Din punct de vedere al costurilor lucrurile sunt cât se poate de simple: pentru 100 de GB Dropbox taxează 199 de dolari pe an, noul Google Drive 60 de dolari anual, iar Microsoft SkyDrive 50. Să nu uităm nici de iCloud de la Apple, care vine cu cel mult 55 GB spațiu în schimbul a 100$ anual.
Cât privește versiunile lor free, cursa rămâne destul de strânsă: Dropbox oferă 2 GB gratuit cu posibilitate de mărire rapidă a spațiului, Google Drive și Apple iCloud 5 GB, în timp ce SkyDrive vine cu 7 GB (25GB bonus pentru utilizatorii cu vechime).
De departe, singurul element util în departajarea acestor oferte de cloud storage rămâne experiența pe care o oferă. Desigur, nu trebuie ignorată nici compatibilitatea cu laptopul/smartphone-ul din dotare.

Nikon P510 42x optical zoom. Source: www.nikonusa.com
In November last year I decided to get serious about the photos I take. Of course, mobile phones cameras are getting better and better (16 MP with the HTC Titan II), but even with the best mobile phone lenses or even with the slickest apps, the photos we take with our mobile phones are nothing more than photos taken with a mobile phone.
Therefore I went for a Nikon L120, but soon found out that the pictures it took were disappointing, especially in poor lighting conditions. So I returned that one and settled for a Nikon Coolpix P500. From my personal experience with the camera I can tell you that the P500 one takes great photos in every possible lighting environments thanks to its back-light CMOS senzor, has an impressive wide-angle optical zoom at 36x and boost Full HD recording at 1920x1080p / 30fps.
Why I’m telling you all this? Well, simply because the folks at Nikon launched P510, a remarkable successor to the above mentioned P500. As compared to the P500, the next generation super-zoom from Nikon comes with a 42x zoom with lens-shift VR and 16 MP. Talking about lens envy, right?
