Amazon.com Product Description
Canon raises the stakes for all-in-one digital imaging devices with the release of the Canon Optura 400 (and its sibling Optura 500; see a comparison table at the end), which is as adept at shooting digital video as it is snapping high-resolution digital stills. Shorter and more lightweight than its predecessors, the brushed silver Optura 400 weighs just 1.2 pounds with tape and battery and measures 2.1 x 4.2 x 4.0 inches. It offers 2.2-megapixel resolution for fine video and photo details, a 10x optical zoom lens, image stabilization, built-in SD/MMC memory card slot, and PictBridge compatibility for direct printing of still photos to compatible printers.
Optics and Resolution
The Optura 400 has a 2.2-megapixel CCD, which produces 1230K effective pixels for video and 2 million effective pixels for still photos, for images up to 1623 x 1224 pixels (good enough for print enlargements up to 8 x 10 inches). Canon's camcorder lens features the same quality found in 35mm and broadcast TV cameras, and the Optura 400 has a 10x optical zoom lens that delivers good definition and contrast as well as a 200x digital zoom. In addition, the lenses feature a unique spectral coating to reduce flare and ghosting, resulting in optimal indoor and outdoor shots.
The RGB Primary Color Filter separates light passing through the lens into red, green and blue color components providing similar color quality found in professional 3 CCD camcorders, yielding truer more natural looking colors. Canon's DIGIC DV signal processing circuit makes it possible to achieve accurate color for both video and digital photos. Since video and digital photos have different color requirements, DIGIC DV utilizes two different color techniques to maximize video quality on a TV and still image quality for print or computer display.
Shooting Video
With the high-resolution 16:9 widescreen mode, the Optura 400 utilizes the entire width of the CCD (unlike some systems that electronically stretch the picture vertically) retaining image quality and providing a wider horizontal angle of view that is ideal for creating a theater-like experience. A variety of Program Auto Exposure settings allow for easy, optimal shooting in a wide range of lighting situations. The Optura 400 is also equipped with Manual Audio Level Control, commonly found only on prosumer camcorder models, and a swivel grip and palm pad, providing maximum comfort when shooting for long periods of time.
The Motion JPEG Mode records your footage onto the Secure Digital memory card at 320 x 240 resolution, giving you up to 60 minutes of recording time on an optional 512 MB card.
Still Photos
The Optura 400 saves still image files to Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards (an 8 MB card is included with the camcorder). It offers a number of photographic controls that make it easy to get the right shot, including:
- Selectable Focusing Points for bringing off-center subjects into sharp focus
- Continuous Shooting Mode enables rapid fire shooting--up to 3 frames-per-second (1632 x 1224) or up to 5 frames-per-second (1280 x 960, 640 x 480)
- Simultaneous Photo Recording lets you capture e-mail ready digital photos (640 x 480) while you record video
- Auto Exposure Bracketing lets you shoot three photos-Ñnormal, underexposed and overexposed--with the press of one button
- The Built-in flash with Red-Eye Reduction is perfect for taking photos at night, indoors, or filling in shadows
- Horizontal & Vertical Trimming Function and Photo Review Function allow you to make edits directly in the camcorder
- Stitch Assist enables you to capture and create breathtaking 360-degree panoramas
- The Skin Detail Mode helps you take complimentary close-ups of people by softening details and reducing skin imperfections
Connect directly to any Canon CP-series Photo Printer or Canon Bubble Jet Direct Printer using the supplied USB cable. You can also connect directly to other Pictbridge compatible printers, and because the camcorder tags each photo you take with information based on Exif 2.2 Print standards, poor lighting and mistakes can be corrected automatically by the printer.
Other Features
The advanced Image Stabilization system works behind the scenes even when youÕre panning and zooming, shooting videos or photos. The Optura 400's large 2.5-inch LCD and color viewfinder helps you compose shots from any angle.
With the press of the Night Mode button, the camcorder automatically selects a slow shutter speed and increases the sensitivity of the CCD to brighten the image, while still preserving color. Two additional low-light settings can be assigned to the Night Mode button -- Super Night Mode and Night++ Mode. When selected, Super Night Mode automatically triggers the white LED Lamp when needed to enhance the subject for shooting. Night++ Mode is used in the toughest lighting situations, keeping the white LED Lamp on all the time.
Connectivity
The Optura 400 connects to Macs and Windows-based PCs via a Firewire terminal (also known as iLink or IEEE1394), enabling high video and audio quality during duplication or editing. An Analog Line-in/Out with Analog/Digital Converter allows you to easily transform your analog memories into digital, all in real-time. The camcorder also features a Network Mode, which enables you to remotely control your camcorder through the DVÊMessenger2 software application. Control the focus and zoom of your camcorder from a computer while streaming the video via its Firewire terminal.
What's in the Box
This package contains the Optura 400 digital video camcorder, rechargeable battery pack (NB-2LH), power adapter (CA-570), wireless controller (WL-D83), A/V cable, 8 MB SD memory card, USB cable, and Digital Video Solution CD-ROM, which includes:
- Pinnacle Studio gives you every tool you need to easily capture video to your computer, edit footage, add titles, music, narration and special effects and then output the finished movie back to videotape, DVD or the web.
- Pinnacle Instant Album can help you quickly organize your digital photos and video clips into interactive, high-resolution slideshows that can then be burned onto CD and DVD or watched on your TV with Instant PhotoAlbum
It's covered by a 1-year limited warranty (3 months for the video head part).

Customer Reviews:
Awesome camcorder.......2005-08-09
I just received mine today and made a short cooking film while cooking dinner. This is a beautiful camcorder and still camera. It is small and fits the hand well. Looks like jewelry to me. It is perfectly quiet. I cannot hear it recording. Do not believe some reviews out there about noise. You can only hear it during fast forward and rewind. Big 1/3.4 inch CCD with Canon optics and color rendering image algorithms. Lots of manual options as well as auto. I bought a spare Canon battery (BP- 2L14, twice the power) and the built in charger charged it and the original with no problem. Very good hand ergonomics with nice button placement, intuitive operation. Excellent colors and imaging. I read my manual carefully and all installations of tape, card and backup battery were a snap. There is currently a $100 rebate and this camcorder is available for less than half the original suggested price, a steal for a camcorder of this quality.
Great camcorder.......2005-01-12
I used one at a friends house filming their talks and I had fun filming on that camcorder, but it seems to have a battery issue, you need to pay more for a longer lasting battery for the camera.

Product Description
Simplify your network installations with power and data on one cable! The Linksys Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit lets you put your access points almost anywhere, by removing the requirement of nearby power outlets. By using the existing Category 5 Ethernet cabling to deliver power to any standard 5 volt access point or other network device, you save the time, hassle, and expense of running AC power to the access point's installation location. The best position for a wireless access point is usually on the ceiling, in the center of the area to be covered. Second best would be high on a nearby wall. Unfortunately, there's usually no easily accessible AC power plugs available in these locations. With the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit, installing the access point in these preferred spots becomes far less trouble. The Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit is a two piece set. The "Injector" sends both power and data over one Category 5 cable to your access point, wireless router or bridge. Then the tiny "Splitter", placed at the remote location, separates the network data and DC power back into two cables, and delivers them to the access point. The Injector can also be used by itself with POE-enabled network devices that accept 48 volts directly on a POE port.This product is a 12 Volt Power Over Ethernet adapter kit.
Customer Reviews:
A little pricey but it works great.......2007-08-23
My wireless access point is mounted high up on a wall. Although running a cat5 cable to it is easy getting power to it was a bit tougher. With this I didn't need to run power to it. In addition I now have it plugged into a UPS sitting on the floor with my router so it stays up during power blips. I would give it a 5 star rating except for that fact that it seems a little high priced.
Works perfectly.......2007-01-08
Very easy to install. Works perfectly over sixty feet of CAT-5 Ethernet to WRT54G router. Would not hesitate to purchase again if needed.

Product Description
The Kensington Orbit looks like a mouse, feels like a mouse, but it's a trackball. This trackball is clearly one of the hottest new input devices on the market. Unlike other accessories that put a strain on your body after hours of use, this trackball gives your hands and arms a rest. Designed with Kensington's Hand-Hugging Comfort, the Orbit immediately transforms you to a comfort zone that blows away the competition. It's designed to support the natural angle of your hand and wrist, so you're able to work in a more comfortable and productive position. Plus, the unique shape of the Orbit is perfect for both left and right-handed users. Like other Kensington products, this powerful trackball comes with MouseWorks software that ends double-clicking woes. If your job entails hours of Internet access, the Orbit cannot be ignored. Instead of hitting a site and double-clicking to what you want, the Orbit opens files with a simple click. If you need to drag an image or paragraph across your desktop the days of holding down a mouse button are over with MouseWorks software. You can drag, scroll and highlight with just a click! With its Pop-Up Menu feature, you can create personal menus for the tasks you do most. For instance, commands such as Open, Print, and Save can easily be added to increase your overall productivity and performance.
Customer Reviews:
Well-made, great software, just try before you buy!.......2000-08-23
Kensington's products are, in my experience, well worth the money---they are EXTREMELY well-made and tech support is top-notch. I find the Orbit very comfortable and the included software allows a lot of control and customization (I've used this trackball on both Windows and Mac OS). As far as physical quality of the product, only Logitech's input devices come close.
As with any input device, it's best to try this one on for size before you buy. I find it very comfortable and a good way to minimize joint-related problems in my right wrist and hand, but the only way to figure out whether it's comfortable for you is to try it out in person, preferably in a store where you can compare it side-by-side with other ones.
Cool looking; nothing special.......2000-06-15
If you've ever used a trackball before, this is nothing different. The only thing about it that struck me as unique was the blue ball, and the erginomic design. All in all, it's not worth it's price.
Product Description
You simply won't believe what you can pick up with this lens. This is what you need for stellar observation, or for animals in nature which can't be shot in close range. Note: This should only be used at the telephoto end of a camera's zoom range. If used at the wide-angle end, severe vignetting will occur.
