Traditionally we invest in insurance for things that are large purchases – we invest in home and car insurance, or insure specific costly items.

I’m not what you would call a digital SLR geek but I love my point & shoot cameras so I was curious about the FujiFilm Finepix F600EXR.  Why have all that weight to carry around when all you want is a decent picture with the least amount of fuss!

I’ve been “playing” with the latest Orbitsound device, the Orbitsound T12 V3 which is a long slim speaker system.

The hype was slowly building and it has been ramping up for several weeks now. But the wait is finally over, as I entered Earl’s Court to discover what new device Samsung was unveiling to the world. Samsung have done well to be very tightly lipped about what new device they have been working on, [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/hands-on-with-samsung-galaxy-s3/feed 3 http://girlygeekdom.com/events/lg-future-tv-event-a-unified-approach http://girlygeekdom.com/events/lg-future-tv-event-a-unified-approach#comments Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:22:48 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20254
I felt the stars were aligning when I discovered that my TV had a dead pixel. This is most unacceptable and of course it means I must now buy a new TV which was my plan all along.

Alienware have been busy and Girlygeekdom had the privilege of being invited to the European launch of their new magical box, the X51. Upon first look, it reminds me of the XBox 360 S console with the almost monolithic yet sleek lines. However, this does not mean the insides are meager.

First of all, I’m not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I do appreciate a fine camera when I see one. I used to have a Sony DSC-R1 for many years; in fact at every event or spectacle it rarely left my side. I felt that it was lacking somewhat in [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gadgets-entertainment/christmas-ideas-canon-7d-dslr-camera/feed 2
