| Steadicam Smoothee - Take The Rough With The Smoothee |
| First introduced in 1975, Steadicam created the revolution of cinematography by emancipating camera controllers to record animation without conventional dolly-track system. Now, when iPhone 4S is able to capture 1080p video and compete with professional camcorder, Tiffen’s Steadicam Smoothee is a choice for mobile movie makers. |

| Fixie - Lightweight, Sturdy And Wonderful |
| All people, from the most serious to a Netflix maniac, want to raise iPad sometimes. A specialized tablet stand, like Incipio’s Fixie, offers a better stability than Smart Cover but it must be warned you may encounter some difficulties at first. |

| Pentax K-30 With WR 18-55mm Lens |
| Viewfinder uses pentaprism rather than pentamirror for brighter vision, besides 0.92x zoom and 100% coverage are bigger than from any models in this segment. It’s hard to exaggerate how this makes such difference, just like upgrading from 19in screen to 24in one. |
|
| Sony Alpha 37 - Class-Leading Performance (Part 2) |
| With 16MP camera, Alpha 27 resolution’s performance is a little disappointing and lower than NEX-F3’s one (due to translucent mirror) though it, to some extent, surpasses Alpha 35. In basic ISO 100, the device gained a score of 24 (JPEG) and 26 (RAW). These results were still maintained until ISO 1,600 was set then RAW’s result reduced down to 24. |
|
| Sony Alpha 37 - Class-Leading Performance (Part 1) |
| Introduced with NEX-F3 concurrently, Alpha 37 is designed to look more serious. Two models may share common specs but Sony stated that the kinds of buyer would be different. While NEX-F3 aims at home users who are looking for way to record children at holidays, Alpha 37 targets people whose desire is to become photographer rather than to capturing simple photo. |

| Canon EOS 650D - Big Improvements (Part 3) |
| There’re a competition in over-basic-DSLR market ruled by Pentax K-30, Nikon D5100 and Sony Alpha 57. All of them use the same version of Sony’s 16MP CMOS sensor bringing an approximately 16.1x10.7in printout. This figure has been surpassed by 650D’s 17.3x11.5in printout. |
|
| Canon EOS 650D (Part 2) |
| Similar to its every EOS duplicates, 650D uses 63-zone evaluative system featuring auto notifications. Once accustomed to the camera, you can achieve good and quick exposure through your day shooting. You didn’t say that the meter was always right – for bright scenes, it showed 0.5EV, thus for whom need to print pictures, additional exposure adjustment is necessary. |
|
| Canon EOS 650D - Big Improvements (Part 1) |
| Despite bearing resemblance to EOS 600D, 650D is more superior thanks to unique features and ready to bring the brand’s DSLR series a new breath. The camera shows Canon’s ambition to enter video market but can this model satisfy users? I wanted to see whether changes in the camera’s operation would be appealing. |
|
| Canon EOS 650D With 18-55m Lens |
| Canon removed the 3-year-old DIGIC 4 processor to make room for DIGIC 5 used in recent PowerShot models. It accelerates shooting speed from 3.7fps to 5fps, and also introduces Chromatic aberration correction (CA). It eliminates silver linings around hi-contrast details, provided by SLR series for years. However, these benefits are not available at once. |

| Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ62 - Solid Upgrade Of Last Year's FZ48 Model |
| It’s a pity that the smart ideal doesn’t work out this time for Panasonic. While DMC-FZ200 was pricier with 12MP sensor, FZ62’s resolution increased to 16MP. It casted a bad sign for noise levels, though moving from CCD sensor onto what Panasonic calls High Sensitivity MOS sensor can restore the balance. |

| DirectX 10 Game Programming : 3D Primer - Vectors |
| Vectors have multiple uses in 3D graphics, from describing distance and direction to speed. Unlike a point, which has only a position, a vector has both a direction and a length (magnitude), allowing it to be utilized to determine which direction a polygon is facing, which direction an object or particle is heading or just describe its position. |
|
| Vizio E601I-A3 - Vizio’s Value Packed $1,000 HDTV |
| The E601I is large and a bit plain looking, but not unattractively so. The bezel is a flat, glossy black to match the rectangular base, which is sturdy but doesn’t let the screen pivot. There are no notable lights or accents on the bezel besides a metallic Vizio logo on the lower-right corner. |

| Why Choose LED Displays? |
| Most of us interact with screens regularly during any given day, whether we're texting on a smartphone, tapping a tablet, using apps on a smart TV, or checking email on a laptop. And, for the in-office worker, it's safe to say that the roughly eight hours spent working in front of a desktop monitor accounts for the majority of daily screen time. |

| Tritton Pro+ - Easy Headset To Love |
| Should you ask anyone at Tritton what the best way to deliver 5.1 surround sound in a headset is, they'd tell you it's by putting four separate drivers in each ear cup - that's 'true' surround sound, after all. It’s the ethos behind both the flawed AX Pro headset, and this Pro+. |

| Latest Gadgets, Gizmos And Geek Toys – December 2012 |
| The Grippy Padis an incredibly simple idea; it’s a tacky (in a good way) silicon pad to which you can stick just about any item, according to the manufacturer. We’ll admit we had our doubts, but it works brilliantly. It stuck fast to nearly every surface we could find, and even firmly held a heavy iPad 2 in place. |

| Home Smart Home |
| Not so long ago, in order to change the channel on your television, you actually had to get up from the couch, walk over to the set, and turn a knob or press a button. Thankfully, the remote control was born in the 1950s. Some consider this and things like garage door openers early examples of home automation. |

| DSLR – Your Video’s Best Friend (Part 2) |
| One of the many benefits of shooting video with a DSLR is that they’re relatively lightweight and portable. But, like any camera, they’re going to shake the more mobile you are with them and this doesn’t make for recording good footage (unless you’re going for a Blair Witch Project style film). A rig is one of the best ways to stabilize your camera, giving you multiple points of contact when shooting. |
|
| DSLR – Your Video’s Best Friend (Part 1) |
| DSLRs are changing the world of filmmaking. There has always been a wide gap in terms of image quality between what people with a big budget can produce, compared with what people with a low to no budget can make. |

| AOC I2757FM - MHL Support Isn't Enough |
| In light of this, it actually makes sense to have larger screens that still make use of the lower native resolution instead. That way you still get a lot of screen real estate, but the frame rates don’t suffer compared to a 22 to 24-inch panel. |

|
| Apple iPod Touch (2012) - A sleeker, Speedier Touch |
| The new iPhone touch is one of the most elegant devices I’ve ever handled. Measuring an amazing 0.24 inch thick and weighting only 3.1 ounces, it’s almost two-dimensional and weightless. Its increased 4.86-inch length lets it accommodate a super-sharp 4-inch, 1,136 by 640 screen, but its width is the same as that of previous touches (2.31 inches). |
|
| Canon IXUS 500 HS - Small-But-Mighty Premium Compact |
| The metal-bodied camera, while a little unconventional (compared to current trends) in terms of its aesthetics, is nonetheless easy on the eye, as well as feeling reassuringly weighty and robust in the hand. The lack of any sort of grip save for a few raised dots for your thumb to rest on around the back does mean that you’d be well advised to make good use of the wrist strap provided in the box. |

| Samsung WB750 - Small Camera, Big Zoom |
| Design-wise, outwardly the WB750 doesn’t look all that different from its previous incarnation, albeit a little more robust and less plastic-looking, with more refined controls and a comfortable, rubber-coated front grip replacing the WB700’s somewhat less polished appearance. |
