Nikon D5100 DSLR surfaces with 16.2 megapixel sensor, 1080p video recording
Posted in: breaking news, camera, dslr, nikon, Today's Chili
Been waiting for a new Nikon DSLR to slide in under that magical $1,000 mark? Then we’ve got some good news for you, as Digital Home Thoughts has now let slip some official details and pictures of Nikon’s new prosumer D5100 model. This one steps things up to a D7000-matching 16.2 megapixels from the 12 megapixel D5000, and boasts a 3-inch articulated display (side-mounted this time), 1080p video recording at both 30 and 24 fps (with autofocus!), ISO settings from 100 to 6,400, and an 18-105mm lens included in the kit (no body-only option available just yet, it seems). What’s more, Nikon’s also releasing a new ME-1 microphone alongside the camera to let you take full advantage of those video recording capabilities — check it out after the break. Look for this one to set you back $899.95 for the kit, with the mic running $159.95. Those are Canadian prices according to Digital Home Thoughts, though we’d expect US pricing to be the same.

Earthquake May Lead To NGP Delay
Posted in: Today's Chili, video games
When Sony unveiled the successor to the PSP, code-named the NGP, earlier this year it promised the device would be on the market by the end of 2011. But then Japan got hit with its most powerful earthquake on record.
Now, according to Sony Computer Entertainment America president Jack Tretton, that might cause a very understandable backtrack on the earlier release promise.
“It may be the straw that says ‘Maybe we get to just one market by the end of the year,'” Tretton said.

Sprint says its NFC-based payment service will launch this year, beat other carriers to the cash register
Posted in: nfc, Sprint, Today's Chili
AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon may have all lined up to support the so-called Isis mobile payment system for cellphones, but Sprint has decided to go it alone for various reasons, and it’s now saying it plans to beat the others to market. As Bloomberg reports, Sprint is already working with payment networks and handset makers on its own NFC-based system, and it says it plans to roll out the service sometime this year, while Isis has previously stated that it only expects to be ready in 2012. While details are otherwise still fairly light, Sprint says that customers will be able to have purchases billed to their regular credit card statements rather than their phone bill, and that it will rely on alternatives to taking a percentage each transaction for itself as Isis plans to do. Of course, while this is Sprint’s latest move in the space, it’s far from its first — in fact, it’s been running NFC trials as far back as 2007.

We told you to get through that 10 pack of rentals quickly didn’t we? As pretty much anyone could have predicted, the Motion Picture Association of America (in case you’ve forgotten, that’s these guys) doesn’t think Zediva has the right to rent access to DVDs for streaming across the internet. Specifically, the MPAA calls Zediva for not being the traditional rental service it claims to be, and claims streaming the output of a DVD player across the internet even to one user amounts to public performance of the movie. There’s no response yet from Zediva, but in the meantime armchair lawyers can check out the MPAA’s statement in PDF form at the source link.
