Kodak EasyShare EX811 Digital Photo Frames

Digital photo frames have become one of the most popular electronics gifts for teens, parents, and grandparents. Jumping on this trend, Kodak has introduced the Wi-Fi–enabled EasyShare EX811 (9.95 direct), a versatile display that suffers a bit in terms of image quality.

The EX811 has an 8-inch, 16:9 widescreen that can display pictures and video and play MP3s. Measuring 11.2 by 8.3 by 1.5 inches (HWD) and weighing 1.7 pounds, the frame is powered by a 12-volt adapter with a power brick and a conveniently long cord. Manual controls are located on the top of the frame for navigating through photos, accessing the menu, and playing a music slide show. The included remote control can be stowed away in a removable plastic holder on the back.

Casio’s PCP-1000 and PCP-200 photo printers boast plenty of LCD

An LCD on a printer is no uncommon sight these days, but we’ve got to hand it to Casio for totally blowing out the concept. Its new printers, the PCP-1000 and PCP-200, hit 7-inches and 3.5-inches, respectively, with the 7-incher (pictured) running at 480 x 234, while the 3.5-inch keeps things respectable at 240 x 320. Of course, it’s still hard to justify one of these things for editing and reviewing your photos when odds are you’ll have a perfectly good PC sitting a few feet away, but when has that sort of logic stopped us in the past? The PCP-1000 is hitting Japan September 20th for 61,950 yen (7 US), while the PCP-200 will run you lucky folk 50,400 yen (5 US) on September 7th.

Reader’s Photo: Andromeda Galaxy

Frank has sent us amazing photo of Andromeda Galaxy taken with his
Canon EOS 350D and SkyWatcher 80ED telescope.

Each dot of light is as star… Are we alone ?

“I shot this photo with the Canon EOS 350D and the SkyWatcher 80ED telescope (instead of Canon lenses). So, I shot 36 photos of the galaxy during 300 seconds in RAW, 800iso. I take too five darks (a photo with the hood of the Canon, it’s to see the hot’s pixels). Then, with the free software IRIS, I added these images and subtract the dark to suppress the hot pixels. That’s all. Before, it was very difficult to take a photo of galaxy, nebula etc. But, now, with the numeric, it’s more easy. With a classic camera and with a small telescope, you can take a lot of astro photography photos.”
