Are you an excitement hunter that runs around in different places from land to water? You want and need a video camera to record those moments? The Kodak Playsport HD Waterproof Video Camera is one video camera that has you in mind.

Like the other video cameras in the market, the Kodak Playsport Zx3 packed with the usual high quality features. It comes with the latest full 1080p HD, image stabilization and ability to take 5MP still pictures. The memory slot is made to be expandable and you can record up to 10 hours of HD video by buying an extra SD/SDHC (up to 32 GB).

A plus point is its LCD Glare Shield feature which is specially designed to let you see your subject in reflective outdoor situations. Still in the sun, but avoiding the sun-glare on the screen which most gadget screens are subjected to.

Furthermore, it is waterproof for up to 10ft. Plunge it into the water and pull it out whilst still recording those funny moments under water clearly. Not to mention its durability. Give it to your kids and worry less because it’s durable design is pretty shock proof and hardy.

What we really love about this camera is the extra accessories that is included. It comes with ALL the cables (HDMI, USB, and Component video cables) usually needed to be connected to your other media projection devices e.g. computer, HD TV.

If you are always on the road the Casio Pocket Viewer PDA is probably the thing you need to keep up to date with your emails, and news and messages from your work and home. For the price of 100 dollars, there are many features that make this device a valuable one. There is a proprietary operating system, 4 MB of memory on which you can store docs and pics. The display is monochrome and has 16 gray levels, having 4 bits and these are on a 3 inch screen. By touching the screen, it will do the task it was given. The speed of the processor is of 20 MHz.

Unfortunately the Casio Pocket Viewer PDA does not have an incorporated MP3 player, so you have to do without it. It doesn’t have a voice recorder either, but this might not be necessary for you. Also, the digital camera is not included in the package. However, as a rule, the cameras that you can find on the PDAs are not really high quality, so if you need professional pics, you should get a camera anyway.

The accessories that are included in the Casio Pocket Viewer PDA are the Stylus, the protective cover and the charger cradle. The device is lightweight and small, and can store up to 8000 contacts, 8000 things to do in your schedule. You can enter all your expenses in the device, as it supports 6000 expenses.

The Casio Pocket Viewer PDA can be bought at a reasonable price, so if you are not dying to have an expensive PDA, the Casio Pocket Viewer PDA is just great. It lacks a few cool features such as the MP3 player, the camera, but all the other features make this device a fine thing to have.

What I love about the range of pocket camcorders, like the Flip Camera, that are available today is their sheer versatility and usability. It used to be that you had a big clunky video tape machine that you wandered around with stuck to your shoulder. They were good at the time and were used for years in electronic news gathering roles. If you were a little bit inventive you could hand hold it for low shots or even put it on the ground or hang it out of a moving vehicle. But even this could be seen as severe limitation compared with today’s tiny gadgets.

With a modern camcorder you now have unrivaled freedom to express yourself through the power of the image. The small size means you can put these cameras almost anywhere to get your shot. Jam into crevices, hang them out of windows – you can even attach them to helium balloons on strings for panoramic and aerial tracking shots!! You are not limited that is what is so fun. The Flip Camera to use its example again, comes with pretty good sound recording facility too so you are not compromising in this area.

All this new technology means that hungry film makers of any age and background can give themselves a chance to create something amazing. Equipment is no longer holding them back. It means that the power of story will once again come to the fore. Democratizing the means to make films doesn’t result in a deluge of rubbish movies; it allows the best of the lot, the cream of the crop from new, amateur film-makers to rise to the top. Which means, if you are a film fan, the next few years could be very exciting ones.

This is the time of the year that thoughts turn to gifts and a popular gift is a digital camera. The choice of good cameras is enormous so first thoughts are which out of all these cameras should I buy, and how much will it cost.

It is difficult to decide because of the range of cameras but first you need to ask yourself some questions in order that you get the right camera for you:

Buying a digital camera: where do you start?

What you want to do with your camera is probably the most important question when buying a camera, followed by how much you can afford.

The following are the sort of questions you should be asking yourself before you go to buy a digital camera:

* What do you want to do with your camera i.e. what sort of photography will you be doing – just snaps, landscapes, portraits, wildlife, macro, action?

* How much do you want to spend?

* Do you want to print your photos or only view them on your computer?

* What is the camera resolution? How many pixels is enough?

* What is the (memory card) storage capacity?

* What type of lens does the camera have?

* What features do you need – fully auto, manual, zoom, alternate lenses, image stabilization etc?

* What sort of zoom is it – digital or optical?

* How much experience in photography do you have?

* Do you want to use Auto most of the time or learn more about photography?

* Do you want to carry around bulky cameras, lenses, tripods or just slip your camera into your pocket, purse or handbag?

* Do you want a compromise between compact and DSLR?

* When and where will you be taking your pictures i.e. indoors, outdoors, daylight, night?
