(REVIEW)

The Sony Reader Wi-Fi PRS-T1 is a compact and lightweight touch-screen e-book reader.

It offers access to large catalog of e-books, magazines, and newspapers via Sony's online store, plus online loaners from your local library, has support for EPUB files, and is compatible with any e-book store that uses the Adobe DRM format. This Sony also offers audio capabilities, a microSD card expansion slot, and its battery lasts for up to five weeks on a single charge with Wi-Fi off.

A year later, Sony has now updated its Reader line, and this time the company is more in tune with current e-reader features.

. Instead of three Reader models with various pricing and feature sets, Sony now has one $149 model, the Sony Reader Wi-Fi PRS-T1. It does, however, come in three colors (black, red, or white). The Reader Wi-Fi retains the responsive touch screen of its predecessors and (as the name suggests) adds Wi-Fi.



In all, it's a very solid e-reader. The only problem is it doesn't do much to distinguish itself from the competition: Barnes & Noble and Amazon offer cheaper models with similar or identical feature sets, and content offerings of their respective stores are more extensive.



(Design and features)
 

While the Reader Wi-Fi is essentially a redesigned version of last year's PRS-650, the new model has an all-new chassis and weighs less (partially due to an all-plastic, rather than metal, casing).

Overall, the Reader Wi-Fi has an elegant, classy look, and we liked the design. Our only real complaint was that glossy finish on the border around the touch screen (think of the finish on the original PS3) shows fingerprints.

With Wi-Fi now aboard and the inclusion of a microSD card slot for expanding beyond the built-in 2GB of memory, the Reader Wi-Fi is on par with its competitors from a specs perspective..

Sony Alpha NEX-5N

It has great video but also great low light picture taking. The APS-C sensor

really does well in low light.

he Sony Alpha NEX-5N also offers some nice features, including a tilting LCD, EVF port, and a hybrid touch-screen/traditional interface.

The NEX-5N is capable of shooting some very nice photos and has an excellent noise profile for its price class.

Sony's IMAGING WING

Sony's imaging wing has been on a roll lately, with the brilliant NEX-7 and equally impressive
Alpha A77 DSLR simply blowing us away with brand new features and excellent image quality..

wapping in an electronic version puts the DEV-3 ($1,400) and DEV-5 ($2,000) in a completely new category -- if an excellent (and traditional) viewing experience is what you're after, these "cost-competitive" optics really won't hit the spot. Jump past the break for our impressions.

We went hands-on with a pre-production sample of the 3D binocs, which replace the traditional optical finders with a pair of high-res LCD EVFs. But when you consider that high-end binoculars are a joy to use because of their excellent optical viewfinders

- if an excellent (and traditional) viewing experience is what you're after, these "cost-competitive" optics really won't hit the spot. Jump past the break for our impressions.
