Fujifilm Finepix Z700 EXR - For Pet Lovers!!

Get, Slate, Go - I

This is a sort of second coming that ageing film-stars and out-of-work models would long for. The tablet was an all-but-dead product category, one that never really got off the ground sales-wise, despite the big push from Microsoft way back in 2002. But with the iPad, Apple's wiped the slate clean, opening up the flood gates for a slew of contenders that promise to revitalize an almost obsolete form factor, or to say, completely change the way we interact with our computers. Here's a small peek at what on the cards in 2010.

HP Slate :

Squint a little, and you could easily confuse the HP Slate with the Apple iPad. With a similar sleek profile and a large 8.9 inch capacitive display, it almost is. But it runs on the touch-enabled Windows 7 platform. Along with the netbook specs, it supports Flash and has got multi-tasking capabilities which the iPad lacks. It also packs in 2 built-in cameras (front and back) along with video recording. Looks like HP has all he iPad's bases covered, and then some more.

Notion Ink Adam :

Here's one from my country, India. Notion Ink, a small Indian start-up is talking big with the Adam. This Android based slate not only boasts of a sleek design, but also of the 1 GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 chip that acts both as a chip and a graphics card, allowing you to playback videos at 1080p on the 10 onch display. The real genius is he Pixel Qi screen which can switch from backlit LCD mode for web browsing to a low-power electrophoretic reflective mode for power saving (16 hours) and becomes easier on the eyes.

Fusion Garage JooJoo :
This is from the Singapore-based Fusion garage. Other than iPad, JooJoo is the only other slate that is commercially available at the moment. With a 12 inch screen this Intel Atom/Nvidia ion powered tablet promises full Flash HD and a decent interface over the custom Linux platform. But it misses out in many things - No Apps, no multi-tasking, no e-books and a 5 hour battery life.

More models to come in the next post.

Fujifilm Finepix Z700 EXR - For Pet Lovers!!

Posted by Sourav 3:03 AM

The Finepix Z700 EXR from Fujifilm is the first in the class of EXR touch screen digital cameras, combining beautiful styling, Fujifilm's award-winning EXR sensor technology and a gorgeous 3.5" wide 16:9 touch screen.

The Z700 comes with a 12 megapixel Super CCD EXR sensor, 5x optical zoom and ISO levels of upto 1600 at full resolution. It also has the capability to record HD videos at 720p.

The best features of this camera are the following two...

Face Detection : The Z700 allows you to identify the people in a picture by name! Fujifilm’s Face Recognition Technology gives you the ability to pre-program 8 people into the camera. For this, when you take a picture of the person you want to program into the camera, tell the camera who that person is (e.g. son). You also have the option of inputting the category she belongs to (e.g. family) and the date of his birthday. The next time you take a photo of her, the camera will cleverly recognize “son” and optimize the settings to ensure that exposure and focus are best suited to him, rather than the other people in the picture.

Pet Detection : This camera is also capable to detect upto 10 cats and dogs in one photo. There's an extensive list of breeds it can detect, and if your pet is one of them, their face is guaranteed to be properly in focus. But if you have a bird, then.....mmmmm.... sorry. Better luck after a few years I guess.

This is the smartest camera I've known so far. Face detection by name is a great feature. It must be expensive.
