This 7 inch frame can accept photos from a memory card or USB slot, plus allows you to Bluetooth pictures straight from any compatible device.

The EOS 40D latest digital SLR for advanced amateurs and semi-professionals with a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 6.5 frames per second burst performance, a newly developed AF system and 3.0†LCD with Live View mode, the EOS 40D makes significant advances in both performance and versatility.
The camera benefits from the new EOS technology platform introduced earlier this year with the professional EOS‑1D Mark III.

Remember that funky looking JVC GR-DA20 we showed you a few weeks back? Well it turns out that its US variant — the JVC GR-DA30US — has a very low price too, at $199.99, shipping this October (on the 15th, if Amazon is to be believed.) The obvious stand-out feature is the sliding LCD mounted on the back of the camera, which is probably going to invoke polarized rants of “like it / love it.” What’s for sure is that you won’t be able to do the video blogging thing and turn the LCD around on itself with this camcorder.

Aside from confusing upgrade numbering (how does X2 follow XI?), the most immediately noticeable change Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 (PSPX2) brings is its excellent “graphite” interface. In addition, a new Express Lab greatly speeds photo editing, and an added Layer Styles feature strengthens the program’s already-powerful graphics-creation capabilities. The combination, along with other improvements, creates a potent image-editing and graphics application.
