Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR

Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:32:36 -0500

Fujifilm's FinePix F550EXR is a higher-end point-and-shoot digital camera released concurrently with the similar F500EXR. The two fit a similar market niche in that they have a compact form factor with a long telephoto zoom, improved processors and CMOS sensors over older long-zoom Fujifilm models, and a breadth of scene selections and automatic detection features. The main upgrades over the F500EXR is that this model includes a GPS receiver that stamps photos with location data which can then be used to organize, navigate, or even determine distance to the spot where a given photo was taken. Another upgrade is an anti-blur function, best suited for telephoto or low-light shots, which stitches together four similar images to reduce blurring. The high ISO also helps in lowlight or telephoto situations. This model has a modest price increase over the F500.

Features

15x optical zoom
24mm wide-angle Fujinon lens
27 scene presets
Auto-detect scene and flash
3.0-inch LCD monitor
Up to 12800 ISO

Lytro

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:09:39 -0400

The Lytro is a high-end portable digital camera which utilizes light field technology which allows for infinite focusing of any picture after it is taken. It also features an 8x optical zoom lens with a constant f/2 aperture, an aluminum body, instant on and instant shutter for ultra-fast image capture. Additionally, all images captured with the Lytro are inherently 3D, making each picture taken fully compatible with 3D displays.

The Lytro's light field technology captures the colour, direction and intensity of all light in a picture rather than just the light entering the lens like traditional digital cameras; this allows each picture to be focused and refocused after the fact as often as you want. Its light field technology also means that the Lytro has a practically instantaneous shutter speed since focusing beforehand is unnecessary. Meanwhile, the Lytro's aluminum body allows it to be both lightweight and sturdy.

Fujifilm FinePix F605EXR

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:00:36 -0400

The Fujifilm FinePix F605EXR digital camera is part of the new FinePix line. The F605EXR model is the little brother of the F600EXR but without the GPS navigation system. This model shares similar, advanced photo features including 16 megapixels and EXR-CMOS image sensor. New EXR auto with a motion detection function assists with reducing blur, even in low and poor lighting conditions. For blurring the camera also includes high ISO sensitivity and mechanical image stabilization, which works together. The camera is equipped with a 15x wide optical zoom lens. This guarantees that users can take a wide variety of shots from landscapes to tightly framed subjects. The camera's intelligent zoom can pick out objects far away and frame them close up, which is ideal for creative shots. The Fujifilm FinePix F605EXR will be available in four colors: red, black, white and gold.

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 19:32:48 -0500

The Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 is a mid-cost digital camera, a flagship offering. Casio promotes the EX-ZR100 as offering more features than you might expect from such a small design. The Exilim Engine HS (with dual core processors) allows for high-speed shooting (.37 second shot-to-shot time, thanks to its continuous shutter feature), as well as high-speed image processing. This engine is also capable of facilitating slow-motion video recording. The Exilim EX-ZR100's 24-300mm lens is wide-angle (and can be extended up to 600mm with Casio's High-speed SR zoom technology). This camera features a 12.1 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor with shift stabilization, which helps to ensure high-resolution images with low noise, even in dimly lit environments. This sensor also helps to reduce the blur associated with hand movement. The Exilim EX-ZR100 can capture 1920x1080 full HD video at 30 frames-per-second (fps) with continuous auto focus. This camera gives you the option of leveraging its full optical zoom and capture digital still images with high-speed burst shooting at 10MP while recording video. With burst shooting, you can capture thirty 10MP images at a maximum speed of forty shots per second. This model differs from the lower cost Exilim ZR-10 model in that the Exilim ZR-10 has a 7x optical zoom that can be extended up to 14x (whereas the Exilim EX-ZR100 has a 12.5x optical zoom that can be extended up to 25x), has a 28mm wide-angle lens, and lacks the EX-ZR100's Prerecord CS feature (which starts shooting video before you have fully pressed the shutter button, saving them to a continuously refreshed buffer). The Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 has a three inch LCD display on which all photos and video can be reviewed.
