Review: Pentax 645D
By TechRadar, published 25-11-2011
OverviewAs the manufacturer's first foray into the digital medium format arena, the Pentax 645D brings plenty of appealing features to the game, including a 40MP, 44 x 33mm, Kodak-developed CCD sensor that's designed to deliver professional image quality exceeding that of a 35mm full-frame DSLR.With a nod to Pentax's original medium format film 645 camera system, the new digital SLR version looks and feels every bit as solid as its well-respected 1980s-born ancestor, sporting a similarly intuitive design. Despite its retro looks, however, the Pentax 645D is equipped with a whole host of up-to-date photography technologies and plenty of advanced functionality: all in an easy-to-use package.The Pentax 645D has an RRP of £8999.99 for the camera body alone, or just shy of £10,000 to buy it a...

Film technology makes better digital prints
By TechRadar, published 09-07-2011
Technology developed for Kodak film production enables better inks to be made for the company's inkjet printer cartridges. According to Robert Ohlweiler, Kodak's Director of Consumer Inkjet for Europe, Africa and Middle East, Kodak's inkjet printers use pigment based inks and thanks to technology developed for its film production, Kodak is able to grind the pigment finer than any other manufacturer. The pigment particles are also more uniform than usual and both these facts enable Kodak prints to be made with better colour and smoother gradations.Despite the finer pigment particle sizes, Kodak can't quite match Epson for its minimum droplet size though. The new Kodak Hero printers, for example, use droplets of around 2.7 picolitres (pl) and 6pl. Epson's Stylus Photo R3000 which also uses ...
Kodak: 60% better off with other printers
By TechRadar, published 09-07-2011
Up to 60% of people are better off not using a Kodak printer according to Robert Ohlweiler, Kodak's Director of Consumer Inkjet for Europe, Africa and Middle East. Ohlweiler, explains that most printer manufacturers use a business model that means they make much more money from inks sales than printer sales. In fact, he says that for every £1 spent on a printer, approximately £3 is spent on ink. Kodak takes a different approach by charging a bit more for its printers so that it can keep its ink costs down.According to Kodak research, the low printer cost, high ink price model suits the majority (around 60%) of people who make very few prints. However, 'photo-active families', home-office users and those who make a lot of prints get better value from the Kodak approach. As it launched its...

Review: Leica S2
By TechRadar, published 21-06-2011
Twenty grand is a lot of money. By today's prices that will buy you a brand-new Mini Cooper, a deposit on a house, or even a university education. With £20,000 you can buy a lot of camera kit, too: a pair of Nikon D3X bodies with 14-24mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses plus an Apple MacBook Pro, 27-inch screen and the whole Adobe Creative Suite doesn't come to that much. But what if you could also spend this princely sum on just one camera body and a standard lens. Would you? That's about what the Leica S2 costs when paired with with its standard lens, the Summarit 70mm f/2.5. The Leica S2 is a medium-format camera, meaning its sensor is bigger than you'd find in a full-frame DSLR – 56% bigger in this case. There are many other medium-format cameras on the market of cours...
Buying Guide: Best all in one printer: 8 reviewed and rated
By TechRadar, published 19-06-2011
All-in-one printers are an attractive prospect. Not only can you print with them, you can also scan, photocopy, fax and email documents without the need for separate machines, saving you space as well as money. They can be awkward devices though, with the façade of a home office utopia often crumbling to reveal a disappointing reality of sub par print and scanning quality – as well as other evidence of too many features spread too thin. This is especially true at the lower end of the market. You could easily get an all-in-one printer for around £60, but corners may have been cut in too many areas to make this purchase worthwhile. If you spend a bit more on a mid-range all-in-one, around the £100-£150 price range, you'll notice remarkable improvements across the board. If you want an ...
Nokia denies Microsoft buyout rumours
By TechRadar, published 16-05-2011
A senior executive at Nokia has responded to rumours that Microsoft is readying a bid for the mobile arm of the Finnish company, saying they were wide of the mark.Nokia and Microsoft decided to partner up back in February in a bid to take on Android.So far we have not seen this partnership bear fruit, but from day one there was speculation that this could be more than just strategic – a test bed for Microsoft taking Nokia under its wing.News today that Nokia was getting rid of the Ovi brand and sticking with just Nokia has fuelled speculation that a takeover was on the cards, with Nokia know-it-all Eladr Murtazin saying in a blog (which was translated from Russian by Unwired View): "Next week Nokia will start the negotiations about the sale of its phone unit to Microsoft.

Apple Likely Partnering, Not Purchasing Nuance
By SlashGear, published 05-11-2011
There has been all sorts of speculation around the web about whether Apple will shell out some of the pile of excess cash it has laying around and purchase Nuance. And last year, Steve Wozniak made a big flub and speculated that Apple would buy Nuance, later retracting his statement. But a move yesterday by Nuance to make an acquisition itself casts doubt on a purchase of the company by Apple. One of Nuance’s major strengths is in its speech recognition software, and the speculation has been that Apple may decide to buy the company in order to improve the speech recognition capability of iOS. Nuance’s acquisition of Equitrac, a print management firm, makes it look unlikely that Nuance is preparing to be purchased by anyone. Any deal they do with Apple will be a partnership, n...
SlashGear Week in Review – Week 18 2011
By SlashGear, published 05-01-2011
Welcome to the latest edition of the SlashGear Week in Review! Monday bought with it news that Nintendo was set to unveil a replacement for the Wii console at E3 this summer. The console itself is due to land for purchase sometime next year according to reports. The biggest story of the week has been the Sony PSN outage. Sony admitted that the Dev accounts and user accounts were hacked by outside sources. A really cool LEGO helmet that looks like the ones the Minifig astronauts wear that is sized for kids to be able to put on turned up. The helmet is very cool and has speakers inside to read LEGO comics to the kids via a digital file right off a USB drive plugged into the back of the helmet. Apple is facing its first class action suit over the tracking of user location details on the iP...
Review: Epson Stylus Office BX625FWD
By TechRadar, published 30-04-2011
Rather than a sleek touchscreen like the Lexmark Genesis S815 or HP Photosmart Plus, the Epson Stylus Office BX625FWD is controlled via a slightly intimidating array of buttons. It also has a colour LCD screen on the front, but none of the step-by-step guides provided by HP Photosmart Plus B210a or Kodak ESP 7250. As the name implies, this is an all-in-one that focuses on the job at hand. There's no button for printing Sudoku puzzles here. This aversion to bells and whistles is admirable only if the resulting device is of a high quality. Thankfully, when it comes to prints, the results are just that. The colour and detail outperform many more expensive printers. Full A4 photo printouts not only look very good, but are printed quietly and quickly. Increasing the print quality reduces the ou...
Review: HP Photosmart Plus B210a
By TechRadar, published 29-04-2011
Most all-in-one printers concern themselves with four main areas: printing, scanning, faxing and photocopying. The HP Photosmart Plus B210a adds web apps to this list. While almost every all-in-one can connect to your home network, this one supports third-party apps, giving you even more options for what to do with your photos. For example, the Snapfish icon lets you upload photos you've scanned to the Snapfish website, where you can edit and share them. You can also use Snapfish to transform photos into canvases, photo books, calendars and more. Other apps let you find and print articles from the internet without turning on your PC, and print out calendars, notepaper and even games. A press of the touchscreen gives you a sheet of Sudoku puzzles, for example. All the apps and other functio...
Kodak Announces ESP Office 2170 All-in-One Inkjet With Mobile And 3D Photo Printing
By SlashGear, published 25-04-2011
Kodak has announced its new addition to the All-in-one Inkjet Printer line, the ESP Office 2170 AiO printer. Like many new printers the Office 2170 will do away with cables as it can connect to your wireless network and it multifunctions to scan, fax, and copy. But it adds to that some features that sound cool, but you may seldom use, including the option to print direct from your mobile devices, print from video, and print 3D photos. The Kodak ESP Office 2170 will be able to directly print from your Blackberry device, as well as your iPhone, iPad, iPad 2, and iPod Touch. The printer is also cost efficient since the largest amount of money spent during a printer’s life is on the ink. The Office 2170 can churn out 670 black text pages on a single black ink 30XL cartridge and 550 color ...
Kodak Seeks $1B In Royalties From Apple, RIM
By SlashGear, published 25-03-2011
Kodak is seeking more than $1 billion in royalties from electronics giants Apple and RIM over a patent in digital camera technology the companies employ in the cameras of their mobile devices. The International Trade Commission is going to announce whether it will review an ITC judge’s earlier decision that ruled in favor of Apple and RIM and said that the companies did not violate patents. The patents in question deal with low resolution image previews. Kodak has already received close to $1 billion in a settlement from Korean tech companies LG and Samsung related to the same patent. The judge that ruled in the LG and Samsung case was a different ITC judge than the one from the Apple and RIM case. The ITC can’t enforce monetary damages, but it can block imports that infringe on U.S....

By GameSpot, published 03-11-2011
Sterne Agee's Arvind Bhatia thinks House of Mario might reveal system specifications for its next platform at this year's annual trade show in Los Angeles. Yesterday, Nintendo announced that the 454,000 Wiis it sold in February helped the system reach 35 million units sold in the United States since arriving in 2006.

3D Doesn’t Work and Never Will, Says Oscar-Winning Editor
By SlashGear, published 24-01-2011
Earlier today, Roger Ebert posted a letter from Robert Murch. If you aren’t a film geek, Murch is a multiple-Oscar award winning editor. He worked on “Apocalypse Now” and “The English Patient” and is pretty much the best at what he does. Murch doesn’t think 3D will ever be a viable mainstream technology. Most of his argument comes down to the fact that 3D films require our eyes to converge and focus at two different points. This is something we are capable of doing, but not without significant additional strain. Which is why headaches are such a common symptom of extended 3D viewing. Our brains just haven’t evolved to handle it. No one can argue that the convergence / focus issue isn’t a problem, but there seems to be considerable argument ...
