Canon EOS 400D Camera Review


Canon EOS 400D SLR camera: Three years ago, shocked the market, Canon cameras with the launch of the six-megapixel EOS 300D. He was a revolutionary price would be very important for the DSLR market. Suddenly, a digital SLR camera for the amateur photographer. And it is all for this event, digital SLR models in high demand. After a year and a half, took the Canon EOS 350D, which easily adapts to the success of its predecessor. It is likely that the successor to the EOS 350D is back for another year and a half later. This was the case. Canon happens to be the last DSLR Canon EOS 400D, a ten-megapixel model. Significantly, the EOS 350D will remain in stores. This does not change the fact however that the Canon 400D his successor should be considered.


In each iteration of the Canon Digital Rebel family raises the bar for image quality and camera features while lowering the starting price. This iteration brings us the Canon EOS Rebel XTi / 400D Digital SLR price level image quality and professionalism. The EOS Digital Rebel XTi (USA), 400D EOS Kiss Digital X (Japan) and EOS (anywhere) is easy enough for beginners, but strong enough to do the job for many professionals. In 18 months, Canon has sold 1.2 million units 350D/Rebel XT SLR digital. The 400D/XTi take their place in the market. Note: Canon leaves rarely updated to launching new digital SLR models. Older models are reduced in price for some time - and is no longer available.


So what about the Rebel XTi? The short list:



  • New 10.1 effective megapixel CMOS (versus 8.0 on the Rebel XT)

  • Further reduction of dust (more on this later)

  • Large 2.5-inch LCD display (versus 1.8 “on the XT)

  • No further information LCD (main LCD is used instead)

  • 9 AF points (to 7 points)

  • Now you can take more shots in a row in burst mode (27 vs 14 JPEG, RAW 10 vs 6)

  • New Picture Style function for the first time in the EOS 5D and 30D

  • The battery life is 10% less than the XT

  • Everything else is the same. You get a very compact case (for an SLR), manual controls everything you can imagine, and support of Canon EF and EF-S.


Contents of the box?


As mentioned in the introduction, the Rebel XTi is available in two packages: the body only with an EF-S 18-55. This is what we found in each of these sets:



  • A 10.1-megapixel Rebel XTi digital camera body

  • 18-55mm F3.5 - 5.6 Mk II EF-S lens [lens kit only]

  • NB-2LH Li-Ion Battery

  • Battery Charger

  • Lanyard

  • Eye

  • Cover

  • USB Cable

  • Video Cable

  • CD-ROM with the EOS Digital Solution software and user manual

  • 179 page camera manual (printed)


As with all Canon digital SLR cameras no memory card included with the Rebel XTi, so you need to work on the full purchase price. Fortunately, CompactFlash cards are cheap these days, and I recommend a 1 GB card size good starting point. The Rebel XTi Card Type I and II, including Microdrive. Buying a high speed CF card (50X or higher) is a good idea.


The frequency of importers, to believe the differences between the types of EOS are so great. Of course, the camera also has seen a lot of internal changes. The Canon 400D has, for example, has 9 AF points as the more expensive EOS 30D, while the buffer was increased to 27 JPEG or 10 RAW images. A notable difference between the EOS 350D and EOS 400D new concerns of the image sensor. However, not so much the fact that the number of pixels has increased to 10 megapixels, the difference compared with 8 megapixels, this is still not as significant. The increase in megapixels is probably used to compete with the still camera, a marketing tool if you want. The third weapon in the battle against dust is the new low pass filter. A piezoelectric element is allowed to vibrate, thus falling into the dust filter, and therefore out of sight. Digital SLR enthusiasts might see us this story surprisingly familiar. If despite these precautions, you’ll find dust in the file can be easily removed by the software. Simply take a photo of a sheet of white paper.



EOS 40D Grip


Battery: The XTi is the same as the XT NB-2LH, but reduced due to the larger screen, its function as a status indicator, and the new system of self-purification, self-reliance. You can expect 500 pictures at room temperature (without flash) and 360 shots with flash 50%. At temperatures below zero, this reduces to the expectations of a respectable 370 and up to 280 photos without flash.


If you want to use AA batteries on the Rebel XTi, then an option on the battery trying. They spend almost $ 150 buy Canon BG-E3 grip(dslr battery grip), or you can take Targus Rebel XT / XTi Battery Grip for under $ 100. I had the opportunity to build from the clutches of Targus, and it feels like my Canon 20D grip. Whatever you take care now, you can at once two NB-2LH batteries or six AA batteries, the company doubled the lifespan of the battery from the camera. You also get some extra buttons and dials, and that makes the camera easier to hold together.

DisplaySearch: 09 global solar capacity will grow 56%


With the flat panel display market research and technology more than 13 years of research experience and research framework, DisplaySearch has officially entered the solar cell industry, technology and market research, and formally announced today the first issue of DisplaySearch report --- solar industry worldwide solar cell production capacity of the database and Trend Quarterly Report (Quarterly PV Cell Capacity Database & Trends Report).


According to DisplaySearch released in the third quarter of 2009 the global solar cell production capacity of the database and Trend quarterly report, the global solar cell (Solar Cell) of production capacity will grow 56% over last year to reach 17GW (170 billion watts.) 2005 global production capacity only up to 2.3GW (23 billion watts), however, companies actively involved in the expansion around the world under the 2013 will grow to 42GW (420 billion watts.) The following photos for the global solar cell production forecast by the type of technology.


"Although the changes in the global economy and the national government subsidies to reduce the impact of the global solar cell module (Module) needs 17% decline in 2009, but because many solar cells (Cell) of the equipment has been order by the manufacturer, and in accordance with time-machines, with many manufacturers are still actively expanding in 2009, the global solar cell production capacity will continue to grow substantially 56%. "DisplaySearch dedicated solar energy industry is responsible for market and technology research Charles Annis said.


Annis further stated: "As the demand and capacity are inconsistent, the current solar industry is through over-supply crisis, and led to the module prices rapidly declining, and there may be many solar cells Cell manufacturers damage of combat, particularly in film technology than the giant firms affected. We expect next year's solar cell industry will experience a crisis of overcapacity in the industrial restructuring, the recovery in 2011 as demand, industry will have better prospects. "


DisplaySearch in the latest issue of the third quarter of 2009 the global solar cell production capacity of the database and Trend quarterly report, the other focus are summarized as follows:


1 up to 2006, Japan has the world's largest production capacity, the Chinese mainland manufacturers since 2005 actively into new plant capacity expansion, and in 2007 became the world's largest solar cell producer, and is expected in 2009, accounting for the global Solar Cell production capacity by one third.


2 2009 Film (Thin Film) solar cell production capacity of 3.58GW (35.8 billion watts), of which 30% of the use of 600mm x 1,200 mm substrate size; this size is antimony cadmium (CdTe) solar cells, the standard substrate size and First Solar is currently used by other manufacturers. Commonly known as 5 generations of 1,000 x 1,200 mm to 1,100 x 1,400 mm glass substrate production of thin film solar cells in the second, accounting for 18% of all films.


3 From January 2008 to July 2009 to date, the global total added 11.4GW (114 billion watts) of new solar cell production capacity, this huge demand for new capacity is 2009 in the case of poor productivity under substantial growth of 56% is still the main reason.


4 2005 years the global solar cell production line with 95% of crystallization, 5% of thin film technology. When in 2009 the global total production capacity of thin film technology is expected to reach 20% by 2013 is expected to grow to 30%.


5 for amorphous silicon (a-Si) production capacity in 2009, four major equipment supplier for the AMAT, Oerlikon, ULVAC, and EPV; the four equipment manufacturers for the supply of production capacity reached 946MW (9 亿 4,600 million W), which is half the capacity of all Si.


6 accordance with the 2009 global solar cell (Cell) capacity point of view, First Solar is the largest manufacturer, the production capacity of 10 gigawatts (1GW), Q-Cells and Suntech tied for second.

Li-ion battery hybrid motor car market prospects

Li-ion battery hybrid motor car market prospects


Japan Automobile Research Institute recently announced that Japan will take the lead in the popularity of hybrid vehicles in the lithium battery, which will enable Japan has led the world in countries in hybrid vehicle technology icing on the cake.


Li-ion battery than the current mainstream nickel metal hydride battery size and weight have reduced by about half, to improve the hybrid's fuel efficiency is important, has become the first choice for the next generation of hybrids. At present, around the production of lithium batteries, the world's car manufacturers and the electrical, electronics companies have developed in an increasingly competitive.


Japan's Hitachi said it would invest 20 billion to 30 billion yen by 2015, the current lithium-ion batteries for hybrid production capacity by about 70 times.


Allegedly, Hitachi will increase investment and expand its business by Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture is located in capacity, as soon as possible new high-capacity lithium battery production, the product will be mainly provided to the U.S. General Motors Corporation.


Earlier, Germany announced that from 2009 to launch a 360 million euros in the automotive lithium battery development program, almost all German cars, and energy giant, will carry information to join. The German government said the plan, marked Germany will enter the electric car era.


At the same time, Daimler and RWE energy company also announced that it will work together to build 500 electric car charging stations. German auto industry alliance is expected of Germany before 2012, commercial production of electric vehicles will be pulled off.


The main advantage of electric vehicles is both energy saving, but also produce a wide range of environmental effects. Studies have shown that the use of electric vehicles to pass one kilometer road, the cost of needed gasoline cheaper than 80-90%, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by vehicles is generally 70%.


Recently disclosed METI, Japan, in 2010 and strive for the next generation of the new lithium battery electric vehicles.


May 15 this year, Toyota, Nissan Motor Co. and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. and other related businesses signed an agreement to jointly develop a unified specification of the new generation of automotive lithium batteries, and plans to mass production within 2 years. Toshiba decided to spend 500 billion yen to develop electric cars with lithium-ion batteries, which power will be two years into the efficient semi-commercial production is planned for 2011 will be increased for high-performance lithium-ion batteries with different characteristics three categories, namely, in addition to the current ordinary type, the respective development support will also be hybrid and electric vehicles high output and high energy density power type lithium ion battery type.


Popularity of electric vehicles is a key issue is the need to build enough power to add facilities. To this end, Tokyo Electric Power Company announced that it will take the lead in the infrastructure, first built in the metropolitan area next year, more than 200 charging stations, three years after the increase will go to more than 1000. Japan's major car companies have responded positively involved in the study and engineering, and eagerly look forward to "de-oil" era came to Japan as soon as possible. At present, the Tokyo Electric Power Company has successfully developed a large-scale rapid charger, every 10 minutes fully charged, can travel the distance is 60 kilometers, so charging time is shortened, and further accelerate the increasing use of electric vehicles in Japan the pace.


It is reported that the establishment of a charge for each facility cost 400 million yen. Tokyo Electric Power Company for supermarket parking lot in Japan, convenience stores and post offices and other public places charging facilities gradually building to facilitate people off shopping and errands can get the car added power.


According to Japan Automobile Research Institute predicted the popularity of hybrids according to the present projections, by 2020, hybrid car in Japan will reach about 360 million. High-performance lithium batteries have been promoted if the popularity of hybrid vehicles reached 7.2 million are likely to further levels.


Local media commented that if the Japanese lithium batteries in a new generation of vehicles to obtain ISO certification opportunities and be in charge, and the enterprises will benefit immensely.


International trade that the electric car market in the next decade to develop into what kind of scale, will depend on whether the cost of lithium batteries down quickly, but an indisputable fact is that the potential of this market will be huge enough to meet the needs of large-scale production.

Conclusion: Dell Inspiron converted line is the new 14-inch Inspiron 1420 laptop that has a makeover inside and out. Extensive configuration options mean that virtually any current user, a system to fit your budget.


 


Dell Inspiron 1420 Laptop


Decay before 1420, as "traditional design of Dell" can be described with simplified lines. The Inspiron 1420 lid does not latch to keep closed, but the hinge mechanism works well and firmly holds the lid. Core 2 Duo processors that come with the Inspiron 1420 provide more than enough performance, even at a lower end 0.5 GHz T5250. The T7500 processor at 2.2 GHz in our test unit packs an impressive coup and included optional NVIDIA 8400M GS dedicated graphics card provides enough power for HD video and serious gaming. The 14.1-inch glossy screen in our test unit is a gorgeous WXGA 1440 x 900 pixel display with excellent contrast and vivid colors. Several Inspiron 1420 owners in our discussion forums claim that the standard WXGA 1280 x 800 pixels suffering endured by "Korn", but our high-resolution screen of any problems. The full-sized keyboard is solid in 1420, almost without bending. The keys have minimal travel with excellent cushion and response, and are not essential for the home, End, Page Up and Page Down dedicated. The 1420 also has special media buttons above the keyboard and speakers. The 1420 has built-in stereo sound via speakers located above the keyboard. With the speakers located at the top of the interior in this way, tend to set the tone against direct and offer reasonably good to hear. The 1420 works very quiet, even with the 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo. The fan heat remained calm and under control. Ultimately, but not perfect the 1420 is a solid notebook that want to be able to be an excellent system, back to school.


 


Battery


Battery life in 1420 with the standard 6-cell battery was only average at best. Even with the brightness of the screen less than half, wireless, and Vista power settings set to maximize battery life, the engine of 1420 to just over 2 hours (2 hours and 3 minutes). With the same parameters of the 9-cell battery provided 3 hours and 51 minutes from time. If the size and weight are the major concerns of your trip, we recommend purchasing the 9-cell battery for the dell laptop insprion 1420.

Application skills of the laptop battery cost analysis method

Application skills of the laptop battery cost analysis method


With the rapid proliferation of notebook computers, notebook batteries by the majority of the growing importance of consumer attention. Give a good laptop battery is not only the user's mobile commerce and digital lives of great convenience, but also can eliminate the future use of insecurity. A piece of notebook batteries do not, can not be met except for the users of its mobile digital life, it will also bring the use of hidden dangers, especially security issues. A battery explosion caused the destruction of a notebook, or even lead to more serious consequences.


So choose a good laptop battery is significant. However, the battery update the original price of the hundreds of thousands, many users choose a better price in the market face replacement products. But the two maintenance market price of the replacement products from 100 - 800 range, making it difficult for consumers to judge the quality from the price of the good or bad.


In this essay, by analyzing the composition and laptop battery designed to help people in from the current market price of laptop battery on businesses and other considerations to choose the best laptop batteries.


Lithium-ion laptop battery is 18650 batteries with protection circuit board and composed of PVC plastic shell, the following analysis of the cost of an item:


1.18650 2200,2400,2600 mah lithium-ion battery is divided into three types, a typical laptop battery assembly with 8 batteries (series 2 and 4). If it is genuine original batteries, usually Japanese and Korean manufacturers or domestic regular grade A 18650 batteries, these batteries have the quality assurance and safety through rigorous testing, the cost is usually in the U.S. according to the different capacity of 3 yuan between left and right one, a normal laptop battery (8) costs about 24 U.S. dollars, equivalent to RMB: 170 or so.


If B grade or disassemble the battery (installed after the quality of the batteries, Japan, South Korea has the quality of the safety issues and even batteries are often dumped in China) the cost price of between RMB 10-15 Such batteries or re-assembly after assembly, an 8 batteries notebook batteries cost 80-120 yuan. In addition, even worse, some unscrupulous manufacturers to 18650 with more poor, often have security problems, it is easy to blast out of your notebook assembly of low-quality products, and its eight batteries in the laptop battery can cost around 50 yuan .


2. Laptop battery on the PCB panel, a good control panel, you can extend laptop battery life to protect the security, the cost is usually about 80 yuan; if it is a bad battery control panel PCB dysfunction, or disassemble board, the cost of 30 yuan,


3. PVC glue on the shell, the cost of a good plastic shell of 30 yuan, the bad low-quality goods at 10 yuan.


Summing up the appeal, there is a good quality assurance by the notebook battery (8) the cost should be around 280, so a good non-Original Notebook Battery (8 batteries) and a lower price, including operations cost and profit to reach the end consumer's hands should be 350-550 yuan; if it is low-quality notebook battery products B (8) costs 120 yuan, the price for 200-300; If the minimum quality laptop battery (8) costs for the 80 or so, the price is usually between 100-200.


China-made lithium-iron batteries will be available or gave birth to tens of billions of market


Recently, the Guangzhou-resistant Battery Technology Co., Ltd. announced when the first fully independent research and development of domestic manufacture of high-energy lithium-iron battery time. It is understood that the battery is a lithium iron until the beginning of this century, developed by the United States and Europe to replace alkaline batteries in high-tech products, the discharge performance of alkaline batteries commonly used in the present 7 times for 42 traditional carbon-zinc batteries times. In addition. Lithium iron battery does not contain any toxic or hazardous substances, lead, mercury content is zero, the green environmental performance outstanding.


According to reports, this lithium-iron batteries will be made half the price of imported brands sold in the country to promote the rapid spread of this market, long-term goal is to replace a wide range of alkaline batteries. Experts predict that the future replacement of this technology gave birth to a hundred million yuan will be a huge market.

The Canon Digital Rebel XT in the great success of the original Digital Rebel, build a device that has literally transformed the world of digital cameras on the head when introduced. A six megapixel SLR that sold with a goal of less than $ 1,000, the Digital Rebel not only Nikon, Olympus and Fuji in the D-SLR business question, but has pledged to reduce drastically in the all-in " prosumer "market. After the names of its highly popular "Rebel" line of SLR cameras, entry level, the Digital Rebel offers many new features and enhancements to the 10D same exposure, but something to keep costs under control and ensure some differentiation between the rebels and the scale of his brothers at a higher price.


When the original Digital Rebel has ceased, the Digital Rebel XT now runs and improved. The Rebel XT CMOS sensor 8.2-megapixel (8.0 megapixel images online) for an even higher resolution, better manual control over AF and metering modes, an adjustable EV step size, flash exposure compensation, and has a custom menu function to adjust the unit. There is a vast improvement over its predecessor, although the original Digital Rebel excellent camera in its own right. Read on for more details!


 



As digital cameras are smaller, less space for buttons, controls, indicators, and - the handles. One of the most controversial aspects of the EOS Rebel XT / 350D is the size of the handle. And yet, the size of the grip in relation to what we are accustomed. Photographers use a Canon bodies Series 1 are the Canon EOS Rebel XT / 350D is very low grip. P & S enthusiast photography the handle is similar to what is used - although the objective of greater diameter may leave less space than a few fingers avid P & S digital cameras. users of Pocket P & S is the handle is too large. You can not get their fingers deep into the handle that large organizations with Canon. By simply turning the right hand rear of the camera only gives you a good hand grip size (my opinion). My finger slides easily in a short lower body. Canon has a volume of grip small sacrifice to achieve a compact design - you can not get a grip size of a series in a small camera(camera battery).


I want Canon Canon EOS Rebel XT were added grip / handle is rubber 350D 20D. The 300D Digital Rebel has a rubber grip, but not as sticky as the handle 20D.


A disadvantage of the small handful of difficulties in tracking large vessels, while only handle increases. The purpose of the controls of the organization, not the reverse. The solution to this problem is simply in order to maintain control. Canon BG-E3 Grip (see Annex below) is a better solution, but the small size then sacrificed in part. Attached to the BG-E3, the handle is very nice image size with a good feeling. The horizontal format is better than without the grip BG-E3, but not as nice as the handful of portraits. The BG-E3 can be removed quickly installed / to make the best of both worlds. To manage a vast landscape, choose the 20D or 300D.


The Canon EOS Rebel XT / 350D style is very attractive and good in general / finish and build quality is very good. Of course, it is robust, weatherproof, waterproof Canon 1-series, but there is a difference in the cost so great. And while it might not be as robust as the 20D, I do not want to fall either to a 20D. The slightly rough, matte finish plastic exterior feels cheap / low for some, but the 350D, the Rebel XT is not authorized and has no interest for me to build (plastic technology today is very good). A handful of high quality rubber that go in creating a greater sense of quality.


Buttons and doors have not felt the top of the line quality of a body 1 of the series, but not weak. On the issue is - do not open the door, while the 350D is written to the CF card or lose the photos posted. I consider this function as an error, but usually do not open the door when the unit is written anyway (an indicator light on the back, it is clear when it occurs). I can detect very slight movement of the body by pressing firmly on the handle in just the right place XT. Again, this is not a big problem in my opinion.


The Canon EOS Rebel XT / 350D is almost finished a little brand - in particular marks, where the bayonet is the closest to the handle.

A new integrated battery charge and discharge control equipment

A new integrated battery charge and discharge control equipment


As a number of military applications large uninterruptible power equipment, energy consumption, so battery packs commonly used in serial mode to avoid excessive current. Serial battery charge and discharge with a single battery charge and discharge is different in different cell battery if the differences were not taken seriously it will cause the battery pack is less efficient, reducing battery life; consider the application of military equipment, the environment special requirements, not on the market today meet these requirements an integrated charge and discharge control equipment, so there could very well designed to meet these needs a new type of integrated battery charge and discharge control equipment.


1 System Overview


The integrated battery charge and discharge control equipment for the control of the MC68HC908SR12 microcontroller core, ancillary control design using FPGA. Including power supply circuit, constant current constant voltage charging control unit, balancing the discharge control unit, the central control unit, FPGA auxiliary control unit, temperature detection circuit, man-machine interface circuit. Integrated battery charge and discharge control equipment, primarily for military applications, a larger number of uninterruptible power equipment, energy consumption, commonly used in the case of the battery power supply in series design. Considered in the design process focused on the balance of the battery characteristics, to improve the series battery-powered group of efficiency and prolong its service life. Figure 1 is a block diagram of the system.


2 Hardware Design


Here on the charge and discharge control equipment, integrated overview of the hardware design process description.


2.1 Power Circuit


Charger using switching power supply as power supply equipment. Switching Power Supply using Pulse Modulation PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and the MOSFET, BTS, IGBT design and other electronic devices. Switching power supply high degree of integration, with a voltage regulator, current limiting, thermal protection. Compared with the linear power supply input voltage range (typically up to AC 85 ~ 265 V), small size, light weight and high efficiency. Meanwhile, the easy-to-FPGA auxiliary control unit to control it.


2.2 Charge Control Unit


Charging control unit using the current constant current constant voltage charging more mature circuit design is completed. Figure 2 is a circuit schematic. Constant current circuit from Motorola's microcontroller chip MC68HC908SR12 analog circuit module and the chip of the MOSFET switch, Schottky diodes, filter inductors, filter capacitors and other components composition. Analog circuit module is Motorola's microcontroller-specific parts MC68HC908SR12, which consists of the input multiplexer, programmable amplifier groups, on-chip temperature sensor, current detection circuit. The total magnification the amplifier can be programmed 1 to 256. Amplifier input can choose 2 analog input pin (ATD0, ATD1), on-chip temperature sensor, analog input (VSSAM). ATD0 and VSSAM can be connected between a current sense resistor for measuring the external current, it also connected to the current detection circuit, when the current exceeds a specified value and generate an interrupt when the output signal.


In the charge before the start of pre-processing stage, according to the different characteristics of the battery is detected, the software select the appropriate charging algorithm, the charging algorithm assisted by the control unit MCU and FPGA implementation. After the start of charging, the software timer capture the voltage sensing resistor R value, calculated that the output of single chip set control parameters SR12. Meanwhile, the current real-time detection of charge current detection circuit, when the current exceeds a specified value generates an interrupt when the SCM in a timely manner by the SR12 off the charge current to achieve constant current charge control.


Equalizing charge is a comprehensive control of the charge and discharge an important feature of the device. In the charging process, the quality is not the same as the battery capacity of the small, poor quality of the battery terminal voltage during the charge into the same voltage will appear after power up the battery more than the other, and if no measures are taken, they will be the voltage difference will increase, as well as one of the safety of the battery very quickly reach the required voltage, the charging process will be forced to stop. At this time of high pressure should stop charging the battery, that is a balanced charge. This will help restore damaged cells within the battery so that the charging process can go smoothly.


2.3 Discharge Control Unit


Discharge control unit are 2 parts, one flyback balance discharge circuit, can achieve the balance of battery discharge. Equilibrium discharge is the integrated charge and discharge control equipment, an important feature. In the discharge process, due to individual differences in the battery, and if no measures are taken, the battery pack inside the battery of individual differences will become increasingly clear that this would reduce the efficiency of the battery pack, the service life reduced.
