Nokia goes with the N97 into the full ones and brings a crammed packed Multimedia mobile phone with all at present feasible equipment features. The wages: The N97 sits down with large projection/lead to the point with the Business mobile phones.

The N97 is after the very successful Nokia 5800 XpressMusic second Touchscreen mobile phone of the Finns and also on something similar of successful courses. The N97 În complete 95 of 100 attainable points completed the test. Thus the N97 attains the descriptor as the first mobile phone in our Business ranking “very well”.

And that perfectly rightfully. Large Touchscreen, QWERTZ keys, HSDPA, WLAN, GPS and Navi. With this equipment arsenal the N97 is well prepared against coming competitors. Vă spun, what the new Business Champ can do particularly well and where it had to leave in the test feathers/springs.

Full hp at the small price: Small Macken with the TV-picture makes up for Sony KDL32V5500 during the rendition of DVDs and highly soluble Blu ray material again. And also as monitor replacement at the PC it makes a good figure.

The Sony LCD proves its special strengths, if you pass on it DVD or Blu ray Discs: The pictures do not work sharply, motion sun sharpen or the like give it to criticize. The signing is somewhat better with DVDs than however with Blu ray Discs, altogether with both correct. Only the something to strong Overscan with DVDs was noticeable to us in the test negatively: The television swallows some pixel rows at the edges.

Completely different TV-picture

The KDL32V5500 comes along with Full HP dissolution, however without 100Hz-Technology. That becomes positively apparent with the price, however negatively with the TV-picture. So the picture could convince of the tuners (similare şi de cablu digital, DVB-T) in the test not completely. Easy movement artifacts and serrated edges show again and again that no 100Hz-Technology at the start is. However we could discover no Ruckler in motion. Altogether we evaluate the TV-picture as average to good.

Good measured values

The good picture of the player showed the television also with the static display measurements: The contrast relationship of 2.787:1 and a chessboard contrast of 215:1 rank among the top class. And also the maximum brightness of 389 candela per square meter and the middle response time (grey grey) of 7 milliseconds are very good. Beyond that the television offers both by VGA and by HDMI Full HP dissolution for an attached PC - that is quite rare and makes it a very good monitor replacement.

Good clay/tone

The Sony TV has three clay Presets. It offers altogether a full sound, which begins to roar however with deep tones starting from stage 61 nevertheless clearly. Practically: The source list indicates by symbols, which entrances are already occupied. However the entrances are characterized in the equipment only by embossment into the black plastic. The search for the correct connection is accordingly toilsome.

In the equipment an DLNA able Streaming Client is blocked, over which you can play contents from your network by Ethernet interface. In the Internet to surf you cannot with the KDL32V5500 oricum.

Result

Sony KDL32V5500 a correctly good picture offers from DVD and Blu ray Disc. This is valid also for the use at the PC. However the quality of the pictures could convince us of the Tuners not completely. Here actually a picture improvement is missing as for instance the 100-Hz-Tech, which helps to avoid movement artifacts. But the television with a price of approximately 620 euros offers a very good price performance ratio.

The new EOS 500D does not provide alone only with Full HP video for sensation: Their impressing image quality and mad equipment make it the absolute camera cracker.

Do not let from the outside impression confuse, are mistaken enormously! The EOS 500D resembles its predecessor EOS 450D, but the view in the inside of the camera cracker shows that with the new EOS technically a quantity did: It waits with more megapixels, a new picture processor, a better display and a video mode up with Full HP dissolution and maximally 1,980 x 1,080 pixels. Thus it steps into competition to the D90 of the arch rival Nikon, which could turn so far as only DSLR in the price range to 1,000 euros videos - however only with dissolution of hp of 1.280 x 720 pixels. The real 500D-Adversary lies in wait however in the Nikon D5000, which has of the D90 taken over film sequence function (D-Movie) for filming into hp quality and bend as well as swivelling 2,7-Customs a monitor.

Video with the EOS

In the case of Full HP dissolution (1,980 X din 1,080 pixels) the picture repetition rate is with 20 de cadre pe secundă - that is not choppy straight, but the 500D offers completely liquid 30 Frames per second only with choice of the smaller 720p-HD-Resolution (1,280 X din 720 pixels). Videos the camera takes up as MOV files with the current H.264-Codec, the films can maximally scarcely 30 minutes long or 4 GByte be large. You activate the video mode been made by the choice wheel at the camera top side, start and stop of the admission by means of a separate, red marked key at the rear side of housing. As adjustment possibilities are available dissolution, autofocus and white alignment. Contrary to the Nikon the autofocus is active and you can by pressure on the AE-key after-focus at Canon during video recording. Clay/tone takes the EOS only in mono and with average sound quality up a special connection for a Stereo microphone does not bring along the DSLR not. Bine: In order to play the videos at the hp flat picture television, the EOS is equipped with an HDMI interface.

Dissolution record and point image quality

Canon packs a 15,1-Megapixel-CMOS-Sensor into the EOS 500D - this resembles to a large extent already so far into the more expensive, semi professional EOS 50D assigned image converter. In the new one he works with 2 channels, in order to pick the graphic data out, while the 50D can access to 4 data channels and is so clearly faster. Also the most current generation 4 of the Digic Image Processor divides the 500D with the 50D.

In the test laboratory the new Canon DSLR shows, what is into it: The image quality is outstanding and redefines the conditions in this price range. With a dissolution of record (max. 2,687 x 2,589 linii), which also at high ISO values hardly diminishes, and also a picture noise very small with high sensitivity earns itself it the maximum score. In addition the 500D offers welcome auxiliary functions for picture improvement: a very effective intercarrier noise suppressor, which can be connected for high ISO numbers. This adjusts the edge shading over the picture processor depending upon used objective; in addition the data of different CAN on objective types are deposited in the firmware. This functioned with JPEG photographs in the camera, with RAW photos (14 bits) later takes place the correction at the computer with the enclosed software.

Top display, good ergonomics

The large monitor of the EOS 500D measures 3 tariff in the diagonal and solves super+sharp 920,000 pixels up the picture opinion is excellent. As nowadays usual, Canon Live View and a dust distance function offer. The viewfinder with 95 per cent of image field cover and 0,87facher enlargement corresponds likewise to the class-usual conditions. The autofocus works with 9 AF-sensors, of which the central is laid out as cross sensor. All usual manual and semiautomatic adjustment possibilities stand just as ready as a full mechanism. In addition the 500D has also still another A-DEP-mode for maximum sharpness depth and a Approx.-mode (Creative car) - this is particularly practical for less experienced photographers very, because here comfortably over faded in sliding control can be specified in the display, how the background is to be taken up sharply or in a diffuse way in the photo.

The measured speed is satisfying with quick switch-on time and DSLR typical release delay of in each case 0.4 seconds as well as a sequence time of 2,9 photos per second (RWA and JPEG). The battery life between 530 şi 1.020 photographs per load fails for a DSLR rather moderately.

Result

With the very good EOS 500D Canon a direct hit succeeded. It reserves a mad second seat in the overall ranking of the DSLRs to 1,000 Euro, offers the best image quality and in addition a meaningfully tied, practical equipment package. Besides it exceeds at present only rival with video mode both in this function and in all other valuation categories. In view of the ordering the price of the EOS is calculated fair; because Canon always combines the Bundle offers to the EOS 500D with picture-stabilized objectives, also the absence one can be hurt in the housing of integrated picture stabilizer.

The new number 1: The S100FS shines with Top image quality, first-class equipment and innovative auxiliary functions. Thus it overtrumps not only the other compact cameras, but is a genuine alternative to the DSLR.

More than one year long occupied Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 the top position ranking, but now the FinePix pushed it from the throne. Already at first sight the S100FS impresses: It does not look like an full-grown DSLR, but is also just as large and heavy - nearly 1 kilogram. Technically the camera offers a brand-new 11-Megapixel-SuperCCD with large surface area (2/3 tariff diagonal) including new picture processor, extended volume range and an ISO maximum of 3.200. In the test laboratory the S100FS obtains the highest resolution of all compact cameras; the noise with ISO 100 is very small, at higher values corresponds it to the level of the competition models. The color proves as very good and despite more easily weaknesses with the chromatic aberration is altogether very good the image quality and the best in the ranking.

Point objective

The enormous 14fach-Zoom lens of the S100FS is top class and at present best, which you can get with a compact camera. With a focal length range from 28 la 400 milimetri (according to small picture) it covers both the wide angle and the long telephoto optimally and offers a good luminous intensity (F2.8 to F5.3). For fastidious photographers crucially: In place of a zoom shot jack at the Camera Housing Fujifilm sets with the S100FS on mechanical zoom shot and focus rings, with which genuine SLR Feeling arises. In practice please the solid material quality and the processing free from play, which make marvelously precise zoom shot trips possible.

Singular function range

Naturally the FinePix brings - as it belongs itself for a good, current Highend camera - an optical picture stabilizer, a face recognition, a manual operation and many attitude options; also the professional display format RAW supports it. But that is long not yet everything: The dynamic range is singular and very practically
Choice in 3 stages (100, 200 şi 400 per cent) and the film simulation
Mode: Thus the characteristics of the classical pro via and analog velvia films can be simulated. Besides thereby one is particularly possible for portrait photographs adapted film simulation. Apart from the fact all picture parameters can be adjusted such as sharpness, color or clay/tone value finely, even the white alignment offer manual fine adjustment. For friends of the HDR photography the very extensive Bracketing functions are particularly interesting. With those the camera on push of a button takes up automatically three photographs with different attitudes, which can be put together then later by software at the computer to a HDR picture. With the S100FS can you the photo series in each case with different exposure, volume ranges or film simulations take up.

Folding display, weak viewfinder

The display of the S100FS measures 2.5 tariff and dissolves sharply, but when focusing the representation flickers easily; the reproduction of the picture is error free and very good. For photos from unusual perspective it is practical that the monitor can be folded up. The electronic viewfinder supplies a relatively large and clearly less pixel opinion than the viewfinder of the compact competition. But sharpness, color reproduction and brightness are not well enough - here even favorable beginners DSLRs offers more. The Fujifilm is well finished, lies perfectly in the hand and the numerous keys for the many attitudes is well arranged and easily attainable. The speed of the camera is with 0.56 seconds of release delay moderately, also the battery life is only average.

Result

The S100FS is the best Highend Digicam for photo fans and offers at an appropriate price very good image quality and equipment - particularly the strong objective is point. Which so particularly makes the FinePix however, is its extended dynamic
extent, the various color micro-adjustments including film simulation and their extensive Bracketing
Functions. For photo enthusiasts it opens thereby more to creative clearance than other cameras and is like that - despite disadvantages with the viewfinder, the speed and noise with high ISO sensitivity - an interesting alternative to a DSLR, which would be at least twice as expensive with a comparable objective.

Belkin announces a new power LINE adapter with the Gigabit power LINE hp starter kit. The equipment is to supply data rates of up to a GBit/s and to make such a fast home network possible for example for hp entertainment.

According to manufacturer the power LINE adapter guarantees a safe and stable connection owing to the Mediaxtream chip of Gigle over electricity mains also for ranges, which are badly taken off of wireless connections.

Due to its fast transmission rate of theoretically a GBit/s and the stable connection the power LINE adapter is to be suited particularly for on-line Games and the transmission of Videostreams. Up to now the fastest power LINE technology up to 200 MBit/s, W-LAN 802.11n supplies brings up to 300 MBit/s.

In order to use the Gigabit power LINE hp starter kit, an adapter must into the plug socket put, which others are attached to a terminal as for example a set Top box, a computer or a game console.

The Gigabit power LINE hp starter kit is to have to be had immediately in the USA for scarcely 150 dollar. Into Europe the adapter presumably comes at the beginning of of August on the market. At the price Belkin gave still no data.

The enterprise points out that it concerns with a data transmission rate of a GBit/s a theoretical value, which is not reached in practice due to of different disturbances, network traffic and other obstacles like for example walls.

Asus, Lenovo and Toshiba presented this week new notebooks. Asus dedicated itself thereby, the two different to the Lifestyle the Business sector.

With that 15.6 tariff large UX50V link Asus at the same time the Design initiative “Go Style! ”, whereby the woman and man world with their different in each case needs and kinds of application are addressed: The “woman variant” concentrates on the elegance and form-completed beauty of the notebook. The “man variant” focuses particularly practical functions beside clear lines.

The ultra flat housing of the UX50V is rounded off, breath thin elegant and shines in luxurious, black piano lacquer optics. Equipped that is particularly efficient notebook with the newest Multimedia features and owing to the energy savings processor Intel core 2 solo SU3500 (1.4 gigahertz clock rate). Notebook is immediately available for approximately 900 Euro.

Lenovo Thinkpad T400s

Although less flat and sleek, Lenovo with the Thinkpad T400s does not address itself decidedly to Business user. It is equipped with plentifully extra features as well as innovations, which are to arrange the operation still more intuitive and facilitate the work everyday life. From the Design Lenovo oriented itself at the feather-easy Thinkpad X300.

The new model is only 2.11 centimeters high and weighs depending upon equipment 1772 g. It possesses a 14,1-Customs WXGA+ LED display with carbon fiber-strengthened display cover. This material is used for example also with production of bicycle frame or airplanes. Thus that is particularly easy and nevertheless robust notebook.

The T400s comes with 2.53 gigahertz fast Intel core 2 duo processors, with alternatively up to 128 GB SSD or 250 GB fixed disk, 9.5 Millimeter slim DVD burner or Blue ray player in the module pit, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, optional UMTS and Bluetooth as well as combined USB E SATA interface for the connection of external mass storages.

According to manufacturer the new Thinkpad creates two monitors up to six hours of battery life, beyond that supports it over an integrated display haven and VGA connection. It is compatible with the new generation of the Thinkpad Docking solutions, comes in the middle of July into the trade and costs scarcely 2100 Euro.

New trio of Toshiba

Likewise at its Business customers Toshiba thought with the three new models from the production rows Tecra S10 and Satellite Pro. The devices run all under Windows Vista.

The new Tecra S10 comes in the 15,4-Custom-Format (WXGA TFT display) as well as among other things with Intel Centrino 2 processor technology and a core 2 duo P8700 Cu 2.53 gigahertz clock rate, 160 gigabyte of large HDD and inserted 3-D-HDD Protection, two gigabyte main memory, WLAN 802.11a/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1. It costs approximately 1200 Euro.

The new 17-Duties Satellite Pro L350 comes among other things with Intel Centrino of the first generation with 2.0 gigahertz a fast core 2 duo processor, before-installed Windows Vista Business edition, 160 gigabyte of large non removable disk, two gigabyte main memory, mobile Intel Graphics Media accelerator 4500MHD, WLAN 802,11 b/g and VGA camera with face recognition software. The price is with approximately 600 Euro.

New Satellite Pro L300 in 15,4 the tariff format is settled with a price of approximately 450 euros rather in the lower equipment range and addresses themselves also owing to before-installed Windows Vista Home Premium rather to the Home Office user.

Furthermore it counts 160 gigabyte on Intel a Celeron 900 on 2.2 gigahertz clock rate as well as Intel Graphics Media accelerator 4500M and contains among other things a large non removable disk, gigabyte a main memory, WLAN 802,11 b/g, Ethernet LAN and analog modem.

Suitably to the summer and vacation announces 2009-06-25 Pentax with the Optio W80 the successor of the success model W60. The compact 12-Megapixel-Digital camera with optical 5fach-Zoom is hard in taking and with the crucial characteristics of the robustness in relation to its predecessor model was improved. It is protected not only in accordance with JIS 6 standard from dust, but also in accordance with JIS 8 from water. Up to two hours long it can go without additional underwater housing on dipping courses up to a depth from 5 meters. Additionally rubber treads at the housing corners protect the camera before damages with falls out up to 1 m head.

By its complete protection the Optio W80 is an ideal everyday life companion in situations, where one leaves other cameras rather at home as e.g. at the beach, when swimming or ski driving, because even temperatures to -10 °C do not constitute it anything. At the Design Pentax has minimum worked, above all the new rubber treads to the protection against hard impact on concrete is noticeable, inserts themselves however well. Who stands less on a grey camera, she will be able to acquire also in red or blue. Already starting from August 2009 it is to arrive for approximately 330 EUR into the trade.

Also technically the W80 has to offer some and opposite the W60 was improved. Thus the CCD sensor dissolves now 12 megapixels, hp video (1,280 X din 720 pixels) notes it now with 30 pictures per second. The 2.5 ” (6.1 cm) large and 230,000 pixels (circa 320 X din 240 pixels) solvent color screen shines for 1,5-times as brightly as with the W60 - but the battery life shortens on 170 photographs in accordance with CIPA standard measurement method (among other things with lightning with each second photo). For the autofocus now an auxiliary light stands to the side, beyond that can the user the focus manually in addition, stop or the infinite mode or the Hyper focal distance select. The latter offers the largest sharpness range with fast release without “annoying” autofocus, with which depending upon focal length from a certain distance up to infinitely everything one illustrates sharply.

The sensitivity of the compact camera hands of ISO 64 la 6,400, the vertical image control works however only electronically, which functions only with videos effectively. The optical 5fach-Zoom is enough with a luminous intensity of F3,5 (wide angle) to F5,5 (Tele) of converted 28-140 mm focal length. Numerous motive programs, a program mechanism as well as a motive mechanism offer many possibilities to the user of taking up photos. Also an interval photograph function inserted the W80. Besides the face recognition offers Blinzel and smile recognition further support, fast moved objects for up to 32 faces with can by means of adjust AF in the focus be kept even automatic. The W80 takes up macros starting from a minimum distance of 1 cm. With digital filters pictures can be worked over again camera-internally and provided even with frameworks; in addition the W80 offers a function to in-expose the stocktaking date directly in the photo. Inserted lightning provides for the necessary light, if it is too dark, or brightens shade up with high-contrast situations. The 99.5 x 56 x 24.5 mm small camera it brings to inclusive accumulator and SD or SDHC memory card on a weight of straight once 150 G.
