| Sony Ericsson Z525a Review - Conclusion
The Sony Ericsson Z525a is a phone that is fun to use and includes an incredible amount of features and customization options for its compact size and affordable price. What the features may lack in depth, they make up for in quantity and originality. Entertaining features such as the digital camera's picture frames and the phone's light effects that flash in time to the ringtone, in addition to important features like its Bluetooth connectivity, make it easier to overlook some of its flaws. From the customizable themes and menus to the ringtone creator and Style-Up covers, this phone allows an incredible degree of customization. With the addition of the Push to Talk option on this model, Sony Ericsson continues to pack more into the Z525a's "styled-up" clamshell. .

Camera makers vie for SLR buyers' attention
Camera manufacturers including Canon, Pentax, and Fujifilm will show new digital SLRs for professional photographers at the PMA07 show in Las Vegas next month. The new models balance traditional and advanced features to retain existing customers and tempt new ones. Canon will show the EOS-1D Mark III Digital SLR, an upgrade of its classic 1D model that shoots 10.1 megapixel images at up to 10 frames per second. Canon developed a more sensitive image sensor for the camera that can be pushed to ISO 6400, it said Thursday. Fujifilm, meanwhile, will show the FinePix S5 Pro, which begins shipping this month. The digital SLR has a 12.34 megapixel image sensor: half the pixels respond best to low light levels, the other half to stronger light, a system that captures images with a wider dynamic range, the company said.
Nikon's Coolpix S51c: Not Cool Enough
Over the past couple of years, Nikon has been amping up the style of its Coolpix point-and-shoot cameras to compete with the likes of Canon and Sony for consumers who buy just as much for looks as for performance. The 5-ounce Nikon Coolpix S51c fits squarely in that category, with a sleek silver-and-chrome faceplate that immediately catches the eye. The front of this $280 camera is slightly thicker on the right side, where a built-in Wi-Fi radio is housed. The back is devoted almost entirely to the 3-inch, antireflective, liquid-crystal display screen, which makes quite a statement, though it might not be one many will like. Despite a relatively bright luminance, there's no painless way to quickly adjust the display in sun and other glaring light. Instead, you have to dig through a cumbersome menu on the screen, fighting the glare as you do.
