The Sony NEX-5 is available right now in the UK
Posted on June 15, 2010 | No Comments
Don't look now, but a UK retailer has the the brand-spanking-new Sony NEX-5 cameras in stock. We can't say that about a single US-based seller right now so this seems like the best bet if you must be the first kid on the block with Sony's latest camera. Of course this previledge comes at a premium as the camera is selling for £589 ($867), which is a tad more than the US's MSRP of $650. Worth it? Hells yeah it is! You're reading a gadget blog, what side do you expect us to endorse?

The camera makes it possible to see objects "hidden" behind fog or plywood, for example, in the images.

Fujifilm now lets you view 3D pics taken with its REAL 3D W1 on 3D TVs
Posted on April 22, 2010 | No Comments
Do you remember the FinePix REAL 3D W1, the "world's first" digital camera that lets users shoot photos (and movies) in 3D? Announced by Fujifilm back in September 2008, the device, which you can see pictured below, became official one year later (Fujifilm in the US, for example, sells it online for $600).
For those lucky owners of said camera who also plan on getting a 3D TV soon, Fujifilm in Japan has announced [JP] the HDP-L1, a so-called "HD memory card player" (pictured on top of this post). Once plugged into your brand new 3D TV via HDMI, the small device lets you view 3D pictures and movies you made on the W1 on the TV screen (all you need to do is to put an SD or SDHC card with the 3D material into the player).

For women only: Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC-W530D
Posted on April 5, 2010 | No Comments
Sony Japan today announced [JP] a new digital camera that's specifically geared towards women.
