If you can’t make it to your local Hooters to watch the big game, turn your living room into a theatre with the Casio Green Slim Projectors. During the Super Bowl this year, I was projecting the game in stunning 1080i High Definition Video onto a screen that measured 9 feet x 5 feet! Typically projecting an image that size you lose quality, however this was certainly NOT the case with the Casio XJ-A150 projector. The Casio Green Slim projector is so easy to set-up; my 13-year old daughter had it up and running to watch a Boston Bruins game while I was out running errands. One of the best features of the Green Slim projectors is the projector can run up to 20,000 hours without changing lamps with up to 3,000 lumens. What does that mean to you and I? It means a quality picture that your neighbors will be talking about for weeks! You can connect to your laptop for stunning presentations, or use the HDMI input to connect to most High Definition video devices. The sleek design which measures 11.69×8.26×1.69 (LxWxH) makes the Casio Green Slim Projector extremely portable. I can’t wait to get this projector outside on a nice summer night to entertain the neighborhood with a game or movie.

When it comes to Verizon Wireless phones, check out the Casio® Exilim. Im having a hard time figuring out if this is a fully functioning camera with a built-in phone, or a fully functioning phone with a built-in camera. The phone features built in VZ NavigatorSM and V Cast Music with Rhapsody. Most camera phones take low resolution photos that at best can be used as part of a picture message.

To help with my column, Destination New England, I reached out to my friends at Casio. The Casio Exilim EX-FC100 digital camera is a light weight, high speed 9.1 mega pixels compact camera. So you never miss the perfect shot, the Exilim can snap up to 30 frames in one second. This feature is perfect when you are trying to get that one shot. The camera actually starts recording prior to you hitting the shutter button. While most cameras are trying to focus, the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 is already taking pictures. Then you choose which frame is the best shot! Also the Casio Exilim has a CMOS Sensor which is typically found in higher end digital SLR cameras. The best feature is the size; I can slide this camera in a side pocket of my golf bag, and have it ready to go for that big shot or incredible New England scenery. Another nice feature is the 30 frames per second video recorder. You can record in standard or high definition video! Have a friend take a video of your swing on the tee, fairway or anywhere on the course so you can analyze it after a round. To see the entire Exilim line from Casio, please visit exilim.casio.com.
I was at my nephews last football game taking videos. The cool thing was I was using a digital camera, the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 is far more than a digital camera. How many times have you taken a picture and had to retake the picture because someone blinked, moved or did something else that just ruined that one picture? The Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 has a burst mode that takes up to 60 frames per second. So as you are getting ready to snap the picture, the EX-F1 is already recording the frames surrounding the shot. So when reviewing your picture, just scroll back a few frames and there is the picture with everyones eyes wide open. In addition to the burst feature, the Casio EX-F1 can take High Definition Video. You chose between standard 6-megapixel digital photos or recording HD video. There is no need to carry around a camcorder and digital camera any longer. The Casio EX-F1 gives you everything you need in one compact camera. Just a warning if you are going to use the 12x zoom, you may want to make sure you have a tripod. Although the Casion EX-F1 has some image stabilization, it is very difficult to keep a steady hand at 12x zoom. The HD video looked awesome and together with the Pinnacle Studio Pro editing software I was able to make a great DVD that stood up to my 60 inch HDTV.
