JVC 'Hybrid' Camera Shoots HD Video & Photos Simultaneously
|
|
|
'Hybrid' is the buzzword in cameras this month and JVC's Everio GZ-X900 falls into this category, combining a Full HD camcorder with a 9MP camera. The party trick for the new camera is the ability to shoot Full HD video (1920 x 1080 pixels) and take 5MP photos at the same time. Photos can be shot at shutter speeds up to 1/4000 second without interrupting video recording. In terms of size, it's small and light - like a chunky smartphone - weighing 0.66lbs (including battery and a memory card) and measuring 2.6 x 4.88 x 1.46in. JVC contends that unlike other cameras that do video badly and camcorders that do average photos, the GZ-X900 can do both very well. Well, it would now, wouldn't it?

Dumbest [And Most Expensive] iPhone Yet
|
|
|
Recession aside, we have covered quite a few blinged iPods and iPhones in our time, many of which make Bernard Manning seem like the ambassador of good taste. This one though - possibly the most expensive one yet - takes gaudy to lows only accessible to the likes of Paris Hilton. Designed by luxury Austrian jeweller, Peter Aloisson, the 'iPhone 3G Kings Button' speaks for itself since it boasts a massive 6.6-carat diamond where the usual plastic button resides and costs a whopping £1.76 million. Yes, £1, 760,000 whole pounds. The iPhone itself is clad in 18-carat yellow, white and rose gold, while there's a ring of 138 brilliant diamonds around the outside.
