A great camera and it’s waterproof!

Ever do a double-take when you see a low price? You read the specs and assume that something has to be wrong.
That may be your first reaction to the Brother HL-2170W laser printer. How can it be rated at 23 pages per minute, have built-in Wi-Fi, and sell for $149.99?
What’s the catch?
There’s no catch! The best news: The Wi-Fi feature is a breeze to set up and worked perfectly.
You’ll be able to use the Brother HL-2170W printer simultaneously with a USB-attached desktop computer and a notebook connected wirelessly.
If you’ve ever tried to configure an inexpensive printer to handle both simultaneously, you can appreciate the problem-free installation.
The Brother HL-2170W is a compact, budget-friendly monochrome laser printer that is ideal for printer sharing.
In addition, it includes 32MB of memory standard for faster processing and PCL6 emulation for greater compatibility. Up to 23ppm Up to 2400 x 600-dpi resolution; print speeds are impressive for such an inexpensive printer.
A 10-page text-and-graphics test document prints in 34 seconds, usually it takes a reasonable 19 seconds to go from cold start to printing a page.
The printing costs are competitive with other low-cost laser printers.
To keep the costs in check, you should follow up the low-yield starter cartridge with the $64.99 Brother HL-2170W toner cartridge (2.5 cents per page) rather than the $44.99 TN-330 toner cartridge (3 cents per page). Add in the price for replacing the $99.99 DR-360 drum approximately every 12,000 pages and the per-page costs increase to 3.3 cents and 3.8 cents, respectively.
Printing speed and Wi-Fi make the Brother HL-2170W an unusually good bargain!
The Brother HL-2170W it’s now available for US$ 96.98 (that’s 68% off the usual price)!

A pinky thermal-dye printer, the Canon Selphy CP760 is designed to print photos at an assortment of sizes up to 4 by 8 inches, although many (if not most) people will wind up using it exclusively for 4-by-6s.
Like most of Canon’s dedicated photo printers, it can print from a computer, from your memory cards via the card slots, a PictBridge camera or its built-in infrared port.
Canon also sells an optional Bluetooth adapter ($49.99 direct) for printing from phones and other Bluetooth devices.
Compatible memory cards with the Canon Selphy CP760 include SD Memory Card, miniSD Card, SDHC MemoryCard, miniSDHC Card, MultiMedia Card, MMCplus Card, MMC mobile Card, HC MMCplus Card, RS-MMC, Compact Flash Card, Microdrive, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo
The LCD for the built-in menu and for previewing photos is 2.5 inches and the menu offers a few editing commands, including red-eye reduction, the ability to print a color image as sepia or black and white, and an image optimizer that you can turn on or off.
The Canon Selphy CP760 output is solidly in the true-photo-quality range. Colors tend to be a little punchy rather than realistic, but no more so than many people prefer.
As with most thermal-dye output, the photos are reasonably waterproof and scratch resistant, thanks largely to a protective coating the printer adds as the last step in printing.
You don’t have to worry about passing a batch of photos out for people to look at and having them come back ruined.
Canon also claims a reasonably long lifetime for the photos, at 100 years for photos kept in dark storage, as in an album, 30 years for photos kept behind glass, and 10 years for photos exposed to the air.
Mother’s Day is May 10th, order now the Canon Selphy CP760 and save up to 50%!
Design Archos is promoting the Archos 5as a Wi-Fi Internet tablet, but its chromed plastic enclosure and 5-inch touch screen look more like a luxury GPS unit. In fact, for an extra $129 you actually can use the Archos 5 as a relatively sophisticated in-car GPS system. Unlike its predecessor, the 605 WiFi, the Archos 5 is controlled almost entirely by its touch screen, with the exception of a power button and volume rocker on the top edge of the device. A 3.5mm headphone output is located midway up on the left edge, making the gadget more awkward to hold than the 605 WiFi. Thankfully, a built-in kickstand folds out from the back of the Archos 5 for hands-free viewing.
The Archos 5 measures 5 inches wide, 3 inches tall, and 0.5 inch thick (or 0.75 inch thick for the 120GB and 250GB versions), making it not much bigger than the 605 WiFi. Despite its similar size, Archos was able to squeeze an extra half-inch of screen onto the Archos 5 by removing the redundant physical controls found on the company’s previous players and placing the integrated speaker on the right edge of the device instead of the front.
Features
The Archos 5 has plenty of features to brag about, including music and video playback, a photo viewer, Opera Web browser, Flash 9 video and game support, a PDF reader, e-mail support, and an integrated video download store. You also get optional support for digital video recording and output through the latest Archos DVR Station, and support for 3G and 3.5G HSDPA wireless connections through the use of USB modem dongles offered by your mobile carrier.
Despite the manufacturer’s protest that Archos 5 shouldn’t be categorized as a mere portable video player, video playback is the Archos 5’s strongest feature. Out of the box, the Archos 5 offers support for AVI, WMV, MPEG4, and Flash video content with no transcoding necessary for videos sized at or below 640×480. Although Archos makes no mention of it, we were happy to see that DRM-protected WMV videos from Amazon’s Video On-Demand service played on the Archos 5 with no problem. For an extra $20, you can outfit the Archos 5 with a high-definition software plug-in to enable 720p video playback from WMV HD, MPEG4, or MPEG-2 files (including VOB and DivX formats). To play h.264 videos, you’ll need to throw another $20 at the Archos 5 for a Podcast media plug-in, which also enables AAC audio playback.
The Archos 5 is clearly more than a portable video player, but it is no more deserving of the Internet Media Tablet moniker than Apple’s iPod Touch. Like the Safari Web browser used on the iPod Touch or iPhone, the Opera Web browser included on the Archos 5 provides an above-average mobile Internet experience, but there are some blind spots. Because the Flash 9 support on the Archos 5 exists outside of the Opera Web browser as an independent application, many Web sites and services are incompatible. During our tests, we found that simple Flash video sites such as YouTube worked fine, while sites such as Hulu, CNET TV, ABC, and Comedy Central, stalled the browser or played only the preroll advertising associated with the video.
An e-mail application is also included with the Archos 5, however, at the time of this review the e-mail program launches with a disclaimer that it is still in beta development.
Get your hands on the Archos 5, now 14% off at US$ 388.50!
Lets face it, there’s a downside to the consumer electronics revolution. A proliferation of black or silver boxes that live under the omnipresent TVs bring with them a multitude of separate remote controls; one to change the volume of the stereo, one to turn on the TV, one to control the DVD player, another for the TiVo; the list goes on.
The Logitech Harmony 880 puts you in control of your entire audio-video system with just one button. It’s home entertainment the way it should be–simple.
Optimized for complicated HDTV and PVR systems, the Logitech Harmony 880 helps you tame tough configurations like switching your television between video aspect ratios depending on the program source. The interactive color display lets you quickly choose a 16:9 ratio for movies and HDTV, or a standard 4:3 ratio for basic television programming.
The new remote control models from Logitech’s Harmony line. Their newest consumer remote, the Logitech Harmony 880, departs from the norm and adds a 128×160 pixel full color LCD display and docking cradle to recharge the included Lithium-ion battery. The entire remote has been completely remodeled by Logitech’s design team. This model is the culmination of the company’s influence and experience being put to the test in an effort to improve upon the past Harmony designs and ergonomics.
The remote’s LCD screen goes to sleep automatically, but is awakened “automagically” when the remote is picked up or when the GLOW button is pressed. The contrast is a bit high on the display, and it cannot be adjusted, but all text appeared to be reasonably easy to read. The Volume, Channel and Navigational buttons are quite easy to reach with the thumb and are very well laid out. Selecting from the eight activities or user controls via the LCD screen’s side buttons is also very easy to do,
The baseline?
Simply press an Activity button, such as “Watch TV” or “Listen to Music,” and your Harmony Remote automatically sets up each of the devices required for that activity. Sleek docking station that remote fully charged Programmable with Windows PC or Macintosh computer / USB Cable included 53 top-mounted hard buttons and 8 on-screen activity buttons 2 MB non-volatile flash memory.
Yes, that’s right, the Logitech Harmony 880 comes with programming software for both Windows and Mac OS X!

Ultrazoom compact cameras have come a long way, really long if you consider that two out of three of these sport a 24x zoom lens.
This means, in 35mm jargon, an equivalent 26-624mm zoom. The Olympus SP-590UZ, goes even further, up to 26x (676mm equiv.)!
All three have image stabilization and vibration reduction features; they all reach the 12 megapixel peak and may give you something to think about when choosing your next camera: an ultrazoom compact with DSLR-level features.
Which is the best? Fair bet… each one has its own strong points, so check out for yourself!
The Olympus SP-590UZ: with a 26x optical zoom lens covering a remarkable 26-676mm focal length range, 10fps sequential shooting, and a 12 Megapixel CCD, nothing can escape the scrutiny of the SP-590UZ.
Photographers using the latest Olympus Ultra Zoom can further increase the power of its lens to 130x using the optional TCON-17N Teleconverter.
Luckily, Dual Image Stabilisation is on hand to protect photos from blur caused by camera shake, and Shadow Adjustment Technology has been included to bring out details hidden in darker areas of the picture.
So when photographers view their results on the camera’s 6.9cm/2.7†HyperCrystal II LCD, they know that they’ll be picture perfect.
The Pentax X70 12MP CCD Digital Camera with 24x Optical Triple Shake Reduction Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD is an all-purpose digital compact camera featuring a high-magnification optical 24x zoom and 6.25x digital zoom lens.
The camera has approximately 12 effective megapixels and utilizes a 1/2.33-inch CCD image sensor.
Its lens focusing distance is 4.6 - 110.4mm (approx. 26-624mm in 35mm format) with an aperture range of F2.8(W)-F5.0(T). The X70 is able to record up to 1280 resolution video and has an ISO sensitivity of up to 6400.
It has Motion Blur Reduction, Hi-sensitivity anti-shake mode (Digital SR), and Movie shake reduction mode (Movie SR).
The camera has a 33.6 MB built-in memory with support for SD/SDHC Memory Card expandibility.
The Pentax X70 has a 2.7-inch 230K AR coating LCD display and an electronic viewfinder (200K dots) and auto and manual focus, macro shots, exposure control, exposure compensation, scene mode, playback mode, shutter speed of 1/4000-1/4 seconds, built-in flash and “Red-eye” reduction. The Pentax X70 is powered by a rechargeable D-LI92 lithium-ion battery, measures 110.5×82.5×89.5mm and weighs 390g (without battery and SD memory card).
The Nikon Coolpix P90 12.1MP Digital Camera with 24x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 3 inch Tilt LCD is among the first Nikon models to advertise the manufacturer’s “four-way” Vibration Reduction image stabilization concept. In addition to optical/mechanical image stabilization, the Nikon P90 utilizes motion detection (which detects subject motion and adjusts shutter speed and/or ISO accordingly), reduced-res high-sensitivity shooting at up to ISO 6400, and Nikon’s Best Shot Selector (which “automatically takes up to 10 shots while the user presses the shutter, and saves the sharpest image”).
Shooting Modes for All
Two new shooting modes on the P90 seek to expand the camera’s utility for different user groups. Aimed at soccer moms and serious shooters alike, the Nikon P90’s Sport Continuous mode captures up to 45 reduced-resolution shots at an outrageously fast 15 fps. Family photographers are also served by a new Smart Portrait System, grouping several auto exposure technologies (including blink detection, smile detection, face detection, and red-eye reduction) for easier access when taking shots of friends and family.
In the interest of enthusiast appeal, the P90 also packs in the typical P/A/S/M manual exposure modes, as well as an electronic viewfinder.
The Nikon P90 weighs in at just over a pound so it didn’t feel like we were shackled to a mid-level DSLR. The weight reduction can be attributed to the Nikon P90’s plastic body. It was obvious that Nikon sacrificed a little structural integrity in exchange for additional controls and features.
Articulating Screen: in this case, though, the big news is that the P90’s screen is articulating (Nikon calls it “Vari-Angle”), allowing the display to be tilted “as much as 90 degrees upward or 45 degrees downward,” according to the manufacturer.
The best three ultrazoom compact cameras around: now it’s up to you to choose!
