Apple isn't lying in television ads that tout the iPhone 3G as twice as fast as its predecessor, but customers would have to be fools to take those claims at face value, the company argues.

"Canon added much more to the Canon EOS 50D than just another 5MP. Improvements over the EOS 40D include: A 15.1 MP CMOS sensor with a "gapless microlens" design for higher efficiency, a 920,000 dot, 3" 640x480 pixel VGA resolution LCD with enhanced anti-reflection coating, a microfocus adjustment which can be applied on a fixed or lens by lens basis, an ISO range from 100-3200, plus expansion to 6400(H1) and 12800(H2)..."

In the 50D, not only were enhancements made, Canon also added new features not seen before on their mid-level digital SLRs. The best enhancement to the 50D is the upgraded 640x480 920,000 pixel screen on the back of the camera. As a current owner of Canon's predecessor, the 40D, its 320x240 screen is the one flaw I found on the otherwise excellent camera it as it is hard to judge your photos. The best new features are the micro focus adjustment and the two higher ISO settings. The only drawback is that Canon once again pushed the number of megapixels to the maximum. In doing so, the 50D photos show noise that is equal to or slightly higher than the 40D. For this reason, I think the 50D is a minor upgrade for a 40D owner, but a significant upgrade for owners of earlier versions of Canon DSLRs.

This would mean you are able to save games and download content the moment you get the Xbox 360 Arcade up and running in your home, although if you plan on traveling with your precious console, you will still need to purchase a Memory Unit. Any other goodies for us this Christmas, Microsoft? Congratulations on your console outselling the Sony PS3 three-to-one during the recent Black Friday period./p pPermalink: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/12/xbox_360_arcade_bundles_get_256mb_internal_storage.html"Xbox 360 Arcade Bundles Get 256MB Internal Storage/a from Ubergizmo (a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com"US/a, a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/fr"FR/a) | a href="http://www.uberbargain.com/"Good deals/a | Hot: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/blackberry_storm_review.html"Storm Review/a/p pmap name="google_ad_map_081202185725" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/081202185725?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_081202185725" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-7335032025195922amp;channel=9684588219amp;output=pngamp;cuid=081202185725amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F15%2Farchives%2F2008%2F12%2Fxbox_360_arcade_bundles_get_256mb_internal_storage.html"//p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/aCM4Nwcwhz_b9CkIrtU9hQrI2bo/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/aCM4Nwcwhz_b9CkIrtU9hQrI2bo/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=8TEBY6tN"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=QaUuut2M"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=QaUuut2M" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=l1stAESG"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=G1FhKTjd"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=G1FhKTjd" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=TNZOLRck"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=TNZOLRck" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ubergizmo/~4/wDa4j2DZYq8" height="1" width="1"/
