Olympus’ 10MP EVOLT E-520 DSLR gets reviewed

Wednesday 30 July 2008 @ 1:07 pm

Filed under:

Although we were able to take an all-too-brief peek at Olympus’ EVOLT E-520 late last month, the results weren’t exactly indicative of what this thing is capable of — you know, considering the unit in question was defective. The cats over at PhotographyBLOG managed to secure a fully functional unit, and results were much, much improved. Although reviewers didn’t go quite so far as to call it the perfect camera, it sure came close in their eyes. Aside from the depressingly small viewfinder and the low quantity of AF sensors, critics found the unit quite hard to bash. Overall, it managed to snag a stellar 4.5 out of 5 rating, and better still, it was said to be just the thing for “beginners and enthusiasts alike.” Taking Olympus more seriously in your search for a suitable DSLR just might be in order.

Pure debuts ONE Elite DAB / FM radio

Wednesday 30 July 2008 @ 1:07 pm

Filed under: ,

There are few more prolific DAB proponents out there than the folks at Pure, and it looks like the company isn’t showing any signs of letting up, with it now introducing the ONE Elite radio to fill in its lower-end offerings. True to that status, this one keeps its features as basic as its appearance, with just DAB and FM radio and none of that fancy internet radio on offer, but you will get a line-in jack to accommodate the audio device of your choice, and even a USB port, although that’s apparently only used to provide updates to the radio itself. Like its other recent radios, this one is also manufactured to Pure’s own EcoPlus standards, and it’s available in your choice of black or white, each of which will set you back £70 (or $140).

Thermaltake’s V1 CPU cooler sure is real purty

Wednesday 30 July 2008 @ 7:07 am

Filed under: ,

Usually the terms “enthusiast cooling equipment” and “sexy, sexy” don’t go hand in hand, but Thermaltake has here an exception that proves the rule. This here V1 CPU, which retails for $60, can handle a nice assortment of Core 2 and Athlon processors, but we’d rather just set it up on a table somewhere and stare at the pretty lights. That’s a red dot design award well earned.

TiVo quietly removes Series3 from its webstore

Wednesday 30 July 2008 @ 7:07 am

Filed under: ,

Break out the tissues — the rumors were true. Or, at least it sure looks that way. As of right now, the only two TiVo units available on the outfit’s webstore are the TiVo HD and the Series2, and even if you do a bit of digging and find the still-active Series3 page, you’ll notice a glaring Out of Stock notification. Of course, you can still find leftover inventory hanging around at various resellers, but all signs are pointing to this being the final hurrah for the S3. Any touching moments you’d like to share in comments as we all bid the device a fond farewell?

[Thanks, Tim]
