New Gadget 2011

The problems seem to be thought also by Sanyo, electronic company of Japan. Recently they launch a projector which suited for company which does not have big meeting room: Sanyo PLC-XL50.

Sanyo gives it title “World's Shortest Projection Distance”. For your info, to present projection object as wide as 80 inch, this projector only requires shoot distance to screen as far as 8 centimeter.

Mean, this projector can be drawn near until almost patch to screen. Hence, it also guarantees projection result which free of presenter shadow as result of projector lamp spotlights.

If compares to NEC WT610 projector. At 61 cm shoot distance, this projector only can present result of projection as wide as 78 inch.

Sanyo can double the shoot distance with more sophisticated projection technology. NEC WT610 only apply mirror to cut short shoot distance, while Sanyo PLC-XL50 applies combination between lenses and non-sferical mirror, or mirror which do not bounce electromagnetic impulse.

This projector applies LCD XGA machine (resolution 1024 x 768). Brightness level presented by it is reaching 2000 lumens.

As for its contrast ratio reaching 600 : 1. This is including bright for a LCD projector. Color presented from computer screen is sharply enough and still saves detail in video dark part.

What little bothering is noise and posterization effect when presenting skin color. Discoloration happened seen not gradual, but drastic.

Meanwhile, this projector built-in audio system shows result that is surprising enough. It can yield hard enough sound and fulfills a big room.

With the size 20 x 37,3 x 50 cm and weight 7,6 kilograms, this projector of course pertained heavy and big. This makes projector setting is more disturbingly compared to other projectors.

Besides, this projector remote control cannot take over mouse pointer function for merely opening the next presentation page. But, it also equipped some other addition, for example Easy Off Function and On-Start Function, so user can turn off and turn on it swiftly.

Moreover, Color Board Mode feature enables user to use color media so that screen do not always must having white color. For the security, it also provides Audio Alarm feature, which will give warning if there are any thief try to take the projector.

What is the requirement of an amateur photographer which wish to feel the experience of making a picture with digital camera? Certainly is a compact digital camera which easy to operated and equipped by facility which assisting to anticipate difficult situation in photo occasion.

Olympus answers the challenges with their newest camera, FE-270. The buttons represents one function only (one button one function) so facilitates user for quickly recognizes and access it. While the automatic photograph configuration (Scene-SCN) assists the user to anticipate specific photo condition with quickly. There are 15 scenes; some between it is a real useful and often to applied like Sport, Night Scene with Portrait, Sunset, and Portrait. Thereby, you will be able to more concentrating at the moment and photo content than get busy at camera various setting. But, don't be disappointed if you didn't find full manual photo mode (M), diaphragm priority (AV), shutter-speed priority (S).

Image stabilizer facility which working digitally, in our test is helps when making a picture of moving object or small object in short distance (macro). This camera provides a real near photograph distance, its reach 5 cm, so that the picture sharpness is hardly required. The lens at this camera has 3x optical zoom, equivalent with focal point 38-114 at SLR camera lens. I assume its enough to photograph requirement from landscape to portrait.

The internal memory capacity which only have 6,9 MB hardly limits the quality and number of photo frames. Hence, add xD type memory card which its slot is on Olympus FE-270 underside. Moreover, photo saving into internal memory always requires longer relative time than if it is kept into addition memory (external).

Video record facility at this camera is not too special, although its video frame measure which 640 X 480 pixel is the same with PAL MPEG2 video standard (720 X 576 pixels). Video play speed used is 15 frame per second. It’s equal to phone camera.

Guide mode at dial button will guide user in step by step when found a difficult photograph condition.

Olympus FE-270 successfully answers the requirement of newbie photographer segment which requiring camera usage easiness and reliable for various photograph conditions. But, in this camera there are no manual setting, thus less suited for you which desire to learn photography serious.

SGH-F200 is the newest member from Samsung F music series. If seen from the number, this is the most economical solution compared to its brother: F300 and F500. Music player ability of course becomes the main appeal. But whose expects if its design which draw the attention.

F200 is also recognized as swivel phone. Concept like this has been carried by Sony Ericsson S700. But the miracle of F200 is not only centered at its swivel axis. Its camouflage as portable music player successfully closes over its phone impression. All because the detail designs, small size and its supporting display.

The main point, F200 is a candybar phone. But because it axis, we also can call it as swivel phone. Its size is the smallest one if compared to the other phones. Especially in stand by condition (swivel is closed).

In closed swivel condition, we can get a number of navigators for music. In it front side there is D-Pad at the same time functioning as multimedia button. We can access music file, play and full controls it with this button.

In it side part, we can find two function keys that across each other. Each will function like softkey button at phone, as supporting facilities to opening music menu and browsing file. But this button only functioned when phone in standby and music on condition.

As a phone with slide form, hence it screen can be made to fulfills the face area. But because this phone longitudinal section is small, hence it screen is made small. Its diagonal size is 1.46 inches and has 128 x 220 pixel resolution.

F200 interface is also unique. It can be felt when we can only access music from main menu button (open swivel), but you must close the swivel to enjoy it.

Samsung SGH-F200 is phone which camouflage to become a music player. Surely, music feature becomes the main feature.

If it compared to Samsung MP3 player which available in the market, F200 form is much supported. Alike instead! And so with its ability to play a number of music formats.

Music function domination becomes the F200 main menu. It’s acceptable if we call it a phone in camouflage. On the contrary with the addition of network phone and Bluetooth, surely this is not a common portable music player. It’s attractive enough combination.

Then come up the innovator which called RAZR2 family. This group is famous with more flexible interface. It already planted K-Java OS and also same qualities two displays. V8 was the firstly product.

Then now the new edition in V9, all features which mentioned above tried to offer again. It’s come up without variation and just new product with complete feature.

RAZR2 V9 is supported by great designs. Form factor of RAZR series which usually applied, clamshell, remain to uses. Not only that, material chooses and glossy effect makes it seen more luxuriant.

Both of V9 screen is presented in equal quality. Its purpose is simple: to more facilitates user. Because if both screen made the same, hence you can access some menus without opens flip.

Identical with V8, V9 still have the same secondary screen interface. It’s using touch sensitive button which placed in screen underside. If compared to similar button of Samsung or LG, its location in V9 is effective enough. Automatic lock will prevent this button activated accidentally.

The price can be said sensible if it is compared to the price of V3 when first time launched. But some problems must be fixed especially at it camera.
