The turkey is thought to have first made an appearance in England in 1526 when a certain trader, William Strickland, bought six birds from American Indian traders whilst in America and sold them for tuppence each in Bristol.
Henry VIII was the first English Monarch to try it when its popularity as an alternative to the more usual Royal fayre of beef, venison, red deer, mutton, swan (alternating with goose or stork), capon, coney, carp, pheasants, herons, bitterns, shovelards, partridges, quails, cocks, plovers, gulls, pigeons, larks, pullets, chickens, lamb, kid and rabbit, not forgetting the boars head bedecked with rosemary and bay,1 grew because the turkey was cheap, domesticated and fast to fatten up.

So, you're thinking about jumping into the vivid world of high definition, huh? Well, get ready for visual bliss. The difference between high definition and standard definition is night and day.

Sure, remote controls, big screen TVs and satellite broadcasting have hit the scene, but the quality of the picture has remained fairly constant.

Pre-PMA 2009: Ricoh has launched the CX1, a CMOS-based zoom compact camera. The CX1 puts a 9 megapixel CMOS sensor in a R10-like body offering a 28-200mm equivalent zoom range but increasing the screen resolution to 920,000 dots (unusually good for a compact camera). The new sensor allows high-speed continuous shooting (up to 120 frames per second at 640x480 pixel resolution), and has a series of additional technologies to boost dynamic range. The first is a multiple exposure mode that effectively produces in-camera HDR images, the second is a system that uses red and blue data to calculate a green value when the green channel over-exposes.
