Kodak Easyshare Z612 Digital Camera Review
The offers users a nice balance of prosumer flexibility, advanced features, and P S (point and shoot) ease of use.
How does the Z612 stack up against its competition? Overall, the Z612 has more warts than a bullfrog, but in the end it s all about the pictures and when it counts and where it counts (except for macro) the Z612 delivers.

Nikon D80 Pictures Unveiled
Remember the new Nikon DSLR that is expected to launch on August 9th? Looks like we found some real pictures of it, which seem to be leaked from their Nikon Europe website.
The new model will be name Nikon D80, not the D90 (50, 70, 90, get the drift?) that some of you might have guessed. [ ]

Today s speed record for fastest CompactFlash writes set by: SanDisk. Their new SanDisk Extreme IV come in sizes up to 8GB, and offer speeds of at least 40MBps, not to mention the extreme environmental conditions they can suffer through (-13 F to 185 F).
The cards are surprisingly affordable, however, weighing in at $160 for the 2GB, $320 for the 4GB, and $640 for the 8GB. Perhaps it s overkill for your puny mid-range DSLR, but from the looks of it you d probably hang on to this memory card a lot longer than your average digital camera.
Kodak Easyshare P712 Digital Camera First Thoughts
The is a new addition to Kodak s Performance line of digital cameras.

Cardboard SLR Camera
Why spend hundreds, when you could make a SLR camera out of cardboards? Oh, because the wind might blow your camera away.
But that s not going to stop a certain anonymous shutterbug from spending hours building his/her very own cardboard SLR camera. Of course, the camera does not come with any fancy technology, and it uses a [ ]

Gauging Age With Cameras Red-Eye Effects
Unless you are some pro photographer, you ve probably seen those dreadful red-eye effects in some of your pictures taken with flash. Because of the intensity of most camera flashes, any reflection off the retina of the subjects eyes shows up as red-eyes in the resulting picture. So what does it has to do with gauging a [ ]

If you re wondering who the heck Voigtlaender is, rest assured you aren t missing out on much. The German-based company s Virtus D8 digicam is about as , sporting no standout features and a long list of mediocre specs.
The only thing mildy impressive about the 8.1 megapixel camera is its compact size and of course its outlandish name. Essentially like every other average compact, you ll get a 2.
5-inch display screen, 3x optical zoom, meager ISO settings, a 640 x 480 video mode, and an SD slot that only accepts cards up to 1GB. More realistically, we presume this is just another digicam with for its own good, and priced at around $430, we don t envision many enthusiasts rushing out to grab such an underwhelming offering.

Oh ! You kidder, you. The popular pro-cam manufacturer is prepping a new DSLR, and has upped a little teaser on their site referring to the Next Nikon.
Beyond the usual marketing hyperbole of More power, More control, More versatile and More excitement, Nikon lets slip the megapixel count: 10.2, and the release date: 20 days from now. Word on the street is that the mystery cam will be a replacement to the , and the 10.
2 megapixels will be one welcome improvement from the 6.1 megapixels of the D70.
Sony s new Handycam DCR-SR80, DCR-SR60 and DCR-SR40 hard drive camcorders Sony s all out assault on the marketplace didn t stop with those of theirs, they ve also got three new standard definition Handycam units to show off.
The DCR-SR80 leads the pack with a 1 megapixel CCD, 60GB drive, 2.7-inch widescreen viewfinder, 12x optical zoom, a hot shoe, and $800 price tag; the DCR-SR60 is essentially the same unit as the SR80, but with a 30GB drive and $700 price; the DCR-SR40 features a 40GB drive, 20x optical, 2.5-inch 4:3 aspect ratio touchscreen viewfinder, and $600 price point.
All are due September, during which time we d roughly estimate they d vanish from store shelves in short order.
certainly isn t new to the budget-DSLR scene, and its K100D is another fairly affordable offering into the single-reflex lens world. When we first a few months back, our biggest excitement stemmed from the more manageable naming system, but ePhotoZine actually found quite a bit more to love about the K100D than the refreshing model name.
While this unit is an awful lot like the , that s actually not such a bad thing. The most substantial update to the 6.1 megapixel camera is the CCD-shift a first in the Pentax DSLR lineup that presumably helps reduce blur in moving and low-light situations (i.
e. OIS). Reviewers found the system beneficial, but poorly implemented nonetheless; there s no visual indication the system is actually working or how effective it is until you view the finished image, which isn t exactly useful in the field.
Also, the camera had a tough time digesting more than 3 RAW shots in succession, often forcing the operator to wait until the buffer was clear before shooting could resume. However, if those two relatively professional complaints won t apply to you, the K100D produced excellent images and was said to perform well for its price point. While the 2.
5-inch display, sturdy enclosure, 200 to 3200 ISO settings, and impressive 11-point AF system were viewed quite fondly, it should be noted that your CF cards aren t welcome here, as only the SD format is accepted, and 4 AA batteries are used in favor of a proprietary cell. But if you ve been chomping at the bit to grab a DSLR on the cheap, and you can live with the, um, unstable anti-shake system, you can snag the K100D now with a bundled 18-55mm lens for $699.99.

It was only a matter of time before helmet-mounted sports cams , and if you ve been tapping your foot at cutting the cable your wait is up with their new SC-X205WL and SC-X210WL. These devices are essentially the same as their wired counterparts: 512MB internal memory on the X205WL and and 1GB on the X210WL, both featuring the same 2.
0-inch display, 680k pixel (720 x 480) CCD, 10x optical zoom, and image stabilization (on the full unit, anyway), as well as the obligatory SD slot for recording that MPEG-4 video. Expect em in September for $580 and $680, which is a steep price to pay for those whose finances are probably tied up mending broken bones.

Not that a top-5-percenter like yourself really needs your gear to set itself up, but it s always a nicety to save yourself a few minutes doing the configuration dance when your device can do it for you. s new HNC290G Net-Vision 802.11g wireless camera does that whole UPnP thing to throw up its live 30fps video stream automagically, making it ever easier for you to surveil your abode (or, if need be, surveil someone else s).
