Canon PowerShot SX30 IS sports ultrasupermega 35x zoom
There really isn't much to the Canon PowerShot SX30 IS beyond its megazoom lens, though that's all most buyers will care about.
It starts at a 35mm-equivalent 24mm and goes out to 840mm--a whopping 35x magnification.
Canon paired it with a 14.1-megapixel 1/2.3-inch type CCD sensor, which is the standard size you'd find in any point-and-shoot camera. As a result, the likelihood that the SX30 will be able to resolve fine detail at the telephoto end is small. But hey, if you're that far away from your subject and you don't want … Read more

It's a snap
We've reviewed our fair share of screenshot utilities in our time, and we can't say that it gets much easier than SnapaShot. This simple tool lets users easily capture exactly the portion of the screen that they want and save it in a variety of formats. While it's not the most feature-filled program we've ever seen, we think it's a great choice for basic screen capture tasks.

Jump onto the 3D camera bandwagon for cheap
Here at Crave, we've covered a number of toy cameras such as the Fun Nature FDC01 and the Yashica EZ F521. Now, Japanese toy maker Takara Tomy is dishing out a similar offering, but with 3D capabilities.
The 3D Shot Cam (PDF) is styled after the FDC01. However, like the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3, this petite camera has two lenses coupled with 0.3-megapixel image sensors. The 3D Shot Cam churns out stereoscopic images, which require users to employ the supplied 3D viewers to view results.
The camera will cost $70 when it launches in Japan next year, … Read more

Console hockey on your iPhone
2K Sports NHL 2K11 brings console-like hockey gameplay to your touch screen and manages to pull it off well, with only a few minor annoyances. If you've played console hockey games, you'll feel right at home; pick from any of the NHL licensed teams (with all your favorite players) and hit the ice for an Exhibition game, play an entire 82 game season, or you can practice in the Free skate and Shootout modes. There is no multiplayer option in NHL 2K11 (Wi-Fi or otherwise), but hopefully that's slated for later versions.
The control system consists of … Read more
