Canon’s new PowerShot A-Series – easier and more intelligent than ever

Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 18 February 2009: Canon today gives everyone the power to take great photos, with the launch of the 12.1 Megapixel PowerShot A1100 IS and PowerShot A2100 IS. For the ultimate in easy picture-taking, both models incorporate Canon’s new Scene Detection Technology – available via an improved Easy mode and new Smart Auto mode - for excellent results without effort.

Featuring optical zoom lenses of 4x and 6x respectively, the PowerShot A1100 IS and PowerShot A2100 IS are powered by Canon’s latest DIGIC 4 image processor. This allows both models to deliver fast, responsive operation and outstanding, rich, detailed images. Replacing the A1000 and A2000 respectively, the PowerShot A1100 IS is available in blue, pink or silver, while the PowerShot A2100 IS features a classic black design.

* 30fps VGA movies with sound plus Long Play option

High resolution, high quality lens
Both cameras are capable of capturing incredible levels of detail by combining a 12.1 Megapixel sensor with a high quality zoom lens - allowing you to enlarge or creatively crop images while retaining outstanding image detail. With a 4x optical zoom, the PowerShot A1100 IS delivers a range of flexible framing options, while the PowerShot A2100 IS delivers extra telephoto reach via a 6x optical zoom. Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer technology helps guard photos against the blurring effects of camera shake.

Intelligent and easy to use
Both cameras incorporate two fully automatic modes: new Smart Auto mode and an improved Easy mode. These use Canon’s Scene Detection Technology, which analyses the shooting scene in detail – assessing subject brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue – and selecting from a choice of 18 possible modes to ensure optimal results for any scene.

Also featured are Motion Detection and Face Detection Technology, both of which offer improved performance thanks to DIGIC 4 processing.

Motion Detection Technology prevents blur by registering camera or subject movement and adjusting settings to compensate; Face Detection Technology detects up to 35 faces in a frame and automatically adjusts key focus and exposure settings so everyone looks their best. Canon’s i-Contrast allows users to bring out hidden detail – for example, in areas of shadow - by brightening dark areas in an image without blowing out lighter areas.

A wide range of shooting modes are available in each model, including dedicated Indoor and Kids & Pets modes. These take care of all the technical aspects of shooting in a host of common shooting situations. Users can choose to simply point-and-shoot for terrific results.

Designed for convenience
Both models feature high quality movies, capturing 30 frames per second for smooth results. Frame and review images and movies on the large LCDs – the PowerShot A2100 IS features a 3.0” high resolution screen with five levels of brightness adjustment, and the PowerShot A1100 IS has a 2.5” LCD plus the convenience of an optical viewfinder.

“Canon has raised the IQ of the PowerShot A-Series with the introduction of increasingly clever new technologies,” remarked Rainer Fuehres, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. “The PowerShot A1100 IS and PowerShot A2100 IS are practical, easy-to-use models designed to give anyone outstanding results.”

Technologies Explained

Key Messages:

* AUTO mode is new for 1H09 in February launched Canon Cameras
* Latest Smart AUTO mode now incorporates advanced Scene Detection Technology

* DIGIC 4 enables Smart Auto to be more accurate and give better images.

Introduction
Spring 2009 sees the launch of a new step-change in image quality for Canon cameras. For as long as most users can remember, AUTO mode has been a feature of point and shoot cameras -allowing minimal intervention or expertise needed to achieve satisfactory focus and exposure. Since the introduction and rise of digital photography, there have been many technological advances and additional shooting modes, yet AUTO mode remains the staple favourite of many snappers. Research conducted by Canon also reveals that AUTO is one of the most frequently used shooting modes.

Cameras with IQ
From today Canon are making AUTO mode different. The latest range of Digital Still Camera products launched incorporate a new smart system that uses Scene Detection Technology, which along with other advanced Canon technologies, leads to one of the most comprehensive and clever AUTO modes ever seen on a digital camera. Whilst complex in technology, Smart AUTO still delivers the peace of mind and ease of use for point and shooters that has always been expected from selecting the familiar green icon mode.

With intelligent and integrated use of key functions such as focus, exposure, ISO sensitivity, flash, dynamic range adjustments and Intelligent Contrast Correction, Canon Cameras have never been so smart. Added to these Canon Motion Detection and Face Detection Technology plus advanced Noise Reduction, together with pleasing colour rendition all delivered by the DIGIC 4 processor, mean when selecting AUTO mode on these latest models, users can be assured of the best in image quality even in more challenging shooting conditions.

Smart Auto overview:
Using Scene Detection Technology, Smart AUTO can distinguish parameters allowing the camera to carry out optimum processing for a shot by:

* Detecting people
* Evaluating Distances
* Evaluating Subject and camera movement information
* Analysing Scene Brightness
* Analysing Colour

Press Release:
High on specifications and low on cost, the latest addition to the J-Range: FinePix J20

February 17, 2009 - Fujifilm today announced a new entry-level compact cameras, succeeding the hugely popular FinePix J10 and J15. The FinePix J20 is the latest in the line-up and offers consumers an affordable, but highly-stylish compact camera with point-and-shoot appeal.

With a core specification of 10 Megapixels, a quality Fujinon 3x zoom, Scene Recognition AUTO (SR AUTO), Face Detection and Picture Stabilisation, the FinePix J20 will deliver great images time after time. The FinePix J20 has a 2.7” LCD, both with 230k dots, for crisp, bright images time after time.

Previously only featured on Fujifilm’s award-winning FinePix F60fd, both models feature SR AUTO technology, allowing users to get the best possible results from their camera. All users have to do is frame the shot and SR AUTO intelligently recognises the scene – Landscape, Night, Macro, Night Portrait, Portrait, Backlit Portrait – and selects the ideal setting. There’s also software-based Face Detection technology with auto red-eye removal which identifies faces and optimises focus and exposure to reveal perfect people pictures.

In addition, Picture Stabilisation increases the camera’s ISO setting and associated shutter speed, so that the shutter can open and close much more quickly, thereby freezing moving action without blur - perfect for school sports fields and action shots.

All this technology is packed in to a super-slim and super-stylish 17.4mm body. Its tiny size means you can easily slip it in to your pocket or bag so you’ll always have your camera with you wherever you go.

Latest iPhone 4G concept, wouldn’t we all want one of these

This new iPhone design concept called the iPhone 4G definitely has the wow factor. I like the way the designer Jim Young has widened the screen of this iPhone towards nearly the very edge making the most out of that OLED screen. It’s also thin, just 9mm, thinner than the new Toshiba TG01 :) Nice slick corners all round and speakers at the bottom. Apple should be highly capable to making something like this, because this literally is a MacBook crammed into an iPhone if you get what I mean.

nokia e71

It has been a while since I’ve last heard about Nokia and I thought the company might have gone awol. Well, that’s not the case and it seems like Nokia has finally reached an agreement with AT&T as the E71 remix called the E71x is officially available on the carrier’s website. When I first heard the rumors of an AT&T Nokia E71x, I wasn’t sure about this especially because the rumored price was $99.99 after mail-in rebate, however, the rumors were true (once again) and the remixed Nokia E71x costs only $99.99 after rebate.

The Nokia E71x features a 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G/HSDPA, WiFi, full QWERTY keyboard, full web browser, Bluetooth 2.0, USB, 120MB of internal memory which can be expanded up to 8GB via a microSD card slot, and of course, the Symbian S60 platform. Also, let’s not forget about the 2.4-inch 16 million LCD screen with a 240 x 320 resolution, IM clients like AIM, Yahoo Messenger, and Windows Live, e-mail support like Xpress Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail, and Windows Live Mail, multitasking, and voice dialing.

Sony Launches New E-Series LCD Business Projectors
Designed for use in small to medium venues, the latest E-series Business Projectors deliver high picture quality combined with convenient features at an affordable price
http://www.sony-asia.com/pressrelease/asset/241356/section/pressreleases?site=hp_en_AP_i(Singapore, 13th March 2008) – Sony Electronics Asia Pacific expands its line of video projection systems with the new VPL-EW5, VPL-EX50, VPL-EX5 and VPL-ES5 business projectors. Successor models to the VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 launched last year, all four projectors incorporate a 3-LCD panel system that delivers consistently bright, true-to-life images of up to 2500 ANSI lumens of brightness. Implemented for the first time in the E-series, the VPL-EW5, VPL-EX50 and VPL-EX5 also utilize Sony’s BrightEra™ imaging technology which incorporates an inorganic alignment layer within the LCD panel, making the display panels significantly resistant to damage from UV energy while allowing for increased aperture ratios. As a result, the projectors deliver consistently vibrant, high resolution images with enhanced image detail and contrast, achieving up to WXGA (1280 x 800) and XGA (1024 x 768) resolutions with a high contrast ratio of up to 900:1.

Ideal for use in small to medium-sized venues such as boardrooms, classrooms and at home, the E-series projectors have unique features that allow for flexible, convenient placement where space is limited. Its front-inclined design achieves optimal image placement, while the rear adjuster allows users to customize placement height without obstructing the projected image. A short throwing distance – starting from 2.3 metres when projecting an 80” image – allows projection on a large screen even in a limited space. In addition, the convenient Off & Go function allows the AC power cord to be unplugged once the unit is turned off without having to wait for the projector to cool down. Six picture modes – Dynamic, Standard, Presentation, Cinema, Game and Living – allow the user to select the optimal picture settings based on the image source.

“Sony continues to expand and enhance our range of E-series business projectors to meet the diverse projection needs of our customers. We have created the VPL-EW5, VPL-EX50, VPL-EX5 and VPL-ES5 as affordable data projectors that deliver high image quality combined with robust, convenient features.” says Mr. Hiroshi Kikuchi, General Manager of Display Marketing Group, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific.

The E-series projectors are also easy to maintain, with its long-life filter designed such that filter cleaning is timed to coincide with when the lamps need to be replaced, reducing the number of maintenance sessions required and providing greater convenience to users.

Sony and the Environment

Sony is consistently engaged in a review of our manufacturing operations and business practices to ensure products are developed in an environmentally responsible manner. All four projectors reduce power consumption to below 3 watts in standby mode, one of the lowest standby power levels in the industry today. In addition, the Power Saving mode ensures the unit automatically switches to standby mode if the projector is idle for 10 minutes or more. Halogenated flame retardants are also not used in the production of the projector chassis and printed wiring boards which can generate dioxin, a harmful carcinogen, when burnt.

The Sony VPL-EW5, VPL-EX50, VPL-EX5 and VPL-ES5 business projectors are available in Asia Pacific from April 2008.
