Sony T30

Wow! I like this camera from Sony, its really put my mood up. It is equipt with 7.2mpx which is very good for a compact camera. Here are more about this cam which make why I like it.

Features
Sleek Styling, Ultra-Slim Dimensions
The DSC-T30/B is Sony’s sleekest ultra-slim design — an amazing demonstration of how much image resolution and high-tech performance can be incorporated in a camera that’s only about the size of a credit card.

Slide Show with Select Music Playback1
View in-camera images in Slide Show sequence, with one-button operation, selectable transition effects and up to four music background tracks1 that make it more entertaining to share your memories with family and friends. You can even use supplied Picture Package Music Transfer software to add your own favorite music.

7.2 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD
It’s another step up in megapixel performance, giving each photo greater detail when you make large prints and view pictures on big-screen TVs — with Sony’s advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design that allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Super SteadyShot® Optical Image Stabilization
To compensate for shaky hands, Sony’s Super SteadyShot® system detects camera movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens to reduce image blur — a real advantage when shooting in low light with such a small camera.

Sharp, Clear Photos Without Flash
The DSC-T30/B provides High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) to let you shoot in low light without flash to preserve the mood or capture great shots in locations where flash is not permitted. Sony’s Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction system also counter the picture noise traditionally associated with high ISO imaging — and with Sony’s Super SteadyShot® system to compensate for camera shake, you’ll be able to get great results with a wide range of subjects and lighting conditions.

Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical/2X Precision Digital Zoom
An ingenious lens design provides 3X Optical Zoom capability in amazingly compact camera dimensions — and even at full zoom the lens doesn’t project beyond the camera body, preserving the ultra-slim styling of the DSC-T30/B.

Capture Images In-Camera
With 58 MB Internal Memory, the DSC-T30/B allows you to shoot photos without a flash memory card — so you can always get your shot even if you forgot your card. From internal memory, you can easily transfer your images to Memory Stick Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.

3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen2
With its Clear Photo LCD Plus™ design, the large 3.0" screen2 of the DSC-T30/B gives you a big, bright image that makes it easy to set up shots, share results and read menus even in bright sunlight.

Versatile Color Modes
The DSC-T30/B gives you greater creative freedom to adjust color mode for the creative results you want — with new Natural setting for subtle colors and Vivid setting for more intense colors, in addition to Standard, Monochrome and Sepia color settings.

High-Stamina InfoLithium® Rechargeable Battery
A supplied NP-FR1 InfoLithium® rechargeable battery lets you shoot up to 420 pictures on a full charge2, recharges quickly and easily, and shows you about how much shooting time remains.

14X Smart Zoom™ Feature
Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets you magnify your subject beyond the 3x optical zoom – to 3.6x (5MP), 4.5x (3MP), even 14x (VGA). By intelligently cropping into the central portion of the scene, it avoids the image distortion of other digital zooms.

Real Imaging Processor™ LSI
To improve camera response and extend battery life, Sony’s Real Imaging Processor™ LSI (Large Scale Integrated) circuit decreases shutter lag, improves picture quality and clarity, and increases battery stamina.

Sleek Styling, Ultra-Slim Dimensions
The DSC-T30/B is Sony’s sleekest ultra-slim design — an amazing demonstration of how much image resolution and high-tech performance can be incorporated in a camera that’s only about the size of a credit card.

Memory Stick Duo™ Media
The DSC-T30/B has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media that provides ultra-compact, high-capacity shooting and recording.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
The DSC-T30/B can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second3), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.

Superman returns 2006

It will returns soon. This movie will release end of this month which is on 29th of June. So, just wait and see. After a long visit to the lost remains of the planet Krypton, the Man of Steel returns to earth to become the peoples savior once again and reclaim the love of Lois Lane.

Director Bryan Singer notes:
"I've seen probably every single episode of the George Reeves series and I really love the first movie. That first Superman is quite classic to me and I am a huge fan."One of the fantastic things about it is that Donner put together an incredible cast. It's my great pleasure to bring this new chapter of the Superman legacy to the screen with our own incredible cast.
"Rather than being a remake of the original movie though, this new film explores Superman's influence on our global culture and the impact of his return to Earth after an absence of between four and five years, where he's been away doing some soul searching.

"Superman is an alien coming from another world, and the suit he wears is a remnant of that world. So not only can you get away with the traditional costume, it's what should be. It's a costume that should be updated to some degree, but at the same time no more exaggerated than what George Reeves or Christopher Reeve wore. It won't be dated. It'll be contemporary but classic in its design."
