A couple of people have asked me what digital cameras I have in my collection: Canon Powershot S400 - small, compact digital with a 4.0 megapixel CCD and a 3x zoom. I take this with me pretty much everywhere. Great for taking snapshots but not so good for more artistic shots where you need some manual control. Canon Powershot G2 - compact "prosumer" digital camera with a 4.0 megapixel CCD and

I just got the chance to play with a Canon EOS-1Ds digital camera. The $8000 camera is Canon's top of the line digital SLR camera. Some of the great features that the camera has includes: 11.4 megapixel CCD sensor. (Great for those 13x19 prints from your high end inkjet printer) A fully magnesium sealed body, based on Canon's best selling professional EOS-1V film camera - feels as solid as a

I'm a big fan of Canon cameras, both still photography cameras (such as the Canon EOS-10D) and digital video cameras. I recently had the chance to shoot some video using the Canon GL2. The Canon GL2 features a triple-ccd image sensor. There's a separate CCD sensor for the three primary colors, (blue, red, and yellow) so that the video looks clean, crisp, and the color balance is set just

My favorite lens for use on the Canon EOS-10D digital camera is the Canon EF 28mm-135mm f3.5 IS lens. The IS stands for Image Stablizer, which actually allows you to take relatively sharp photographs without a flash in dark conditions. If you flip the stabilzer on (there's a switch on the lens) under certain light conditions, the photographs look a lot sharper than pictures taken without the

This camera is awesome! Check out the Canon EOS 10D digital camera. 6.3 megapixel images. It's an SLR camera so it works with any EF canon mount lenses. And best of all, you can get it for under $1500! I've used the EOS-10D to take several images with it using a 28mm-135mm Image Stabalizer lens and the images are amazing and sharp. (One issue: the Canon EOS-10D has an aspect ratio isn't

Segway, LLC is coming out with a new p-series mini-segway in the next couple of months or so. It's about 40% smaller than the original segway scooter and it goes 10 miles per hour (instead of the 12 mph speed of the i-series which you can buy of Amazon today).

For about $100, you can get a small pager-like device that lets you AOL Instant Messager away from your computer. Well actually up to 150ft away from your computer. The Motorola IMFree connects to your PC using a low power radio to transmit AIM messages to your friends. It's pretty nifty but I can't see me having to IM my friends so much that I need to spend $100 on another gadget.
