We are totally amazed, not just by the blast of colors that is visible here, but also by the imaginative presumption that someone counted eight million flower petals. Nevertheless, this tiny Costa Rican village did get showered with millions of flower petals.
Sony’s new QX series Lens Style Cameras are brilliant. A good chunk of photographs come from the very capable smartphones almost everyone carries these days. In the same vein, cameras too have evolved into digital settings and many of their components overlap with those available in smartphones. Sony is putting the two in a union with the Lens Style Cameras. The QX Series are comparatively small cameras, almost smaller than several lenses available. But each of these is a full fledged camera with its own lens, sensors, processor, microSD storage, and the wifi capability that makes it all possible.
Sony has added brand new cameras to its ‘α’ line of mirrorless cameras, the latest being the Alpha 3000 (or the A3000) and the NEX-5T. The entry level cameras come with a group of features that Sony hopes will be enough to interest buyers towards the new gear.
Sony’s rather creatively named SmartWatch 2 is, well, a smart watch that happens to be the new kid on the block for the growing smart watch market. Rather than being an exclusive standalone device, the SmartWatch 2 works in conjunction with your Android powered smartphone or tablet. It allows you to read messages and mails, capture photos, control music, check maps and have access to a few more apps.

Pico projectors aren’t really the best buddies of crisp images, but they do tend to sit cosy with other gadgets. For Sony’s new Handycam HDR-PJ50, they’ve thrown in a pico projector to go along the 220GB HDD, 29.8 mm wide angle lens, 7.1 M still picture, powerful stereo speakers, and 1920×1080 HD video recording. The projector can throw an image up to 60-inches in size on virtually any flat surface. Priced at $1,201.95.

Sony Ericsson’s LiveView makes those iPod watches look kind of old. The tiny gadget works in tandem with your Android phone, and allows you to use basic functions of the phone. It has a 1.3-inch touch-sensitive OLED screen with 128×128 resolution, has dimensions of 35x35x11 mm, and weighs just 35 grams. Compatible with all Android 2.0+ devices, LiveView can be customized using apps, and includes a clip and wrist strap to make it easier to carry around. It basically has a lot going for it, except the name, we guess Sony Ericsson could have done better in that department.
