Uncompromising style and great value are fused in the Digital IXUS 95 IS. Ease of use is assured by Smart Auto mode, which uses Scene Detection to intelligently optimise settings for better pictures. Classic IXUS design – The Digital IXUS 95 IS has a light, compact design that slips easily into a pocket or purse. It comes in a choice of four colours: silver, grey, blue or pink. 10 Megapixels – A resolution of 10 Megapixels lets you turn photos into poster-size prints, or creatively crop images without losing the detail necessary for larger prints. 3.0x zoom – A 3.0x optical zoom lens gives you total framing flexibility when composing shots. Canonâ optical Image Stabilizer works to deliver blur-free results throughout the zoom range. Scene Detection Technology for effortless ease – Smart Auto mode uses intelligent Scene Detection Technology to identify the scene based on brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue. The camera then selects the most appropriate scene mode – from a choice of 18 – to obtain automatically perfect settings, for effortless point-and-shoot operation. Anti-blur with Motion Detection Technology – Motion Detection Technology uses a range of advanced methods to ascertain movement of both camera and subject, plus the speed at which this motion occurs. The optimum ISO is then automatically set for any situation. Face Detection Technology – A suite of Face Detection technologies detects up to 35 faces in a shot, adjusting focus, exposure, flash settings and white balance for optimal results with natural-looking skin tones. Faces can even be detected in profile, at an angle to the camera, or from long distances. FaceSelf-Timer takes a shot when an extra face is detected in the frame making group photos easy

Sony IPELA SNC-DF80P IP Camera

Sony’s latest mini-dome IP camera is designed with the great outdoors in mind as the SNC-DF80P comes enclosed in a casing that’s vandal proof. Typical external locations would be areas such as covered car parks but we noted that the camera has no IP (ingress protection) rating so should not be mounted where it is exposed to the elements or can be splashed with water.

A key feature of this camera is its use of Sony’s IMD (Intelligent Motion Detection) and IOD (Intelligent Object Detection) technologies. These add some intelligence to the camera’s motion detection functions and come into play when you configure the camera for both moving and stationary objects. For the former you can select from three size settings where the largest is 64 x 64 pixels and the smallest is 8 x 8 pixels. These can be used to either stop the camera being triggered by small objects or make it miss not even a fly.

Stationary objects are referred to as unattended objects and the camera uses a baseline image to decide whether anything has changed in the area under surveillance. Essentially, any object that should be there but suddenly disappears can trigger an alarm if it isn’t back in place after a preset interval. Alternatively, if a new object appears and remains in the view for a specified time this can also be used to trigger an event. If an event causes a trigger to be activated you can configure the camera to store images in its own memory or a CompactFlash card, send them to an FTP server and email them to selected addresses. An unusual feature is the ability to store up to three voice files on the camera and have them played over an attached speaker if an event occurs.

The camera is enclosed in a sturdy aluminium jacket with the lens assembly inside a clear plastic dome. For external mounts you can have all cabling exit the chassis base or through a hole in the side where a protective pipe can be sealed to it for further protection. The camera is 802.3af PoE compliant which was rather handy for us as Sony doesn’t include an external power supply in the standard package. For testing we had no problems using an HP ProCurve 2626-PWR PoE switch. Sony also offers an optional internal heater but this requires 22W to operate which is beyond the means of PoE as 15.4W is its top whack.

Video: PhotoFast CR-7000 SDHC to CF adapter takes on 5D Mark II, lives to burst about it

While we love those fast, high-capacity CompactFlash cards guaranteed to capture every frame of HD video shot by modern DSLRs, occasionally it would be nice to process those pixels to an SDHC card. The convenience of SD or the fact that you likely have more than a few unused cards lying around is enough justification to switch, at least temporarily. Fortunately, Akihabara News did a quick hands-on demonstration of the PhotoFast CR-7000 doing the SDHC-to-CF adapter thing inside of Canon’s ultra-quick 5D Mark II. Sure, it won’t capture 1080p video, but it seems to handle bursting reasonable well in a pinch. Check the full read over at Aki after peeping the video after the break.
