Canon raises the stakes for all-in-one digital imaging devices with the release of the Canon Optura 500 (and the companion Optura 400; see a comparison table at the end), which is as adept at shooting digital video as it is snapping high-resolution digital stills. Shorter and more lightweight than its predecessors, the brushed silver Optura 500 weighs just 1.2 pounds with tape and battery and measures 2.1 x 4.2 x 4.0 inches. Like its sibling, the Optura 500 offers 2.2-megapixel resolution for fine video and photo details, a 10x optical zoom lens, image stabilization, built-in SD/MMC memory card slot, and PictBridge compatibility for direct printing of still photos to compatible printers. The Optura 500 also adds a higher resolution LCD, mini video light, ring light adapter for close-up shots, MPEG4 video for email and Web, and USB 2.0 connectivity for streaming.
Optics and Resolution
The Optura 500 has a 2.2-megapixel CCD, which produces 1230K effective pixels for video and 2 million effective pixels for still photos, for images up to 1623 x 1224 pixels (good enough for print enlargements up to 8 x 10 inches). Canon's camcorder lens features the same quality found in 35mm and broadcast TV cameras, and the Optura 500 has a 10x optical zoom lens that delivers good definition and contrast as well as a 200x digital zoom. In addition, the lenses feature a unique spectral coating to reduce flare and ghosting, resulting in optimal indoor and outdoor shots.
The RGB Primary Color Filter separates light passing through the lens into red, green and blue color components providing similar color quality found in professional 3 CCD camcorders, yielding truer more natural looking colors. Canon's DIGIC DV signal processing circuit makes it possible to achieve accurate color for both video and digital photos. Since video and digital photos have different color requirements, DIGIC DV utilizes two different color techniques to maximize video quality on a TV and still image quality for print or computer display.
Shooting Video
With the high-resolution 16:9 widescreen mode, the Optura 500 utilizes the entire width of the CCD (unlike some systems that electronically stretch the picture vertically) retaining image quality and providing a wider horizontal angle of view that is ideal for creating a theater-like experience. A variety of Program Auto Exposure settings allow for easy, optimal shooting in a wide range of lighting situations. The Optura 500 is also equipped with Manual Audio Level Control, commonly found only on prosumer camcorder models, and a swivel grip and palm pad, providing maximum comfort when shooting for long periods of time.
Offering improved compression over Motion JPEG, the Optura 500's advanced MPEG4 allows you to record the full length of your SD Card in high-quality 325 x 288 resolution.
Still Photos
The Optura 500 saves still image files to Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards (an 8 MB card is included with the camcorder). It offers a number of photographic controls that make it easy to get the right shot, including:
Other Features
A Mini Video Light allows you to shoot up to 4.9 feet away in total darkness. It can be switched on in any Program mode. For shooting close-up subjects (less than 12 inches away), the supplied Ring Light Adapter provides even illumination and prevents shadows.
The advanced Image Stabilization system works behind the scenes even when youÕre panning and zooming, shooting videos or photos. The Optura 500's large, high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD (211,000 pixels versus the Optura 400's 123,000 pixels) and color viewfinder helps you compose shots from any angle.
With the press of the Night Mode button, the camcorder automatically selects a slow shutter speed and increases the sensitivity of the CCD to brighten the image, while still preserving color. Two additional low-light settings can be assigned to the Night Mode button--Super Night Mode and Night++ Mode. When selected, Super Night Mode automatically triggers the white LED Lamp when needed to enhance the subject for shooting. Night++ Mode is used in the toughest lighting situations, keeping the white LED Lamp on all the time.
Connectivity
The Optura 500 connects to Macs and Windows-based PCs via a Firewire terminal (also known as iLink or IEEE1394), enabling high video and audio quality during duplication or editing. It's also equipped with a high-speed USB 2.0 terminal, which Windows Movie Maker2 supports, for video footage transfer and DV streaming.
An Analog Line-in/Out with Analog/Digital Converter allows you to easily transform your analog memories into digital, all in real-time. The camcorder also features a Network Mode, which enables you to remotely control your camcorder through the DVÊMessenger2 software application. Control the focus and zoom of your camcorder from a computer while streaming the video via its Firewire terminal.
What's in the Box
This package contains the Optura 500 digital video camcorder, rechargeable battery pack (NB-2LH), power adapter (CA-570), wireless controller (WL-D84), A/V cable, 8 MB SD memory card, USB 2.0 cable, ring light adapter, and Digital Video Solution CD-ROM, which includes:

Accessories: Product Features:
ASIN: B000A405ZQ |
Product Description
The compact WS-15 is a sleek 2-way design for any channel of your home theater system. The WS-15 can also seamlessly blend with the WS-100s and 60s in a multi-channel system to create a breathtakingly realistic soundstage. Lightweight, extremely efficient and attractive in appearance, the WS-15 also features a built in wall mounting solution. The WS-15 sounds awesome when mated with the matching AS-P4000 or AS-P6000 subwoofer.Amazon.com Product Description
From the minds of Athena engineers comes the WS flat-panel speaker series--a versatile, stylish line designed for audiophiles on a budget. Each WS speaker shares a few common characteristics: high-quality injection-molded polypropylene cone woofers; 1-inch Teteron dome tweeters; crisp, clear, stunningly realistic sound; and a slim, richly designed speaker enclosure. The overall effect is powerful and attractive, making this a great system for anyone who wants to tease out the full audio potential of his or her flat-screen TVs.
The WS-15 offers three wall-mounting slots and gold-plated spring-type terminals. |
The speakers' high-quality 3.5-inch polypropylene woofer cones with rubber surrounds provide a long excursion and low distortion. |
Setup is a breeze thanks to the WS-15s' built-in wall-mounting solution. Each WS-15 features a rear leg under the terminals that functions as a base when sitting on furniture. However, if you wish to wall mount the speaker, simply flip it upside down and hang it from a single nail or screw. It not only offers a slot for straight-ahead mounting, but two additional slots for mounting at an angle. You can also flip the grille to match the new speaker orientation. It's that simple.
Audio specifications range from a frequency response of 100 Hz to 20 kHz to a crossover point of 2.7 kHz to power handling of 100 watts. Finally, the WS-15s boast sturdy, easy-to-connect gold-plated spring-type terminals that work with up to 12-gauge speaker wire. Each speaker measures 4.2 by 6.7 by 4 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.
