Olympus Camedia C-310Zoom/C-575 Reviewed 07/06/2004 10:07 AM

PhotographyBlog reviews the Camedia C-310 Zoom, the 3.2-megapixel budget camera from Olympus with the fantasy weaponry styling. It lacks on a lot of tweaker features, like mirrored finished, nasal spray, and ... wait, like ISO speed or aperture settings, but as a down-and-dirty point-and-shoot, the C-310 gets the job done, providing more than adequate image quality without breaking the bank -- the C-310Zoom (which is branded the D-575 in the States) can be picked up for around $250.

Ruggedly Sexy) 03/14/2005 06:02 PM
Perfect for the casual CIA operative or dolphin trainer, the Olympus R1000 is a truly rugged "tough" digital assistant, as MobileMag's review clearly shows. The device offers enhanced security along with the ability to take nearly anything you throw at it (including other R1000s). Surviving submersions in tanks of water, 8 hours of "agitation" with dust and drops from more than 6 feet, the device is available in either Linux Qtopia or CE .NET and will cost you between $900 and $1100, depending on your wireless options. (Bluetooth vs. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.) Available now, check MoblieMag's review for all the rugged details.

Olympus Stylus 410 Review 05/31/2004 06:59 AM
Mark Goldstein is collecting himself a nice set of reviews over at PhotographyBlog, and his review of the Olympus 410 Digital camera stays true to form. The 4-megapixel camera that tops Olympus's "Stylish" category has a 3x optical zoom, uses xD Picture Card format, and looks not unlike the sort of camera I would expect to see some sci-fi alien family use on vacation. Not Klingon, exactly; perhaps the Protoss.

Mark also informs me that the European name of this camera is the ľ[mju:], which best I can work out is pronounced, "microbracketmuujuuucolonbracket." Fancy!

Olympus R1000 Ruggish PDA

Olympus R1000 Ruggish PDA 02/01/2005 09:09 PM
Built to withstand the hottest lava flows (or at least being placed in a Humvee's tire tracks for a press photo), Olympus has announced the world's first "Tough Digital Assistant". Configurable in both milquetoast Win CE.Net 4.2 or the hairy, bearded Linux option, it can also include both Bluetooth and 802.11b, if you chose, ruggedly transmitting radio waves capable of traversing the rockiest electromagnetic spectrum. They claim it can withstand a four-foot drop onto concrete, but strangely can't withstand concrete dropped from four feet above it (probably; they won't let us try).

It's nice looking, though, especially in a category otherwise filled with knobby plastic chassis (with horrible gas mileage).

While we're on the camera tip, Olympus has announced a fistful of new cameras, including this Evolt E-300, an 8-megapixel DSLR that "is not bound by the conventions of traditional SLR film camera designs" and has a "radical new body shape...that gives the camera its unique "flat-top" appearance." I think that means Olympus just created the first plus size bull dyke camera. Go girl!

Olympus m:robe 100 in Two New Colors

Olympus m:robe 100 in Two New Colors 04/14/2005 10:03 AM
Olympus is offering two new colors of their m:robe MR-100 MP3 player—sort of. The front of the device is still the Knight-Rider-like red-on-black (of which, I must say, I am a fan). The back of the current models is white, but the new models will be available with backs in light pink and light blue. It's like those videos I used to stare at when I was a kid, where the cover girl was a studious bookworm by day but a crime-fighting whore at night. I may be getting some of the plot-points confused.

No idea if we'll get these models in America. I guess it depends on how well the MR-100 is selling, which is hard to augur considering Olympus misguidedly put all their marketting muscle into the MR-500.

Olympus has a new consumer camera out today with a style many will probably hate, but I think is rather attractive, in a mecha-node robot spoor sort of way. It's called the MJU MINI Digital, and it's a 4-megapixel camera with a 1.8-inch screen, a metal body, unlimited movie recording. Plus it comes in six new colors, all of which will be found in the most stylish of pockets when it is released later this year in the UK for £250.

Multiple snaps in an elliptical orbit to Olympus for taking a chance on this model. I expect this one will be very popular.

ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 Reviewed

ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 Reviewed 09/01/2004 12:01 PM
ViperLair reviews the ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0, a sort of low-rent option for those you want to add a TV tuner or video-in to their machines, but would prefer an outboard piece of equipment instead of cracking open their case and dropping in a daughter board. Don't expect huge features out of the $100 brick, though, as the inputs are limited to coax, s-video, and composite - the higher-quality component video is not to be found. On the upside, the inclusion of USB 2.0 in this new model allows it to transfer encoded video to your computer with far less compression than earlier, USB 1.1 models, meaning your signal will travel from outside to your hard drive relatively unscathed, analog warts and all.

For a quick solution, especially for something like a laptop that can't even get a better quality bit of hardware, it's probably worth taking a look at. A "Pro" version should be out soon that includes a remote.

There's no doubt that the Sharp LL-151-3D is a cool product—3D displays without any goofy headgear is the double pluses. But are any of you guys actually using them? I can think of a few situations (medical, 3D imaging) where they'd be handy, but the 15-inch size seems a little down market for hot-to-trot medical researchers/Science Officers. And it's too expensive for gaming, costing more than most gaming PCs do in total. Anyway, just curious. There's got to be a way I can justify buying one for work.

Soroban Geek's Portable Media World got their webbed hands on a pre-release version of the iRiver PMP-140, the upcoming personal media player that is the one that isn't the Windows-branded Portable Media Center (that's the PMC- models). Although the review is a little heavy on pictures and a little light on opinion, they seem fairly impressed with the device. It does look nice enough (from a feature perspective, at least; its case is ugly as sin), and I've got fairly high hopes for this one. DRM-free means, if nothing else, greater ease of use as a rule of thumb.

Neuros II Reviewed

Neuros II Reviewed 08/20/2004 12:50 PM
The Register has a properly in-depth review of the Neuros II 20GB HDD music player, a bulky and sort of awkward device whose main claim to fame is swappable 'backpacks' that allow additional hard drives to be added without the need for buying a whole different unit. Sadly, it seems that the implementation is less than the sum of its concepts, although I have to say I was intrigued by one aspect of its direct-to-MP3 recording of FM radio. By using a service called HiSi ("Hear it. Save it.") the Neuros is able to identify - after being plugged back into your computer - songs you've recorded from the radio by comparing short audio snippets to those in HiSi's database, which returns the correct ID3 tag. It even color codes the results depending on how certain it is that it's identified the song correctly.

Unfortunately, that's about the best part. The 20GB Neuros II is a pretty good value, though - an 80GB model can be had for just $450.
