NextoDI intros Nexto Extreme storage device with eSATA support



Filed under:

NextoDI may not shake up the designs of its various photography-friendly storage devices very much, but it at least keeps up a steady pace with the technical upgrades, with its new Nexto Extreme ND2700 unit now adding some speedy eSATA support to the mix. Otherwise, you can expect the usual accommodations for a 2.5-inch hard drive, along with slots for just about any memory card you’re likely to use and, of course, a USB port for times when eSATA isn’t an option. Still no word on a price or release date, but we’re guessing you shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to get your hands on one.

Hands-on with Pentax’s new Optio lineup



Filed under:

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of excitement when Pentax releases new cameras in its Optio range — do you people only love them for their DSLRs? — but nonetheless, we gave them the same hands-on treatment that everyone else gets. Below you’ll find the new S12, E50, and M50 in all their seemingly-unpopular glory, despite the fact that they seemed like fairly stylish, solidly-built products to us. Still with us? Great, we’ve got a lot of multi-colored point-and-shoot action in store for you.

Mustek DV300T digital camera looks like a cellphone, isn’t



Filed under:

Mustek isn’t exactly known for its high-end cameras, and its new DV300T model sure looks to be no exception, although it at least attempts to make up for its shortcomings with versatility, not to mention a decidedly non-digital camera-like package. Those shortcomings begin with a max 3.1 megapixel resolution for still images and no optical zoom to speak of, but you will be able to use the device as a PMP, a voice recorder, and an e-book reader, although we’re sure even Mustek must have had a chuckle at including that as one of the “6-in1″ features. No word on a price, but if Mustek’s past cameras are any indication, you likely won’t have to worry about breaking the bank account on this one.
