Casio Exilim EX-FH20 high speed camera review

This camera is not a bad camera, it has good and bad points which I will tell you about now. I will start with the nagative points for this camera because there is not many of them but there is one quite large one. The biggest problem for me was the high speed movie mode, The reason I got this camera, It needs a lot of light to see what you are recording when in this mode, When I say a lot of light I mean a hell of a lot of light, For some reason the picture goes very dark as soon as the shutter button is presses. The second negative is the batteries, It uses 4 AA batteries, This in itself is not a massive problem as they are very common and can be purchased anywhere and you dont have the problem of your rechargable li-ion battery going dead and then waiting ages for it to charge, The problem is the battery life, They do not last long, not even the better brands. The final negative is the fixed lcd screen, the camera that this replaced (my previous camera) had a milti-position screen, I miss this function but unless you have had the option in the past or you are looking to replace a camera with a multi position screen then this will not bother you. Now for the better points, I replaced my nikon p90 with this camera but before I sold my p90 I did a quality comparison by taking the same 16 shots with both cameras set to their best quality shot setting, Even though the p90 was 12MP and this exilim is just 9MP and the p90 has a 24x zoom compared with the exilims 20x zoom the exilim produced 14 of the 16 shots better than the nikon p90, this was not just my opinion, I asked 4 other people for their opinions too. The exilim also has some other great features including 18 best shot modes, this is a small selection, Portrait, scenery, sports, flower, natural green, autumn leaves, sundown, high speen night scene, fireworks, multimotion image and digital panning. Overall, the camera was easy to use, has a good zoom (20x + Digital zoom if needed) it has a viewfinder if you want to turn off the lcd. I would not buy this camera for the high speed video option unless you have a very well lit area where you can record your videos. I hope you have found this review quite helpful, If so please vote for it, thanks.

30gb ipod video 5th gen

I love this ipod, yes I know its not the newest ipod around but it has a 30gb hard drive, even the newest nano only has 16gb. Simply because there is newer ipods out there means that the older ipods have become so cheap now. ipods, for the people that do not know, are so easy to use. with the scroll wheel making finding that 1 song from the thousands you have on the player so simple and easy to find. If you are looking to buy an ipod but not so bothered about the age, this should be considered as they are so cheap now. I got a 30gb 5th gen for about £60 with p+p.
