Having both reviewed the Pentax K-x and Pentax K-r cameras for more than a year, makes us very familiar with Pentax’s ways of producing DSLRs. Enter the K-30, the highest megapixel DSLR in the trilogy with the biggest body, but also is waterproof, shockproof, and also considerably better looking. We took it out for a few jaunts around Manhattan and elsewhere, and after the break, shots in their full glory on the Pentax K-30 are in a gallery. And is this the low to mid-range camera you’d want for $1,200 to $900?
Let’s just say Pentax has something special going on here; it’s best to know how well (or badly) the Pentax K-30 performs by giving it a full review.
Let’s make this interesting and odd as possible: for decades, we thought that the Sun varies in size because of magnetic forces part of an 11-year solar cycle. Turns out, that’s all dead wrong.
And here’s what is really the cool part: there interchangeable WASD and cursor keys and the entire keyboard’s backlighting is capable of 16 million color variants.
Adobe has been fed up with the mobile Flash experience. First on Android, then some mess on webOS, and Adobe has called it quits, now support HTML5. From now on, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean devices will not receive support to use Flash, and existing phone and tablets below that version number will be unable to start any fresh installs from the Google Play Store.
Sure enough, Gran Turismo 6 is in development. The world’s most famous driving simulator is also famous for its incredibly long release cycles. When asked about a potential release time frame, the GT’s creator, Kazunori Yamauchi said at the Gran Turismo 5 Asia Championship 2012 event that, “If I carelessly say when it will be released, you’ll end up with people saying things like ‘it’s been delayed again!?’ “So I will no longer say at this type of event.”
You haven’t exactly seen electric sports cars worthy of fantastic styling, brand name, and speed, right? Enter the Audi R8, which just went around the key track for any high mark sports car — the German Nürburgring Nordschleife. It clocked a time of 8:09, about just a minute slower than the world’s most extreme production vehicles but only a few seconds off of the R8 equipped with its standard V8 engine. Check out the video after the break, or at the source link.
Having just found this zippered sleeve from Côte&Ciel in the mail (among other things, but that is for another review) and I instantly started liking it. It’s flexible, so it could carry tablets that are not specifically iPads (which is what it was designed for) and costs only €39.00 which is roughly $47 USD while being water resistant (we tried that, it actually is). Only thing is that it has no extra pockets besides the main pouch.
