Sharp GX10 - Vodafone - Pay As You Talk (Smartstep)

Product Information

Compare this crop from the above image with similar shots taken on other 10MP DSLRs such as the Olympus E-400, Nikon D80, Canon EOS 400D and others. I think you’ll agree that the GX-10 is as good as any of the competition in terms of overall detail. At the maximum 1600 ISO there is a fair bit of image noise visible, but the performance is still well up to the expected standard. While the GX-BT60 is able to reach an impressive maximum volume for a speaker of its size, it doesn’t quite manage to maintain audio fidelity at its loudest. For the most part, output remains consistent but there were a few instances where trebles felt a little piercing at the highest volume. These issues were rare and not overly impactful, but it’s something worth taking into account if you’re planning on regularly cranking it up to the max.

Requires Microsoft Windows 98, 98SE (Pentium 133 MHz or above). Also now fully supports Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP. Once you have figured that out the speaker is lightweight at just under a 1lb which means it’s great to pop in your bag for a day to the beach or around the pool. The speaker is also IP56 rated meaning it’s splashproof and dustproof. However, This speaker not waterproof so to play it on the safe side keep it away from the pool the sunbed table or hang on the umbrella is the perfect place.At each end of the speaker, you will find a silver passive bass radiator that has the sharp logo printed in the centre. The issue I found is which is top or bottom but sharp have come up with a solution they have attached a lace cord meaning if you hang the speaker up it does not matter as you will get sound from both ends. However, when not hanging do I lay it down or stand it up and which end? Our testing seems to indicate lay it on its side provides a smooth and warm sound but see what you like. Now compare it with this crop from the same image, but this time shot in DNG RAW mode and converted using Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop CS2. The colour gradations are finer, and the shot is noticeably more detailed. Multiple destination SMS send - makes it simple to send a text message/ringtone/graphic to more than one phone at a time. If you’re in the market for a compact, eminently affordable Bluetooth speaker capable of putting out powerful and satisfying audio, the Sharp GX-BT60 is a great choice. It’s cheaper than the similarly sized Tribit StormBox Micro and has more muscle than the JBL GO 3, which costs the same but is smaller.

NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives Easy to use - just insert the handset manager CD, install the software, then reboot and plug the cable into your USB port. You're then ready to go! The Schneider-Kreuznach-branded Pentax lens produces excellent detail from corner to corner, but slight barrel distortion does bend the horizon a bit. And yes, that’s famously broken ”Napoli” there in the distance, still cluttering up our coastline. Battery wise its also really good not quite as good as the B&O Beoplay A1 but with 20 hours playtime and the charge time from 0% is 3 hours. The negative which this speaker has is the microphone it’s poor when using it to take calls and for when using my devices smart assistant it just did not hear me it’s not a deal-breaker just annoying meaning am having to do more of the changes via my phone. However, Like I say no big deal

With powerful sound and a durable design, the Sharp GX-BT60 is an excellent Bluetooth speaker, especially for outdoor use

At 100 ISO the GX-10 provides beautifully smooth images with no noise at all, although the characteristic Pentax softness is noticeable. The viewfinder is especially good. Some modern DSLRs have rather small, dark viewfinders, but the GX-10’s pentaprism design is more like the large bright finders found on classic 35mm film SLRs, with 95 percent frame coverage and 95 percent magnification. The 11 target points of the AF system are bright and easy to see even in bright sunlight, and fine lines of the targeting reticule are unobtrusive. There is a fairly complete data display along the bottom frame of the viewfinder, although I did find it a little dim and difficult to read in bright sunlight. Possibly some sort of automatic brightness adjustment would be a good idea? In terms of absolute image quality, the GX-10 is on the same level as the models with which it is competing, and as I’ve pointed out before, the differences in image quality between the various 10MP mid-to-high-end cameras are so slight that it’s almost a matter of personal taste as to which one you prefer. To get the best out of it though it’s essential to use the RAW mode. In JPEG mode the high rate of compression produces images that are not as sharp or detailed as native JPEG images from some other 10MP DSLRs. However processing the DNG RAW files in Adobe Camera RAW produces fantastically sharp, superbly detailed images that are well up to professional standards. Like most Pentax DSLRs they have a slight air of softness about them, but respond extremely well to a light touch of unsharp mask. The SMC Pentax lens (whatever the branding says) is the same high quality glass that we’ve seen before on previous cameras such as the *ist D and K100D, and it produces outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness as always. Also as always it produces some barrel distortion at the 18mm end, but not enough to cause a real problem. While the additional colour depth provided by the 22-bit pipeline and PRIME engine doesn’t make much difference in JPEG mode, in RAW mode it provides a huge amount of exposure latitude, enabling a wide range of exposure adjustment in the post-processing phase, more I would say than any competing camera.

Shooting speed is exceptionally fast. Thanks to its use of high-speed DDR2 memory (the same kind used in high-end gaming PCs) and Pentax’s new PRIME image processing engine the GX-10 can shoot at three frames a second, which is on a par with the Nikon D80, but where the D80’s buffer can only hold 23 shots in JPEG mode or 6 in RAW mode, the GX-10 can shoot 3fps JPEGs continuously until the memory card is full, or a burst of 11 RAW files, although I found that using a faster memory card significantly improved this performance. Using a fast SanDisk Extreme III SD card I was able to keep shooting in RAW mode until the card was full, with only a slight slow-down in shooting speed after the first 11 frames. Samsung adds, “The GX-10 is a professional model far more upgraded than the previous GX series. The improved GUI (Graphic User Interface) for user’s convenience and cutting-edge functions are incorporated. The GX-10 has the optimum system as well as picture quality to satisfy users.”Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, national insurance and more The GX-10 boasts a 10.2 mega-pixel image sensor, which offers the photographer a sharper image, with richer colours for a truly compelling composition. Taking photos is made easier with the PentaPrism viewfinder with its high magnification (0.95x) to provide a clearer, wider field of view (95%) for optimum shooting. For unrivalled viewing of photos the GX-10 also comes complete with a wide view 2.5” TFT LCD (210k pixels). With its powerful built-in Optical Picture Stabilization (OPS) technology, the GX-10 prevents blurred pictures by shifting the CCD to counter any movement of the camera’s body. In addition, when a manual lens is used in ordinary digital SLR cameras, the camera’s shake prevention mechanism does not function properly since the camera does not have the lens information. In the GX-10, however, the manual lens information can be input so that film cameras’ manual lenses can also be used with the GX-10. (In some digital SLR, because the lens has the shake prevention functionality, the unsteady hands cannot be compensated for when manual lenses are used.) Use your phone to surf the net - utilize the modem and connect to the Internet or send & receive faxes (if your phone has an in-built modem). With an open soundstage and respectable instrument separation, the GX-BT60 is able to effectively reproduce complicated compositions, with even the most frantic of ska anthems unfolding as carefully articulated marches of drums and brass. Trebles are clean and crisp, lending impact to trumpet solos and piano riffs, while the mids are detailed enough to ensure vocals can be heard clearly.

Design-wise it looks similar to the GX-BT 180 but just a bigger version. It’s a cylindrical design with a grille that covers the speaker 360 degrees and is made of fabric material with rubber accents on both the top and bottom. The red version we got really does stand out and you get 3 symbols on the front. The GX-10 has the ability to shoot multiple exposures, up to nine shots on the same frame, automatically adjusting the exposure as it goes. In this mode shooting is quite a bit slower, shooting at about one frame every 1.3 seconds, so it’s not particularly useful for fast-moving subjects, but it can produce some interesting effects. This is a 100-percent crop from the corner of the previous image, showing the level of corner sharpness of the 18-55mm kit lens.

NEW - Picture Editing Tool - A more powerful picture editor, allowing you to edit your pictures and images with greater functionality.Your Sharp mobile phone has been designed, manufactured and tested so as not to exceed the limits for exposure to electromagnetic fields recommended by the Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines developed by independent scientific organisations. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of the phone user and others and to take into account variations in age and health, individual sensitivities and environmental conditions. European standards provide for the amount of radio frequency electromagnetic energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone to be measured by reference to the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for the general public is currently 2 watts per kilogram averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. Your Sharp mobile phone SAR value is 0.56 watts per kilogram. This has been tested to ensure that this limit is not exceeded even when the phone is operating at its highest certified power. In use however your Sharp mobile phone may operate at less than full power because it is designed to use only sufficient power to communicate with the network.
