If you are remotely interested in photography then it is likely you will have a digital camera. However, if you have been in the game for a while, you may even have a album or two, or maybe even a shoebox with some real photographs. You remember, the ones that are paper, that you hold. Well, if you want to bring them into the digital age, you could do a lot worse than the Epson Perfection V500 Photo scanner. Check out my review below and also check out TestFreaks which scored this scanner 7.6/10.
Sony Cybershot DSC-WX1 Review
The Sony Cybershot DSC-WX1 offers so much on the feature list. You get a very compact camera, with a 10.2 megapixel sensor. Excellent lens with a 5x optical zoom. Plus features like high definition movie capture and smile detection. However, problems with 16GB memory sticks and noise whilst zooming will not do it any favours. Check out the two videos below, followed by some gallery photos taken with the camera.
Images showing photo taken at widest angle 24mm, then zoomed right in at 5x. Final panoramic photo was taken using the Sweep Panorama feature.
