You can create panoramic pictures out of up to five individual photos using a built-in merge function, and there is a macro mode for close-ups.
Amateur photographers may not need 10-megapixel images, but these high-resolution snaps scale quite easily into poster-size prints and other photographic indulgences.
SOME MUSIC FOR THE ASPIRING BLUE MAN GROUP OF ONE
The Blue Man Group, a musical melange of more than 60 performers known for their odd stage manner, interesting and unique gear and glossy blue visages, is offering two musical toys.
The Blue Man Group Instruments are a mixture of high and low tech. The Keyboard Experience, for example, has a set of six percussion tubes, a 37-key keyboard and a dock for an MP3 player. The keyboard has six sound modes including guitar, piano and Blue Man drums (which sound like a cross between a twanging rubber band and a taiko drum). The keyboard can also record and store musical creations.
The Percussion Tubes toy has eight motion-sensitive tubes. Tapping the tubes or waving a hand or other object over the opening produces a variety of sounds, like synthesized steel drum and marimba.
You can see the toys in action at www.bluemangroupinstruments.com. Batteries and blue face paint are not included.
