In the world of 35mm-format digital SLRs, one could argue that Canon has the line of products that trumps all of them. The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is another sure-fire hit from the company that would only strengthen the case of those who champion this thinking. It only makes the competition even more distant with their latest improvements.

The Mark III, after all, could have set the benchmark with an astounding 21.1 megapixel count. Such SLR is unheard of and Canon just set the bar too high this time. The 3 inch LCD screen is another welcome inprovement. The scroll wheel houses the Set button that makes this shooter even more handy to use. While this camera may be a tad too heavy for soem, it is a piece of camera masterpiece that offsets those concerns.

Another thing heavy though is the price tag. After all, this series was never known to be for those looking for a cheap fix. However, the great performance as well as the innovative megapixel count is worth it.

When it comes to portable video players in the market today, the Archos 705 WiFi could very well be described as the big, bad wolf. It is just a sumo wrestler compared to the other portable video players out there today. It possesses a 7-inch screen that is simply big enough for those who have seen many of the competitors today.

Those 7 inches will cost you a bit but those inches do make for a somewhat intimidating factor to you. The face is button-less, making it a squeaky-clean image for the consumers. It is in the edges that it sports such features like the outputs for headphones and power adapter. The right edge, on the other hand, sports the USB ports and other add-ons.

The Archos 705 WiFi features a QWERTY keypad, photo viewer, PDF reader, a Wi-Fi video rental portal and the usual audio and video player. It could play MPEG4, AVI, WMV, and DIVX videos. Surely, this is a plus-sized addition to those gadget freaks out there.
