Ask Engadget: a device to stream audio from one device to multiple sources? {Engadget}
Oct 22nd 2009 11:20PM I'm sorry, did you say 50 meters? Where do you intend to use this that you need over 150 feet of range? I could see 50 feet... but seriously, 50 meters seems a tad unrealistic.

Wow.. I really can't spot the rolling shutter in that movie, that's amazing.
How would you change Nikon's D3000? {Engadget}
Oct 17th 2009 10:44AM Is it wrong for me to want to carry only one device to my kid's soccer game? I want an affordable, light weight, CCD DSLR that shoots awesome photos and HD video.. what part of that don't you understand? I don't understand the silliness of people like you who want to carry a backpack full of gear and pay for several different devices that all have the same basic sensor in them.
The CCD technology exists in lower end cameras (Canon SX20 is a perfect example), just take that 720p video mode an ENABLE it in the D3000. Nikon doesn't do it because it'll cannibalize the higher end sales.
How would you change Nikon's D3000? {Engadget}
Oct 17th 2009 10:33AM Most people are content with their kit lens so I think you're right... it won't be a problem for most people, however I wish Nikon would update a few of their lenses to AF-S. The 80-400mm is a good example of a lens that would be awesome on a D3000/D40/D60 but simply won't autofocus.
Eigenharp Alpha, Pico demo and mind-blowing concert (hands-on) {Engadget}

Cool travel souvenir: Hotel door hangers {Gadling}
Oct 10th 2009 9:59PM I remember once seeing a Cribs episode where they went through one of the Green Days guys' house.. he had a shoebox full of hotel room key cards, I thought that pretty cool but then he pulled out a huge ring of hotels room door keys (actual metal keys).. I guess when you stay in a hotel every night for 20 years you rack up those things.
Light Peak supplier says mass production to start early 2010 {Engadget}
Oct 8th 2009 1:44PM I'm sure that light peak will be similar to firewire, Apple created and superior to many other options, but not found on all machines. Firewire 400, Firewire 800.. both great interfaces, but not commonly adopted by manufacturers. Maybe light peak will have greater usage because it has Intel's support but we'll have to wait and see.
Samsung's WB5000 24x camera shoots RAW, gets real {Engadget}
Sep 1st 2009 9:35AM I've never been one to buy a super zoom p&s, but with with HD being added to these it's starting to look like a good idea. I have a DSLR that doesn't shoot video and an 18-200 super zoom. I want to upgrade to a DSLR with video and I'm like a little more zoom range... this camera does both for the cost of my super zoom.
I probably wouldn't buy this Samsung, but I'm really interested in the new canon SX20, it has a CCD sensor, shoots 720p and so doesn't have a problem with rolling shutter. At $399 I think it could be a very handy camera to keep in my bag and it's small change in the DSLR world.
Nikon D300s spotted and tested at Best Buy with its little brother, still does that jelly video thing {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2009 10:35AM The funny thing is that the D5000 and higher all use CMOS sensors but the D3000 and lower all use CCD. If they would just give the lower end cameras the ability to shoot video it would be better quality than this garbage.
Nikon D300s officially announced -- 720p/24 movie mode with autofocus and mic input {Engadget}
Jul 30th 2009 11:28AM I can't stand to look at the video from the D90/D5000... the wavey CMOS video is absolutely horrid. The resolution is nice but the sensor is not made to collect this type of footage.
I would, without hesitation, by a D5000 today if the HD video was worth watching. It's horrible.. absolutely awful.
