Canon's G11 picks up best Expert Compact award from TIPA

TIPA is an association made up of 29 photography and imaging magazines across 13 European countries.

The judges stated that the model, which features a 28-140mm (equivalent) optical zoom lens and high-resolution 10.0-megapixel CCD sensor, "is a great tool to work with precision and discretion".

Bangin' sounds homies

Tired of wearing earphones and want to share your sounds with the neighbourhood?
JVC knows what time it is.

JVC says the boombox is baaack. But with an iPod dock, of course.

JVC says, "The new RV-NB50 Boomblaster boasts 40 watts of power and retains the original’s general design - a large cylindrical shape with a woofer at each end. Bass enhancement circuitry ensures room-rattling low frequency performance. Digital era upgrades include the iPod dock, which is shielded from the elements by a protective door, and USB Host for playback of music files stored on a USB mass storage device. In addition, there’s a CD player that can handle MP3 and WMA file playback, and an FM tuner. For additional flexibility, there’s a front audio input. A remote control makes it easy to operate while a shoulder strap makes it a cinch to carry.

Makes some NOISE, people. Responsibly, of course.
