2 of fiery Kindle tablets

Amazon has updated the family of Kindle Fire tablets by release two new Kindle Fire HDX with high-resolution screens. New Kindle Fire screens have a 7 and 8,9 inches. In addition to some of the changes Amazon has made this tablets is faster and more affordable.

Kindle Fire HDX has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 for a 7-inch model (323 pixels per inch) and resolution 2560 x 1600 pixels in 8.9-inch model (339 ppi), which cover the entire space of sRGB. Dynamic contrast adjustment is built in such a way that, depending on the ambient light allows equally well read images in a variety of conditions.

Center of ignition for the new Kindle Fire are single-chip quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 operating at 2.2 GHz under control Android 4.2, which in the Amazon called the Fire OS 3.0 Mojito. Kindle Fire HDX is the first Amazon tablets on this SoC and the first tablets with a clock speed over 2GHz. In comparison with Kindle Fire HD processors HDX models have three times greater performance and twice the amount of RAM that is now 2GB. New Kindle tablets equipped with front-facing camera and the main camera with a matrix of 8 MP.

Battery life of tablet reaches 11 hours, in read mode - 17 hours. An interesting feature is a function of instantaneous communication with technical support Mayday Button. Both models are available in versions Wi-Fi 802.11 or Wi-Fi + 4G LTE. The use of a single-layer touch screen and one-piece body made of magnesium alloy has reduced the weight and thickness. Tablet weight Kindle Fire HDX 8,9 is 374g (34% less than that of a similar tablet Fire HD) and the dimensions are 231x158x7,8 mm.

Kindle Fire HDX 7" and Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" are avalable now

Canon G16 riding on comet

No, it's not deja vu. The new Canon G16 as twin brother looks like a G15. The only thing that distinguishes the model is in a different placement of the thumb for a shortcut button, which freed up space for the Wi-Fi antenna.

Wi-Fi and video 1080/60p Those could have been great news in the past year. Somewhat ironic that this was used as the main argument today. There is nothing particularly new in the Wi-Fi implementation. Canon places emphasis on increase of performance, but based on the technical characteristics of this is not quite true.

G16 really makes continuous shooting faster 9.3fps and longer queue than the G15. Digic processor promises better ISO 80 - 12800, but this is nothing more than using the old 12.1MP CMOS sensor with new algorithms.

Canon G16 camera will be released in 2014, when the cameraphones will make it uncompetitive. Pay at $ 549 for the lens? In any case it can't compete with Sony RX100 for $650 and Sony A3000 for $400.

Canon G16 with too overpriced deserves attaching to first passing comet, which will carry it away.

The smartest camera Samsung NX1, which can compete with the more professional colleagues

A new camera flagship enters the market under the patronage of Samsung from within NX series, which is already known to the public. And now the new NX1 will be equipped with new technological wireless connectivity unlike from the previous model, which was using the cell-based one, never satisfying at practice.

In addition we can see an upgraded outer design giving an owner the same satisfaction, as using a professional camera. But don't let yourself confuse that this one is far from it, as the lens, which is likely to be used for NX1 is 16-50mm f2-2.8 and the new smart implementations in it.

In front was seen a 28.2 MP CMOS sensor with backside illumination created to capture more light, than the older versions could, imbedding a true image into the 4K picture. NX AF System III autofocus detects the quickly moving objects and doesn’t keep its focus on them allowing you to firmly take a shot at any crowded event.

Another Hi-Tech stuff, which could be really helpful in the dark, is an AF Assist Beam that shoots almost an invisible beam of light to lighten the focused subject in the range of 15 meters, so it is useless at far away distances. Samsung pledges a new DRIMe V Image Processor will allow the better reproduction of all your images taken and reducing the extraneous pixilation, which could spoil your best picture of the day.

As already told the device will allow connecting itself wirelessly, using NFC, WiFi, and Bluetooth. You can share your pictures using the NFC compatible devices, an AutoShare function to share it between your Android tablet and smartphone or save only on SD card. You can also use your smartphone to control the camera remotely by pairing the devices together.

The sales should start in October at a price estimated on $1500 level. We will get back with more news, when Samsung itself reveals them.

Quad-Core 1.2 GHz, together with 1 GB of RAM (DDR3) is more than enough for a quick and smoother scrolling, if all you need is to browsing or check emails. Performance shortage will be felt for a more intense games on the platform of Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2.

As standard 16 GB internal memory which can be extended by another 32 GB through the expansion of Micro SD. Today, ever less tablets come with a memory card expansion. It's great to see that Asus is not one of them. 5-megapixel camera, which makes decent shots, but rely on it for capturing special moments is not necessary. About Video-chat and  Selfies take care 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera.
