Seagate 4TB GoFlex Review

Seagate made the first 7200 rpm hard drive, the first hard drive with the Fibre Channel interface, the first 15,000 rpm hard drive; and the list goes on and on.  Along with the amount of innovation they’ve brought to the table, they’ve also had some of the highest quality drives as well – consistently ranking higher than comparative drives, and constantly winning various awards from different sources. One feature of this GoFlex drive, is that straight out of the box it can be used on either a PC or a Mac.  No messing around with different drivers and what not – it’s truly plug and play on both systems.

Samsung MV800 Dual View Camera

It builds upon the dual-view line of cameras, but removes the front facing LCD and replaces it with a 3-inch wide flip-out touchscreen display that can be literally be flipped up and shown to those looking into the camera’s lens.  There's a 26-130mm, f.3.3-5.9 5x optical zoom lens, a super-thin built-in flash, and one of those little orange light things that's supposed to help the camera focus in low-light. A 16 megapixel sensor ensures high res photos and HD video capture, all of which is complemented by a 5x optical zoom and dual image stabilization.

GE Power Pro X500 Review

One of the standouts is the X500 bridge camera, which packs 16 megapixels, a 15x optical zoom, an electronic viewfinder, and a lot of manual controls to go along with the usual point and shoot features. It has 2.7 inch LCD. Most bridge cameras fall into the category of “super zoom” though, so that’s a fairly average zoom length. This camera uses four AA batteries instead of a rechargeable battery. The panorama mode works really great. The lens works great for zooms, wide angles, and even macro images.
