For those who are craving for dSLR quality with their pictures, but are hoping to avoid the size that came along with the technology so far, there is definite good news in the air. The much anticipated and hotly debated about Sigma DP2 will soon be up for grabs and depending on whom you believe this will be either at the beginning of May of maybe at the fag end of the month.
Either way, the DP2’s availability should please all those who have been clamoring for it since long. Both Amazon and B&H have pre-order pages up for it and if you wish to bring one home to snap up some great shots this late summer, then maybe now is the time to order. While B&H says May on availability, Amazon preferred the vague ‘one to two months’ approach.
By June, you could pocket the DP2, if you are willing to part with $649!
How about taking home a gadget that allows you to burn 50,000 JPEG Images, 17,500 MP3 Songs, or 25 DVD Movies on a single disc? If you are excited about the prospect, then try bringing home the latest Mercury Pro Blu-ray/SuperDrive “Quad Interface” External Drive from OWC. The only “Quad Interface” Blu-ray Drive range in the market today, the lineup from OWX just got better with the new Mercury Pro offering Blu-ray and DVD burning for any PC or Mac with FireWire 800, FireWire 400, USB 2.0 or eSATA connectivity.
Capable of writing Blu-ray discs at 8x speeds at 2GB per minute, the newest Pro can burn DVDs at speeds of 16x and CDs at 32x speed. Coming bundled with all cables and two 25GB Blu-ray BD-R discs, the OWC Mercury Pro is available for a reasonable price of $399.99 and in case you want the added bonus of full retail version of Roxio Toast 10 Titanium, then it will cost you $479.99.
