SAN DIEGO, Sept. 6 -- Sony is expanding its Alpha digital SLR system with the introduction of the DSLR-A700 camera, which is aimed at photo enthusiasts or serious photo hobbyists.
The new model features advanced imaging technologies and ultra-responsive operation, as well as a lightweight, dust- and moisture-resistant, magnesium alloy construction common to enthusiast-class D-SLR cameras.
Like Sony's mainstream DSLR-A100 model, the new A700 unit incorporates Super SteadyShot(R) Inside image stabilization in the camera body and is compatible with most Minolta Maxxum(R) mount lenses in addition to Sony lenses.
The camera's new 12.2-megapixel Exmor(TM) CMOS sensor conducts analog-to-digital (A/D) signal conversion and dual noise reduction right on the sensor itself. Clean, noise-free digital signals are then sent to the newly developed BIONZ(TM) processing engine. The results are high-resolution, detailed images with rich tonal reproduction. |GlobalGiants.com|

The Scholar Ship, the first oceangoing study-abroad program developed specifically for an international student body, started its maiden voyage from Athens, Greece yesterday. More than 200 undergraduate and postgraduate students from 35 countries will travel to four continents over 16 weeks.
The Scholar Ship, backed by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., and supported by seven international universities, will immerse students and faculty in an intercultural living and learning environment aboard a 201-meter ocean liner specially equipped for the academic program.
Students and staff are embarking on The Scholar Ship in Piraeus, Athens on a westward course to Lisbon, Portugal; Panama City, Panama; Guayaquil, Ecuador; Papeete, Tahiti; Auckland, New Zealand; Sydney, Australia; and Shanghai, Macau and Hong Kong in China. Ports of call provide extensive educational opportunities for students through a port program in which students participate in academic field study, community service and independent travel.
Seven international universities collaborated in the curricula development for The Scholar Ship, including the University of California, Berkeley and Macquarie University in Sydney, which has been designated to award academic credit to students. Other participating "Academic Stewards" include Fudan University, China; Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico; Cardiff University, United Kingdom; Al Akhawayn University, Morocco; and the University of Ghana.
Multinational corporations such as IBM, Microsoft and HSBC Bank also have been engaged to ensure that the program's learning outcomes are relevant and practical for students. The Scholar Ship's introduction reflects the increased interest in enriching study abroad programs worldwide. |GlobalGiants.com|
