Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9

2006-07-17T19:51:00.000-07:00

Sony is stepping up the picture quality of ultra-slim digital still cameras with the introduction of its new Cyber-shot ® DSC-T9 model, the first in this category to offer both Super Steady Shot ® optical image stabilization and high light sensitivity.
With these Sony technologies, the new six-megapixel DSC-T9 delivers more detailed images with significantly less blur and graininess than typical point-and-shoot cameras. Optical image stabilization reduces image blur from hand movement, while high light sensitivity helps to lessen blurriness resulting from low-light conditions. The end effect is better-focused, expressive images that look more like the way you see them, imitating the human eye.

The new model’s high light sensitivity (up to IS0 640) allows you to capture clearer pictures in available light, giving you the option to not use a flash, which sometimes creates unwanted glare or harsh highlights. As a result, images have greater atmosphere and more detail, even when reflective surfaces like glass and mirrors are in the pictures.
With a slim body less than one-inch wide, this compact powerhouse not only takes great pictures but also brings them to life with Sony’s new Clear Photo Plus ® LCD screen and slide show function. The 2.5-inch LCD features astonishing vividness and greatly improved color reproduction compared to previous models. It is the perfect screen to show off your pictures as a slide show, which the camera creates for you -- without having to use a PC.

The DSC-T9 camera offers mega resolution at six megapixels for high-quality images, a 3x Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar ® optical zoom lens, MPEG movie recording, and 58 MB of internal memory for storage and easy transfer to an optional Memory Stick ® Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media card, now available in capacities up to two gigabytes.
With the DSC-T9’s slide show feature, sharing your photos right on the camera’s LCD is more enjoyable. You can even connect directly to your television with supplied cables. However, if prints are what you want, then you can connect the model to a Sony DPP-FP50 digital photo printer and print from the convenience of your own home. Don’t think that you’re limited to basic prints with this camera; you can even create postcards or calendars using the printer’s supplied software.

Leica Digilux 2 - digital camera

2006-05-14T23:55:00.000-07:00

The new LEICA DIGILUX 2 camera combines the best of two worlds. In the new LEICA DIGILUX 2, modern digital technology and the proven concepts of traditional analog photography are joined in a harmonious combination: decisive photographic parameters such as sharpness, aperture, focal length and shutter speeds can be controlled like those on a classic single-lens-reflex camera by means of setting rings on the lens and a shutter speed dial.

To ensure the best pictorial results, the lens, the sensor and the electronics are optimally tailored to one another. The 2/3-inch CCD sensor is very large for its resolution of 5 million pixels. This combination of a high-performance lens and a large surface per picture element produces an extraordinary pictorial quality.

Canon Announces 8.3 Megapixel EOS 20D

2006-05-09T01:44:00.000-07:00

Canon today announced its newest digital SLR camera, the Canon EOS 20D. Replacing the immensely popular EOS 10D, Canon has made minor upgrades with the new 20D including a higher resolution 8.3 megapixel chip, faster shooting speeds, faster shutter speeds, all rolled into a smaller and lighter body.
With the introduction of their newest EOS digital SLR (spec sheet) Canon is hoping to target advanced amateurs, as well as professionals. According to Canon spokesperson Rudy Winston the new Canon EOS 20D will be appealing to portrait and wedding photographers because of its improved CMOS sensor (containing more pixels), and its 8.2 megapixel capabilities (as opposed to the 6.3 megapixels offered by the 10D). The camera produces stills at 3,504 x 2,336 pixel resolution.
A major upgrade of the EOS 20D over the EOS 10D is faster burst shooting modes. The EOS 20D will also demand attention from professional photojournalists with its shooting speed of 5 frames per second at bursts of up to 23 full quality images in a row. This almost doubles the 3 frames per second speed of the EOS 10D and more than doubles the limit of 9 images in a row.
Further catering to the professional market, the EOS 20D offers faster shutter speeds; with a top speed of 1/8000th as well as flash sync at 1/250th of a second (a step up from the 1/200th on previous Canon models). This compares to the top speed of 1/4000th on the EOS 10D.
The EOS 20D is now compatible with all Canon EF and EFS lenses,canon is also making available a kit for approximately $1,599 which includes an 18-55mm f/3.5-f5.6 EFS lens that can be stopped down to F/22.
In addition to upgrades on the camera itself Canon also added to their software package. Included in the 20D bundle will be Digital Photo Professional, a high-end RAW file processing program (previously only available with the Canon EOS Mark 1D), as well as Canon’s Remote Capture, EOS Viewer Utility, Photo Stitch, and Adobe Photoshop Elements.

The Canon EOS 20D has a 1.8 inch LCD screen, optical viewfinder with dioptic adjustment, and offers both manual and automatic focusing. It offers an ISO sensitivity range of 100-3200 and shutter speeds ranging from 30 seconds to 1/8000th of a second. It uses Compact Flash Type 1 and 11 storage cards and has USB 2.0 for transfer.

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1000

2006-04-27T00:06:00.000-07:00

The new EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z1000 packs a powerful punch in a sleek, compact package. Small enough to be held in the palm of the hand, this 10.1 megapixel digital camera still captures super high-resolution images that reproduce crystal-clear even in very large sizes—perfect for printing or on-screen viewing of those priceless, once-in-a-lifetime shots. This new model is the first in the series to incorporate a large 2.8 inch, wide and bright LCD display. CASIO makes the most of this extra screen space to offer great new functions like simultaneous viewing of a wide angle and a telephoto shot, and a convenient right side set of icon controls.
The EX-Z1000 has an effective 10.1 million pixels, powered by a large 1/1.8 inch format, high resolution CCD. Add the EXILIM Engine high-performance image processor, and the camera delivers highly expressive images and reproduces a wide tonal range.
The EX-Z1000’s LCD display is a large, crystal clear 2.8 inch monitor in an attractive wide format. This high-resolution, 230,400 pixel LCD displays images and data with outstanding clarity and fine detail. With a maximum brightness of 1200cd/m2, the EX-Z1000’s wide and bright display makes viewing in bright outdoor light easier than ever before.
