Those looking for a compact digital camera should seriously consider Sony’s new model Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200B. If I were to get a new digital camera, this will be my first choice due to its functions, performance and portability. Being so slim, you can slide it right into your pocket and it will not take up more space than your handphone or wallet. Compared to others, this camera is a fast performer that shoots photos fast. As an 8 megapixel digital camera, it is capable of taking images of high quality and resolution.

The difference with its predecessor, Cyber-shot DSC T100 is that it features a touch screen on a 3.5” LCD, and I believe it makes navigation among camera controls easier, more convenient and cooler.

A special feature with this camera is that it comes with a function called “Smile Shutter”. Whenever it detects smiling in its view, it snaps a photo. I think this is an interesting and useful feature as it makes the camera more automated.

The shortcoming of this camera is that its image quality does not live up to its predecessor as the images look softer, however it does produce excellent images.

Interested parties may want to visit http://www.sony.com.sg/microsite/cybershot/products/t200/3dflash.html for a detailed review of the functionalities of the phone including overviews of its main features as well as its technical specifications. It is very informative and I believe will convince you that the camera is indeed a great choice.

Want a gadget to show off your friends and make them jealous?

Look no further than the iPod Touch, the newly released iPod featuring the latest touch display technology by Apple, which allows you to navigate the system by flicking and moving your figures around the screen. Things become so much easier and convenient with this technology.

Have a drama series or movie you downloaded that you would like to watch on the MRT or bus ride to school/work? Simply download it into your iPod touch and watch it on the go – widescreen.

It also features WiFi system which means you can surf the net anywhere there are wireless internet hotspots, whether at home or in Starbucks, fast food joints, and many other places. It also has a program that allows you to view YouTube videos or show your friends, as well as to buy and download music over wireless internet, bringing lots of convenience.

The only thing I find lacking in iPod touch is disk capacity. Having a 16GB storage may seem a lot to some, but for me, it is definitely not enough. Having an iPod Video (5^th generation) that has a 30GB hard disk that I have already used up for storing music videos, movies, and a list of music albums, I was expecting something more from this new release.

Nevertheless, this seems to be best multi-function MP3 player around and I highly recommend it. This short text-written post can do no justice to this amazing gadget – I highly recommend interested readers to check out Apple’s highly informative iPod touch guided tour (it had over 15 million views already) at http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/guidedtour/ where I believe you will be amazed at how cool the features are.

Price: $498 (8GB), $698 (16 GB)
