  • Inside Wall Street's Jurassic Park
    NEW DSLR CAMERA FROM PENTAX Pentax continues its focus on compact, affordable DSLR cameras with its new K-x, which sells for US$650 with a lens kit. The K-x is the cheapest DSLR on the market that can capture HD video as well as offer Live View. In fact, its entry-level competitors, the Canon Rebel T1i and the Nikon D5000, are priced at least US$150 higher. The K-x is simply designed and feels solid in your hands, yet weighs only 567g (with battery). It employs a 12.4- megapixel CMOS image sensor (with built-in stabilization). Although it is intended to be a starter DSLR, the K-x offers plenty of expandability, thanks to its compatibility with Pentax’s entire lineup of 26 lenses. In a nod to the success of the sell-out white K-7, which Pentax says was particularly popular with women, the K- x will be available in a choice of white or black, as well as limited-edition red or navy. The black and white versions will be available next month; the blue and red models will hit the stores a month later. — RIK FAIRLIE, NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE 14 書香人生 B O O K S & R E V I E W S SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2009 • TAIPEI TIMES Hardcover: UK CD Reviews: Taiwan ublished with a subsidy from the Government Information Office, Apple and Orange (橘子與蘋果) is the Inside Wall Street’s Pdebut album from the indie duo Nature Morte (靜物樂團), which was formed in 2007.
