some thing to look for, when buying a camera
if u are budget minded, go for 3x optical slim ones( market is full of this) nowadays high megapixles somewhat compensate the optical zoom
check if there is auto mode available in night mode. this means, when in night mode where flash is not useful, there is auto mode and u dont worry about shakes and vibrations.
check if u can zoom in and out while taking videos. few models dont have this.
if u are buying a 10x optical zoom see the maximum coverage space at zero zoom. in sony models this is higher.
today even in 10x optical zoom models some cameras have their own battery. this means you dont need to buy battery and bulky chargers seperately
smile detection is not important but this ensures that face detection is already present, this is needful as it adjusts flash focus accordingly
Sony with Carl-Zeiss lens is >>>>>>> Sony with otherwise lens.Quote:

ok hubbers, I have done my best and added some sites links given by u in my first post of the thread. :ty: for ur valuable contributions.
Guys,
thought of upgrading/replacing my 1 Din car audio with a 2 Din. Preferably with a TFT screen to it.. Any recommendations? already have a pair of co-axial speakers in the Boot. pair of 4 inch speakers in the rear doors, pair of 6 inch speakers in front door - all sony xplod. also JBL tweeters. But the player is the basic model of sony xplod, the one that came free with the car. If i change that to a 2 din, will the output be better?

Notebooks - all come after Toshiba, IMO, in the Microsoft world.
As mentioned before, I admire A-V quality of Macs -and they seem to be more sturdy and reliable as well from what I've seen - but staying away from them due to price. There were software availability / compatibility issues in the past, but now with most end-user applications using browser or similar interfaces, that's not a big deal anymore, but price is still an issue. One can also have multiple OS and run windows apps.
Sony is the shiniest (possibly best A-V in windows world), but with reliability issues. I have seen every one of them ( 4 numbers with my friends / relatives) develop some kind of hardware issues, some as stupid as "contact problems".
Dell doesn't have much reliability issues, decent performance and cost, but the least shiny. Safe bet for someone who does not want to lose money and are satisfied with average A-V.
HP/Compaq is not even in the radar, forget it. One company that lost its customer focus, almost totally. Same for Thinkpads (IBM sold it to Lenova and washed off hands, worst A-V possibly).
Acer the cheapest - great if people find it reliable:-)
All said, give me a Toshiba anyday - competitive price & reliability coming together :-)
disclaimer - the prices / machines I talk about are applicable in the US market and I lost touch with the Indian ones.
Oh. So when it comes to laptops Toshiba is the best, rite ???
siv, dont worry! few tips:-Quote:

don't open too many windows and tabs
try to always remove unused programs running in background. this is somewhat tricky but very important
very imp: spend Rs.600 and buy an laptop cooling pad which comes with 2 to 3 fans at the bottom. u shud place ure laptop in this. if u r budget minded, a local one for Rs.100 is available
keep ur laptop table clean, dont allow dust to settle.
try cleaning ur laptop monthly once
if possible, start using Ubuntu Linux and avoid windows as much possible
Isn't IBM still a strong brand when it comes to enterprise laptops? :roll:Quote:

Lenova = poorest quality :-(
I'm using my second thinkpad (first one IBM branded and sold by them, then company sold to lenova and supported by Lenova and the second one Lenova branded, both employer provided) and both had the worst keyboards I've ever seen, weakest audio I've ever seen on laptops and otherwise too nothing extraordinary to write about.
Lenova doesn't do anything to improve quality IMSO.
I'll have to still give them good marks for sending "replacement keyboards". However, that doesn't encourage me to suggest people to buy that brand :-)
I'm using a Lenovo for more than 3 years and the performance has been nothing short of awesome. I agree the audio is very very feeble through the speakers. I always use headphones, so I'm not really worried about the weak sound.
OTOH, I have handled a lot of Dell Latitude laptops in my previous job and had faced one problem or another in almost every laptop. The after sales service of Dell is excellent, but those niggles shouldn't be there in the first place. They are little expensive as well.
Toshiba and Lenovo are the two brands I always suggest to my friends when it comes to laptops.
LM,
My replaced Lenova keyboard too has now developed a "lazy" shift key (won't bounce in time, so two caps can happen when you attempt just one; often I'm forced to retype passwords).
The left key of the trackpad too has a broken leaf and hinges on the other. I'm just waiting for the couple of months before I get a new machine and I use it only occasionally thanks to the workload on the client's machine :-)
Coming from a hardware dev / mfg background of over a decade, I'm normally very soft on electronics:-)
With personal experiences like the ones I have with Thinkpads (poor kind of switches / keyboards) it's difficult for me to rate this product as an impressive one -especially when superior products are there.
My frequent rants to the IT support at my company (and many similar complaints from other users, I think) have now resulted in a policy change - that of not buying a brand in bulk by IT dept :-)
They've started giving consultants the freedom to buy any brand / config (upto a $ limit) themselves and get reimbursement, albeit on an experimental / limited scale :-)
Need an information on Sony Ericssion Mobiles.
Any phone which is presently available in Market Or coming in near future with following features?
Bar Type (No compromise),
3.2 Mpx Camera with Auto Focus
LED (or Xenon flash)
Mega Bass
HPM Headset ('In ear' headphones)
Please give your suggestion. Preferably Walkman series! :D
Any upcoming models?
Question: Is it advisable to upgrade the RAM in laptop? (For upgrading my OS from Vista to Win 7, I have 2 GB DDR 2 RAM in my laptop)
I think you'll have to...even 32bit version of Windows7 calls for 3GB RAM I was told by experts.Quote:
