Samsung H200 video test

A Great Camcorder with many great features
-Great video quality in all modes, 60 frames per second really helps here.
-Stills from video look great for prints up to 6x9 (1080i) or 4x6 (720P).
--- If you've ever tried to capture lightning in pictures, this is a time saver)
-Great battery life, around 2.5 hours. Compare that with Canon, Sony or Panasonic.
-Great for close up work and "low light" videography
-decent optical stabilization along with 20x optical zoom

Download Format Factory! Most editing programs have trouble with the AVCHD format and this "FREE" program converts your camera video to your format of choice. You can choose file size and frame rate. This will make your life so much easier. "This may be Windows only". Google it!

cons: In 720P mode a new file is created every 20.5 minutes which results in a small but noticable gap in your recording. If you plan on using this to made DVD's or web video, 420P (720x480) will do nicely and last over an hour before a new file is created. Probably more often in 1080i but most of my shooting is in 720P.

Our opinion
Samsung H200 - good camera but some build quality complaints.

Audi A6 3.0 TDI Avant consumer review - interior and exterior design, build quality and technical specifications

Audi A6 3.0 TDI Avant is a nice looking car

Design
Audi uses ‘Avant’ as other car makers might use ‘Sports Tourer’ or ‘Sportwagon’. The idea is to suggest load-carrying practicality laced with a rakishness suggestive of an adventurous lifestyle. The Audi A6 Avant here is the latest of this Audi breed.

The A6 range entered its seventh generation back in February, with much aluminium in its make-up, a 70kg weight loss, a reconfigured transmission layout bringing the front wheels further forward, and powertrain revisions to reduce the official CO2 outputs. The idea was to create the look and feel of an A8 but in a smaller size, and with a multimedia system of almost sci-fi sophistication.

BMW 3-series F30 test drive and review

BMW 3-series F30

3-series 30 specifications
Here is how the most popular BMW of all time will look in the next few years. Considering the old model was a great success, BMW designers didn't change radically the profile of the car and it still keeps clean sporty profile with some interesting design features.

BMW probably wanted to bring the design of the new 3 series more in-line with the look of its other new cars, mainly the 5, 6 and 7 Series. BMW 3 F30 will have a hybrid model in it's range as well naturally aspirated straight-six engines from 325i/330i are replaced by BMW's new N20 turbocharged inline-four two liter engine already introduced in a lot of BMW models. Top of the range 335i has the same N55 engine as E90. Diesel powertrain is still two liter inline-four N47 engine which is optimized for the new car.

Asus Eee Pad Slider specs and video review | phone review

Asus Eee Pad Slider specs and video review

Pros: Will run the latest Android OS and Adobe Flash
Full slide-out QWERTY keyboard
10.1″ IPS touch-screen with resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels
2 cameras (5 Megapixel camera with LED flash and 1.2 Megapixel front-facing camera)
1080p HD video playback support
Cons: Bulky
No trackpad
6-hour battery life isn’t optimal (the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 can get up to 10 hours and the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer can get up to 16 hours when connected to the keyboard)
Summary: It seems to me like this tablet might be a flop: serious typers fans can get the reasonably-priced Transformer and keyboard, and those who care more about appearance can get the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and its case with the built-in Bluetooth keyboard that comes out later this month… The Slider is a strange in-between: the sliding keyboard adds bulk, but there’s no trackpad.

2012 Audi A6 test drive and review

2012 Audi A6

Audi A6 is one of the best luxury mid-sized sedans on the luxury car market. It offers good ride, impressive dynamics and plenty of extras for a car in the business class. Earlier this year a new generation of A6 came out and it's been a hit in showrooms since. The new model is a big threat to its rivals BMW and Mercedes.
The interior of the new Audi A6 is very spacious and comfortable with some design elements from the A7. For 2012 Audi offers plenty of engine choices for the A6 including a hybrid.

Everyone has an arch rival - and for the Audi A6, there's no greater nemesis than the BMW 5-Series. It's never got the better of its opponent, though. It's never looked as good, never driven as well, never had the same want-it factor.

iPhone 4S product review

iPhone 4S product review

iPhone 4S review

The updated version of the iPhone 4 has a dual core A5 chip which is currently the most powerful iPhone processor.
Two cores in the A5 chip deliver up to two times more power and up to seven times faster graphics. And you’ll feel the effects. Fast. iPhone 4S is quick and responsive, which makes all the difference when you’re launching apps, browsing the web, gaming, and doing just about everything. And no matter what you're doing, you can keep on doing it. Because the A5 chip is so power-efficient, iPhone 4S has outstanding battery life.
iPhone 4S is great for gamers. The A5 chip pushes graphics up to seven times faster. So games run smoother and they’re even more realistic. And graphics-intensive apps perform even better.

The camera
This just might be the best camera ever on a phone. And with all-new optics, it just might be the only camera you need. Because behind every shot, you’ve got 8-megapixel resolution and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. Not to mention an improved backside illumination sensor, excellent auto white balance, advanced color accuracy, face detection, and reduced motion blur. It all means that no matter how many people, how much light, and how much action you capture, everything looks exactly as it should. And just wait until you see the photos.
Shoot stunning 1080p HD video everywhere you go. With all-new optics, the light is always right, the color is always vivid, and everything will look even better than you remember. Video stabilization steadies shaky shots. And you can edit video right on iPhone and share your lush life as fast as you shoot. Record amazing 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second. The advanced backside illumination sensor and larger aperture let in even more light. Improved auto white balance makes color even more accurate. And temporal noise reduction helps you take great videos in low light.

iOS
With every iOS advancement come even easier ways to do everything. That’s what makes iOS years ahead of anything else. iOS 5 leaps even further ahead, bringing over 200 new features to iPhone 4S.

iCloud
iCloud is the easiest way to manage all your stuff, because it manages it all for you. iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, mail, contacts, calendars, documents, and more. And wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. It’s automatic, effortless, and seamless.

iPhone 4S video review

The design is the same as before, meaning a 3.5-inch screen with the high-res Retina Display, but an upgraded A5 dual-core processor.
iPhone 4S is the first phone to intelligently switch between two antennas to transmit and receive, so call quality is better. It also doubles the maximum HSDPA data speeds to 14.4 Mbps.8 Which means faster connections, faster loading and reloading, and faster downloads. And iPhone 4S is a world phone, so you can use it almost anywhere. Whether you’re a GSM or CDMA customer, you can roam GSM networks in 200 countries around the world.

What we think about it?
When the iPhone 4 first came out it wasn't as good as it should have been. This update was a must for the iPhone 4 and now it is really worth the money.
