Okay, so I am looking to buy a camera for anywhere between $200-280. What do you guys think I should get? I was hoping to get something that could take really good pictures in the dark and when it was bright outside, something that could record in 1080p, something that could record audio very well along with video that had a good fps rate, something that had good zoom and megapixels and if ti had auto adjust that would be cool. Also if you guys could point out anything that is useful to have in...

Panasonic and Japanese broadcaster NHK have unveiled a prototype 145-inch plasma set with 8k (7,680 x 4,320) resolution. Here's some more info, from Engadget: The world's first self-illuminating Super Hi-Vision TV, it features every pixel of its expected 8K resolution -- 7,680 x 4,320. After working for months on smaller (only 85- or 103-inch) 4K plasmas, the two companies had to come up with an entirely new drive method for the display that works by scanning the pixels vertically to achieve a...

Slim profile, great speed and simply awesome bokkeh makes this the lens that I most enjoy shooting with. I cannot overstate just how impressed I am with the smooth blurring this lens gives for its cost. Essential component to any MFT system.
It has 3 seconds of skip protection, horrible battery life, and these awkward clamps on each side that you had to undo in order to open it. It's supposedly water resistant, but I never attempted to add water to my music listening experience.
With holiday shopping in full swing I am looking into a blu ray player as a gift. Looks like in general they have come down considerably in price (and will continue with 3D players slowly coming out), but IMO a quality blu ray player should have netflix enabled and it should be able to connect via wifi. Looking through the list of players fairly quickly it seemed that so far only the LG BD 570 catches my eye as being the most reasonably priced. I am also assuming that, like DVD player, all blu...

toolbox. It provides nearly everything that's missing in todays mobile experience by opening the door for true multiplayer gaming on the go. With a full keyboard, and even fuller games, I expect to never again be bored by the minutes between work and sleep/
as far as 12x. But after bringing it for a shootout yesterday with my DSLR and SLT owning friends, I found that this camera actually holds its own against today's entry level DSLRs: 1. Exposure bracketing (hear that, Nikon?)! 2. Front and rear dials! 3. Sharp images throughout its zoom range and you don't have to stop down! 4. Its contrast detect kicks DSLRs' ass. 5. Articulate LCD! This one's been having it over the years before DSLRs even dreamt it. 6. Internal zoom and...

From the pictures, it doesn't look like that's the case, but in the press release it says: "Panasonic's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens system camera – complete with a built-in flash." Maybe they mean, built-in hotshoe? You can read it here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/04/panasonic-lumix...
This model has, in my opinion, the combination of "killer features" that set it apart from the other models: -Electronic viewfinder standard. -Flip out & swivel LCD. -Interchangeable lenses, with ability to use any legacy SLR lens through the use of a simple mechanical adapter ring. -Touch screen zoom preview for dialing in manual focus when using legacy lenses. -Useable 720P HD video with stereo audio recording. Really, no other camera has this combination. This camera has pretty...

Well, to be frank, I am not a professional photographer. I just want to buy a good camera to take photos. Since I would like to memorize every second of beauty and touching moment. Those could happen on my way to office, on my way back home, when hanging out with friends and family, whenever I come into a new place. LOL~ any suggestions? Thanks~~
Can I use RCA cables to connect the Panasonic Viera TX-P50G30Y 50" Full HD plasma TV to an amplifier or do I have to take the output from TV's headphone jack to get TV's own speakers muted and volume control to work?
I am finally planning to move from SD to HD in my TV. The TV set I have in my mind is Panasonic Viera TX-P50G30Y 50" Full HD plasma TV. I have understood that the speakers of these flatscreen TVs are not so good so I am also planning to get NuForce Icon2 amplifier and pair of Amphion Helium 410 speakers. My plan is to hide the amplifier in the cabinet and leave it always on so that it doesn't need to powered on or off with remote control (I have a Logitech Harmony 700 and with my current setup...

I'm in the market for a new camera, which one would you get. The Panasonic GF3, Olympus E PL-3, or the Sony NEX-C3. I also considering waiting for the successor to the NEX-5 or for Canon & Nikon's future mirror less options. I want to buy the camera around September. What do you guys recommend?
My family's blu-ray player has a power-off mode, but only if nothing is happening. When a DVD or Blu-Ray goes back to the menu, it assumes the device is still playing and so it does not shut down automatically. Is there a blu-ray player that would let me set my own timer (like my old Panasonic DVD-S27) or shutdown even when I'm on a movie's menu? I know the PS3 has a feature, but my PS3 is the original model and super loud, so I'm looking for something that consumes less power and is quieter.
So I Want to set up my PS3 with my Yamaha 5.1 surround sound 5.1 home theater package. I was wondering what level of audio quality this is, and whether or not I should set up an HDMI from my ps3 to my audio receiver then run an hdmi out to my tv or run hdmi from my ps3 to tv then from my tv to my audio reciever. I just bought a new 50" panasonic viera plasma with the THX mode. Model Model: TC-P50G20 | And my audio receiver is a yamaha natural sound av receiver rx-v367. What is the best way...

Now I have a few questions(Sorry, this is my first HDTV, I know, some of these may sound dumb): I was wondering which technology is better at the present moment, HDMI or component cables, and if HDMI is indeed better, which is the best HDMI cable I can get. I was also trying to get a blu-ray player, I was thinking of getting a PS3, how does the blu-ray quality on the PS3 match up to other players, also, should I get an HDMI cable for my PS3 if I decide to go that way? thanks so much for your...
