Big-screen star
Article Abstract:
Video cameras are available with a wide range of features and some of these are more useful than others. Sharp Viewcam cameras offer a color screen which is easier to use than a regular viewfinder. The VX line from Panasonic and cameras from Sony offer LCD screens, and playback screens allow users to check the material they have shot to see how interesting it is. Cameras may also offer digital zooms, but their usage can involve a loss of picture quality.

Attention, shoppers
Article Abstract:
Discount appliance and electronics shopping is booming in Japan. For example, the competition between Kojima and Yamada Denki, two discount chains, has resulted in prices 10% lower in one city north of Tokyo than available in Tokyo. However, bargain hunters must be prepared to line up outside stores under the watchful eyes of security guards hours, even days, ahead of time for a chance at bargains such as 1-yen TVs and 9-yen portable stereos.
