Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR: Top-Notch Images, Now Cheaper

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:20:09 -0500

This point-and-shooter from Fujifilm is brand-spankin' new, but you can already find it at a discount. While it lists for $279.95, prices have dropped as low as $204.95.

Our camera analyst, PJ Jacobowitz, had this to say about the F70EXR: "Packing a wide 27mm 10x optical zoom lens in a body that's under an inch thick, the F70EXR delivers top-notch images, especially at lower ISO settings." His only complaints were the so-so user interface and lack of high-def video recording. Check the review for details at PCMag.com.

Amazon Offers iPod Savings

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:26:15 -0500

The words "iPod" and "sale" come together so rarely that this blowout sale from Amazon deserves some attention. For a short time you can grab a previous generation iPod Touch or iPod Nano for up to 30 percent off.

Microsoft Zune HD: Official Price Drop, Plus Even More Savings

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:32:05 -0500

On Friday we found out from our sister blog, Gearlog, that MIcrosoft was officially dropping the price of its Zune HD portable media player: "The 32GB HD model now costs $269.99, while the 16GB version now is priced at $199.99."

Better still, you can find it for less on some retail sites. For example, CompUSA is offering the 32GB Zune HD for $249.99, and so is Amazon.

When PCMag's audio/video analyst Tim Gideon reviewed the player, he awarded the MIcrosoft Zune HD a score of 4.5 out of 5, saying: "With a fantastic OLED touch screen, a top-notch Web browser, and a wireless music store, the Zune HD is the best PMP you can buy--that is, if you live outside the iTunes universe."

That's what PCMag reviewer Galen Fott had to say about version 1 of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom; he awarded it a score of 4 out of 5.
