Samsung EX1, TL500

February 20, 2010

I personally think it would be best to have a global model number: Samsung’s EX1 in Europe is the TL500 in the US. Canon does this too. Nevertheless the EX1 or TL500 was introduced on February 20, 2010 and makes use of a 1/1.7-inch CCD image sensor, which is larger than what is typically found [...]

Sony Cybershot TX5: Thinnest Waterproof Compact

February 19, 2010

The Cybershot TX5 from Sony is just 17.7-mm thick and adds to that slim profile a lot of proofs: waterproof (down to 3m), dust-proof, shock-proof (can be dropped from a height of 1.5m), and freeze-proof (chilled to -10°C). A 10MP Exmor R CMOS image sensor coupled with the BIONZ processor enable 10fps continuous shooting and [...]

Olympus E-PL1

February 2, 2010

Wanted to purchase an EP-1 or EP-2 but found them too expensive or too big? Olympus has solved that problem with the E-PL1, a simplified, less expensive Micro-Four Thirds digital camera. The E-PL1 features a 12.3 million effective-pixel 4/3-inch Hi-Speed Live MOS image sensor with a primary RGB color filter array and a fixed low [...]

Casio EX-G1

January 14, 2010

RUGGED: Cameras like the EX-G1 are designed for those who love the outdoors. This rugged Exilim is shock-resistant, waterproof and dustproof.
PRICEY: At ¥40,000 (about US$439) it certainly isn’t cheap even with specs like a 12.1MP CCD image sensor, 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder, and video capture at 848 x 480.
KIDS: I think rugged digital [...]

CES 2010: Sony Cybershot TX7, HX5V

January 9, 2010

The TX7 from Sony sports a 10MP Exmor R CMOS image sensor that takes great low-light pictures (but not-so-great ones when there’s a lot of light). Solid low-light shooting capability is a given for most prosumer digital cameras now, so that’s not big news. This might be: Sony is touting the TX7 to be the [...]

Samsung CL80: 3.7-inch AMOLED WiFi Digicam

December 25, 2009

AMOLED: Samsung’s CL80 is a 14MP digital camera that packs a 3.7-inch AMOLED display with capacitive touch and haptic feedback. OLED, capacitive touch and haptic: what a potent combination. I hope the experience is just as good as the hardware combination suggests.
WIFI: One of the biggest challenges of sharing pictures is to get it online. [...]

Panasonic GF1 Field Test by Craig Mod

December 22, 2009

Let’s get straight to it: The GF1 with its 720p HD video recording capability is a fantastic digital camera that you can take with you almost everywhere. And that’s what Craig Mod did when he went to the Himalayas. He first showed us how good the GF1 is with still images and the pictures were [...]

Exemode SQ28m Pocket Digital Camera

December 11, 2009

Exemode’s SQ28m Pocket Digital Camera is small–small enough that it fits on your keychain. The exact size is 53 x 23 x 19mm. It takes video at 320 x 240 pixel format at 8fps. With no audio. And pictures at a weird 1200 x 1280. Cost ¥5,985 (about US$67). Comes in two colors: red, blue.
