RE: Samsung Digimax 401 Digital Camera half price.84.99 until 9th nov

Have a look at the Kodak CX7330 for ~£92 (with discount code) from Dixons. It has 3MP and 3X optical zoom.

RE: 1GB SD card bargain

I`ve now been using the card for a day and can confirm it is the 60X Platinum card from Kingmax. I was about to post a review on the ebuyer website and see now that the price has dropped even lower to £79.38 all inclusive.

It works fine in my Palm Tungsten T3 and I have successfully played back movies and music from the card. A real bargain!

RE: 1GB SD card bargain

I ordered a 1GB Kingmax card from www.ebuyer.com on Saturday for £83.91 including VAT and delivery. It should arrive on Thursday :-)

(edit)
Oh, just checked the ebuyer site and price has gone up to £93.99 but there is one customer review reporting that it is a 60X card!!!!! Can`t wait for tomorrow.

RE: Cheap-ish iPods

I just got an email from Richer Sounds today - they have the 20GB iPod for £249.95.

RE: Wireless Networking and Video senders

I have a video sender on top of the TV in the living room and the receiver on top of the TV in the bedroom above the living room. My wireless router is about one inch from the sender and I have two wireless laptops in the living room and one in the bedroom. The video sender/receiver units are about 16 feet apart and separated by one floor/ceiling but no walls.

To add insult to injury I also have a Bluetooth printer, two bluetooth PDAs and the two downstairs laptops also have Bluetooth. On top of that I have two DECT phones and all of this works on the same 2.4GHz band.

I see some TV interference upstairs only if the upstairs laptop is near the imaginary line of site between the sender and receiver. Normally the laptop is about six feet off that line and gives no interference.

HTH,
Tim.

RE: HP 850 camera for ?199

Joe, if you`re talking about shots in the air, won`t focus be at or virtually at infinity? Could you not use manual focus and just leave the lens at or close to infinity and just plan ahead for the shot to be in focus as the plane comes into your pre-focused area?

I appreciate that at 8X magnification the depth of field will be very limited but I imagine aperture will be fairly small for a shot into the sky so that will help compensate.

Just a thought......
