Another day another point and shoot…or is it? Sony’s TX5 is a tough as nails digital camera that is ready to go a few rounds with the elements and then some. It can survive in down to 14 degree F, be dropped 5 feet, submerged in up to 3m of water and kicked around in the Mojave’s dust and keep on ticking.
On board is a 10.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, 4x optical zoom with image stabilization, 3-inch touchscreen LCD, a 720p movie mode and 10fps burst mode. It looks like it will be available in a variety of finishes and hit the street this April for $350.

Joby GorillaPod’s have been a welcome new species over the last several years in the digital camera arena. The SLR version is a giant GorillaPod capable of handling the weight of these larger cameras while still allowing for the expressive stylings Joby is known for.
What I’ll mention right away is that without the “sold separately” ballhead attachment, the SLR Gorillapod just ain’t that cool. …Continue reading: Joby Gorillapod SLR Digital Camera Tripod Review

Oh Thanko…have I told you lately that I love you…r insane brand of gadget lunacy?
The boys and girls out at Thanko have truly done it again. They’re offering up a waterproof USB camera that will remain waterproof up to 20 meters deep, which is approximately sixty feet.
It’s got four gigs of onboard memory, USB, stores files in AVI at 736X280 resolution at 20 frames per second. Even better, the battery takes up to two full hours of nonstop running to go blank, so you’ll have plenty of time to learn all its various features.
But yes, you read that right…they’re actually offering up a waterproof diving USB camera. I admit there are plenty of other possible uses for it, but the fact that you can actually use it as a diving camera strikes me as a bit outlandish. But if you ever wanted to hunt gold in the Caribbean, and don’t mind shelling out a hundred and forty bucks worth of that gold in advance, this has GOT to be the way to do it.

Thanko doesn’t exactly have a good record when it comes to their gadgets, folks, but here’s an exciting piece of news–apparently their MP4 viewer is coming to be regarded as a solid buy!
Now that’s exciting enough as it is–it’s almost like saying “Man, this fried cockroach tastes delicious!”–but not only will this little item, the DIGITAL MP4 AudioPlayer AV, play your MP4 videos, but it also serves as a digital camera. It has 8GB of onboard memory, with miniSD cards fully supported, even if they only work with Microsoft XP and Microsoft Vista.
Moreover, it also includes a 4.3-inch screen, a mini remote, two mini speakers and an estimated battery life of four to six hours, making this one of the most portable media viewers ever. Thanko is already selling this device to Japanese customers–word is that the English store will be selling it soon, in case you want to take the chance that this is Thanko’s best product ever.

We’ve all been there at one time or another–just as you’re on your daily walk in the park, your iPod goes dead, or your digital camera runs out of juice, or something you’re carrying just can’t work up enough spark to, you know, work.
Enter the Free Loader, a highly portable device that allows you to recharge any of your portable devices anywhere the sun happens to be shining.
The device works by continually absorbing charge in a set of small onboard batteries. From there, you can tap into the device’s accumulated power at any time to recharge your portable devices. While you’re enjoying the iPod sound or making your phone calls or what have you, the Free Loader is continually recharging its OWN batteries, and holding that charge for as long as three months before it loses the charge.
You can actually get one of these right now over at ThinkGeek.com for the low price of fifty bucks. It’s actually a great idea when you think about it, and you’ll never be without juice again.
