euro is the official currency

The euro is the official currency of 16 out of 27 member states of the European Union (EU). The states, known collectively as the Eurozone are: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain. The currency is also used in a further five European countries, with and without formal agreements and is consequently used daily by some 327 million Europeans.[2]
As of November 2008[update], with more than €751 billion in circulation,[3] the euro is the currency with the highest combined value of cash in circulation in the world, having surpassed the U.S. dollar.[4] Based on IMF estimates of 2008 GDP and purchasing power parity among the various currencies, the Eurozone is the second largest economy in the world.[5]
The name euro was officially adopted on 16 December 1995.[6] The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency on 1 January 1999, replacing the former European Currency Unit (ECU) at a ratio of 1:1. Euro (€) coins and banknotes entered circulation on 1 January 2002.

UK CurrencyPrior to February 15th 1971 the British currency system was known as pounds, shillings and pence. In the system used at that time 12 pennies was equal to one shilling and 20 shillings was equal to one pound. After February 15th 1971 the Uk moved to a new system called decimalisation and brought the currency into line with the metric systems used in Europe which are based on a logical system of 10 or factors of 10's. So with decimalisation came a system of pounds and pence doing away with shillings altogether. UK currency is known as BRITISH STERLING.Under this system 100 pence is equal to one pound making working with the UK currency far easier. The symbol used for pounds is: £ or is sometimes shown as GBP (Great Britain Pounds) and the symbol used for pence is: pSo two pound forty pence would be written: £2.40 or GBP 2.40Twenty pence would be written 20p.Currently the currency in use is as follows: coins: 1 pence, 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 50 pence, one pound, 2 pounds. The 1 and 2 pence piece are bronze, the 5, 10, 20 and 50 pence pieces are silver and the 1 and 2 pound coins are gold. All coins carry the Queens head on the front.

Reserve Bank of India

The rupee (Hindi: रुपया) (code: INR) is the currency of India. The issuance of the currency is controlled by the Reserve Bank of India. The most commonly used symbols for the rupee are Rs, ₨ and रू. The ISO 4217 code for the Indian rupee is INR. On 5 March 2009 the Indian Government announced a contest to create a symbol for the Rupee.[1] The modern rupee is subdivided into 100 paise (singular paisa).
In most parts of India, the rupee is known as the rupee, rupaya (Hindi), roopayi in Telugu(రూపాయి) and Kannada(ರೂಪಾಯಿ), rubai in Tamil(ரூபாய்), roopa in Malayalam(രൂപ) or one of the other terms derived from the Sanskrit rupyakam [2] (Devanagari: रूप्यकं), raupya meaning silver; rupyakam meaning (coin) of silver. However, in West Bengal, Tripura, Orissa, and Assam, the Indian rupee is officially known by names derived from the Sanskrit Tanka. Thus, the rupee is called টাকা Taka in Bengali, টকা tôka in Assamese, and ଟଙ୍କା Tôngka in Oriya, with the symbol T, and is written as such on Indian banknotes.

currency of Pakistan

The rupee (sign: Rs; code: PKR) is the currency of Pakistan. The issuance of the currency is controlled by the State Bank of Pakistan, the central bank of the country. The most commonly used symbol for the rupee is Rs, used on receipts when purchasing goods and services. In Pakistan, the rupee is referred to as the "rupees", "rupaya" or "rupaye". As standard in Indian English, large values of rupees are counted in terms of thousands, lakh (100 thousand, in digits 1,00,000) and crore (10 million, in digits 1,00,00,000).

Saudi Arabia riyal

The riyal has been the currency of Saudi Arabia since the country came in to being and was the currency of Hejaz before Saudi Arabia was created. The Hejaz riyal was based on (though not equivalent to) the Ottoman 20 kuruş coin and was consequently divided into 20 ghirsh. However, although the Hejaz riyal was the same weight as the Ottoman 20 kuruş, it was minted in .917 fineness, compared to .830 fineness for the Ottoman coin. Thus, because the first Saudi riyal had the same specifications as the Hejaz riyal and circulated alongside Ottoman coins, it came to be worth 22 Ottoman kuruş and was consequently subdivided into 22 ghirsh when coins denominated in ghirsh were issued from 1925. This remained the system of currency even though the riyal was subsequently debased to a coin equivalent in silver content to the Indian rupee in 1935.

Kuwaiti dinar

The dinar was introduced in 1961 to replace the Gulf rupee. It was initially equivalent to one pound sterling. As the rupee was fixed at 1 shilling 6 pence, this resulted in a conversion rate of 13⅓ rupees to the dinar.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, the Iraqi dinar replaced the Kuwaiti dinar as the currency and large quantities of banknotes were stolen by the invading forces. After liberation, the Kuwaiti dinar was restored as the country's currency and a new banknote series was introduced, allowing the previous notes, including those stolen, to be demonetized.

Canadian dollar

The Canadian dollar (sign: $; code: CAD) is the currency of Canada. It is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or C$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies.[1] It is divided into 100 cents. As of 2007, the Canadian dollar was the 7th most traded currency in the world.[2]

Dollar US

The German name Thaler comes from the Bohemian coin minted in the 16th century from silver mined at Joachimsthal in Bohemia. Not long after issuance, these coins gained the name Joachimsthalers. Subsequently, the coins were called "thaler" regardless of the issuing authority[1], and continued to be minted until 1872.

DSLR-A100

Review based on a production DSLR-A100
In July 2005 Konica Minolta and Sony made an announcement that they were to jointly develop digital SLR cameras. This agreement hinted at shared technology between the two companies such as auto focus, metering and Anti-Shake coming from Konica Minolta and sensors, electronics and batteries from Sony. Some six months later Konica Minolta dropped a bomb on the camera market by announcing that they were withdrawing from the camera business and had transferred certain camera assets including the Maxxum/Dynax lens mount and related SLR technologies to Sony.
Almost a year on since that first announcement we have the new Sony Alpha DSLR-A100, a compact, ten megapixel (CCD) digital SLR with a (Konica) Minolta lens mount, Anti-Shake (now Super SteadyShot) and a definite cross-breed appearance. It's fair to say that while this camera may share some components with previous Konica Minolta digital SLR's Sony's involvement has brought external styling, build quality and finish up to a higher standard. The lens mount is to be called the 'Alpha mount' and Sony has announced no less than 19 lenses which will carry the Sony Alpha branding (although many are based on existing Minolta lenses).
Key features and technologies
Sony Alpha lens mountIdentical to the Minolta A-type bayonet mount, enabling the use of a large back catalogue of existing Minolta and third party lenses as well as avoiding the development of a whole new system. Interestingly only four of the new lenses introduced are designed for an APS imaging circle.
10 megapixel APS-C CCDInterestingly Sony has gone for CCD rather than CMOS with this camera, so it's not the same sensor as used in the DSC-R1. We've no official confirmation but it seems likely that this is the same 23.6 x 15.8 mm CCD used in the Nikon D200.
Anti-BlurSony has renamed Minolta's CCD shift Anti-Shake system as 'Super SteadyShot', but the principal is the same. However we have it on good authority that Sony's engineers have made some significant improvements to the system and now claim shutter speeds 3.5 stops slower can be used with Super SteadyShot enabled. The second part of the Anti-Blur story is the availability of high sensitivities of up to ISO 1600.
Anti-DustThe 'dust' issue has been around since the beginning of digital SLR photography and it affects different cameras to different degrees. Olympus took the advantage with their SSWF filter, Sony appear to be keen to capitalize on this. Firstly a special anti-static coating (Indium Tin Oxide) on the low-pass filter in front of the CCD ensures no build up of dust due to static electricity. Secondly an 'Anti-Dust vibration' using the cameras CCD shift system, but instead of introducing a delay at startup this occurs at power off.
Bionz Image ProcessorCanon can be thanked for the trend of branding the image processor used in the camera, Sony clearly realize the value of this but unfortunately haven't exactly picked a very dynamic name. Their new 'Bionz' image processor is said to be a significant improvement over anything used in previous KM digital SLR's, it also enables one of the A100's unique features; Dynamic Range Optimization. Sony claim this will be the fastest such system as it is designed in at a hardware level.
Eye Start AFEye Start AF isn't anything new to previous Minolta SLR owners but Sony are obviously keen to continue its use. On the A100 Eye Start AF does exactly what it says, when the sensor detects the proximity of your eye to the eyepiece it begins to auto focus and remains in 'continuous' auto focus until the shutter release is half-pressed or you put the camera down. In reality this means that the camera is likely to have an approximate focus on the subject before shutter release.
Continuous shooting until media fullWe have seen this on a couple of other digital SLRs but the A100 allows you to shoot continuously at three frames per second at any image quality setting (apart from RAW) until the storage card is full (with a reasonably good performance Compact Flash card).
40 segment honeycomb pattern meteringThe Konica Minolta 7D and 5D both featured 14 segment honeycomb pattern metering sensors, the A100 advances this with its 40 segment sensor.
2.5" 230,000 pixel 'Clear Photo LCD Plus' monitorThe large high resolution LCD monitor appears to provide a very good image and has good viewing angles (better from above, left and right than from below).
Lithium-Ion batteryThe A100 takes a new NP-FM55H battery which while not carrying the InfoLithium name is apparently compatible with any other Sony DSC which used the NP-FM50, however the A100 doesn't have the InfoLithium readout. You can't use standard NP-FM50 batteries in the A100.

SONY a200

Super SteadyShot™ Inside for greater handheld shooting freedom
The α200 is equipped with an advanced Super SteadyShot image stabilization system to help prevent blurring caused by camera shake. Built right into the camera body, the system works with any α lens, enabling you to capture sharp images at shutter speeds from 2.5 to 3.5 steps slower than would otherwise be possible. And that means you can enjoy the freedom of unencumbered handheld shooting in situations that would normally require the use of flash or a tripod.

Sony pd170

The DSR-PD150 has been an excellent performer since it came out years ago but it has matured over time. As other companies such a Panasonic introduced new cameras like the AG-DVX100 with features such as 24p recording, the DSR-PD150 began to loose its luster. Many people expected Sony to do something outrageous and cutting edge to steal the thunder from the AG-DVX100 and XL-1s, but Sony did the opposite. However, inspite of all this the DSR-PD170 (Review, Specs, $2579) proves that solid video performance is still the ticket to a great camera, even without many of the new features hyped by other camera makers.

Also enabling outstanding responsiveness, DIGIC II makes possible continuous shooting of high-quality (JPEG large) images at up to four frames per second for up to 32 consecutive shots, the high-speed writing of image files to the card media, and a fast startup time of just 0.3 seconds. Canon's EOS-1Ds Mark II professional digital SLR camera offers a range of new features, including a greater choice of image-quality settings, with four JPEG sizes and ten compression levels in addition to a RAW file setting. Additionally, two customizable color-matrix settings, in addition to five preset modes, enable image optimization according to the requirements of the subject or output device. Moreover, dedicated card slots for CompactFlash and SD memory cards enable simultaneous backup or selective recording to either card, while a video output terminal enables users to view images on a television screen. The model also incorporates a two-inch 230,000 dots LCD monitor which, nearly doubling the resolution of that offered by the previous model, enables magnification up to 10x to effectively check image focus during playback. The EOS-1Ds Mark II offers outstanding resilience, boasting improvements such as dramatically increased shutter durability capable of withstanding 200,000 cycles. A lightweight, heavy-duty magnesium alloy exterior provides exceeding rigidity as well as electromagnetic shielding, while thorough water- and dust-resistant sealing in 70 locations, including all switches, body seams and memory-card slots, ensures users of unfailing reliability under even the most grueling conditions. Other advanced features include a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 second; Canon's proprietary 45-point area autofocus, which makes photo composition quick and easy by eliminating the need to position the subject at the center of the picture; a 21-Zone Evaluative metering sensor to ensure ideal exposure performance; an advanced full-frame viewfinder; and Custom Function control, which allows users to tailor camera operations to their individual preferences. Moreover, the new EOS-1Ds Mark II features Canon's E-TTL II flash metering system which, when used with the company's EX-series Speedlite flashes, utilizes distance information provided through the lens for more precise and stable direct-flash exposure than ever before. *As of September 15, 2004**Excludes EF-S lenses
