LensAlign PRO

 

 

If you're dealing with shallow depth of field photography, you've probably come across certain photos that you swear were focused on the right point, but seem to be slightly out? That's where LensAlign from Michael Tapes Design comes into play,

They've developed the LensAlign Focus Calibration System.

This is a tool that will allow you to set your Microfocus adjustment extremely accurately on higher-end DSLR cameras (ie. the Canon 5D Mark II etc), we hope to get our hands on a review unit it shortly, so stay tuned!

Cannon PowerShot SX130 IS

Well it's obviously that time of year, Canon are announcing products left, right & centre.

This time around we're focusing (pun intended) on their compact range of consumer cameras... bit of a tongue twister that one, anyhow the new PowerShot SX130 IS and PowerShot S95 as shown below are targeted towards two different markets, but both are sure to be excellent value for money, and we hope to be able to review both of these new compacts at some point after their September release date.

Astone AP-380DT

We were so impressed with the former “top of the tree” media player, the Astone AP 360T, that we leapt at the opportunity to review the latest and greatest from www.astone.com.au.  The new flagship Astone Media Gear AP 380DT Media Player with Dual Tuner is the next generation player which we have got the scoop on.  This product is so hot off the assembly line that the manual has not even been put together in written format yet.

If this new model follows in the innovative footsteps of the previous one, then we are expecting to be very impressed as we have just remembered that the old model AP 360T fair kicked up a storm and set new records in the “hits” department.

So let’s put the two models side by side and see what new things Astone have done.

Starcraft 2 - Wings of Liberty

The biggest game to hit stores this summer is without a doubt Blizzard’s latest creation and sequel to the 1998 original hit, Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. I got a chance to play through each of the facets of this behemoth of a game and this is what I have to say about it.

Casio G1

Ever since the G1 was announced my adventurous side stirred: here’s a Point & Shoot camera that will go the rugged distance with you. Over land or under water. And it will give you some very memorable images if you remember to give the lens a wipe every now and then to clear the dust. Or just rinse it.

Yes, the shock resistant G1 is yet another ‘funtographic’ device from the Casio stable and as we’ve observed in previous reviews, Casio puts a lot of fun features into their compact cameras. Last time we reviewed the super high speed member of the Exilim tribe and today we have a quick look at the G1.

Navigon

When I was offered the opportunity to review the Navigon 2410/2510 I had mixed feelings about this modern technology. When I was young I had been taught a simple method to find my way. And my intuition has never failed me, otherwise I wouldn't now be sitting at home typing this story! To be honest: often I had to ask someone, look at maps... it's not only intuition that got me home...

After taking these little tools for some thorough test drives, bicycle rides, and walks I am convinced that this new technology can be an excellent addition to my own intuition in finding my way. Especially when driving, it helps me concentrate on the traffic. I don't have the added stress of looking for the right direction... It also saves me money in the gas bill, because it keeps telling me which way to go to reach my destination.

The ease of use, it's size just right, multimode - and despite the glitches I came across - I can recommend you to put this Navigon 2410/2510 on your list when you want to choose a new gps navigation set. It may well turn out to be your choice, because of its value for money.
