We recently added the Kyocera FS-6970DN to the Road Mogul catalogue. In a nutshell it is a networked, duplex, cheap to run, fast and expandable A3 work group printer. How cheap is it to run? It’s very cheap using just 0.88 cents worth of toner to print a typical A4 page.
With 37ppm A4 and 17ppm A3 print speeds it is very fast. In terms of expandability you can add up to 4 X 250 sheet paper trays so it is perfect for demanding offices. You can read the full specs on the attached brochure.

If you have a dSLR and don’t have a prime (non zoom) lens in your kit you should get one. If you have a Canon Digital SLR you can pick up the Canon 50mm f1.8 for under $150. This plastic fantastic lens fells like a toy but takes amazing pics.
Don’t take my word for it check out Digital Photography School’s article.
Announced earlier this year two of the new Epson EB-8 projectors have been added to our catalogue: Epson EB-824 and Epson EB-825. With impressive lamp life (6000 hours), brightness (3000 lumen) and features, the Epson EB-8 projector series are ideal multimedia projectors for business or education use. They include Epson’s 3LCD technology for brilliant image quality and natural colours.
There is a built in microphone port and speaker but don’t even think about using it for karaoke as it will void your warranty (joke).
USB connectivity allows direct connection of the Epson DC-06 document camera (visualiser) or a PC. Both the video signal and page up/page down buttons are sent via a single USB cable so the presentation can be controlled via the projector’s remote. The DC-06 is a much more affordable alternative to previous visualisation technologies and ideal for classrooms or small offices.
The Epson-EB825 includes WiFi and Ethernet allowing control and output presentations over the network. Epson’s multi screen display mode allows multiple networked projectors to be stitched together to create a seamless large presentation.
With exceptional brightness, lamp life and features these new projects are great value for money. Check our catalogue for more details.

Photographyblog review the Canon PowerShot D10 and seem quite pleased with it. Oh and while on the topic of the Canon D10 Gizmodo have compared it to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1.
Cnet have 3 tips to extend your battery life. Although obvious they are all handy.
The Canon 500D (Canon T1i in the US) gets into a brawl with the Nikon D5000 at Engadget. We are not biased (cough) but it looks like the Canon was the winner and so do Gizmodo.
Physorg reports on a new tequnique that could one day yield “super-resolution” images with wider fileds of view. Not likely to find it’s way in cameras any time soon but worth a read (warning very geeky content).
