Sony HDR-SR8E HD Camcorder

April 9, 2008 by Abdalla Ahmed · Leave a Comment 

To capture that fantastic moment that only happens once in a while or once in a lifetime you will need something special - Sony’s HDR-SR8E HD Camcorder is just the thing you need with 100GB you will hardly run out of space to record or capture your favorite moments.

The ultra-compact, stylishly-designed AVCHD HDD Handycam with ClearVid CMOS Sensor, x.v.Colour and Carl Zeiss? Vario-Sonnar?T* lens. Featuring 100GB HDD, it records 1080i HD movie for up to 38 hours.

The HDR-SR8E is one of the best in Sony’s Handycam range. Its huge hard disk means it can store up to 38 hours’ worth of 1080i AVCHD Hi-Def video, accompanied by Dolby Digital surround sound. For playback, you can connect straight to your HD ready TV via the supplied HDMI cable to allow you to enjoy true HD quality.

Like its SR7E sibling, the SR8E uses Sony’s latest 1/2.9in CMOS, rather than the 1/3in unit of the original SR1E, the HDR-HC3E and the more recent SR5E. This increases raw pixel count from 2.1 Mpixels to 3.2 Mpixels, which might seem like a good thing in a high definition camcorder. But 2.1 Mpixels is already adequate to capture the full resolution of 1,440 x 1,080 video, at least in theory. So the main recipient of the extra pixels is the still image ability, with the maximum size for digital photos increasing to 2,848 x 1,602 from 2,304 x 1,296 in 16:9 mode, and to 2,848 x 2,136 from 2,304 x 1,728 in 4:3 mode. The latter is how Sony manages to claim 6.1 Mpixel stills for the SR8E. This may not quite compete with the latest 7 Mpixel digital cameras, but it’s close enough that you may well use the SR8E for photos as well as video on a regular basis.

With a price tag of roughly ?850 ($1700) it is a bit pricy but you can look else for other competitiors and i’m sure you will see that the price for the Sony HDR-SR8E is reasonable.

$249.99 Headphones Anyone?

February 25, 2008 by Abdalla Ahmed · 7 Comments 

When we all think about buying a headset for our phones or our ipods we ideally think about cheap replacement headphones for immediate use.

What we dont think about is a $310 replacement pair of headphones! The Sleek SA6 are a set of very unique headphones which allow the user to change the outer part of the headphones to enhance your music/sound experience.

Sleek SA6 Headphones

Take a look at the picture at the right; the white plastic like ear pieces are interchangeable to allow you to change and optimize what you hear.

As Sleek-Audio put it themselves, you can “sit back and marvel at the music”.

“The SA6 is the first completely adjustable in-ear earphone system. Pick the bass you like and the treble you desire, sit back and marvel at the music. These hi-fi earphones are more than just a pair of in-ear headphones; these are the finishing touch on your amazing audio and video collection. Close your eyes and you will believe you are actually at the concert.”

So are you ready to spend 250 bucks and get a better “music experience” or are you like me and happy with the cheap $5 every day headset. Computer Shopper have put together a more in depth review of these rip off fantastic headphones - CLICK HERE if your interested in wasting spending $250.

Sony’s Dancing MP3 Player - “Rolly”

February 19, 2008 by Abdalla Ahmed · 1 Comment 

While I have been away the past few days I managed to get hold of Sony’s new “Rolly” - an egg shaped MP3 player that dances to your music. Its small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and has lights around its body that flash in time to the music. Two little flaps at either end of its body open and close to help add extra flair to its movements. the built-in speakers are surprisingly good, considering Rolly’s small Size.

Watch below this video of how cool this gadget is!



It has 2Gb on board flash memory or you could as I prefer, strem music directly to it using the bluetooth enabled on your other devices such as your cell phone. I have a Nokia n95 8GB so I was loving that feature when I had it to play around with.

It is out in Japan but sadly the UK release has not been announced yet by Sony so I can not buy one right now. Oh well…

The F96 range is the pinnacle of HD TVs, the LED LCD TV is the largest, best and brightest LCD TV available in the world today with sight and sound so vivid and clear they deliver a whole new reality. Clean classic lines define the sophisticated and tasteful design of the F96. Television thats HD ready & supports 1080p = Crisp viewing.

Some specs:

Display Format: 1080p (FullHD)
Input Video Formats: 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 480i, 576i, 576p

Store Your Mac Book Air In A Envelope

January 30, 2008 by Abdalla Ahmed · Leave a Comment 

Normally laptop bags are very “pricey”, infact I bought mine for ?90 which equates to roughly $180.

Now with the Mac Book Air, theres no need for chic leather carry bags or the latest gamer backpacks produced by Ati etc, all you need is a simple envelope.

Dont believe me? Check the video below for yourself!





Do not worry, I see you (the rich technology lover) squirming at this atrocity. You want the latest fashion available and want to have your mac book looking sexy, am I right? Well if I am your in luck; Thanks to Studio Leung, you can pack your Mac Book Air into a small bag that looks nice and elegant.


macbook air bag

The bag apparently is made out of waxed cotton which means its water proof (handy for thos rainy days). As if this was not enough theres also a felt lining, purpose being to strengthen the bag. So, water proof, strong and sexy? What more else could you want!

Definitely a must buy for all you apple geeks fans out there.
