Camcorders from CANON FS 10 and FS 11

CANON has introduced two Dual Flash Memory Camcorders, FS 10 and FS 11.

FS10 has 8 GB built-in flash memory while FS11 has 16 GB built-in flash memory. Both have extended SD/SDHC memory card slots.

First let us understand what flash memory is:

Flash memory is considered a solid state storage device. Solid state means that there are no moving parts -- everything is electronic instead of mechanical. A solid-state drive, or SSD, is attractive when considering speed, noise, power consumption, and reliability.

As the next-generation storage media of choice, flash memory is already being used in some of world’s most innovative electronic products such as notebook computers, MP3 players, PDAs and cell phones. Fast, flexible, fuss-free and feather-light, flash memory brings with it many advantages. The advent of Dual Flash technology has lent infinite new dimensions to a camcorder. The camcorders of the yesteryears have given way to totally new gadgets which are compact, easy to use and ground breaking in every sense.

Tips for how to buy Camcorders from Canon:

1. Lens and Zoom: Look for Optical Zoom instead of Digital Zoom. Maximum Optical zoom denotes the maximum zoom that the camcorder can achieve by moving its lens elements. 37X Optical zoom should be expected. Dual flash memory Camcorder from Canon gives an incredible 45X advanced zoom. To test the lens and zoom, made sure that while zoom out without moving cameras the targeted object in the center of frame should still be sharp.

2. LCD screen: Bigger LCD screens are preferable. Go for at least 2 .5 inch (6.4cms).It should also be visible in sunlight.

3. Ease of use: Check all buttons for quick response time. The unique joystick and remote control options on the Dual Flash Memory Canon Camcorder make the whole experience of shooting, a pleasure.

4. Outputs/Connectivity: Make sure that you can connect the camcorder to your computer, TV and other devices.

5. Image stabilization: FS 10 and FS 11 have built-in Electronic Image Stabilizers (EISs). EIS allows camcorder to accurately compensate for camera shake, giving you extremely steady shots even while panning on zooming.

6. Batteries: Normally, it is 1 hour recording time for other Camcorders. As flash memory has replaced hard disk, it gives extended recording time. Canon FS 11 Dual flash memory Camcorder can record up to 3 hours continuously.

7. Low-light modem: Make sure that it has a night vision mode or lowlight mode. It can be useful in poorly illuminated settings.

8. Image Quality: It depends on CCD (Charge Coupled Device) .The size and resolution of the CCD is important, the bigger the better. Both FS 10 and FS 11 have 1.07 megapixel CCD sensors.

9. Weight: These dual flash memory camcorders are ultra light compared to other light weight camcorders.

Wrist watch for 3 different time zones- Rolex GMT Master II

Rolex GMT Master II

The GMT can display time in two different time zones and the GMT II in three. Using the additional 12 hour hand which completes a 24 hour cycle in a single rotation, the GMT (and GMT II) uses a bi-directional rotatable bezel marked zero to twenty three allowing for a second time zone to be displayed with the additional 12 hour hand pointing to the bezel hour. The GMT II allows the additional 12 hour hand to be set independently from the hour hand thus allowing a third time zone.

It is very popular among commercial airline pilots. Setting the Rolex GMT Master II needs understanding of GMT or "Greenwich Mean Time". GMT is an international concept, and the watch was named after it. It is the same everywhere in the world. It does not depend on your location and does not change over time zones. For setting the time in different time zones, you may refer www.koniaris.com/rolex, in which all the settings are explained in details very nicely.

Radial Tyres

A radial tyre was originally developed by Michelin in 1946. All modern car tyres are radial.

All common tyres are made of layers of rubber and cords of polyester, steel, and other textile materials. This network of cords that gives the tyre strength and shape is called the carcass. Radial tyres lay all of the cord plies at 90 degrees to the direction of travel (that is, across the tire from lip to lip). This design reduces the rolling friction of the tyre. This allows vehicles with radial tyres to achieve better fuel economy. It also accounts for the slightly "low on air" (bulging) look that radial tyre sidewalls have.
