Canon followed up its earlier camera intros with two more targeted at its highest-end users. The PowerShot S100 is a sequel to the by now well-known S90 and S95 and is the first camera with the Digic 5 chip. Making the upgrade improves the overall color accuracy, noise reduction, and performance but allows high-speed shooting […]
Pentax finished Monday with a unique take on the rapidly growing compact ultrazoom camera field. Its Optio RZ18 fits an 18X zoom 25-450mm equivalent lens with an f3.5-4.9 aperture into a consciously minimal design that stays relatively thin. A 16-megapixel sensor puts it at the higher end of the range, and it has an unusually […]
Kodak has launched its latest EasyShare digital camera, the EasyShare Touch M5370. The EasyShare Touch M5370 has the same 3-inch capacitive touchscreen LCD and 5X wide angle Schneider-Kreuznach lens as the original EasyShare Touch, but adds a 16-megapixel sensor and takes 720p video. A face tagging feature can recognize five faces at a time and […]
Nikon is updating its D3100 with a new designer color. The company will begin offering its entry-level DSLR, first introduced last August, in a red option. Nikon will start shipping the new color on September 22. The 14.2 megapixels camera has a CMOS sensor, a fixed three-inch TFT LCD, 3FPS continuous shooting, and an 11-point […]
As promised, Fujifilm on Thursday unveiled the X10. Its lower-cost counterpart to the X100 is a bridge between the SLR-grade flagship and point-and-shoots with a 2/3-inch, 12-megapixel sensor that represents its largest-ever EXR sensor. As with its ancestor, lens quality is the cornerstone: it has the same f2 aperture up close but now has a […]
Samsung has added two new point-and-shoot cameras to its range, the MV800 and the WB750. The center-piece of the MV800 is its large 3-inch capacitive touch screen flexible viewer. It allows the user to take pictures from a wide range of angles, and even allow users the ability to take self-portraits and even adjust the […]
Fujifilm set up expectations for the week as one of its Canadian social media experts confirmed that leaks were real. The camera maker would “repair” leaks of the X10 on Thursday. It hasn’t so far publicly acknowledged the features of the camera, which will serve as a step down from the X100. Recent unintentional brochure […]
One more Panasonic camera rounded out a series of introductions on Friday with its own distinct edge. The Lumix FZ150 ultrazoom focuses most on its sensor and new processing power. A fresh 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor not only helps improve its performance in low light and motion but lets it record 1080p video at 60 frames […]
Panasonic’s point-and-shoot Lumix cameras got their own upgrade Friday with the line’s first Wi-Fi capable version. The FX90 after an initial setup can push photos and videos directly to Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, or YouTube without needing a computer or an Eye-Fi card. When away from home, it also has a matching app for Android and […]
Panasonic addressed one of the most common complaints of mirrorless interchangeable lenses, the mismatch in size between the body and lenses, with a new set of Lumix lenses and a new camera bundle. The Lumix G X 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 is just over an inch long, as thick as some pancake lenses, but still has the […]
