Reviewing the Sony Handycam DCR - SR 85

When a person begins their search for digital camcorders, reading reviews may be a idea. The Sony Handycam DCR - SR85 is so fresh that a person may find locating reviews to be rather troublesome. The technology that this particular device uses is beyond the scope of anyone's imagination as to what constitutes a great camcorder. In order to learn about this video recorder, a person should do a little probing and find out all they can because once they learn, they will want one of their own.

The Sony Handycam DCR - SR85 is completely dependent on its internal hard drive to hold all of its memory. That is why this small camcorder has sixty gigs of memory to store a bundle of information. This memory is more than what some modern computers have to offer.

It also puts the consumer right in the middle of the action by having a zoom option that can magnify images up to twenty five times. This allows for those tight close-ups that are so hard to capture with many other digital camcorders.

Another great feature of the DCR-sr85 is that is uses hybrid recording technology. Since it focuses specifically on its internal memory for storage, a person needs a way to share and record their special moments besides being dependent on the memory of the digital camcorder.

Hybrid technology offers consumers the option to transfer data to a memory stick without the use of a computer. This is one of the new features that will be included in all digital camcorders in the near future.

The technology of the Sony Handycam DCR - SR85 is way beyond anything that a person could have conceived only a few short years ago. Today, the world is so high tech that a person must stay on top of it to be up with the times.

This Sony camcorder does just that. With all of the camcorder accessories that come with this baby, a person can be the most high tech movie maker at their kid's soccer game. Storing movies has never been easier thanks to Sony and their revolutionary technology.

The Unusual Gourmet Coffee Gift

Top 10 Unusual coffee gifts: So you have your cousin, the heavy gourmet coffee drinker and you want to surprise them this year. But you want to keep it coffee related but not give them the usual coffee beans, or gourmet coffee gift basket or even the usual gourmet coffee accessories or coffee mugs. And they are still using last year's coffee gift basket and the French press coffee maker only lasted a month before it wore out its differentness and became a hassle.

So what can you give the coffee drinker and keep it usual. Glad you asked?

1. Java logs - Especially for the environmentally conscious coffee-drinker. Java logs are man-made fireplace logs that are made up mostly of coffee grounds
2. Coffee flavored shampoo - for those who just can't get enough of that coffee aroma and want to smell like coffee all day. Purposively good for the hair though I'm sure the oil is beneficial.
3. Java love lotion - rub on your partner and see if they are as hot as your morning coffee. This has to be taking the "I love coffee" concept too far. ( I'm not making this up)
4. The Barista Action Figure - You coffee superhero can wake you in the morning and save you in the afternoon and make your favorite espresso in the afternoon. ( I'm not making this up)
5. Java necklace - a necklace of roasted and urethane coffee beans and your favorite jewelry stones. What better way to declare your love of coffee to the world? Beaded necklaces and other jewelry made with beads and coffee beans. Choose your favorite roast and favorite stones. Does love get any better than this?
6. Just coffee art - fine canvas paintings completely painted with paint made from coffee oils. It's hard to believe that these amazing paintings are done entirely in coffee. Why do they paint with coffee? Not sure but I am waiting on the body coffee paints...
7. A real live coffee tree - makes a great indoor plant though I wouldn't count on any coffee beans. If you do happen to grow some please send to Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee. An ideal gift for any coffee-lover who also has a green thumb. These plants will actually bloom and produce coffee cherries, given the right and perfect growing conditions (they do well indoors as a plant but not a coffee producer).
8. Kopi Luwak coffee beans - don't try this at home. Surprise someone with a gift box of the rarest coffee there is. It's also the strangest in my opinion. The Luwak coffee beans have actually been eaten by a small animal before being collected and roasted - poop washed off.
9. Chocolate covered coffee beans - the perfect combination of chocolate and coffee beans or your perfect dose of sugar and caffeine. Give this to your children and watch them bounce off your walls - for days. I can't imagine eating more than two of these. Take before your next 100 meter dash sprint.
10. Javapops - sweet candy that taste like coffee and is packed with 60 mg of caffeine. The perfect follow-up to the chocolate covered coffee beans. When your kids are coming off their 2 day chocolate covered bean high - give them two of these to offset the down mood. Or use these with your spouse before you lather them up with the coffee bean shampoo.

Isn't that coffee gift basket looking better and better? If you really want any of these gifts just Google the gift idea and buy online.
