Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX9

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:10:31 -0500

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX9 is one of five 3D-compliant digital cameras released together in early 2011. Unlike the DSC-WX10, it uses a 25mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x optical-zoom lens that’s better geared for group or landscape shots. In addition, it downgrades from 1080/60p to 1080/60i, though that’s still a fairly high resolution. Featured is a 16.2MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor, a 3” LCD display, and support for 3D still-image capture. Since the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX9 is especially designed for panorama shots, it hosts an iSweep Panorama function wherein the user merely pans the landscape and lets the camera do the rest.

Additional Information

All five models (DSC-TX10, DSC-TX100V, DSC-HX7V, DSC-WX10, DSC-WX9) use a single lens and imager to produce 3D still images. They do this by taking two consecutive pictures in different focus positions. These images are then combined to create a 3D effect.

The Exilim EX-10HG, announced to be available from October 2010, is a digital camera that is Casio's attempt to break the mold on what a camera should be. Instead of just taking pictures, the camera is capable of figuring out its own location anywhere on the planet. Like the Exilim EX-H10, the Exilim EX-10HG is capable of geo-tagging, marking photos with their location, but unlike the older camera, this feature has been upgraded and modified so that it operates indoors and in congested areas. It works this way by using three-axis accelerometers and an orientation sensor which estimates the location based off of the last known point when a GPS location was still available. Though there aren't any reviews yet stating how accurate this feature is, no other cameras on the market or announced for the future claim this capability.

Features

Hybrid GPS
Three-axis accelerometers
Orientation Sensor
Indoor location fixes
Includes GPS navigation (no further details as of Feb 2010)

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9

Tue, 17 Apr 2007 17:25:35 -0400

With the massive growth in digital cameras, the market is becoming further segmented and specialized to appeal to very specific niches. The H9 and H7 from Sony are targeted directly towards the family with star athletes that want to capture all of those TSN Turning Points. Sony has engineered many features to accommodate the unique requirements that sport photos demand.

Most significant out of these new features is the Carl Zeiss (used in all Sony digital cameras) 15x optical zoom which is a substantial improvement over the previous high-end standard of 10x optical. To deal with the associated blur that comes with such an extreme zoom, Sony uses their Super Steady Shot technology which they claim achieves image stability without having to crop the picture like other anti-blur systems do.

Sony has also incorporated their high-end video processing chips into these cameras which increases the speed at which pictures can be taken and processed. The H9 and H7 have ISO3200 which lets you take pictures in low light without flash to minimize blur. Combining the fast processing with new predictive technology Sony is introducing an advanced sport shooting mode to take up to 100 continuous shots at frame-rate of 2.2 pictures per second.

For 2007 the H9 and H7 are the only cameras released by Sony that feature a new technology called NightShot which apparently uses infrared technology to capture pictures in situations with almost no light. Other features include a tilting LCD lens, recognizing up to 8 faces, and a high definition output port (custom cable sold separately) to view images directly on the TV.

Differences between H9 ($480) and H7 ($400)

The H9 features a 3" tilting LCD screen, while the H7's screen comes in at a smaller 2.5" and does not tilt.

Nikon Coolpix S4100

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:00:36 -0500

The Nikon Coolpix S4100 is a lower mid-cost digital camera. The CCD image sensor of this camera runs at fourteen megapixels, which means that you can make poster sized 330dpi prints of images taken on the Coolpix S4100. Though this sensor is powerful for a camera in this price range, it is not at the level of the higher cost Coolpix S6100's sixteen megapixel sensor. Another way in which these two models differ is in the power of their optical zoom. While the S4100 sports a 5x optical zoom, the S6100 has a 7x optical zoom, which will provide more detailed subjects from afar. A feature shared by both the S4100 and the S6100 is the ability to record 720p HD video, with stereo sound, at the touch of a button.

Samsung ST6500

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:52:16 -0500

The Samsung ST6500 is one of five low to medium-end, ST series digital cameras released together in early Spring 2011. The top unit in the series, the ST6500 is the only to host an angled design and curved body that is more ergonomic and therefore easier to hold and use. Otherwise, it is in many respects a duplicate of the ST95, which too hosts a 16MP sensor for clear images, a wide 5x lens for obtaining a better field of view, and a touchscreen display. In particular, the 3” multi-purpose LCD display works with Samsung’s Smart Touch 3.0 User Interface, allowing users to navigate menus and make selections. The key feature on the ST6500 and its peers is Smart Auto, a technology capable of automatically reconfiguring the camera’s settings for every shot, depending on the user selection (there are 16 modes to choose from). This helps ensure that every picture taken comes out perfect.

Samsung ST95

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:52:15 -0500

The Samsung ST95 is one of five low to medium-end, ST series digital cameras released together in early Spring 2011. Building from the ST30, ST65, and ST90, the superior ST95 hosts a wider 27mm lens so users can better capture more details via a deeper image perspective, a more powerful 14mm sensor for crisper and sharper images, and support for the H.264 codec. In particular, the added codec means users can record longer videos that take up the same amount of space as shorter videos stored in the older MPEG-4 and MJPEG formats. Like its peers, the Samsung ST95 can capture high quality 720p videos, after which users can view them on the camera’s 3” display, add artistic effects to them, or even transfer them to a computer so they can share them with friends and family members. The biggest difference, however, between the ST95 and its predecessors is its display, which has touchscreen functionality, so users can access menus by just using their fingertip.

Wed, 05 Jan 2011 18:12:02 -0500

The Fujifilm FinePix AV230/AV235 is one of eight compact digital cameras added to the FinePix ‘A’ series in 2010. Both it and the Fujifilm FinePix AV280/AV285 build from the first two in the ‘AV’ sub-series (AV200/AV205, AV250/AV255) with the addition of a larger 3.0” LCD monitor for playing back content in various conditions. It however maintains a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens, unless the 5x lens in the ‘AX’ sub-series. In particular, the AV230/AV235 is the weaker of the two, as it sports a 14MP CCD sensor. It otherwise maintains the same features, such as Smart Recognition Auto for scene selections, fave detection, and automatic focus, exposure, and white balance management.

Leica M9

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:03:44 -0400

The Leica M9 is a professional camera that claims to be the world's smallest full-frame system camera. It is an improvement on its predecessor, the M8, with a minor button re-arrangement and major internal changes such as a Kodak-developed CCD sensor with improved offset microlenses to optimize performance at the edges of the frame. The Leica M9 sports a sensor cover with improved filtering of infrared light making lens-mounted IR filters a thing of the past. The 35mm film-sized sensor means that the original intended field of view is provided. The Leica M9 features a microprocessor-controlled, silent, metal-leaf, focal-plane shutter that has shutter speeds of up to 1/4000 seconds. One additional nice thing about owning a Leica camera is that Leica is committed to compatibility, which means that almost all M lenses built since 1954 can still be used on the new M9.

Samsung NV100HD

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 10:19:15 -0400

The Samsung NV100HD (known as TL34HD inside the USA) is a point and shoot compact digital camera with multiple functions, built for HD video capabilities and high resolution photographs. It is sold in the United States as the Samsung TL34HD. It is a powerful compact digital camera with a resolution of 14.7 megapixels and a Schneider 3.6x optical lens. In addition, the 3 in. LCD viewer is a touch screen for ease of use. Many reviewers have found that this small camera has all the features that an advanced user would need. The camera comes with face and blink detection allowing every portrait to have the correct part of the photo in focus as described by a product reviewer. Samsung presents this camera as a step up above the NV24HD which was highly acclaimed by many for its touch screen technology. With its 28 mm wide angle lens and the high camera resolution, the NV 100HD offers poster size prints at full resolution. One disadvantage of the touchscreen LCD is that you can't make manual adjustments while you line up the shot. One advantage however is the two image stabilizers to eliminate jumping when filming fast objects. As one reviewer said, this camera is ideal for someone looking for high quality results in a digital camera that you can slip in your pocket.

Despite the potential limitations of its short zoom range (3.6x), the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 offers a host of features aimed to capture the attention of serious photographers. While the camera does offer point-and-shoot scene modes for quick snapshots, it adds options usually found only in the high-end price range or in dSLR models. The DMC-FX150 can capture images as RAW files (versus JPG , the typical file format for compact digital cameras). RAW files hold much more data and allow for higher quality images, but must be processed using software, making RAW photography a more labor-intensive process. The combination of a Leica lens, high resolution sensor and RAW file format will interest serious hobbyists looking for an alternative to a dSLR.

Features:

14.7 megapixel CCD sensor
3.6x zoom Leica lens
RAW image format (essentially a "digital negative" that is entirely unprocessed by the camera and requires "developing" with software)
Shoots HD video
Optical image stabilization
Self-timer
Battery: Proprietary rechargeable
Dimensions: 2.12'' x 3.8'' x .98''

Nikon Coolpix P300

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:00:36 -0500

The Nikon Coolpix P300 is a mid-cost digital camera. In promotion, Nikon emphasizes the fact that this camera is equipped with manual controls, so that you have creative capturing options. The four exposure modes are: Programmed Auto (P), Shutter-priority (S), Aperture-priority (A) and Manual (M). No matter what mode you choose, the images are captured with this camera's 12.1 megapixel back illuminated CMOS image sensor, which can capture scenes in bright daylight or atmospheric dimness. Thanks to the CMOS sensor, high-quality (300dpi) prints can be made in poster size from this camera. On the video side of things, this camera is capable of capturing 1080p HD video with stereo sound at the press of a button. Though this model differs from the higher cost Coolpix P500 in a variety of ways, the most conspicuous way is in its optical zoom, where its 4.2x is dwarfed by the Coolpix P500's 36x.

Samsung PL20

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:00:33 -0500

The Samsung PL20 is a lower mid-cost compact digital camera. In promotion, Samsung emphasizes the ease of use and affordability of this camera (as well as the closely related ES80 model, which is a slightly cheaper model with lower grade features). The fourteen megapixel CCD image sensor of this camera, which allows you to make 330dpi poster sized prints, is more powerful than most cameras in this price range. The 5x optical zoom of this camera allows you to capture detailed close ups as well as clear group shots. On the video side of things, the Samsung PL20 is capable of capturing 720p HD video, which is one of the features that puts it above the ES80 in terms of price.

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 500 HS is a touch-enabled compact digital camera announced in February 2010. Like its peers, the ELPH 100 HS and ELPH 300 HS, the ELPH 500 HS camera offers 12.1 still image capture and 1080p HD video shooting. Unlike them, however, the Canon ELPH 500 hosts a touchscreen panel for focusing and navigating the menu with the swipe of a finger. Also included is a 24mm wide-angle, 4.4x optical zoom lens. The biggest upgrade on the ELPH 500 is the Smart AUTO system, a new Canon technology that can automatically adjust all photo/video settings based on what scene is chosen (32 available).

Pentax Optio W90

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:06:17 -0500

The Pentax Optio W90 is a compact digital camera that is waterproof, shockproof, coldproof, and dustproof. Featured is a 12.1MP CCD sensor; a 28mm wide-angle, 5X optical zoom lens; and a 2.7” LCD display with a widescreen aspect ratio. As an entry-level camera, the W90 camera can capture 720p high-definition video, but only in Motion JPEG (vs AVCHD). Also included are a myriad of preset scenes and settings (e.g., 9-Point AF, Face Detection, Blink Detection), an autofocus lamp for quickly and accurately focusing in difficult lighting conditions, and an HDMI output. Unfortunately, is limited by a short-life battery, the inability to capture moving objects without encountering blurs, and a badly placed Flash (it’s right where people put their finger to hold the camera).

Samsung ST30

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:52:15 -0500

The Samsung ST30 is one of five low to medium-end, ST series digital cameras released together in early Spring 2011. The weakest in the bunch, the ST30 offers no HD video recording capabilities, though it does support low resolution videos and voice recordings. It also hosts an ultra compact frame for easily storing it in a pocket like a phone, a rechargeable battery so users don’t have to keep buying new batteries, and a 28mm lens with a 3x optical zoom. The latter works with a 10MP CCD sensor to allow the ST30 to capture high quality photos with a deeper perspective and sharper pixels than a conventional entry-level camera. Also featured are a bevy of advanced functions. Smart Auto automatically optimizes settings for every shot, face detection automatically focuses the camera on the faces of loved ones and friends, and digital image stabilization evens out skin tones, erases blemishes, and removes dark circles.

Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:37:54 -0500

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27 is a point-and-shoot digital camera designed to be as easy and intuitive to use as possible. This is nearly identical to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25, but includes Touch-control Shooting mode that allows a subject to be selected for auto-focus without releasing the shutter right away. It also includes Touch Playback Control, which offers enhanced video playback functionality. Apart from that they are the same, with a 16.1 megapixel CCD and an 8x Optical Zoom that is enhanced by digital processes to extend as far as 18x. The camera is capable of tracking moving subjects with auto-focus when they are selected on the 3 inch LCD touchscreen, and can zoom in automatically when a subject is selected.

Kodak EasyShare Sport

Thu, 06 Jan 2011 18:31:45 -0500

The Kodak EasyShare Sport is a budget-friendly, waterproof compact digital camera released in 2011. The camera can withstand dirt, dust, sand, and up to 10’ of water. It’s however mainly a limited-use camera, as it relies on a fixed focus lens with a 5x digital zoom—which means there is no optical zoom. Plus it cannot resist shocks or freezing weather. It is however portable, and it works off AA batteries. Other features include the ability to record VGA videos at 30fps, a bevy of scene & color modes, and Kodak’s Smart Capture technology. There’s also a zoom locker and a 2.4” display, both of which are located on the backside.

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 18:27:16 -0400

The Canon PowerShot SX30IS is a high-end point-and-shoot camera set to be released in September, 2010. According to the manufacturer, this is the world’s first camera with a 35x zoom lens. Also featured is a 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor, the same type commonly found in competing point-and-shoots. This camera will be able to produce exquisite detail at full magnification, but amateur photographers looking to capture far away subjects will likely find this PowerShot to be of use.

Samsung ST600

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:02:07 -0400

The Samsung ST600 is one of two front-facing, DualView compact P&S cameras (ST100, ST600) released in summer 2010. As upgrades from the TL225 and TL220, both units host a larger 1.8” front-side LCD, a large 3.5” back-side touchscreen display, a 14.2MP sensor with ISO 3200 sensitivity, and 720p video capture. The ST600 is a more direct upgrade (especially from the TL225) in that it hosts a similar body (though more rounded/sleek). Plus it maintains its predecessor’s 27mm wide-angle focal length, though it hosts an improved 5x optical zoom. Compared to the ST100, the Samsung ST600 is less compact, though it too hosts a gesture-driven touchscreen interface options, smart face recognition (up to 6 manual, 14 automatic), a couples mode that releases the shutter when two faces tilt toward each other, and a ‘jump shot mode’ that alerts subjects when to jump in unison.
