Like its predecessor, the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW ($300; Oct.) is one of the toughest compact digital cameras you can buy.
But there’s more brains to go with the ruggedness this time around. This shockproof (5ft.), waterproof (10ft.) and freezeproof (14°F) camera has new Tap Control functionality that lets you activate settings just by tapping the top, back or sides of the motion-sensitive camera body. Buttons?

Acer Aspire One Netbook $329 - $399
The already inexpensive Acer Aspire One was one of our favorite Netbook-style laptops in our recent roundup (”Building the perfect Netbook”).

Eyes were bugging, mouths were watering, right index fingers were twitching for the longest time in anticipation of Nikon’s D3. With no desire to disappoint, the shutter icon pulled out all the stops of speed, durability, accuracy, features and ease-of-use in its first full-framed DSLR. When the news hit, there were a few raised eyebrows at the 12.1-megapixel output, but once the shutter started clacking its considerable improvements shone through and most of its doubters unfurrowed their brows.
Out of the box and straight up to the eye you’ll immediately enjoy …

Could we ever combine all these joys into one? Well, if you’ve looked at the image on the left (as studies show you customer folk do first anyways), you know we already have.

It’ll cost a pretty penny for that plane ticket to Italy, lodging and other expenditures required to step into a gondola on the Grand Canal in Venice, look around, and have the gondolier take you closer to points of interest along the canal. But with Microsoft’s new PhotoSynth software and Web site, you can now take a free digital tour that consists not of video, but of an array of photos stitched together to recreate the scene in three dimensions.

The limited-edition system will also include the rumble-ized DualShock 3 controller and two games: Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and (via a voucher for the PlayStation Store) Pain.
