RATINGEN, Germany, 14th March 2024: FUJIFILM Europe GmbH, Imaging Solutions Division, announced today the launch of its’ high-end, analog instant camera, the INSTAX MINI 99 instant camera (MINI 99). With its classic and stylish matte black finish, the MINI 99 brings advanced new features including color effect dials, a unique Vignette Switch, plus brightness and focus modes to maximize the potential of each photo while maintaining the traditional INSTAX aesthetic.
The MINI 99 features a first of its kind Color Effect Dial. This unique dial control has six effects – Faded Green, Warm Tone, Light Blue, Soft Magenta, Sepia, and Light Leak – which allows the user to customize, create and curate a one-time only unique image. Driven by LED lights within the camera, the Color Effect feature exposes the chosen color onto the INSTAX MINI instant film, creating the desired effect on the printed INSTAX MINI photo.
The MINI 99 also comes with an exciting new switch, the new Manual Vignette Switch. Located on the lens housing it can be used to add an artistic shaded frame around the image.

Shooting Modes: A variety of shooting modes enhance the user experience, with Indoor Mode designed for low light situations, Sports Mode, which increases the shutter speed to grab the perfect action shot, Double Exposure Mode, which lets the user combine two images into one, and Bulb Mode, which increases the amount of light let in when creating the image, creating a brightened effect on the print.
The camera’s Landscape, Standard, and Macro Focus Modes are easily accessible by adjusting the lens dial. Landscape Mode focuses on subjects positioned at a distance reference of “3.0m and beyond”. Macro Mode is perfect for close-ups and selfies at a distance reference of “0.3m to 0.6m”. Users can select Standard Mode for everything in between.

We have the latest in for review here at techbuzz so if you have any questions feel free to ask as usual while we test the latest from Creative out.
Experience the Power of xMEMS Drivers
At the heart of the Creative Aurvana Ace and Creative Aurvana Ace 2 lies the cutting-edge solid-state MEMS-based drivers, which play a pivotal role in delivering a truly natural and lifelike sound experience. These specialized drivers, expertly integrated into each earbud, showcase an innovative design with tiny flaps meticulously mounted to silicon chips. What makes this technology stand out is how it replicates sound when these flaps swiftly respond to short electrical signals. In doing so, these drivers are able to generate sound waves that closely mimic the way users naturally hear sounds in the world around them. This results in an audio experience that is not only pristine but also remarkably lifelike, akin to having the performers right beside the users.
This is Dyson’s first wearable and being a tech reviewer that goes hands on with more headphones and earbuds than anyone in Ireland this is a different approach than your typical pair of headphones and we look forward to testing these out for ourselves over the coming weeks as we go full hands on with them and find out what is on offer here.
Dyson engineers had to think about comfort in a new way. Detailed research into head and face geometries meant engineers could measure how the Dyson Zone air purifying headphones would sit on and perform on different heads– informing the clamp force of the headband, the geometry and materials of the visor, the adjustability of the machine and much more.
Taking inspiration from the shape and design of a horse’s saddle, the Dyson Zone is engineered to distribute weight over the sides of the head, rather than on the top. A saddle typically curves over the horse’s spine distributing the load through contact with the areas left and right of the backbone – a format used for the central cushion on the headband.
The development of the ear cushions is important for three reasons: comfort, on-head stability, and passive attenuation. Foam is an obvious choice for ear cushions, but Dyson engineers dug deep into the make-up of different foams to choose the most suitable material based on density, rate of compression and spring-back rate – all of which change the way pressure translates onto the head.
When choosing the optimal foam for the ear and headband cushions, it was important to balance the comfort it provides, its stability when moulded to the ear, but critically the acoustic benefit it provides. Moulding around the ear increases the size of the contact points providing better sealing – and inhibiting additional urban noise entering the ear. The cushion is purposefully flatter than conventional ear cushions for both attenuation and comfort, and the cushions are angled in line with the angle of the ear on the head for optimal comfort.
The Dyson Zone air-purifying headphones are available in stores and online at www.dyson.ie
Check out the first look and tour of these headphones below and stay tuned for a full hands on review in the coming weeks any questions drop em in the comments on our social media and YouTube.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is here and will be my daily driver for a bit now and on the surface looks the same as before bar the few subtle changes and the price of course which is now up there with Apple.
The S24 Ultra now has a flat front and the corners not so much stabbing your hands the frame is of course titanium making it a lighter and has a brighter screen and has Gorilla Glass Armor.
The buzzword for the new device is all about Galaxy AI which is something we have seen already and much like the Google Pixel 8 Pro which I use as a daily driver and we will put these to the test over the coming weeks but again there is a alot of computational stuff going on under the hood and with the cameras.
Speaking of the cameras there is one change here being the optical changed from 10X to 5X but packing more megapixels and as always spouting bigger numbers does not mean better results but we will see over the next while how the cameras do which I look forward to testing.
Under the hood there is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 over last years 2 and of course was expected in this years flagship device from the company, I also use the Galaxy Z flip 5 and have the iPhone 15 Pro so again can do some tests side by side. With the S24 we have Android 14 with up to 7 years support which is huge for those who hang onto phones that long which I can say I do not know anyone that does but apparently it is now a trend starting to evolve and they are not the first to offer a lengthy support term.
Only having the phone two days now so far so good it is fast no issues doing the usual things I do on my phone which is crucify them when testing and with my workflow it has been good so far even loaded up with all my usual apps and thus far liking it with the big screen and so on but I am not a fan of the bigger device and this might be a stretch to far for me but let’s wait and see if it grows on me over the next few weeks.
If you have any questions you want answered feel free to ask and stay tuned for a selection of case reviews coming from our partners over the next week or two and any accessories that may follow and we will be back will more soon.
The EDIFIER NeoBuds Pro 2 Earbuds is their latest on offer from the brand that delivers excellent audio products at great prices and still to this day I regularly use the NeoBuds Pro which are still in my rotation today so at the news of their second pair in the series to come out I was looking forward to getting these in my ears quickly as you do..
Any questions while we test these out over the next week or two drop them in the comments as usual and we will be back with a full review soon.
