I gave up my beloved X100 this year, looking to either go with the S model or XE-2. Oh, yeah, the cameras take fantastic photos. Some models also come with digital - and in the case of X100, X100S and X-Pro1 hybrid optical - viewfinders. Higher-end models, like the X100S or X-E2, put controls where photographers expect them: On the body, rather than in menus. Fuji's design removes the mirror, putting the lens closer to the sensor and thus reducing overall footprint - that's body and lens. Fujifilm released three new compacts ( X100S, X20, XQ1) and as many interchangeable lens digicams ( X-A1, X-E2, X-M1) during 2013.ĭigital SLRs are large and bulky because of the mirror.
My second choice is the company's X-Series mirrorless digicam family. Kodak is history, while Fujifilm is the future, producing some of the best and most affordable digital cameras anywhere. What a tragedy.ĭuring the days of analog cameras, Fujifilm competed unsuccessfully against kingpin Kodak. In all her Amazon searches for coffee makers, AeroPress didn't appear once. "You don't often find the best and brightest when searching for products", my wife says.
What a value! We use Trader Joe's Espresso blend and get coffee that, yes, tastes like 5,500 bucks! I emailed the story to my wife, who after doing some research bought AeroPress. In April, NY Daily News headline "When it comes to single-cup coffeemakers, it turns out that cheaper is better: We tested seven models and the $30 AeroPress beat out the $5,500 Jura Giga 5", gripped my attention. Manufacturer Aerobie claims the little coffee press makes the "world's smoothest, richest brew". The device requires a little muscle, and for $25 street price is unbeatable value. AeroPress makes the best brew I've ever tasted. My first choice is arguably low-tech and didn't release in 2013. With that short introduction, I present my five favorite tech products of 2013 (and one from 2005, newly discovered). You can spend 25 cents and get loads of value from something or $2,500 and little at all. Which products I see delivering the most value for money spent. Only things I actually have used qualify for consideration. Colleagues Ian Barker, Alan Buckingham, Brian Fagioli, Mihaita Bamburic, Wayne Williams, and Mark Wilson have all picked their favorite tech for the year.
