A Taiwan-based digital camera company OEM Altek would be launching the first ever 8-megapixel consumer digital camera with integrated GPS and mechanical geotagging by this June. Truly, it doesn’t claim to be the first device to coalesce GPS and digital camera features as there are devices that have built-in digital camera or high-end cameras with incorporated GPS features. Standing away from those, it takes pride in being the world’s first pocket-sized compact camera with incorporated GPS utility.
Featuring 3-inch touch screen, the photos captured via this camera are customarily geo tagged and then depict its positioning on Google Earth, Google Maps or Flickr’s geotagged photos service. It is a great tool in the hands of travel freaks as they can tap the places from where pictures are taken via this camera and form a travel journal that’s based on map. Its entry would be an alarm to other camera developers to deliver high-quality consumer cameras will incorporated built-in GPS.
P.S.: Altek is an OEM, therefore camera would be sold off under another brand that is not disclosed.

Someone has rightly said the identity of the successful person gets recognized when he is asked for autograph rather than signature. In Blogosphere, the dialysis occurs when a blog gets mature from a label of a baby blog to the pedestal of a majestic presence. Right on the heels of my expectations, I have managed to crack 500 posts (on EliteChoice) within less than a year (with first post on 9 January).
Ideally I should feature myself with a goblet of champagne but I take the opportunity to introduce my internal spirit to you. This two-legged beast is my mirror image who knows the right direction and cherish past with a present energy and looks forward to ink bigger deals in life (in terms of value as size doesn’t make a difference).
Besides my journalistic profession, I was committed to my bloggers’ desk throughout this year and never intended to beat big sharks like Luxist, LuxuryLaunches, UberGizmo, ShinyShiny, Bornrich, UberReview, Blavish and others but am glad that I earned the deserving recognition from them. Also, a three-month-young network with Elite Fashion Blog Bazaar Community is quite satisfying.
It was an exciting journey to chronicle the world of elite products and break the news on the board, respecting the prerequisite of a journalist and curiosity of my faithful readers. Gluing to my very first post that outlined the purpose of my blog, I am happy to set various laurels in that direction and am geared up to offer an unbeatable common-sense perspective on important topics/ products and events of the day.
I am glad to share with you that the onset of 2008 would mark our first anniversary with a lot more unique features on the cards. And yah from today I am all set to offer next 500 posts coming thick and fast.
This Time Three Cheers To Me And My Love:)

Imagine Guinness Book of World Records creating two new categories for the feat, the world’s largest photograph and the world’s largest camera. Yes folks, this has lately happened and the credit for this goes to a three-story-tall image featured from an old California airplane hangar using a special camera.
Measuring more than 44 feet (13 meters/ three stories) tall and 161 feet (49 meters/ 11 stories) long, the hangar-turned-camera is the world’s largest camera, according to the Legacy Project that created this artwork.
The mission of the project was to capture a memorial image of the nearly 5,000-acre (2,023-hectare) Marine Corps Station El Toro, a decommissioned military base. Developers plan to build a 375-acre park, museum district, sports complex and countless homes here, which were decommissioned in 1999 after more than a half-century of use. The photo depicts the control towers, palm trees and a portable toilet.
The massive photograph will be displayed on 6 September at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and will remain there to catching eyeballs till 29 September. Mind you capturing this single image was a humongous task as almost six artists used a minute peephole in the hangar doors to project light from the outside onto a casing of light-sensitive fabric lynching inside the dim facility.
Few details about the canvas used:
A white fabric measuring 31 (0.9 meter) X 111 foot (34-meter) used 20 gallons (75 liters) of light-sensitive emulsion as the photographic negative. I am sure you would be aghast to hear that the bulky fabric imported from Germany, weighed 1,200 pounds (544 kilograms).
After divulging the material for up to 10 days, it was converted into a the size of an Olympic swimming pool, using 600 gallons (2,271 liters) of back-and-white developer solution and 1,200 gallons (4,542 liters) of fixer.
