Canon’s iconic Elph design achieves a stunning new evolution with the PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph.

PowerShot SD750 Highlights
Stylish 7.1-megapixel Digital Elph with 3x optical zoom Certainly the PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph’s design credentials and high-profile beauty are impossible to ignore. But a quick look beyond the iconic design reveals a camera seriously equipped for high-end performance. 1x zoom/3x zoom

The 7.1-megapixel CCD captures an extraordinary level of detail. Enlarge and crop as far as your vision takes you – you’ll have all the detail you need for sharp, rich prints.

The camera’s genuine Canon 3x optical zoom lens gives you all the benefits of Canon’s legendary optics technologies along with the power to zoom in close. Expect clear, brilliant shots all through the zoom range.

DIGIC III image processor with improved Face Detection technology and Red-eye Correction
With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III enables Canon’s newly improved Face Detection technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. To keep every face looking bright and natural – without scary red eyes – the camera controls exposure settings and flash, so every shot is just what you were shooting for.

Face Detection AF/AE finds multiple faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point when the shutter button is pressed halfway. And an additional new feature, Face Detection FE, adjusts the flash, based on a person’s face on the screen. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces. Face Detection in action

Red-Eye Correction detects and automatically corrects red-eye during playback for both regular and flash photography. In unusual cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually during playback mode from the LCD screen.

iSAPS technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III image processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

Extra-large, high-resolution 3.0-inch PureColor LCD with scratch-resistant anti-reflection coating for easy on-camera viewing The camera’s 3.0-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you’re shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This extra-durable, high-resolution screen with tough scratch-resistant coating on the anti-reflective, PureColor LCD screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera’s menu functions especially convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.

ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto to reduce image blur and expand low-light shooting capability The PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph features new ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.

Five movie modes including 30 fps VGA, Time Lapse and Fast Frame Rate With a highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that’s perfect for any application. Select from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels), with frame rates of 30 fps and 15 fps for recording up to 1 hour or 4GB. Also choose from Fast Frame Rate (QVGA; 320 x 240 pixels) recording at 60 fps for up to 1 minute, Compact Movie Mode (QQVGA; 160 x 120 pixels) recording at 15 fps for up to 3 minutes, and Time Lapse (640 x 480) recording at 1 or 2 sec. intervals. The PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard, so you’ll enjoy the fastest possible data transfer speeds when using a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible computer.

Print/Share button for easy direct printing and downloading The PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph’s Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the SD750 Digital Elph to a Canon CP, Selphy or Pixma photo printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images to a computer (Windows and Macintosh).

Print your own ID photos in 28 different sizes or use the Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet with a Canon Selphy compact photo printer.
Direct photo printers For desktop large-format printing, try one of the direct photo printers that allow you to print without a computer in one of two ways: plug your compatible PowerShot camera into the direct photo printer using the supplied USB interface cable, or simply insert a memory card into the supplied adapter. You can also connect the printer to your computer for more options. Print high-resolution, borderless images as postcards or 8.5 x 11-inch sheets within minutes.

Compact photo printers Compact photo printers let you produce versatile, fun 4 x 6-inch postcards, 4 x 8-inch wide greeting cards or credit card size prints in just two easy steps: connect and press/print. Control the printer right from your camera’s LCD screen. You get durable, dye-sublimated prints quickly with or without borders. Assorted paper types let you create mini or credit card size labels. You can even take select compact photo printers to a party or an outdoor picnic using an optional rechargeable battery.

Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad

Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad

The Nav-Mat is the most convenient mounting accessory for your portable GPS today. Using the physics of weight distribution along with high tech anti-skid materials, it creates a solid mounting base while turning your windshield mounted GPS into a dash mounted GPS. The Nav-Mat conforms to the contours of your dashboard, allowing it to work on uneven or textured surfaces while the anti-skid underside keeps the device from sliding. Designed to work with devices up to several pounds using the stock windshield suction mount sold with most popular GPS units, the Nav-Mat requires no tools for installation and can easily be moved from vehicle to vehicle or put out of sight when leaving the vehicle. Also works well with other Bracketron Windshield Mounts for mounting devices such as Satellite Radio, Cell Phones and MP3 Players. The Dash Pad is GREAT. It stays on the dash and is so much better than attaching it to the windshield.

Live Butterfly Garden

About Live Butterfly Garden!

Did you know that painted ladies (the butterflies, that is) taste with their feet and have 10,000 eyes? You and your kids will be fascinated by all you learn about these beautiful creatures with the Butterfly Garden from Insect Lore. The kit comes with a relatively easy-to-assemble observation chamber; supplies for feeding the butterflies (you provide only sugar and water); an informative booklet of clear instructions and butterfly facts; and a certificate for three to five free painted lady caterpillars. The metamorphosis from larva to butterfly takes about three weeks from when you receive the caterpillar larvae (which arrive in a small container with all the nutrients they need). Your children can watch the larvae increase dramatically in size, form chrysalides, and finally emerge into full-fledged painted ladies (it’s suggested that they release the butterflies after a few days of observation). This would make a wonderful activity for families with kids of any age, but younger children will need help assembling the observation chamber and reading the instruction booklet. (Note: The manufacturer recommends that butterflies should not be set free in temperatures lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.)

• Includes feeder.Complete instructions included.
• Includes mail-in voucher for five butterfly larvae and special food.

Customer Reviews

WOW – WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF READING
After reading reviews for a couple of months, I finally ordered my Kindle two weeks ago & have become a true believer in the technology. Just superb. The reading is very easy on the eyes, the ability to change font sizes, in fact everything about it is great except for one item which I will get to later.

Pros – In no particular order:
1 – Ease of Use – Absolutely simple to use
2 – Size & Weight – Can carry it around anywhere & it is extremely light.
3 – Ability to Download books in under a minute
4 – Price of most new releases are $9.99
5 – Amazon Customer Service
6 – Dictionary Lookup
7 – Free Books available at many different web sites
8 – Can literally carry around hundreds of books
9 – No more need to worry about where to store all my books already read

Cons:
1 – I wish there was more content on current releases
(However I am sure this will take care of itself in the future)

What bothers me about some of the reviews is that buyers complain about 1 or 2 items but do not praise the amazing things that the Kindle does.

Is the cover perfect – Of course not (But it is not all that bad)

Can you hit page ahead by accident -Of course you can (But it is not all that bad)

Basically, on a scale of 1-100, I would give it a 98.

Trust me, if you are an avid reader, do yourself a favor & get one. You will not regret it for one moment.

In fact, I am going on a trip to China in late June & at first the 15 hour flight gave me boredom nightmares, but now I have my Kindle & am no longer stressed. Or should I say a little less stressed.

Enjoy.

I’m hooked!
The Kindle is amazing! Portable, easy to use and to handle, the Kindle has revolutionized my reading. It is so wonderful that I have difficulty with regular hardback or paperback books. I have not yet tried the newspapers but I am sure I will be hooked on those, too. This is much better than e books on a PDA. which always have problems at the download stage. Having the Kindle is like being at the library or the bookstore wherever you are – in traffic, at the beach, in line at the grocery or at work during a break or in the middle of the night when you cannot sleep. I love it.

Kindle does the job
I can’t say this is the fanciest device in the world, but it probably is one of the most usable ones for reading material. Simple, fast, easy – that is the kindle. Of course, I just bought one a month ago and they lowered the price right after that – DO YOU HEAR AMAZON, I SHOULD GET THE DIFFERENCE. Everything else on the reader works and works well. I use it every day to catch up on material. The battery life is excellent. The screen is easy on the eyes and readable in all lighting conditions. I live out in the woods, so the choice of wireless networks for the kindle was ridiculous. Spotty coverage even in the major towns I travel to. AMAZON – AT&T is not just a better network but actually works. You get what you pay for when you choose a cheap network. All in all, I say this device is a practical choice that will be used daily more than you think it wil.

What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception

What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception

By  Scott McClellan

Scott McClellan was one of a few Bush loyalists from Texas who became part of his inner circle of trusted advisers, and remained so during one of the most challenging and contentious periods of recent history. Drawn to Bush by his commitment to compassionate conservatism and strong bipartisan leadership, McClellan served the president for more than seven years, and witnessed day-to-day exactly how the presidency veered off course.

In this refreshingly clear-eyed book, written with no agenda other than to record his experiences and insights for the benefit of history, McClellan provides unique perspective on what happened and why it happened the way it did, including the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, Washington’s bitter partisanship, and two hotly contested presidential campaigns. He gives readers a candid look into who George W. Bush is and what he believes, and into the personalities, strengths, and liabilities of his top aides. Finally, McClellan looks to the future, exploring the lessons this presidency offers the American people as we prepare to elect a new leader
