Celebrating a milestone birthday recently I got a couple of neat tech gifts.
The guys at work spoiled me with a Philips photo display. It’s actually very, very cool. You can load up pictures into like a USB drive or even add an SD card. The quality is really good.
Another present (I brought myself), is a Sony T9 digital camera. It’s small enough to carry in your case all the time, but the main reason I got it is for the ’super steady shot’ feature.
Sony’s Super SteadyShot® system uses sensors to detect camera movement while it sends correcting signals in order to stabilize the lens. This system results in the reduction of image blur and camera shake when shooting in low light.
I was finding with my last small digital camera that about 1 shot in 3 was blurred. I’m still getting used to it but the T9 seems a lot better.
