QuietComfort headphones

What is it with headphones and extra wordy product names? The Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling (still with us?) cans are out today, accompanied by an official press release loaded with an impressive array of vague improvements. There's a new "proprietary acoustic design" for passive noise cancellation, "more sophisticated proprietary electronics" for the active stuff and a "new proprietary ear cushion." Clearly, Bose wants you to know its stuff is uniquely awesome, but of course...

Ricoh CX2 and CX1

Ah, the cruelty of rapid refresh cycles. It was only six months ago that the well reviewed CX1 hit the scene, but already Ricoh is trotting out its replacement in the form of the CX2. You needn't fret though, as the new shooter retains its predecessor's winning features while adding a few goodies of its own. The zoom has gone from 7.1x to 10.7x, taking it comfortably into the superzoom category, continuous shooting gets upgraded from 4 to 5 fps, and face detection and AF have been enhanced....

Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP Waterproof Cam Review

The Fujifilm Z33WP has a small, beautiful case and for some reason, out of many cameras, I choose to bring it on several recent trips. Size does matter when trying to travel light, I suppose. The Price: $180...which is astoundingly cheap for a quality (although not top line) waterproof camera. The Waterproofness: Pretty decently rated to 3 meters. No accompanying shock or coldproofing, so this guy is strickly for pool and tropical snorkeling, not for snow or deeper activity. The Image...

New Product From Canon PowerShots: G11, S90, SX20 IS, SX120 IS, SD980 IS and SD940 IS

Starting with the big boy, you're looking at a 10 megapixel sensor, 2.8-inch vari-angle LCD, 5x optical zoom, RAW support, a hotshoe and an MSRP of $499.99 when it lands in October. Moving on, we've got the $429.99 PowerShot S90, an all-business point-and-shoot model with a 3-inch LCD, 10 megapixel sensor, DIGIC 4 processing...

MSI X-Slim X610 leaked

It may look like MSI’s X-Slim X600, but this is actually the company’s unannounced X-Slim X610.  Ostensibly the same as its early cousin, the X610 differs in switching from Intel’s Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor to AMD’s 1.6GHz Athlon MV-40 CPU.  According to Russian site 3DNews’ review, this cheaper processor will hopefully bring down the whole cost of the X610. That’s pretty important, because they also found that both battery life and performance suffered as a result of the CPU...
