If you are a home theater aficionado looking to upgrade your current home theater receiver to something with more power, then you may want to check out the Denon AVR-2309CI. If you like the hands on approach to configuring your receiver instead of just the plug-and-play of most low end receivers then the AVR-2309CI is the way to go.

The AVR-2309CI is not your average, low end, home theater receiver. Measuring 17.1 in x 6.7 in x 16.9 in and weighing 27.1 lbs, the AVR-2309CI packs a lot of functionality into one package. It offers the user a wealth of supported sound modes with the level of quality buyers have come to expect from Denon. Supported sound modes are...

If you are of the mindset that they just don’t make cameras like they used to, then the Canon AE-1 may just be your new best friend. Whether you are looking to add a new camera to your photography collection, or are looking for a quality camera to learn the basics on, then you won’t be disappointed with the AE-1.

Manufactured from 1976 to 1984, the AE-1 was the first single-reflex lens (SLR) equipped with a microprocessor central processing unit. Known as one of the historically significant SLR’s of its time, not because of the technological first it contained, but for the fact that it sold quite well. Over five million units were sold, which was phenomenal for the era.

Old Minolta fans stand by, enter the Sony DSLR A700. With a 12.24 megapixel CMOS sensor, the advanced BIONZ image processing engine, and Super Steady Shot, Sony has brought a viable competitor to the table in the DSLR market. With many new features versus the Sony A100, it may be time to reconsider Sony and take a look at the A700. Full resolution, 5 frames per second continuous shooting, an 11 point center dual cross auto focus sensor, an extremely large 3” LCD screen with a positional sensor in it to rotate as you rotate the camera, and an HDMI output is just the start of many great features on the A700.

The 8.1 megapixel Pentax Optio E 50 with its 2.4” LCD screen, 3x zoom and multiple picture modes is a basic, point and shoot camera and is great for the casual user who just wants a simple camera to take pictures. Some other features include face detection, shake reduction technology, movie mode and a voice recorder to take notes with. There is also some in-camera framing options for photos; however, they may not be up to everyone’s liking.

The hip Nikon Coolpix S600 is great in style and might earn you some ‘oohs!’ and ‘aahs!’ from friends, but it leaves a little to be desired when it comes to the guts of the camera. The 10 megapixel sensor is nice but unfortunately there is not a lot of options to help you utilize it leaving pictures simply looking okay.

On a positive note, its small size makes it extremely portable, there is a large 2.7” LCD screen with decent viewfinder accuracy and vibration reduction to help with blurriness caused by motion. Still there is more to consider before making your purchase, so read on.

The new standard definition, flash memory, limited moving parts camcorder from Canon, the FS100, provides a lot of great options and a decent price. Though there are a wide variety of camcorders in the same field, the FS100 balances out the options to try and provide a great camcorder at a budget price. However, while some of the features are nice, in the end, don’t judge this camcorder by its nicely labeled box.

It is standard definition, so though Canon has provided an impressive 37X optical zoom, but may be challenged, especially under low light. The 2.7” LCD screen, though a little grainy, makes up for it by being viewable even in direct sunlight. Weighing only 9.2 ounces, its light weight and ergonomic feel make it easy to record with. The included mic input is a nice touch; however, the wind filter is completely useless.

So is the Fujifilm FinePix S100fs a DSLR? Well, on looks alone, you might think so, but actually, it is not. In saying that though, this is no standard digital camera either. It has many features that many of its counterparts do not such as a real lens with a manual zoom ring, RAW file capture, and a larger sensor.

It has an 11.1 megapixel resolution and a long 14.3x optical zoom and due to its digital camera heritage you can see the live image in the LCD screen unlike with many DSLR counterparts. Other nice features include, face detection with automatic red eye removal, movie mode, preset scene modes, and a tilting 2.5” LCD screen.

Sure there are the sleek looking digital cameras out there, but don’t discount Canon’s PowerShot A590 IS by looks alone. With its 8 megapixel processor and options like face detection, image stabilization and a 4X optical zoom lens, it is a definite competitor in the marketplace.

Considering its nice price point at under $200 (anywhere from $100-$200 from online vendors), multiple exposure and preset scene modes, ease of use for the novice user to advanced commands for the more seasoned user, the A590 performs well and provides a great camera at a very affordable price.
