Excellent points. Glad you could confirm that the Fuji AV-100 too uses AA batteries. The Nikon’s video recording is limited to 640×480 only.
The ‘smudged’ factor in images shot by Nikon is really disconcerting. I suspect a lot has to do with the small sensor and excessive JPEG compression applied on the image.

I have a Canon SX20 and it too suffers from very smudged images. Asking Canon did not help since they do have a firmware update that applies less JPEG compression in return for bigger file sizes. In fact, Canon did not post my review on their own website (talk about neutrality).

Thanks for the image links, should help visitors on my blog to make their decision.

I will whole-heartedly recommend Mitsu.in for domain registration. While Mitsu also provides web hosting and email hosting, I would recommend that you go for ‘Deluxe Hosting’ at GoDaddy for web-hosting and use Google Accounts for emails.

GoDaddy Deluxe Hosting allows hosting of unlimited websites. You can get a good deal on the hosting price by using GoDaddy Discount Coupons (look for an article on this on this site).

Google Apps allows you to create 50 Email IDs of 7 GB each for domains that you own. You can also consider Microsoft Live to create email IDs for your domains.

Can anyone tell me which is the best hosting company in India.
I just want to register a domain & host a simple website & with 4 to 5 business email ids. Thanks — Vikram

1.) Just to make some observations, the Fuji AV100 also uses AA and not proprietary batteries:

2.) The Fuji AV100 also can record video at HD level (1280×720), the Nikon L21 only (640×480). I think this is a big issue since more people are using their cameras to record video (during trips/theme park rides), since it’s not so bulky as a regular camcorder.

3.) I would have liked to see more foliage wide angle shot comparisons, especially with trees in the background of both cameras. Traditionally Nikon point and shoots are notorious for over noise processing, especially “greens” which result in the leaves/leave textures looking “smudged”.

Here is shot that shows the texture of the fuji av100 when the lens is
low aperture:

The Fuji AV100 takes pretty good pics.

Connecting the CTK-5000 to Windows 7 is identical to the process in Windows XP. Just connect the device and switch it on.
To play files from your SD Card on the keyboard, you need to download the SMF convertor from Casio’s website.

All I have managed thus far is getting a CRN ID which isn’t of any use as I need to be net4india customer to login via it.

Since I don’t have any brand value attached to my domain, I’m gonna register a new one with GoDaddy. I hope they are better than these *****
