While the Blackberry 10 Z10 is expected to see a launch on T-Mobile’s network come 27^th of March (keeping in mind that this has yet to be confirmed), those of you in Canada might be pleased to learn that according to a leaked photo, a certain Blackberry 10 device is supposedly set to go up for sale in Best Buy Canada come February 28^th and will be priced at $799.99. Unfortunately it was not revealed as to which particular Blackberry 10 model this is, but considering that word on the street has it that RIM could unveil both the Z10 and the X10 (QWERTY Blackberry 10 device), chances are that this could be in reference to either model, although we have a feeling that it could be the former. This coincidences with RIM’s COO promising that Blackberry 10 devices will be made available within 30 days of launch, which makes the 28^th of February date seem a bit more plausible. That and the fact that this is Best Buy Canada which is in RIM’s hometown, we wouldn’t be surprised if the company were to play favorites. We’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled so stay tuned for more updates, but in the meantime do take this with a grain of salt.

[CES 2013] When it comes to point-and-shoot cameras, the name already implies that these are probably the most basic cameras and will be good enough to get the job done, just don’t expect to be able to have full control over the camera that you would with a DSLR, or maybe a more prosumer camera.

That being said, Olympus could be looking to destroy that notion by announcing the Stylus SH-50, a point-and-shoot camera that not only offers a long zoom (24x 25-600mm equivalent), but at the same time offering up 5-axis video stabilization, a feature which the company is boasting makes it the first point-and-shoot camera to offer that. On top of the 5-axis video stabilization, and it should be worth noting that these features were only previously offered on the Olympus OM-D E-M5 flagship interchangeable lens camera.
