Kodak EasyShare Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 12:40 AM PDT

Kodak was a provider of image sensors, including cameras for the Four Thirds for several years now. However, the Leica S2 also has a Kodak sensor. Rumors about a new EasyShare camera seem questionable. In the past, Kodak did not have digital SLR cameras in its range, however, in recent years the brand has focused solely on the simple compact cameras. It is difficult to imagine a new type of camera Kodak EasyShare. You would rather think of a special gadget that a serious camera. Is there a Kodak camera Micro Four Thirds, or not?

If Kodak makes the step to develop and launch a “EasyShare Micro Four Thirds camera ‘, it would break the market for video systems cheap. Currently, only Olympus and Panasonic are active in this segment, with relatively expensive cameras Micro Four Thirds. Kodak will seize the opportunity to force a price break through Micro Four Thirds. [via letsgodigital]

Despite this, and the enlarged footprint of the XL (161 vs. 133 x 91.4mm x 73.9mm), thickness is actually slightly thinner than the ISD 21.5mm to 21.2mm verses on the DSi. However, it is much heavier at 314g cons CIOs 214g and 218g DSi Lite. Battery life remains the same, however, in three hours.

Other than the bump size, everything else remains the same with a ship date of November 21, scheduled for Japan and a target of Q1 for Europe.

In related news, Nintendo also used the XL ISD to hide some rather alarming results that show the financial benefits now stands at ¥ 69.49 billion euros ($ 770m), almost half of what she managed to the same period last year. Given our economy cataclysmic might be expected, but more worrying was the significant decline in sales of the Wii from April to September which saw 5.75m units sold - a fall of 43 per cent of this period last year.

Sony DSLR-A750 New SLR Digital Camera

Posted: 29 Oct 2009 06:40 PM PDT

Recently we have seen the introduction of various cameras Sony Alpha DSLR already publicly known at the time of introduction, caused by a leak on a registration page Sony. It also talks about the Sony Alpha A750, which to date has not yet been officially launched. However, the evidence indicates clearly that the Sony A750 launch is about to take place. Various rumors floating around on the Internet, for example, the existence of a framework of full Sony sensor with 14.6 effective megapixels. The difference between the Sony Alpha A550 and A850 is too big when it comes to price, and should really be addressed in order to connect with the semi-pro digital SLR segment.

Despite the fact that the Sony Alpha A850 once again the forces of a breakthrough price for digital SLR cameras full frame, it does not seem to have an impact. However, one can imagine a Sony A750 with a 14.6 megapixel sensor and full frame image processing at high speed, to enter and fill the gap and gain a market share potential. To be honest, we’ve been waiting for the launch of the Sony A750 for some time now, but maybe it was postponed for strategic reasons, or it may be that the launch of a camera Alpha without video function is just too risky. The CES 2010 (Las Vegas) is nearby, and perhaps it is time we can bring you more news about a possible Sony Alpha 750 SLR. [via letsgodigital]

Google Updates PageRank of Blogs

Posted: 29 Oct 2009 08:26 PM PDT

Yep, you heard it right. Unlike before, today's blogosphere now doesn't really cringe to the thought of PageRank updates, down or up. Only the posties do and since I'm out of the postie line already, I'm not much affected of the PR update. I checked this blog's PageRank just now and it got a PageRank 3. Surprising. Or not.

So what are you waiting for bloggers? Check your blog's PageRank now!

Unfortunately for me, my other blog is still a zero after it has been whip-lashed by Mr G months ago. My main blog with a new domain due to server problemos is still an N/A. I've learned a lot from that though.

Now I'm not bitter or something about me getting out of the postie line. I knew that one day I'd be a non-earning blogger. And now that's what I am. And all I tell myself now is months from now, I'd be getting a job, a real job, and that's what's important. And being a postie is just a side line, for all of us.

I don't know where I'm getting at. Ok, just check your PageRanks my friends. Good luck!

Face Painting By James Kuhn, Another 365-Day Project.

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 05:22 AM PDT

Earlier we have seen the amazing picture gallery of artist James Kuhn, who painted his face with a different design every day for one year. Now we have '2nd. 365 Transformations', "I had so much fun last year with the first 365 faces, that I am starting another 365 transformations!" - James Kuhn. What we have here are a few of his pictures from the 2nd. 365 Transformations (between 20 May 2009 and 31 Jul 2009), and there are lots of great ideas to be seen and we are sure these too would be much more interesting and amazing like the first series.
