The Panasonic Lumix LX3

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3, a compact digital camera with a Leica lens that costs less than $500 and has a rabid following of professional photographers and photo geeks, who love its performance and pedigree – Henri Cartier-Bresson famously, used a Leica to take his candid photos of street life in France throughout most of the last century.

The Lumix LX3 digital camera has a dedicated following among photographers for its crisp photos, retro styling and Leica lens. It doesn't have a power zoom but it's the first camera that comes close to shooting the city images Nikki Waller has been looking for.

In a world of lozenge-shaped silver cameras, the sensible black LX3 (also available in silver) is chunky and solid, sort of like an old Brownie camera. It's retro right down to the lens cap, though that feature is a little inconvenient since you have to pop it off every time you want to start shooting.

But the size is right – the LX3 weighs about eight ounces and fits easily in a purse or coat pocket – and it's easy to handle. The up-to-date preview screen is a lush three inches, so you can do a lot of editing and reviewing of your shots before you load them onto a computer.

The LX3 combines some of the best features of single-lens reflex, or SLR, cameras with the common, user-friendly features of most digital cameras, such as image stabilization, which corrects for shaky handling. The camera's 35mm equivalent lens and aperture range are more commonly found on much more expensive full-size cameras, which means that advanced photographers can customize to their heart's content and achieve near-professional results.

For the rest of us, this means we can pull the unit out of the box and start shooting. (Provided, of course that we can decipher the instructions; the manual provided with the camera was fairly opaque, and there's no standalone quick-start guide.

The biggest downside is the camera's very limited zoom, which can make even the most majestic vistas seem a little puny – the Manhattan skyline lacked oomph when shot from the Brooklyn Bridge. For about $500 – cheaper than a DSLR but at least $100 more than comparable compact digital units – is the LX3 worth it?

If you're just looking for something cheap for snapshots, this camera is too expensive and has a steep learning curve. But if you're chafing at the limits of basic digital cameras and want to take your photography to the next level, the LX3 beckons to be taken for a spin.

Microsoft Says Vista Service Pack 2 Coming Soon

Microsoft - Windows 7 to Ship Oct. on 22

Finally the confirmation has been made from Microsoft. They will be shipping Microsoft’s Windows 7 on 22 oct 2009. "I can finally confirm Windows 7 timing," the spokesperson said in an e-mail to InformationWeek, noting the Oct. 22 release date. The spokesperson also said the company is launching a program called Windows Upgrade Option that will allow customers who bought Vista-powered PCs to upgrade to Windows 7.

Such upgrade programs are generally meant to convince consumers not to hold off purchasing PCs during the time period between when a new product is announced and when it's actually available.

Microsoft plans to deliver more of the details around Windows 7's release at the Computex computer trade show Wednesday morning in Taipei. There, Steve Guggenheimer, corporate VP for Microsoft's OEM unit, will talk about the company's plans for distributing the OS during a scheduled keynote address.

Microsoft will ship several versions of Windows 7, including Starter Edition, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and, for emerging markets only, Home Basic.

On Monday, a Microsoft official said the company has nixed plans to prevent Windows 7 Starter Edition from running more than three PC applications at one time. Previously, Microsoft had said that Starter Edition, which is purpose-built to run on increasingly popular, low-powered computers known as netbooks, would support no more than three apps at a time.

Microsoft is hoping that the Windows 7 operating system helps it recover from the Microsoft windows Vista debacle. Vista failed to catch on with mainstream computer users and businesses have shunned it outright. Windows 7 is said to be lighter and easier to use than its predecessor. It also includes slick new features such as built-in support for touch screens and tools that improve day-to-day tasks such as desktop searches and PC-to-PC file transfers.

The software maker plans to cripple the beta version of Windows 7 on July 1.

Starting on that date, users who are still running Windows 7 Beta will see their computers shut down and reboot every two hours. The interruptions are designed to encourage early adopters to move to Windows 7 Release Candidate, a more polished preview version of Microsoft's next operating system. Windows 7 Release Candidate will function until June 1, 2010. After that, users will need to upgrade to a full, paid version of the Microsoft operating system to continue use.

Microsoft last week introduced a bundle of software applications that leverage Windows 7's built-in support for touch-screen interfaces.

The Windows 7 Touch Pack includes Microsoft Surface Globe, a 3-D map of the Earth that users can navigate through with their fingertips; Surface Collage, a digital photo organizer and editing program; and Microsoft Surface Lagoon, an aquatic-themed screensaver in which fish and other creatures react to touch.

The Search Box gadget uses AJAX Search APIs to power the feature and also automatically updates the custom linked search engine when you update your blog, blog lists, or link lists.

Custom search can be a useful tool for blogs because it allows readers to not only search a blog's content but also any pages or favored sites that are linked to, giving readers a related, but still-focused, search experience.
