Casio Announces Release of the EX-S500

Casio Press Release Excerpt:

True to the series, the EX-S500 model is barely bigger than a credit card and just .54” at its thinnest point.

Packed into the pocket-sized body are 5.0 mega pixels and MPEG-4 quality movie recording capabilities, allowing more than one hour of standard video recording when using a 1GB SD memory card. Casio’s EXILIM Engine’s Anti Shake Digital Signal Processor also makes blurry pictures nearly a thing of the past.

As with all digital cameras in the EXILIM Series, the EXILIM CARD features Casio’s EXILIM Engine, an image processing module that makes for high quality images, quick operation, and low power consumption that has made EXILIM the camera of choice for many users.       Read More

New Wallpaper: Seals from the Gulf of California

Sorry there weren't more posts this month, part of the reason was because I was on vacation.  But while I was on vacation in Mexico I was able to snap this photo with a Canon Powershot s400 for a new wallpaper.

This digital wallpaper was taken from a small island in the Gulf of California. This little island had a tremendous amount of seals for no apparent reason. It was taken on 6/15/2005. It is available in screen resolution sizes of 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, and 1600 x 1200.       See High Resolution Wallpaper
