New Nikon D3100

 


Nikon has finally graduated from 720P video and has brought forth a new camera today that will record in 1080P. What’s really interesting is that they did it in the new D3100. I’m not sure if this is going to be replacing the D3000, which is their lowest cost consumer DSLR, but the price-point says no. Some other notable upgrades to the camera are the sensor size, ISO range, and wireless flash control. So here’s the in-depth scoop.

Wireless SD card?????

Toshiba Announces 8GB SD Card with Wi-Fi: Supports Card to Card Transfer & More

Toshiba and Trek Establish Forum to Promote SD Cards Embedding Wireless Communication Functions

Tokyo -- June 22, 2010 -- Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO-6502) today announced the launch of an industry forum to promote a new SD card that integrates Wi-Fi wireless communication with data storage capabilities. The forum, the "Standard Promotion Forum for Memory Cards Embedding Wireless LAN"* has been founded by Toshiba and Singapore-based Trek 2000 International Ltd..

In recent years, as digital cameras have achieved huge rates of market penetration, the need for quick and easy way to share photographs has grown. The new card offers an innovative solution that brings new capabilities to the already very popular SDHC format.

The card is designed to bring Wi-Fi functionality to digital still cameras that have an SDHC slot. Once in a camera, a card can recognize and communicate with the same type of card in another camera (on a one-to-one basis), and users can exchange photographs quickly and easily. It also allows users to upload and download photographs to and from a server without any need for a cable connection or transfers of the memory card.

The new card is compliant with the SD memory card standard, supports IEEE 802.11b/g and has an 8-gigabyte capacity. It can transfer both JPEG and RAW images, the two most widely used digital formats.

Toshiba and Trek will invite the participation of digital camera manufacturers and other interested parties in promoting the card, and in exchanges of technical information toward establishing standard specifications and expanding the use of the card.

Toshiba is a market leader in the development and manufacture of NAND flash memory, which is indispensable for today's personal digital devices. The company seeks to enhance and expand its memory business by proposing new applications for NAND flash memories.

Features of SD card embedding wireless communication functions

  1. The ability to send and receive image data among digital still cameras equipped with an SDHC slot and the card.

  2. Upload and downloads of digital photographs between a digital still camera equipped with an SDHC slot and the card, and in a Wi-Fi environment, and a server.

  3. User management of image transmission and reception minimizes power consumption compared with current solution.

If I were the King of Saudi...


I would buy this 50MP Hasselblad worth 34,000 pounds. This cam can shoot four shots in a row, moving the sensor by one pixel between each shot to record full RGB values at each position.
Then I will edit my photos using this 650,000 pound macbook pro. Oooops, not to forget this 12,500 pound diamond studded mouse
