When we were little, we hated going to bed more than anything.

Sweet slumber is a much more appreciated commodity nowadays, but we still find ourselves wishing there were more hours in each day. If only we could race across the skies in a private 767, outrunning the sunset and never seeing darkness.

Well, we’ve found the next best thing.

Eternal Sunset is a website that tracks 250 webcams across 49 countries. At any given time, the sun’s setting somewhere, and Eternal Sunset will show it to you.

It won’t add hours to your day (quite the contrary) but if you’ve always dreamed of seeing the perfect sunset in Napoli, Egypt, or from atop Mount Fuji, park yourself in front of your ‘puter and watch that fiery globe fall. Over and over again.

Sure, smile-detection might smell of gimmickry, but we like Sony’s new touchscreen T200 and T70 cameras all the same. Normally we’d say bigger is better for LCDs, but the T200 looks like someone did a shoddy job of scaling the T70’s screen up to size — same amount of pixels, now with more blur.

There were really too many of these new Coolpix cameras on display at Nikon’s booth to give any of them a fair shake, but that didn’t stop us from giving the Coolpix S51c that very special look we reserve specifically for WiFi-enabled cameras.

Would we ever in a million years know what to do with this much photo-power at our finger tips? Not a chance, but it’s nice to dream, and the D3 is going to make the dreams of very many photo nerds come true this year. Nikon fanboy or Canon faithful, either way this is a beautiful piece of kit.

While we might not spend as much time geeking out over ISOs and shutter speeds as the true photography faithful, even we couldn’t help but shiver at the feel of the “click” in Nikon’s new D300 DSLR. You have to be pretty serious about your hobby to pick this thing up, or perhaps going pro on a “budget,” but there’s certainly plenty of quality under the hood and photo-geek sexy on the outside to make it worth your hard-earned Euro.
