...four models with 20GB and 30GB drives, I tested the mid-level 30GB GX-MG30. It has a 25X optical zoom lens, but only 680,000-pixel CCD for capturing video and still images. Video quality wasn't bad, but at times, especially in indoors in low light, I noticed far too much video noise-the dots that swirl like gnats inside solid colors. In addition to the MG30 and the 20GB MG20, there are the MG40 and MG50, which sport larger imaging sensors (1.33 megapixels) and are therefore set up to deliver better video quality. The MG40 and MG50...

Drag pictures and movies into the LifeDrive Manager software, and it converts them to compatible formats, optimized to look good on the 320x480-pixel color screen. You can also load your MP3s using Windows Media Player or RealNetworks' Rhapsody software. We filled a test unit with 350 songs, more than 400 pictures and the entire feature film Garden State, and we still had more than 1 GB of space left. --By Wilson Rothman
Lieber speculated that in the future, these developments could lead to high performance electronics with completely integrated displays, which combine pixel elements and driver electronics...
Once the color and intensity of each point of light have been calculated, those data are converted directly into the pixels, or picture elements, that make up the images on the computer's screen. Each pixel is either red, green or blue. When viewed from a distance, however, they coalesce like the dots in a pointillist painting. Says Lucasfilm's Cook: "It's like mixing paint. If you stand back, they all blend together...
...best results, set picture quality to fine and resolution to the highest pixel count. Tell subjects to keep still, and hold your hand steady even after you press the capture button. There's usually a slight delay before the image registers on the device, so any movement could blur the shot...
