The new Pentax Kx is an evolution of last year's Pentax Km. System cameras are intended for people who do not already have an SLR. According to the manufacturer goes under the category of entry-level models. Therefore, among other things pushed up the size as much as possible, then just the size has been one of the major reasons why many consumers opted to purchase compact cameras rather than SLR.

Pentax Km features a new CMOS sensor that delivers 12.4 megapixels. Quality to compete with cameras at a much higher price. Now we have not tested the camera, so this is the manufacturer's own words. In addition to taking still pictures, you can also record HD video at a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels at 24 frames per second.

Pentax Kx is of course a lot of functionality. Among other things, include anadvanced anti shake function that facilitates shooting in low light or with large zooming - situations when it comes to being a steady hand. Light View finesseallows you to see the image on the LCD screen. This is something that usually only found on compact cameras, SLRs, since generally only has an optical viewfinder.

According to news website TechRadar seems Pentax Kx come in more than black, even if not part of the press release I got sent to me.TechRadar has photos of both a red and a white Pentax Kx.

3.5-inch format is the size most commonly used as internal hard drives in desktop computers are concerned. External hard drives in this format usually have a power adapter. 2.5-inch disks can often be powered directly by the USB cable that you use to connect your hard drive to your computer. There is also this size of hard drives used in laptops. Are you looking for a dish that is quick to connect and want to avoid unnecessary clutter, it is probably a 2.5-inch disk to buy.

Performance

In the case of the rotational speed is usually the most often be lower in 2-5-inch disks than in the 3.5-inch disks. Avoid drives where the rotational speed is 4500 RPM or lower. The higher the rotational speed you have on your hard drive, the shorter seek time and better performance.

The cache memory on the hard disk is a temporary memory where data is stored in anticipation of your computer to assimilate the information requested. When using a program that is very disk intensive, such as video editing software or music recording, playing cache extra large role. In the current situation, you should have a minimum of 8 MB, preferably 16 MB cache on your drive.

Connection

There are several ways to connect an external hard drive. Firewire , USB and eSATAare the options available and these are ESATA the fastest option. So far, however, relatively few computers that are equipped with an eSATA port and the speed Firewire (800 Mbps) and USB 2 (480Mbps) offers is perfectly adequate for most needs.

Following approval by the Italian Government, the new security package taken place in recent days, many were and still are the news and controversy about changing these rules about the topic Wi-Fi, which clearly affects all users accustomed to using laptops or smartphones to connect even in public.

With this measure, the Council of Ministers shall eliminate de facto part of Article 7 of the Pisanu Decree (which needs to be abolished entirely of an express repeal) and regulates in a new way to use and the provision of wireless internet networks wires.

But in reality, with this decree, what changes? E 'is the question facing almost all Internet users and that until now has not a single answer.

To listen to the Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, from January 1 will be allowed "to connect to Wi-Fi systems without the restrictions introduced five years ago and are now overtaken by technology, but this is not yet clear from a purely practical view.

At the moment, experts suggest two different levels of responsibility: one related to the operators, which would no longer apply to the Quaestors to request authorization to enter a free network in their activities, and one, however, for users for whom even to be clarified are the means of authentication, which may occur also through SMS as previously permitted - even if it is almost never mentioned - a circular of the Prodi government in 2007.

Still unclear is the situation after this interesting, but currently no detailed measure. The Government provides news in December with regard to practical applications and explanations on the matter. Meanwhile, the users, including users and lovers of the "portability", waiting with trepidation.
