Here are a few of the newest digital cameras from top companies for you to compare--but don't worry; we've already done the heavy lifting! Upgrade your current camera or get a fresh start with one of these cool, easy to use point and shoots...the features are practically endless.
Canon PowerShot SX200
Combining easy operation with high end specifications, the SX200 is the camera that’ll make your neighbors want to keep up with the Joneses. Its 12.1 megapixel resolution, 28 mm wide angle lens and 12X optical zoom make capturing even the smallest detail easy, and with HD movie capability you can show your video graphical genius right on your HDTV at home, whether your guest want to see it or not! Face Detection Technology, Blink Detection (which alerts you if your subject closed their eyes for the shot) and the wide LCD screen are three more reasons to trade up for this model that’s as powerful as it is user-friendly.
Canon USA | Price: $349.99
Casio Exilim EX-H10
If you prefer a slim, lightweight design with your optical zoom, the Casio Exilim is a major contender for your next digital camera purchase. Complete with 12.1 megapixel resolution and an “ultra wide” 24mm lens (comparable to a 35mm lens on a film camera), this new release packs tons of features into a super thin .95” body, and the Advanced Dynamic Photo function does more than ever. Long battery life and a history of design and technological excellence add to the reasons to consider this travel friendly choice whether you're going across the globe or across town.

Pentax Optio P80
Even the smallest hand movement at the wrong moment can really ruin pictures. If you’re tired of your shots getting blurred, grab the Optio P80—its Shake Reduction Technology stabilizes pictures so you always get your shot. We wish we could translate that stabilization technology into other areas! Add that to the host of features including 12.1 megapixel resolution, wide angle lens, Fast Face Detection and Smile Capture and you’ve got a camera that makes the best of any picture, be it portrait or movement shot…it may just be a better photographer than you are!
Pentax | Price: $199.95
Sony Cyber-shot WX1/B
A leader in digital camera technology, this new Sony delivers on all levels. Special features like low light settings promise to reduce grain by up to 50%, and the 2.7 LCD screen lets you make full use of the high speed burst and Sweep Panorama fuction--the latter lets you point, click, and slide your lens across any vista to achieve panoramic views. If you’re unsure about which auto setting to use to really capture the moment, the WX1/B will decide for you: its Intelligent Auto feature optimizes the camera’s settings based on your environment, meaning all you have to do is be there to take the shot.
Sony | Price: $349.99
Nikon COOLPIX S710
The COOLPIX S710 takes quality and ratchets it up a notch. Its 14.5 megapixel resolution approaches the pinnacle of technology in a consumer point and shoot, but this Nikon gives you so much more than just ridiculous resolution. 3.6X wide lens optical zoom, a three inch anti-glare LCD screen, Scene Auto Selector and Smile Mode all combine with the stunning resolution to add up to a complete package of digital camera heaven. There’s even an in camera Red Eye fix, and considering what you can get for the price, this Nikon just might give you the most bang for your buck!

iPad Costs
iSuppli Corp., which generally waits until it can actually get the new Apple product to estimate its production cost, has decided to forgo hands on examination in the case of the iPad. They have--from just looking at it, it's amazing--decided the base model only costs $219.35 for Apple to produce. According to AppleInsider the base model won't make Apple anywhere near as much profit as the 32 GB model with 3G wireless priced at $729...that one reportedly costs only $287.15 to produce.
That's some profit! No wonder Apple execs have said they'd stay nimble on pricing! With demand for the iPad under scrutiny and this week's news that the "Take Picture" hint was removed from the Address Book app in the iPad simulator even we are starting to wonder if it's not worth waiting for the 2nd generation.
Trust us, it's painful to say.
Google Challenges the Internet
"Think Big" indeed. This time, Google is setting its sights on the very way we transmit information and asking people from around the country to nominate their city or state to be included in an ultra-high speed open internet network of Google's building. Set to include anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 people, this network will boast 1GB per second fiber optic connections that Google reps are hoping will bolster developer creativity, test new ways to build the infrastructure and challenge internet service providers to band together to create a better internet instead of shunning change to maintain their bottom lines.
This is huge news, and we hope our city is on the receiving end of the new interwebs...here's the official Google Blog if you want to read it all in detail or submit your community.
Dogs on Twitter
From the country that's given us karate and karaoke comes the newest iPhone app: that's right, Japan's Index Corp. has announced the release of "Bowlingual," the dog emotion translator. Latest in a long line of technological advances, this app (to be released this summer) analyzes Fido's bark and puts it into one of six categories, like "needy." Or "happy." Then it adds a caption based on the emotion and allows you to snap a photo of your pooch in its current mood; as if that weren't enough it can modify that photo to enlarge your pet's eyes...oh...so cute.
Seriously, the app is set to sell for $5 and will post your pet's barks to Twitter. Silly? Yes. Fun? Probably!!
Will you let your dog speak his mind? Tell us here.
