Three Sub-$1000 DSLRs Compared: Which is Right For You?
Not everyone wants to purchase an expensive DSLR camera just to take pictures of our friends’ weddings and vacations to Reno—but some still want the option of tinkering around with DSLR functionality on occasion. Here are three sub-$1000 cameras: the Sony Alpha A100, Canon Rebel XTi and the Nikon D80. Which one’s the best for you? It depends what you want.
If you’re looking for better image quality, the Canon is the winner. If you’re looking for quicker shot to shot speed or startup to shot speed, it’s the Nikon. The Canon also had less noise and more dynamic range, but the Nikon performed better in low light. However if you’ve got troubles holding your camera still, the Sony is the winner in image stabilization. If you’re looking for which camera looks the best (subjective), they anoint the Nikon as the king.
The Sony Alpha A100 is intended for buyers who don’t plan to buy more advanced equipment soon. The Canon certainly could be, and the Nikon is not just an entry camera, it’s an appropriate backup body for prosumers and pros on a budget.

High Definition: European PS3 Ad
We get a demonic baby, Japan gets a revelation while brushing, and Europe gets exploding furniture that touts the benefits of High Definition? It’s hard to say which region is the winner—I think we’re all losers here. – Jason Chen

PS3 Commercial Makes More Sense in Japanese
The last PS3 commercial we laid our eyes on gave us nightmares and scarred us for life thanks to a naked Chucky-style baby. This one (which was made for Japan’s launch) makes a lot more sense, despite it being in Japanese. It goes straight to the point (11/11) though we still think they need a new ad agency. – Louis Ramirez
