Nikon Introduces SLR D5000

 

The Nikon D5000 features a 12.3-megapixels image sensor  with DX CMOS format and a 2.7-inch adjustable-angle screen (vari-angle monitor). It can take photos continually at a speed of 4 frames per second  and record High Definition (HD) movies with a resolution of  1280 x 720  at a speed of 24 frames per second. The camera has a HDMI connector to support a direct HDTV connectivity.

The vari-angle monitor can be used when it is attached to the back of the camera in a safe way but the user also can turn it freely, rotate it or move it up and down. The camera also offers “Subjective Tracking” autofocus which locks on to a moving subject as well as “Face Priority” autofocus that can detect up to five faces in a scene in order to focus the closest subject.

The camera also supports 19 automatic Scene Modes that will adjust the camera settings in order to capture sport pictures, portraits, candlelight photos, and more. Also, the camera has some editing functions that include a Soft Filter effect, Perspective Control (that can fix some distortions in perspective when taking architecture photos), Color Outline (that creates monochrome outlines of objects in images) and other capabilities.

A dust reduction system is included with the camera. This system cleans the sensor and removes the dust from there directly. There is a “Quiet Sensor Mode” that keeps the mirror cycling noise to a minimum, which is perfect to use the camera in wedding events and other events that require a careful operation.

Flying Cars

Terrafugia Transition

 

 

The Transition, developed by former Nasa engineers, is powered by the same 100bhp engine on the ground and in the air. Terrafugia claims it will be able to fly up to 500 miles on a single tank of petrol at a cruising speed of 115mph. Up to now, however, it has been tested only on roads at up to 90mph. Construction, testing and certification of the Production Prototype will follow completion of the Proof of Concept’s testing program. First customer delivery of a Transition® Roadable Aircraft is expected to occur in 2011. 

 

 

The Skycar

 Developed by Moller International, The Skycar is the first and only feasible, personally affordable, personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle the world has ever seen.From your garage to your destination, the M400 Skycar can cruise comfortably at 275 MPH (maximum speed of 375 MPH) and achieve up to 20 miles per gallon on clean burning, ethanol fuel. No traffic, no red lights, no speeding tickets. Just quiet direct transportation from point A to point B in a fraction of the time. Three dimensional mobility in place of two dimensional immobility.  

 Cardozo’s Skycar 

 Designed by Gilo Cardozo, a british engineer the Skycar is powered by a modified 140bhp Yamaha R1 superbike engine with a lightweight automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission) gear-box from a snowmobile. It boasts Ferrari-beating acceleration on land, an air speed of up to 80mph and can swap between road and flight modes in minutes.Billed as the “World’s First Bio-fuelled Flying Car,” the Skycar is part parachute, part fan-powered swamp boat and part X-Bow. Whereas convertible car makers take about how quickly their vehicles can go from sunny exposure to rainy-day protection, Skycar designers like Gilo Cardozo tell us that conversion from “road mode” to “fly mode” and visa-versa will take three minutes.
