They describe it as "groundbreaking," with the 20-degree slanted lens of the HMX-T10 supposedly aiding sore wrists. I don't know about that, but the rest of the specs make me happy: full HD, for starters. More »

Samsung’s HMX-T10 HD camcorder features a new perspective

Samsung's oddly angled camcorders have gotten plenty of love around these parts for their design and specs, and the new HMX-T10 series is no different. Separating itself from last year's HMX-R10 with a revised design and lens angled 20-degrees (instead of 25), these camcorders can still capture video at up to 1920x1080/60s and stills at up to 4.7 megapixels, while you frame the action on the 2.7-inch touchscreen LCD. Add in optical image stabilization, 10x zoom and the aforementioned full HD capture with a $299 pricetag and you have a healthy competitor to the alternative of the shakycam footage your cellphone probably spits out when these reach the shelves in September. Check the specs in the press release after the break, and shots from every angle of models in black and white paintjobs in the gallery.

Apple Releases new line of small and powerful iPods

Steve Jobs announced smaller and thinner iPods today at Apple’s Fall Music Event. With smaller, new designs for the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano and a thinner, more powerful iPod Touch, Apple is poised to hit the entertainment market in music, movies and gaming like never before. And just in time for the Holidays.

Let’s start with the iPod shuffle. As if it couldn’t get smaller, it does. And the best part is, Apple has brought back buttons along with voiceover to make navigation of songs easier. The Shuffle is a tad larger than your thumb, has a clip, and has over 15 hours of battery life. In 5 colors (Blue, Pink, Green, Yellow, and Silver), the Shuffle will sell for $49 for 8GB.

The biggest change has come in the iPod Nano, which is now 46% smaller and is multi-touch. That means that Apple has dumped the control wheel and gone to complete touch navigation. It’s slightly larger than the Shuffle, which shows how small it really has become. Apple has dropped the video camera feature but has brought in a clip to make it easier to wear (which is great for athletes and runners) , has an FM Radio, Nike Pedometer, and 24 hours of battery life. Comes in seven colors (the same colors as the shuffle plus black and red) and starts at $149.

Lastly, is the new iPod Touch, which has Apple’s blazing A4 processor and Apple’s pioneering HD Retina display with four times more pixels and an ultra sharp 326 ppi and 24-bit color. The iPod also sports the 3-axis gyro control and Apple also announced GAME CENTER, a social networking vehicle which will allow players to take on each other via WiFi in cyberspace playing a wide variety of games including a new game from Epic Games called Project Sword, and action packed RPG adventure with action happening in real time.
Additionally, the Touch will be able to take advantage of dual cameras and FaceTime with which it can communicate to iPhone 4 users and iPod Touch users over WiFi Video conferencing. And the latest iTunes has a great new social network called PING which enables fans to listen to new music from friends playlists, comment socially about it and download them on the spot. The iPod will also enjoy high dynamic range photography and HD video and be able to edit courtesy of the iMovie App.

The new iPod Touch goes on sale next week, just in time for Christmas for $229 / 8GB, $299/32GB and $399/64GB. With gaming, music, and HD movies, the new iPod Touch is going to be a hot item come Christmas.

Canon EOS 60D DSLR ready to rock and roll

Are you in the market for a new DSLR, but am not quite sure on which model to purchase? Well, the new Canon EOS 60D DSLR might just fit the bill, considering it will be able to deliver high-quality digital capture as well as skillful post-processing that will deliver superior end results, not to mention better control over in-camera image processing which translates to less time editing and more time shooting. Apart from that, Full HD video recording capability is also thrown into the mix, with manual audio level control and flexible LCD displays adding to the EOS 60D’s desirability.

One of the things that make the EOS 60D DSLR special would be the inclusion of a three-inch Vari-Angle Clear View LCD display, Creative Filters for easy image manipulation, Full HD video recording with manual overrides, and in-camera functionality for RAW image processing. Meant for advanced amateurs, those who are just starting out in the world of digital photography might want to consider other models such as a Micro Four Thirds camera. Meant to take over where the EOS 50D left off, its large Vari-Angle LCD display boasts anti-reflective and smudge-resistant coatings, making it ideal for composing low-angle or overhead shots without missing a beat.

It’s new Multi-Control Dial also sees a Multi-Controller and Set button located within the Quick Control Dial, helping to streamline camera navigation for vertical as well as horizontal shooting while obtaining a cleaner camera design simultaneously. Canon also heard their customers, and will introduce a locking mode dial that makes camera operation a whole lot more secure as it prevents inadvertent changes to the photographer’s selected shooting mode. Among the other in-camera RAW image processing features include Picture Style, White Balance (WB), Color Space, High-ISO Noise Reduction, Peripheral Illumination Correction, linear distortion correction and chromatic aberration correction. There is also a new Aspect Ratio feature that lets the Live View screen can display cropping lines for 1:1, 16:9 or 4:3

aspect ratios, apart from the regular 3:2 ratio. These cropping lines do tremendously help one to compose images in Live View. Expected to hit the US at the end of September, it will cost $1,099 for a body-only configuration, while a kit version with Canon’s EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens will cost you $1,399.
