Hasta La Gadget!

Had enough Kodak this fine morning? No? Good. Just hours after showcasing its newest 1080p pocket camcorder, the aforesaid firm is hitting us up with a few more new pieces to digest. First up is the EasyShare Z950, a modest megazoom-in-a-P&S-body that packs a 10x optical zoom, 12 megapixel sensor and a $279.99 price tag. Next, we’ve got the totally ho hum EasyShare M381, which also offers a dozen megapixels alongside a 3-inch rear LCD, 5x zoomer, easy upload to Facebook / YouTube, face detection, a variety of lovely hues and an MSRP of $179.99. The last cam is the M341, which steps down to a 3x optical zoom and a smaller 2.7-inch LCD for $149. Closing things out is the EasyShare D830 (£119.99; $196) and D1030 (£169.99; $279) digital photo frames, which check in at 8- and 10-inches respectively (in terms of display size) and tout interchangeable face plates, 512MB of internal memory, a Quick Touch border, memory card reader and a USB port. Everything here should ship in the US and UK by September, though those hungry for additional details are welcome to tap that read link.

It was only a few months ago that we were fielding rumors about Sony’s CyberShot DSC-HX1, and now we’re struggling to keep our credit card at bay each time we waltz by one in the local camera shop. Today, Sony Insider has pointed out that the outfit may be readying a new duo to complement the megazoom: the DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1. If the latest whispers prove legitimate, the TX1 will boast a 10 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom, 3-inch LCD, 720p movie mode and a price tag somewhere south of $400. The WX1 should check in as a lower-end model with 10 megapixels, a 5x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD and the same 720p movie mode; why exactly it’ll be cheaper we’re not sure, but that’s the good word at the moment. E-tailer Provantage already has listings for both cameras up, so it seems as if it’s just a matter of time before Sony confirms all the good news.

Office Depot isn’t just an office supplies store; it also carries electronics and computer hardware. This week you can enjoy discounted items in Office Depot’s 4th of July Savings. It’s offering $30 off on digital cameras, $10 to $60 off on USB keys, up to $70 in savings on printers, up to $200 off on select HP notebooks, some freebie offers, and more. All offers expire on July 4. Place $50 or more in your shopping cart online to get free next business day delivery (Monday through Friday between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. local time).

In today’s TechSaver Test, I’m going to challenge Office Depot’s sale prices on the SanDisk Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive (32GB), the HP Pavilion dv2 (1030-us) notebook, the Nikon Coolpix S560 camera, and the Lexmark X7675 Wireless Color Flatbed All-In-One. Is the Depot your savings hero? Find out after the jump.

For the longest while, your options were highly limited in the waterproof / rugged point-and-shoot arena. In fact, it was arguably better to just buy a standard P&S camera and a waterproof casing for said camera than to worry over any of the standalone waterproof alternatives. When Canon introduced its PowerShot D10 earlier this year, we immediately noticed that this waterproof shooter was quite unlike the models before it. Outside of a somewhat bulbous casing, it didn’t look drastically different than some of the thicker, non-waterproof options out there. Not to mention the respectable 12.1 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom and ten meter waterproof rating. Needless to say, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to grab this bugger and test it out for a week along the shores of Playa Tamarindo in Costa Rica and Lago Cocibolca in Nicaragua, so follow us past the break to find out if this cam is the perfect accessory for your upcoming beach holiday.

T-Mobile will soon drop its second Android phone. Big deal. I’ve dropped my iPhone a hundred times and thank God it still works.

1. Kodak might not be making Kodachrome anymore, but it’s still making excellent compact digital cameras. If you head over to OfficeDepot.com, you can pick up a Kodak EasyShare M1063 for a low $99.99. This is a 10.3megapixel camera with image stabilization, 3x optical zoom, face detection, and 16MB of internal memory. Sing it with me: “Mama don’t take my EasyShare away.” See, it even scans.

2. Maybe you can’t afford an iPod–hey, the economy’s rough right now–but even a kid with an allowance can afford this no-name iPod Shuffle knock-off from Froobi.com. It’s Froobi’s deal of the day, so hurry. Get a 4GB clip-style music player in black for $14.99, with shipping. It plays both MP3 and WMA tracks. If your friends don’t look closely, they’ll think you have an iPod, so that’s almost as good, right?

3. If you’re treating yourself to a new HDTV, don’t forget the cables. Buy.com has the Belkin HDTV Cable Kit for $14.99 with free shipping, and it includes a six-foot HDMI cable, a six-foot component video cable, a six-foot RCA audio cable, a six-foot digital optical cable, a six-foot S-video cable, a six-foot RCA AV cable, and an HDMI to DVI adapter. You’ll have your entire home theater set up in minutes with this kit.
