Lots of new HP point and shoot cameras...

All budget ones. Right, usually i would perfer posting about higher end point and shoot cameras, and nice SLRs, but, Engadget has a list of 9 HP budget cameras just released. Now, why would i be interested, when i have a grand worth of SLR and Glass in the house? Well, you cant really bring them to the Pub, or a birthday party with Drink and drunken people, especially if you will be drinking too. These are the kind of cameras which you dont mind accidentally dropping... So, check them out. cheapest is $80, most expencive is about $300.

GigaPixel photos

Docbert.org has some very cool photos, some of which are in the Gigapixel range, and very high mega pixel counts too. there are 3 in total: Chicago by night, at a Gigapixel (tech info here), Machu Picchu, at a staggering 1.5GP (again, info here) and Sydney by night, at 720MP (tech info here). This is pretty interesting stuff. in the info pages, the photographer says how the photo was generated, but there are no details about if there was a special tripod or anything used to take the photos. Very cool stuff though.
