Pentax 645D DSLR has been officially announced and comes equipped with a 40MP sensor lens that was made by Kodak, as well as an AFOX IX+ autofocus system with 11 sensor points.

The Pentax 645D DSLR is equipped with a large glass prism viewfinder, which allows an approximate 98% of field of view. Along with this. it’s also equipped with an LCD screen that boasts 921k pixel resolution and dual-memory card slots that allow the use of both SD and SDHC memory cards.

This Pentax DSLR is housed in a semi-rugged case, that includes magnesium-steel alloy frame and 70 seals to reduce the risks of physical damage as well as making it weather and dust proof. Although it’s housed in a semi-rugged case but its total weight has been kept down to 1.48kg with the battery and 2 memory cards on, which is considered pretty lightweight.

The 645D is slated to hit the Japanese market in May for a price tag of about $9,500 USD and you have tp pay additional $1,100 for the lens. No information about when it’ll go to other countries such as US and Europe.

The Retrieva’s GPS dog collar has got a new version which makes use of ViewRanger software technology to allow you to use your mobile phone to track your pets.

The ViewRanger software is to be installed on your mobile phone and able to communicate with the GPS dog collar via SMS text. It also shows you on your phone with information about the speed of your dog is traveling and the direction it’s heading. The software also combines the information with the street maps, to let you have better visualization of the whereabout of your dog.

Other new features in the ViewRanger software include global map coverage and better reporting of pet collar’s status such as its battery life. This new mobile phone tracking ability is included in the new firmware within the Retrieva collars and within the latest ViewRanger sat-nav software, which is included in-the-box with every dog collar.

The entire mobile phone dog tracking system doesn’t come in cheap. The new Retrieva dog collar costs you £200 or $300.70 USD and it runs you additional £9.99 ($15 USD) per month to cover all network communications.
