With the latest release of DxO FilmPack version 2 from DxO Labs you now can not only add the style and beauty of classic films to your images, but you can now add additional traditional film effects giving you more capabilities to replicate the look and feel to real film.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 review at LetsGoMobile : The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is a mobile phone with a large touchscreen, a full QWERTY keyboard, integrated GPS antenna, Wi-Fi, HSDPA and much more. Thanks to all these functionalities, the cell phone is widely applicable. The Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system ensures easy synchronization. In general, this software is a tad more enhanced, which is noticeable on, for example, the agenda function, Windows Media Player and the Internet Explorer. Recent improvements carried out in Windows Mobile 6.1 enhance the user’s ease.• Read the full Xperia X1

Sony Alpha underwater housing review
Posted on December 15, 2008 - Filed Under Digital | Leave a Comment | 1 views
Sony DSLR-A350 housing test : The Sony Alpha 350, put in the market by Sony, is a digital reflex camera for the advanced photographer. Professionals will probably find the speed of 2.5 frames per second too slow. However, underwater photography does not require extreme speed since you nearly always make use of flashes and you also have to wait for the flash batteries to recharge before the next shot is enabled. Sony uses Carl Zeiss lenses for the Sony Alpha 350. The Sony Alpha SLR camera is light with its 582 grams, as well as compact and has a pleasant hand-fit. The CCD sensor offers 14.2

The holidays are upon us, and here you are again, not sure what to get that far-away loved one. Want to send someone all the pictures of your vacation, or update the grandparents on what the kids are doing, Kodak-style?
