI port. Leave that on your work desk, and you just need to connect one cable and you're ready to go, instead of needing to connect each individual cable each time.

Samsung DV150F Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
The DV150F is the latest iteration in Samsung`s Dual View camera design. In addition to the rear LCD, which is a ubiquitous feature on point-and-shoots, a front LCD lets you point the lens at yourself to snap a quick self portrait. The 25mm wide-angle field of view makes it possible for a friend to join you, and integrated Wi-Fi lets you beam the photo directly to Facebook or your smartphone."

D-Link Cloud Camera 5000 (DCS-5222L) Review @ TestFreaks
|
|
The specs on the camera are quite impressive with a 1/4 Megapixel Progressive CMOS sensor that has 5-meter IR illumination distance, Infrared-Cut Removable (ICR) Filter module, Passive Infra-Red (PIR) and an aperture of F1.9. Of course the camera is only as good as its software. Today we focus in on whether the Cloud Camera 5000 is the total package or lacking in one or more areas. "

Canon PIxma MG6320 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
The Canon Pixma MG6320 is a photo-centered all-in-one printer that does a good job at printing color photos and scanning them too. It is simple to setup and has a forward-thinking design, but it does have costly ink cartridges and slow print speeds."

Nikon has now officially unveiled the D7100 which will succeed (but not replace) the D7000 DSLR. The main improvements are in the areas of sensor resolution and the number of autofocus points. The film mode has also been improved, and the low-pass filter has been removed from the sensor.

Netgear WNDR4700 Centria review: multi-functional
|
|
As router, the Netgear WNDR4700 certainly managed to convince us of its right to exist. Its performance is outstanding, and it can even hold its own with the best high-end routers on the market. Adding an internal hard disk to the mix is not a bad idea in our opinion. However, in the case of the WNDR4700 it's mainly useful for making back-ups, which is a breeze with the excellent ReadyShare Vault software. The transfer rates to and from the internal disk inside the WNDR4700 are good, but the speed of the USB 3.0 ports are very close which almost makes it pointless to put a hard disk inside. On the other hand, now you have multiple fast connections you can use any way you want. The SD card reader is also a nice bonus.

Canon PIXMA MG8250 review: high-end all-in-one
|
|
We reviewed the Canon PIXMA MG8250. This is the best photo-all-in-one that we've tested in recent times. It really didn't disappoint us in any aspect. It looks good, has all the connectors that you need, and it is very user-friendly with the touch buttons and the display. The CCD scanner creates scans that are superior to those made by CIS scanners, and you can scan 35 mm film. The print quality is excellent, with beautiful colours and sharp, deep-black text.

Sony MDR-1RNC review: excellent noise cancellation
|
|
All things considered, we were pretty impressed by the MDR-1RNC. Generally speaking, the headphones sounds excellent, even if they’re not the best we've ever heard. The lows are a little too weak, and this will be noticeable to those that enjoy bass-heavy music. For the majority of genres these headphones will be great, however, and that's supplemented by the extremely effective noise cancellation. The latter does affect the sound signature, but it's something you can live with. If you frequently travel in noisy environments, you will definitely appreciate the silence created by the 1RNC.

APM-J011-WS Wireless/Wired Night Vision IP Camera Review @ Bigbruin.com
|
|
The APM-J011-WS sent over by Geeks.com works very well. Initially I wasn`t sure what I should expect from this lower priced, generically packaged unit. Because the APM-J011-WS is so much like a Foscam camera, I wound up being very pleased. It was extremely easy to setup, the feature-packed interface is nearly identical, and every day use is quite simple."

Have you ever whipped out your smartphone to take a picture that you then post on Instagram or Facebook?
