Ever wish you could just communicate with your household appliances in the same manner as with a regular human being? The Kelvin Talking Thermostat does just that – you can adjust the temperature in your humble abode by just speaking into it.

In addition you can also get an instant temperature reading by asking the device. This is a great addition to any home, as even the elderly or visually impaired will be able to take charge of the home’s temperature with very little or no problem at all.

 If speaking is not your thing, there is always the option of doing it the old fashioned way – pressing the large tactile buttons or simply clapping your hands.

The EF S55-250mm/4-5.6 IS  lens is a high performance telephoto zoom lens equipped with an Image Stabilizer that provides up to three stops of "shake" correction, and the "Mode 2" option stabilizes images while panning with a moving subject.

The image stabilizer helps to prevent blurred shots during hand held shooting at slow shutter speeds. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 115th of a second.


Note: Available for rent with the Canon Rebel EOS Digital Camera # 2741
