If you think that this is the ultimate insult to Vista Ultimate, then you need to think again. That joke has already been played even before the new Microsoft OS was released, so its scathing effect has already been blunted. Redmond was also expecting remarks to this effect, too. What it didn’t expect, though, is for PCs to be still running on XP long after Vista has been released.

Indeed, persisting consumer skepticism, along with claims that Vista Ultimate performs below par compared to its predecessor, is the ultimate slap to its authors. Snide remarks on Vista’s price tag are nothing compared to comments as to its real value.

I don’t know how long PC users would continue to doubt or question the need to shift to the new Microsoft OS. XP’s not getting any younger, though. Time will definitely come when all PCs will ultimately be under Vista Ultimate’s realm…that is if a new Microsoft OS won’t jump over it.

Tamron, makers of quality camera lenses unveiled a unique ultra high power zoon lens that is hyped as the world’s first 15x stabilized zoom lens for Nikon and Canon SLR cameras.

While the category as to which the new lens belongs may not appeal to the general public, hardcore camera enthusiasts had long called for a high resolution and high magnification stabilized lens for modern digital SLRs.

The Tamron AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO (Model B003) is the first lens in the world to combine high zoom ratio and effective Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism. This allows capturing of super detailed images without leaving a long telephoto setting.

Taking pictures in long distances is also made easier with the lens’ vast zoon-range and wide angle capability. Photographers will only need to turn on the zooming control.

The new lens also sports Tamron’s tri-axial Vibration Compensation system that reduces the effect of camera shakes in images. This makes taking pictures without the use of a tripod a breeze. The technology also has a strong implication on candid, sports and news photography.

The lens’ price is not yet disclosed.
