Canon PowerShot SX30 IS Compact Super Zoom with 35x


Canon PowerShot SX30 has redefined the compact super zoom category with its 24-840mm lens with Optical Image Stabilization, featuring a mind boggling 35x zoom.

Max lens' brightness varies from f/2.7 to f/5.7 within the zoom range.

It features a 14.1 MP, 1/2.3" CCD with Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor with a sensitivity range of ISO 80-1600.

The SX30 features a variable angle, 2.7-inch LCD for easy composition when holding the camera overhead or low to the ground.

The camera uses a Lithium ion rechargeable battery rather than the standard AA batteries found on previous models, making powering up much easier.

A Zoom Framing Assist button allows the user to zoom out, find the subject and then zoom back in, alleviating some of the difficulty associated with super zoom photography, wherein handshake can make you lose the subject easily and the narrow field of view at high focal lengths makes it difficult to re-acquire it.

The estimated selling price of the PowerShot SX30 IS is $429.99 and will be available in late September.

Canon may well have triggered a zoom war with the launch of the SX30.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
