Digital Camera’s are getting increasing popular and once people acquire a basic one there is an urge to have a Digital SLR.

Why an SLR? Its considered to be a professional. The point and shoot camera are suppose to be only for Beginners. I disagree with that to an extent because the more complexity you have in your camera, you end up spending more time setting it up. This specially doesn’t work when see something interesting and want to quickly take a shot.

Normally SLRs are also more expensive but I came across an inexpensive one. The Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3

At around US$ 350 I think its a good deal.

Things I liked:

  • 12X Optical Zoom
  • SD Memory
  • AA Batteries

    AMD has launched a low cost PC targeted at markets such at India.

    We have to wait and watch to see at what price this will be launched in India. Prices are likely to go down as volumes Increase.

    This device runs Windows CE, if they used Linux instead, they could have reduced prices even further.
