PODZ CD Storage Cases
The new, colorful PODZ Sealed Disc Storage Cases offer a unique alternative
to hard plastic jewel cases for protecting photo CDs. These cases are slimmer
than standard jewel cases, and are made of lightweight, flexible, shatterproof
polypropylene. They’re great for CD storage, mailing, and travel applications.
Surround Seal Technology seals the entire perimeter of PODZ cases with a 360°
protective ring to keep out dust, dirt, grit and water, while PODZ Floating
Disc Suspension protects the CD’s top and bottom surfaces from damaging
abrasion. PODZ, 1226 Puerta del Sol, San Clemente, CA 92673; 949/366-6515. www.thinkpodz.com.

Konica Minolta Digital SLR
The new Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D is a 6.1-megapixel digital SLR that features
a body-integral CCD-shift, Anti-Shake (camera-shake compensation) technology.
This system instantly shifts the CCD to compensate for camera motion, allowing
you to shoot at shutter speeds up to three steps slower than you could otherwise—with
virtually any Maxxum AF lens. This camera also offers a large, high-definition
2.5-inch color LCD monitor and is compatible with all Maxxum AF lenses. Other
features include Konica Minolta’s CxProcess III image-processing technology
for high-definition, natural-looking images. Konica Minolta Photo Imaging U.S.A.,
Inc., 725 Darlington Ave., Mahwah, NJ 07430; 201/574-4000. www.konicaminolta.us.
