Giz Commenter Appreciation: Borrow Zeiss Cinemizer iPod Video Goggles for 2 Weeks

Hey, Giz Commenters, I've got something for you. You know those Zeiss Goggles I reviewed a week back? Zeiss is letting the readers do a two week loan of them, shipping covered. All you've got to do is leave a comment in this post with an existing account, and then fill out this form with a link to your comment. The catch? You just have to fill out an 8 page feedback form. Not a bad deal since most of you write 8 pages worth of comments a week. UPDATE: You'll need to register a credit card, naturally, before anyone is going to send you $400 in gear. Don't be a whiner!

Battlemodo of Highest Res Video Goggles: Zeiss Cinemizer vs. Myvu Crystal

Despite the stigma, I've always wanted a pair of video goggles. I never did mind the nerd factor accompanying any piece of gear, at least not after admiring sci fi heroes like Cyclops of the X-men and Geordi from ST:TNG. But they've never been cheap or high-res enough until now. The Zeiss Cinemizer ($400) and the Myvu Crystal ($300) both do 640x480 resolution, which is best in class. And so today I'll try to figure out which one is better headset. During it all, I will suspend all disbelief when it comes to the practicality of wearing a second screen for your video iPod on your face. I mean, what are you really saving here but neck cramps?

Logitech Debuts QuickCam Pro Line with Carl Zeiss Lenses

Today Logitech is showing off two new 2-megapixel $100 QuickCam Pro models, one for desktops (that is, made to sit atop a desktop LCD) and another one for laptops. The big news is that they are the only webcams equipped with the Carl Zeiss lenses that made the Sony Cyber-shot line so popular. Also in addition to echo-cancellation, there is also true noise suppression in the microphone for better Skyping. The autofocus is super fast, for better use of hand props and wild gesticulation. And of course they come with Logitech's legendary Video Effects and Fun Filters, like the king's crown and the sweet 1920s movie filter, for instant YouTube stardom. (No R2D2 hologram effect... yet.)

Zeiss Lens: It's a Giant, 1700mm and 564 Pounds

We've seen some big lenses before, but this Zeiss Apo Sonnar T* 1700mm F4 lens is so big you can't even carry it around in a wheelbarrow. In fact, it weighs 564 pounds, so you'd better have a team of weightlifters to help you point the thing. More »

Leaked Photos of Nokia N73

If the posters over on the Mobile-Review.com forums are correct, the blurry photo to the left is one of the first few leaked images of the upcoming Nokia N73 smartphone. It should run Symbian v9.1 and Series 60 3rd Edition like the rest of the new N series. QVGA Screen 2.4" true color screen, Bluetooth 2.0, 3G/UMTS, all the trimings we've come to expect and love.
