I have a professional photographer friend who spent $25,000 for a digital camera back in the 90s. Now you can get great pro-sumer cameras for under $800. At CES, Sony debuted its $699 Alpha DSLR-A100. Like the Canon EOS Rebel XTi and the Nikon D40, this is a full featured camera with interchangeable lenses sold as a kit with a starter lens. The new Sony camera features a 10 megapixel sensor, the ability to take up to 3 frames per second and the support for ISOs ranging from 100 to 3,200. What that all adds up to is a camera that can perform well in a variety of lighting conditions. Also, like the competition, it has image stabilization which compensates for our shaky hands, especially when using a long zoom.
Casio introduced one of the most innovative cameras at show. It isnt an SLR, but the new Exilim Pro EX-F1 has a 12X optical zoom and what Casio says is the worlds fastest burst shooting performance.

Transcript from Goodell's news conference
"Good morning. Welcome to Arizona and Super Bowl XLII. I hope that all of you are enjoying the hospitality of this wonderful community. Before I take your questions - and I assume you have some questions - I'd like to make a few comments. First, thank you to all of you for your extraordinary interest and coverage of the NFL this season. We appreciate it. If numbers are any indication, by the number of credentials we have issued this week, it certainly is one of the games that has the most interest in our history. So, thank you for being here and thank you for your coverage over the season. "Also, let me thank the two teams - the New England Patriots and New York Giants. I congratulate them on a tremendous season. They have played terrific football and they have gotten here in two different ways, but nonetheless, both with records.

Foreign nationals dont have much access to international culture here, he adds. Of course the Opera House puts on a lot of shows, but most of them are in Arabic. They can appreciate Yehia Khalil, but not so much Mohamed Mounir.

McCain and Romney spar over Michigan economy
When Bill was governor of Arkansas, law enforcement officials, politicians, and military personal alike said Hillary was very demeaning, demanding, and hateful towards ALL men. Her attitude seems to be a spillover (towards all men) from her loathing of Bill and his philandering. Had she not needed him to (eventually) be viable for the Presidency, she would have dumped him years ago. She is a "willing victim" for the sake of her unbridled political ambition. >> Amy Rees, a stay-at-home mother in San Francisco who will vote in the California Democratic primary Feb. 5.
