Sony's Alpha A37 and NEX-F3 pose for the camera, reveal more angles, details

Sony's Alpha A37 and NEX-F3 pose for the camera, reveal more angles, details

Well, well, talk about déjà vu! It was just yesterday that a corner of Sony's 16.1 megapixel NEX-F3 leaked onto the interwebs and now more photos have surfaced, along with a previously unannounced shooter, the Alpha A37 SLT. The pictures come courtesy of Yang Canggih, which says it had chance to demo the two devices yesterday at Sony's Partner's Conference in Jakarta (Curiously, the NEX-F3 post isn't live as of this writing, but Sony Alpha Rumors has the images up.) Starting with the F3, the mirrorless camera has last some of the curves found on its older sibling, the C3, adopting the angular edges that once made the NEX-7 the badass standout in the lineup. You'll notice that the shutter button and grip have an uncanny resemblance to the 7's, not to mention that it's clearly gained a pop-up flash -- a first for the lower-end NEXs. Past that, the rumored -- and self-portrait friendly -- 180 degree tilt-screen is also present, which'll likely give the C3 an edge over its siblings when it comes to composing shots. Also worth note, some of the buttons on back have been slightly repositioned.

Moving along, those hoping for a successor to the A35 will apparently have their wish granted with the 16.1 megapixel A37, which is essentially an evolutionary update. According to Yang Canggih, it sports the articulating display from last generation of NEX cams, Auto Portrait Framing (first introduced with the A57), four more effect modes (up from 11) and an ergonomic grip in the vein of the A77. Sadly, that's about all that's currently known, so hopefully we'll get an official introduction to the cameras soon. Head past the break for a shot of the A37 and then check out the links below for even more of both.

Scuba Certification Tips | The Dream Life

Posted by kristoffer on April 20th, 2012

Scuba diving is one training-intensive hobby. Having a scuba certification card from a reputable scuba association assures the people manning different dive shops that you have been trained to dive safely and responsibly. Dive shops will require you to present your scuba certification card before arranging a chartered diving expedition. It is not just because they are concerned for your safety, but because inexperienced novices could ruin the diving experience for everyone.

Certification is also required when renting any equipment from dive shops, as they can be damaged if not used or handled properly. Proof of your training includes returning them in good condition.

Scuba enthusiasts always say that getting certified is harder than getting a library card, but easier than getting a driver?s license. It is not easy, and most certainly not free. You are required to prove that you have the know-how about using the equipment, handling yourself underwater, and knowing how to react in various underwater situations.

There are many scuba certification programs today, the most popular of which are PADI and NAUI. The former is considered the ?lighter? program, making it ideal for tourists who only want to take a few supervised dives; while the latter is more involved and ideal for a beginning wanting to take up scuba as a recreational sport. After completing the beginner level, both programs offer advanced-level training.

Colton: Gaga's 'Bad Romance' a 'bad risk' on 'Idol'

Michael Becker / FOX

Colton performed Lifehouse again as his farewell song on Thursday.

By Anna Chan

"American Idol's" latest eliminated contestant, Colton Dixon, has never shied away from being himself. Sometimes that involved putting on a flashier show, offering up his favorite worship song on the singing competition and sharing his strong religious beliefs on Twitter. And it had paid off with plenty of praise from the judges and votes from his fans.

But the one week he strayed a tad, he was sent home. The problem, according to Colton? Lady Gaga.

Jennifer Lopez called his?performance of "Bad Romance" an "exciting performance." Randy Jackson declared that the audience was "just at the Colton Dixon concert." And Steven Tyler encouraged him to "keep taking chances and risks."

But the 20-year-old singer believes his fans?weren't as impressed with his song choice despite the tune being a hit.

"I've taken pride in knowing who I am and taking a stance in my faith, and by choosing 'Bad Romance,' I turned off a lot of those voters, who are my core voters," Colton told reporters during a conference call on Friday.

And it seems he realized his mistake quickly when he offered up a mea culpa as he stood on stage as the 7th place finisher. ?I wasn?t myself (Wednesday) night, and I get it,? he told the audience.

?I got caught up in the musicality and the performance instead of what it should?ve been, which is a connection to a song that I normally bring every week,? he explained to reporters.

"I think ('Bad Romance') was a bad risk to take because I didn't really think it through," Colton said. "I think musically and performance wise and image, I was so happy with the way it turned out. But at the same time, the message that was portrayed wasn't really who I was.?... I think that?s the main reason I?m talking to you right now.?

Though it was a tough lesson to learn and a disappointment to not continue in the competition, he?s looking forward to the ?Idol? tour and furthering his musical career.

?You have to have a valley before you can peak,? Colton said. ?And what?s cool about this is I don?t think I?ve peaked yet.?
