The bigger news is the inclusion of video capture and editing. The iPhone 3GS camera app has a slider switch to activate the video camera, which records 30 frames per second video at 640-by-480 resolution. In video mode, the camera shutter turns into a red record button you press once to start recording, and again to end recording.

Sending video is very easy: The phone has integrated hooks into YouTube, MobileMe (Apple's $99-a-year service), and e-mail. Just select the service, and proceed from there; for YouTube, the iPhone 3GS will automatically compress the file in preparation for upload to your YouTube account. Want to trim your video before sending? No problem: The in-player iMovie-like frame editor makes snipping the beginning or end of a clip a breeze.

The videos I captured looked better than many typical camera phone images at the same resolution, and I found the inclusion of a video camera handy in a pinch when I was caught off-guard with a video opportunity and had no other camera on hand. But the iPhone 3GS can't replace the video you can capture in 720p high-definition with many digital cameras and compact video recorders like the Flip Mino HD. And like-resolution dedicated camera and camcorder devices generally have a few advantages, such as greater stability for hand-held shots, and a tripod shoe if you want to steady the image.

The video feature has a few other rough spots. You can't easily find the videos you capture: They're lumped in with the rest of the images in your Camera Roll, with the video camera icon and length running along the bottom of the thumbnail. You also can't access your videos from within the iPod music and video player. And, unfortunately, the much-ballyhooed editing feature is rather limited: Once you make an edit, it's done. You can't undo them, and you can't save a copy of the original video--annoying if you want to keep the longer video for yourself and send an excerpt to a friend, for example.

SONY DSLR A300 REVIEW

The 10.2-megapixel sony alpha DSLR-A300 offers Sony's new Quick AF live view technology for using the camera's 230,000-pixel 2.7-inch tilting lcds as a viewfinder. Quick AF live View uses Sony's pentamirror Tilt system to direct light to a dedicated live-view sensor instead of flipping the optical viewfinder mirror up and using the main sensor as many live-view system do. Quick AF Live View enables the camera's nine-point autofocus system to function during live viewing with no delay, including in tracking AF mode. The camera incorporates Sony's Bionz  processing engine, Super steadyShot sensor-shift optical image stabilization, an anti-dust system, and a penta-mirror optical viewfinder with 0075x magnification and 95 percent coverage. It takes minolta and sony  A-mount lenses.

The A300 offers light-sensitivity settings up to ISO 3200, and a shutter speeds range of 1/4000 to 30 seconds. The camera also offers a bulb mode. Other notable features include eye-start autofocus, which is triggered as soon as the camera is brought near the photographer's eye, and Sony's d-Range Optimizer (DRO) for enhancing shadow and highlight detail in high-contrast shots. An advanced DRO mode is available for handling particularly contrasty photos, such as backlit shots. It analyzes multiple areas of the image separately. The A300 offers a 3fps drive mode and can capture an unlimited series of JEPGs or 6 raw files at a time. 

VAJA CASE REVIEW

The vaja case is very cool. It's not for everyone. It is, however,  for those who like to customize there stuff. The website has a variety of different style cases for everyone's taste. You get to pick what colors you want inside and out and you can choose to add a belt clip. You can also add a personalized saying on the back ( which i think is very cool). The IPhone fits very snugly inside the case even if you have Invisible Shield on your phone. I have owned  other cases before and because I had Invisible Shield on my IPhone it did not fit. This case is not for everyone. It is for people who likes customizations. It is a bit pricey. If you have money to spend then check out this site for info.

INFINXX AP23 Bluetooth Stereo Adapter

I give the infenxx two thumbs up

Mine just arrived today, I can say for sure, it DOSE work fine with the iphone 3g. So don't panic yet. The adapter has nothing to do with the bluetooth in the iphone, infact i keep that turned off. To get it working:

1) plug in adapter.

2) Message pop up says you need to put it into airplane mode. just hit no and ignore it.

3) Turn on the bluetooth stereo headset ( i'm using sony DR-BT50  also i can confirm it works).

I didn't have to put it into pairing mode, just hold the button for 3 sec to turn it on and the adapter will connect to it automatically.

4) play some music

really it was that simple. All i had to do was plug it in and turn on the sony DR-BT50 and it start working in 2-3 sec.

The battery life is ok, it drains the battery a lil quicker for obvious reason.
