NIKON D3200

The Nikon D3200 is a is a fallow- up to the highly successful Nikon D3100 and is the brands entry- level
model. Nikon has kept the design of DSLR simple and because of this, a user stepping up from a point
and shoot camera will not feel too overwhelmed by the fact that it is a DSLR cameras. At the back is the
three –inch LCD display, which features a921 K dot resolution. This is a major improvement over the
230 k dot resolution that was found on the D3100. This translates into a lot more detail on screen while
previewing and reviewing images. Nikon has added rubberized padding on the viewfinder to help in
reducing any strain that may arise while peering through it for long periods of time.

The top of the camera features a handful of buttons , some of which are a dedicated video recording
button and a shutter release button .The other notable features include a mode dial, which is quite
comprehensive as it features different modes that are designed for shooting images in various settings,
scenes etc.

Connectivity options are housed in a bay at the side and they include ports of HDMI, USB, a mic and
a GPS module. Like other DSLR cameras available in the market, this model has a hot swap option for
switching SD cards, with the cards housed in a slot at the side. A slightly crippling feature here is that it
houses just a single slot for SD cards are not dual. Which means one would have to be content with a
single slot for switching between cards.

When it comes to the features of the camera, the 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor can certainly can steal
the spotlight. The Nikon D3100 features a sensor with an effective resolution of 14.2 megapixels, so
that is a big upgrade, allowing you to shoot as a resolution of 6016 x 4000 pixels. The camera uses a DX
format APS-c sensor that measures 23.2 x 15.4 mm and features a crop factor of 1.5x. Nikon has also
used their new EXPEED 3 image processing engine on this camera as compared to the EXPEED 2 image
processor found on the Nikon D3100.

The company has added a high ISO range on this camera with the maximum sensitivity found here
being ISO 6400 and the camera does a good job of keeping noise to a minimum until a high ISO of 3200.
Alternatively, you can set the ISO up to 12800 by using Hi 1 setting on the camera. Another highlighted
feature of this camera is the Guide mode. This feature was first found on the Nikon D3000 and later
on the D3100. Nikon has added a dedicated option for the guide mode on the mode dial, allowing you
to quickly access this option .This feature can be really beneficial for those stepping up to the DSLR
cameras as it explains how to capture different scenes easily.

Slotted in the entry –level segment of cameras, the D3200 comes equipped with a variety of scene
modes that can be easily accessed via the mode dial itself. This becomes convenient for first –time DSLR
users, allowing them to capture Images without much difficulty. The camera offers semi- manual manual
shooting modes like PASM, allowing users to adjust settings such as aperture priority, shutter priority
and any other settings they please to help them capture the perfect shot.

The interface of the camera is easy to use and one would not have much difficulty navigating through
the different settings. The camera also features a LiveView mode, allowing you to preview the content
you wish to capture on the screen itself, instead of only using the viewfinder to preview the content.
The viewfinder found on this camera is of the pentamirror type, which is believed to be not as great as
pentaprism viewfinders found on most high-end DSLR cameras available in the market. The viewfinders
offer 95 percent coverage, which is not very impressive as you cannot get the complete coverage while
previewing scenes.

Another neat feature of the Nikon D3200 is that this camera can record videos in Full HD at 1080p at
30fps. The camera can capture images in JPEG as well as NEF, which is Nikon’s format for RAW files.
Overall, the Nikon D3200 brings a lot to the table when it comes to features. Based on these attributes
alone, it is an option that is definitely worth considering.

This camera is a pleasure to use and can be a great option if one is looking to upgrade from a compact
digital camera. The Nikon D3200 does well in capturing outdoor shots with all color appearing natural.
The images look the same on the camera’s display as they do on a PC. When the camera was paired with
a 18-55mm Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor lens, we observed that there was a lot of detail present in the shots
and no color fringing was noticed. During indoor shots, there was hardly any amount of image grain,
which demonstrates that, the camera foes well in low light environment. The camera does not come
with a built-in AF system and hence you will need to pair it with a Nikkor AF-S lens. We paired it with this
lens, and the resulting macro photographs showed a lot of detail. When it comes to focusing, the D3200
is a speedy camera. However, it is not as fast as some of the compact point and shoots available in the
market, and this feature may take a bit getting used to for those stepping up to a DSLR.

The Camera can record videos in Full HD 1080p and the video quality is really good. This can be another
reason why one could consider this camera. The camera does well in recording videos and there is a lot
detail present. There were no translation issues seen when panning the camera from a low lit area to
a brightly lit one, and this shows that the camera can be used in most lighting environments without
worry of the video being washed out.

Nikon has bundled a 1030 mAh battery with this camera and the company has rated it approximately
540 shots. The Nikon D3200 DSLR is available in India at a MRP of RS 37,950 and it comes along with an
18-55 mm lens. The model is a perfect solution for those looking to step up from a compact camera, as
it offers all the features and qualities one would look for when making the transition to a DSLR camera.
The D3200 is a great camera when it comes to features, design and even performance. The only real
issue we had with it was the pricing .Add about Rs 1000 and you can get the Nikon D5100 , which is a
model ranked higher than the D3200.

On the other hand , If the Rs 37,950 price tag is too much for your pocket , you can opt for the Nikon
D3100 or the Canon EOS 1100D , which is priced in the market at just below Rs 30,000. You may be an
ideal option if you are just starting with Photography.

Cisco upgrade includes bizarre terms of service

Cisco set of a wave of outrage this month by rolling out an automatic update for some of its
Linksys routers which not only replaced the standard browser-based configuration system
with a needlessly convoluted online “Cloud Connect” account, but also effectively converted
its product into a service for which users have to a accept a new licensing agreement. In that
fine print, however, was wording that gave Cisco the right to arbitrarily disable users’ routers
for accessing pornography or violating intellectual property rights. Privacy advocates were
enraged that Cisco would give itself the power to snoop on users to kick them off the web, but
the company’s alternative has disabled many of the usual controls found in routers’ firmware.
Users can roll back to the previous firmware but it is unclear whether those who opt out of
Cloud Connect will be eligible for future firmware updates, for your data and animates it.

Touch-friendly Microsoft Office 2013 previewed

It looks as though Microsoft has taken its Metro design philosophy to heart-the new MS Office
looks nothing like a program we’re all used to. The Windows 8 influence is everywhere, from

the solid patches of color to the flattened ribbon and sharp corners that the new visual style
dictates. The programs let you turn on a “touch mode” that spaces out all on-screen controls.
On touch- screen devices you’ll be able to pinch to zoom and swipe to scroll. The other notable
departure from convention is that you’ll need to be signed into a Live account all the time,
and files are by default saved to your SkyDrive storage space instead of the hard drive. In
terms of functionality, Word can now edit PDF files and has threaded comments when tracking
changes. Excel recommends the best chart for your data and animates it. Outlook comes with
a rearranged blue interface and pop-up previews, and OneNote supports finger, stylus and

Dropbox drops Torrent proxy service Boxopus

Boxopus, a startup intended to let people send Torrented files directly to their online storage
accounts has been banned by the partner they designed themselves around. The simple
concept of downloading a Torrent remotely and storing the files in a Dropbox accounts for later
retrieval was initially supported by the storage service, but was dropped after Boxopus began
to receive attention in the online media. Although the service does not advertise itself as a
piracy tool or point out that people can use it as such, Dropbox’s statement reflected its fear
that Boxopus could be “perceived as encouraging users to violate copyright using Dropbox”.
Boxopus maintains that it is a neutral service, and the perception that BitTorrent is used only
for piracy is erroneous and damaging. The team spends around US$ 30,000 building their
product, and is now searching for their new partner.

Iran nuke facility hit by “thunder”

F-secure has published details of emails that appear to have come from Atomic Energy
Organization of Iran, reporting a new virus infection that has shut down automated systems
at two nuclear facilities. Like the Stuxnet attack, this new malware targets Siemens hardware,

but this time infected systems apparently play AC/DC’S “Thunderstruck” at full volume. The
anonymous tipster suggests that it was introduced via a VPN.

India tops spam charts

India has cemented its position as the world’s number one spam relayer, according to the
latest reports from Sophos. India leads with 11.4 percent, which is more than 150 percent
of the spam volume from the next country on the list, Italy. The reports also points out that
India accounts for only just over Five percent of the world’s Inter-connected computers, which
clearly shows a huge need for improvement in security software and policies. Sophos attributes
the volume of spam to the sheer number of computers that have been compromised by
malware and are now operating as parts of much larger global botnets controlled from within
India or abroad. These “zombie” PCs are wasting time, power and bandwidth without the
knowledge of their owners and most likely without displaying any visible signs of being infected.

Washington DC upholds rights of citizens to record police activity

Washington DC announced formal regulations protecting anyone who records police activity,
following a state of incidents in which policemen have forcibly stopped citizens from recording
them performing their duties and have been seized cellphones or forced citizens to delete their
recordings. The move is a part of a settlement of at least one lawsuit filed by people who were
ordered to stop recording photos or videos in public. The new rules compel officers to allow
themselves and unfolding events to be recorded whether in public or within a private residence
or business. The person cannot be coerced or asked for identification solely on the because
he or she is recording activity, but may only be asked to move out of the way if he or she is
obstructing police work or endangering anyone. The move is being hailed as a massive victory
for civil liberties and free speech.

acer aspire e1-571

while the lennovo indea pad 2570 is great when it comes to performance and styple , its no the most
affordable option out there as you t sfforle othion out there. as you go donw the oefer ith respect to
price, your have to cmpromicse on perfomanmce and features, but itn the case of acer’s aspaire e1-
571, compromise is one woued yur won’t ave on yhur mind it users the ssme processor as the lenoo ia
pad z570 but a diffenet chipset. in effect the aspire e1 matches up with the lenovo z570 but a diffent

chipset in effect, the aspire e1 mtches up with the lanovo z570 across all cpu printed bechmarks:
traling behind oly on the gaming and graphics fronts cleary, this in’t s laptop you wantto buyt it you’re
thiking of gamng. but keep the gaiming aspect aside, and the aspire e1 does abouve average aross all
other tests

the e1 has decent spekers and good build quality its isn not the swqnkest. bu it looks and feels bettern
then the aenith uranium plus which is just a tiny exit chepter. its got a sober loik to it with a plaon rey
plastidc pable around the trackpad. a black bezel display and keybord. there are no physical buttons
or hot keys to play aorudn with but the shorucut keys are present and they anre well land out. if yhou
at to use the laptop as a media center pc, uou can do that too. the intel hd 3000 graphices solution
might not be souted for gaing. but highdefinition video is no problem. the hdmi conncitivity means
yhou can connect it spectacular, but at the same time its not as bad as some of the other bnotebooks
we’ve seen.

the keybord isn’t a chidklet-style one , but its got an nice feel to it. ther’s enough travel and feedback
and there compared which makes for comfortable typing.

for a product there’s a good rs. 10000 cheper then the z570 and one of the ceapeset in this test the
aspire e1 offers great banf for your bucck. the package incoudes a windows 7 home the intergrated
solutions on the high and notebooks in this test this onbe would be amost at par with them we suggest

you to absolutely go for this notebook if your’s on a right budget.

lenovo ideapad z570

this particular model form the z570 series moms with the core i3-2350m processor , but it includes a
more solid graphics slooution in the form of the nvidia geforce gts540 m the configuration wnabledd
it to perform rather effortlessly in all our garphices performance tests. marking it one of the best
performers . degin and bulid qulity aren’t ignored eather and its on of the ebst of lotin therms of
ergonomics and features. the extermal shell f the z570 , for example, is strong and seek with its
brushed mental finish surrounding the keybord and backit htkey for multimedia applications.

the z570 doesn’t get too hot when under load and offers reasobable battery life lesting a little more
than a hour during our ghghly intensive battery test ease off on the grapiuces intensive appplications
and you easily be able to streach the batter life to several hous if office porducititvty software and
browsing is uyour proboly the sereenis rely good and the sperkers are bnrilent for the price. they’s the
screen is really good and ithe sepkers are brilliant for the prive. thery’re prominent no tucked under
the laptop so the sound is llund and clear making ti great for casulal misic or even for watching movies.

the keybord has a chicket style design as a with the case of most other laptoops. as is with the case of
most our loaptps , but lenovo has made sure the have plugged in a compete bumercal keypad and a
porper sized touchpad as well. typing is a joy and you’ll rerelyhy go wound with it the key have a very
light feell to them too.

there are other monor thigs worutgh mentioning. such as the toggle switch that laows you to force
disable the bndidia graphics solution completely so the laptop doesn.t trun on rthw discre grpches
solution even it it ned to an ou ge evenmore battery life. unlinke the other laptops in this test. there’s
even esata port. the model we recived had no usb 3.0 pors although other in the proce rages did.

for a product there’s hat’s priced juct under rs 40,000 its no too expensive however, a faster processor
would have nevertheless, it’s a very good laptop an has all the ingradients required to make the best
performaer is nour test form great overall perfomace multimedia hotkeys great disgn against a tad bit

expensive could inclededa faster cpu

asuus ms-100

the asks ms-100 features a built in stereo us sound chip and does not need any drivers. through its
compact in size. the design in rather wearied the bottom of each spear has a rubber padding which
presents form moving around due to vibration the firmer are well protected from physical damage by
a metal grille, but it’s not detachable the fixed cables are just long enough to be contacted the pca or
laptop . the total power output is a has a 54 mm driver. we ran a few audio bass and tables are sober

and there is the audio tests and found them pretty good the bas and tables are sober and there is no

distortion even at gihter volumes the audio quality is decent enough for casual music and gaming.

pny bar attache

if your pc or laptop is usb3.0 ready . it makes sense to look past usb 2.0 storage devices and settle for a usb
3.0 device. the pby bar attaché promises read and write speeds up to 65 mg/s respectively. courtesy it’s
usbterfacce. bar attaché is available in 8 gb, 16 and 32 gab capacities and we got the lowest capacity variant for
the test.

we first tried this derive on an intel levy bridge powered rig. crystadiskmark speeds of 39.92. ms/s and 10.7
respectively. since it was way too less the results on dell xps 13 ultra-book and an amd fusion-powered rig a
usbn 2.0 flash drive would perform almost at par in fact you’d perform almost at par in fact you’d get faster
writher speed.

logitech mini boombox

the mini boom box just about fits in the palm and its one of most compact portable speakers we have
seen so far. the built in bluetooth adapter supports wireless playback and speakerphone function.
in addition. it has a 3.5 line in jack that allows you to use cellphones and portable media players as
sources.

the all back shell packs a pair of 3w neobdmulum drivers behind a metal grille on the front. the top
surface looks plain until the touch pensive control panel illuminates at touch.

for its diminutive size, the kind of volume the mini boom box can belt out is very impressive. the
quality of output is comparable to standard 2.0 sterol desktop seekers. the overall sound quality is very
good but no excellent.

the fad is 2.1 sterol multimedia speaker system aimed a t internment and gaming buffs’ the
trapezoidal plastic shell of each satellite houses a single 2inch driver with a power rating of 17.5 watt
rams . the sub-woofer isn.t too large and it packs a single 5 inch driver for delivering low frequencies.
the total power output is 70 watt rms. it’s quite challenging for a single diver to both mid rage and
hot frequencies accurately. in this case the highs aren’t too pronounces and the vocals sound a bit
muddled. the bass isn’t very tight but it’s quite warm keeping these issues in mind we found the
speakers good the bollywood. rock, and pop house techno, jazz and classical music lover should stay

away.

Olympics cracks down on Twitter

Athletes at the 2012 Olympics have been been given strict regulation about tweeting or posting
to social media websites during the games. They may post only in a first-person “diary style”
and may not take any photos within the Olympic Villages. All photos much have the consent
of everyone in them, and commentary and news posts are banned. The IOC wants to avoid all
kinds of controversy and protect its sponsors. Rather than harnessing social media, the rules
put a damper on all kinds of communication.

Mac users see pricier options

Travel portal Orbitz has decided to show Mac users more expensive hotel rooms by default
when search results are displayed. The company has noticed that Mac users tend spend 30
to 40 percent more for better rooms than their counterparts who visit the site from Windows
PCs. While these users aren’t being charged for money for the same services, they aren’t being
shown the best deals either. The move raises questions about privacy and neutrality, but such
kinds of targeting are likely to become more commonplace in the future. Owners of Apple
products to tend to have higher incomes, but not all will consider this a convenience.

BitTorrent Torque adds features

BitTorrent, the distributed data transmission protocol that is nearly synonymous with piracy,
has unveiled a new suite of services that might give copyright enforces a whole new set of
headaches. BitTorrent Torque is essentially a set of JavaScript controls that open up APIs for

turn Torrents into regular Web downloads, and control file transfers by simple dragging and
dropping.

ex-Meego team to launch Jolla

A group of recently laid off Nokia engineers have announced plans to rescue what they can of
the abandoned MeeGo operating system. The group calls itself Jolla, and has already signed
up a partner in China to distribute its first products. Jolla plans to have two smartphones ready
within a year, but will be unable to support Nokia’s N9, which was the only MeeGo phone ever
to be released. The group is motivated by the promise they see in MeeGo and the positive
reactions the N9 earned even though it was never adequately supported or promoted by Nokia.
MeeGo was supposed to replace Maemo as Nokia’s high-end OS.

Microsoft announces cheap upgrade plans for Windows 8

Microsoft has announced extremely favorable prices for upgraders to Windows 8. Customers in
131 markets running Windows XP, Vista or 7 will be able to upgrade for only US$ 39.99 (approx
Rs 2,240) and add Media Center for free, which is just a third of what Windows 7 was offered
for when it launched. The price is applicable to digital downloads of the new operating system
which will launch on October 26 this year. Users of 32-bit Windows 8 installation and the
scheme will not apply to those installing afresh OS on a blank drive. The promotional price is
valid till January 31, 2013. Microsoft has also greatly reduced the number of separate versions
of Windows that will be available, with only standard and Pro versions available at retail.
There won’t be any separate Home Premium and Ultimate editions, but a new System Builder
package will serve the same purpose as cheaper OEM copies of earlier versions which circulated
unofficially.

Apple calls EPEAT outdated and irrelevant, flip-flops on membership

Apple has reversed its decision to withdraw from EPEAT, the American environmental
standards body which certifies electronic products for recyclability and energy efficiency, mere
days after surprising the world by calling EPEAT’s standards outdated and irrelevant. Apple
might have been trying to strongarm the body into updating its standards, but no exact reason
has been given for rejoining. EPEAT does not currently cover mobile phones and tablets, and
Apple also points out that it doesn’t account for other factors such as the removal of toxic
chemicals. While 39 computer products qualify for EPEAT certification, industry watchers
speculate that the initial withdrawal had to do with Apple’s decision to fuse the display
glass and batteries to the aluminum body of its latest MacBook Pro model .EPEAT released
a statement welcoming Apple back and hinting that the two would be working together to
update the environmental standards. Many corporate IT departments as well as government
and educational institutions which purchase computers in bulk require or give preference to
products which EPEAT certified, which could have dented Apple’s sales.
