Tech Review of the Fuji X10 Camera
I recently had the opportunity to review the Fuji x10 Camera.
I was impressed by it’s specifications:
The X10 has a 12 megapixel EXR CMOS sensor, f/2-2.8, 28-112mm manual zoom lens, up to 12,800 ISO sensitivity, 1080p video, an optical viewfinder, and pop-up flash as well as a hotshoe for an external flash unit as well.
It felt good in the hands and was solidly manufactured. I especially liked that it had a view finder and a hot shoe too.
I found that it took excellent photo’s and videos in a variety of Situations.
Please see my brief hands on summary video as well–>
Building on the tremendous success of the sophisticated FUJIFILM X100 digital camera, the new premium compact FUJIFILM X10 is the latest addition to the growing FUJIFILM X-series of advanced digital cameras.
The FUJIFILM X10 features a new larger 2/3″ 12 megapixel EXR CMOS sensor and a bright high-definition FUJINON1 F2.0 wide-angle to F2.8 telephoto 4x manual zoom lens (28-112mm)2 that produces superb image quality from edge to edge. The FUJIFILM X10 has a beautiful blackout and retro design that includes a traditional optical viewfinder with a wide 20° field of view for exceptional image composition.
Personally I really liked the camera, it’s design. and was impressed with it overall.

For Immediate Release:
SAN FRANCISCO – May 30, 2013 – Razer™, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, today unveiled Razer Blade, the world’s thinnest gaming laptop. The Razer Blade, measuring in at just 0.66-inches thin, packs more power-per-cubic-inch than any other laptop in the world. The Razer Blade is powered with a future 4th gen Intel® Core™ processor, the latest NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M GPU and utilizes solid-state storage technology with boot speeds of up to four-times faster than a traditional 5400-RPM notebook hard drive. The Razer Blade has a rigid all-aluminum chassis, with a stunning 14-inch LED-backlit HD+ display and features a custom-designed trackpad and backlit gaming grade keyboard.
“We’ve designed and built the thinnest, most powerful 14-inch laptop in the world,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. “Thinner than a dime and more powerful than other traditional desktop replacements today, we’ve created an entirely new category of thin and powerful laptops that is generations ahead of other PCs.”

For Immediate Release:
SAN FRANCISCO – May 30, 2013 – Razer™, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, today announced the Blade Pro, the latest evolution of its award-winning 17-inch gaming laptop. Powered by a future 4th gen Intel® Core™ processor, next generation NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M graphics and groundbreaking storage performance, the new Blade Pro is faster and more powerful than ever before.

Every detail is sleek, slim and light, all the way down to the compact power supply, making the Blade Pro the best choice for gaming performance and creative work on-the-go.
The Blade Pro, the third iteration of Razer’s ground-breaking, ultra-portable laptop, features a 47-watt Intel chip, 10 watts more than the last 17-inch Razer Blade and the most powerful CPU ever fitted into a Razer system for increased professional performance. The latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M GPU is also included. All of this is packed into the thinnest and lightest form factor in the 17-inch laptop class.

At the heart of the Blade Pro is a full-HD 17-inch LED display linked in combination with the Switchblade User Interface (SBUI), allowing users to take advantage of tools and creative possibilities at their fingertips. Driven by 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys, a revolutionary LCD track pad and professional-grade and game apps, users can work harder and play harder. Razer’s SBUI now includes several new, professional-grade apps and a wide array of new tools available at no charge, including programs like Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe Premiere® Pro, Maya®, GIMP and more.

For Immediate Release:
IK Multimedia Releases AmpliTube 3.0 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
The complete mobile guitar studio adds timeline audio editing and new models
May 30, 2013 – IK Multimedia, the leader in mobile music-creation apps and accessories, is proud to announce the new version of the highly acclaimed AmpliTube® App, which now adds a complete multi-track Studio with timeline audio editing and new gear models, making it the most comprehensive guitar and audio production app available. Now users can play, practice, compose and record complete songs from start to finish, anywhere inspiration strikes, on theiriPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
The new release of AmpliTube completely changes the game for mobile music production and offers everything musicians need to quickly and easily record complete songs: a full guitar/bass rig; a multi-track recorder with effects; a new timeline audio editing suite for arranging, editing, mixing and mastering; a built-in programmable drummer; professional export features for sharing creations with the world; and the possibility to work simultaneously with other audio apps.
When used with the IK Multimedia iRig® line of guitar interfaces (like the new high-quality iRig HD, iRig STOMP or the iRig adapter), microphone products (like iRig Mic or iRig PRE) AmpliTube 3.0 provides an all-in-one solution with unmatched sound quality, guitar tone, recording flexibility and ease of use for the professional mobile musician.
The New AmpliTube Studio— Timeline Audio Editing Suite
The newest feature in AmpliTube 3.0 is the Studio, where users will see their audio tracks on a timeline with a waveform display, much like they are used to on their DAW (digital audio workstation) software on their computer. Audio regions can be manipulated with a full set of commands and controls: cut, copy, paste, delete, normalize, split (at playhead), create fades and crop clips.
Clips can easily be moved and adjusted with a simple gesture for precise alignment with other clips, and a grid feature provides “snapping” of regions to the timeline for easy positioning. Recording into a track is as simple as touching it, arming it and hitting record. AmpliTube Studio makes recording, arranging, editing and perfecting a complete song from start to finish a breeze, and once again revolutionizes the way musicians create on the go.
The new Studio is an extension of the AmpliTube recorder,which starts as a single-track recorder, and can be expanded to 4-track (iPhone/iPod touch) or 8-track (iPad) putting a full multi-track recorder with mastering effects the fingertips of the user. The multi-track recorder has features rivaling even the most sophisticated studio setups, like effects send and master multi-effects, which can add that professional feel to any recording. The recorder with the new Studio section is designed to allow players to quickly and easily get their musical ideas recorded, polished and ready for prime time.
A Complete Guitar Rig with New Gear
At its core, AmpliTube continues to be all about outstanding guitar and bass tone, and offers a full guitar/bass rig including tuner; selectable stomp box effects; amplifiers from the world’s top amp manufacturers like Fender®, Ampeg®, and Soldano®; collections from artists like Jimi Hendrix™, Slash and others; plus selectable speaker cabinets and microphones.
Exclusively for iRig HD users, AmpliTube 3.0 now also offers four new free gear models that address the tone needs of the most demanding metal and rock players — the Metal 150 and Metal W amps, and the X-Flanger and Wharmonator “Whammy” pedals. Never before has such a massive and comprehensive collection of tone machines been offered to mobile guitarists, right at their fingertips.
A Drummer Always in the Pocket
With AmpliTube’s built-in Loop Drummer, players will always have a professional drummer with them. Loop Drummer features complete groove “building blocks,” including intros, fills, main and alternate rhythms, and outros. It’s extremely flexible and easy to use, and covers virtually every style of music. Start with the free Rock style installed, and add more genre packs via in-app purchase, covering most musical styles, including Metal, Funky, Blues, and many others.
The Perfect Rehearsal Tool
AmpliTube also features a robust Song section that allows you to load pre-recorded material into it, change the tempo and/or pitch if desired, and practice along. This is a great tool for learning new material, or simply creating new riffs over existing material by using the “No Voice” center-cancel button that mutes audio panned to the center of the stereo field.
Supports Other Favorite Mobile Music Apps
AmpliTube is also Audiobus compatible, which means that it can be used simultaneously with up to 4 other compatible audio apps. Players can use other IK apps like SampleTank®, iLectric™ Piano or iGrand™ Piano; record material directly into the AmpliTube recorder or studio section; or use the AmpliTube signal chain as a tone generator, effects processor or recorder for other apps like GarageBand.
Price and Availability
AmpliTube 3.0 is a free update for all previous users and it’s available now on the App Store both as a free or paid app for iPhone/iPod touch or iPad for only $19.99 for new users. The new Studio feature is available as in-app purchase for $9.99 on iPhone and iPod touch and $14.99 on iPad for users who have already purchased the multi-track recorder, or at a special bundle price that includes also the multi-track recorder for new users.
The four new gear models are exclusively available to iRig HD interface users, through simply connecting the interface to the app.

My family and I saw the Screening for–>After Earth Official Trailer #1 (2013) – Will Smith Movie HD
Yesterday my family, 3 autistic kids, wife and I went and saw the screening for Will Smith’s After Earth Official. I love science fiction and have always liked Will Smith in his movies such as Men In Black 1, 2 and 3. I think that his best is Independence day.
This movie was more about his son being the featured performer, Jaden Smith. I think that he did a great job with the movie.
I would definitely recommend going to see the movie. It was a bit scarey for one of my autistic kids, but the other 2 liked it. I would not take kids under 12 either.
The movie was also a collaboration with M. Night Shyamalan, who is quite talented in his genre or movie making.
Here is the official trailer for the movie–>

Caterpillar Enters the Fray with a New Rugged, Waterproof Android Phone!
While at CTIA 2013 I had the opportunity to attend a media event where I ran into the folks with Bullitt Mobile who via a partnership with Cat, the heavy Equipment people just recently announced an exciting new rugged Android phone called the B15.
According to all things Digital:
http://allthingsd.com/20130520/caterpillar-aims-to-make-splash-with-rugged-waterproof-android-phone/
Caterpillar is best known for making heavy equipment, but the machinery brand thinks it can add something to the phone business.
Cat has partnered with Bullitt Mobile, a British electronics firm that builds products using well-known brands to develop a rugged, waterproof Android phone.
The easiest way to make phones rugged is to just wrap them in a ton of rubber. But that also makes them big and bulky — something Floyd said his group was looking to avoid.
“It’s got to be a great phone — something that everybody would feel comfortable carrying,” said Dave Floyd, director of technology for Bullitt.
The result of their work is the Cat B15, a phone that is debuting at the CTIA trade show in Las Vegas and will sell for $349 without subsidies. The device packs a 4-inch screen, a dual-core MediaTek processor and the Jelly Bean version of Android into a device capable of surviving a 6 foot drop onto concrete and withstanding up to 30 minutes in 3 feet of water.
Its screen is also designed to work with a wet finger — something that trips up most smartphones. And all that in a phone that weighs just under six ounces.
Bullitt isn’t talking carriers yet, but it’s a GSM phone with support for HSPA+ networks, so either AT&T or T-Mobile USA would be a good fit.
Tech Reviews:IK Multimedia announces iKlip 2 and iKlip Studio for iPad mini now available

iKlip 2 applications are countless, and range from holding iPads for musicians on stage to teleprompter-style presentations on boardroom podiums; from securing the iPad anywhere for video and camera applications to mounting it as a multimedia display; from keeping the iPad on hand for order taking or form entry to using it in health care environments, as well as a multitude of other uses.
Tech News!!–>A New Competitor to Webex and Goto Meeting, They are Startmeeting.com.
While at Interop 2013 in Las Vegas I had the opportunity to meet Adam Jacobs from a new web meeting company, startmeeting dot com, a competitor to Webex and Go To meeting. It is good to have competition especially if the news guys offer a better value. Your tech reviewer David Berkowitz from technewszone!! We are also autism advocates as well, I am an aspie father of 3 with autism as well.
I was impressed by their product and technology, and are definitely a solid alternative to the big guys.
Fuji X Series X10: Our Preliminary Review Phase 1
After receiving the box from Fuji, the first things that I noticed were the nice box and the fine design of the camera.
Here is a link to Fuji’s website to get more information on the camera as well–>
http://www.fujifilmusa.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x10/specifications/
- Fuji X10 Box/packkaging
and the contents are quite inclusive of most things that would be needed to begin using the camera.
Once I had the camera out of the box I was quite impressed by its’ feel in the hand, as well as its inherent quality and how nicely it is designed.
quasl
I found that the Fujifilm X10 appears to be designed with the enthusiast or pro-sumer or even a professional; the type of user who prefers the solid feel of a magnesium alloy body and its feel in the hand as it is being used. It has the controls normally found on an SLR, rather than a point and shoot camera. It would make a great back up camera for a professional where they do not want to lug a large slr around with them. It would also be a great primary camera for many less experienced or advanced consumers too.
- Fuji X10 front view
The LCD controls are easy to use, and easy to read even at the age of 44 I can read them and use them clearly. I like the real viewfinder that the camera has as well. Sometimes the photo is best shot through the viewfinder rather than trying to use the screen all of the time.
I like the built in flash, and the metal lens cap as well as the lens and its’ design. The camera reminds me of the Nikon P7200 series as well as the Canon G15 camera. It also would be a great alternative to the mirror less and 4/3’s cameras available on the market as well.
The only feature that I would like to have seen on the camera that was not present is a power switch, the camera is powered on by turning the camera lens to the on position which is unique and quite nice once I was use to it.
Here are a couple of preliminary images that I shot with the camera.
- Fuji X10 close up of soda can
- zoom shot, not flash to test the fuji x10.
So Far I am impressed by the Fuji 10 Camera. I will post a follow up review of the camera once I have used it a bit more, as well as some outdoor/landscape samples, close ups and video samples taken with the camera and some long term opinions as well. I will also be using it at a trade show tomorrow and will report on its usability for that purpose as well. I will also show some of the videos taken with it as well.
