Kodak announces new still and video cameras

Kodak announces new still and video cameras

Posted on Jan 10, 2012 by MG3

Kodak is unveiling two new cameras today, adding a model to both the EasyShare and PlayFull lineups. While certainly not the “reboot” we were hoping for from this company, the two cameras are at least pretty cool in their own right.
First up is the EasyShare Wireless, a b/g/n wi-fi equipped ultracompact capable of transmitting captured stills and videos to a nearby computer or wireless printer, without the need for cables or memory card swapping. iPhone tethering is also possible, which will allow remote data transfer from almost anywhere. Essential specs include a 16 megapixel CCD sensor (1/2.3-type), 5x optical zoom, ISO sensitivity up to 1600, and a full suite of in-camera effects and sce...

GE upgrades camera line, launches X600 with 25x zoom for $199.99

GE upgrades camera line, launches X600 with 25x zoom for $199.99

Posted on Jan 10, 2012 by MG1

GE's cameras got a top-to-bottom refresh today at CES 2012, with upgrades across its entire lineup of inexpensive point-and-shoot models. The new X600 has 25x optical zoom, and its DSLR-sized body also holds a 14.4-megapixel CMOS sensor, a 2.7-inch LCD, and 1080p video recording capability. There's some new HDR functionality as well, supporting up to six frames that get combined into one flawless (or awesomely bizarre) image. The best feature, though, as with all GE cameras, is its price: $199.99 is pretty hard to beat for such huge zoom. GE's other new cameras — the X550, G100, E1410SW, and C1440W — also received solid incremental upgrades, and none cost more than $159.99. GE's probably not...

Canon PowerShot G1 X announced: 1.5-inch sensor, ISO 12,800 for $799.99 in February

Canon PowerShot G1 X announced: 1.5-inch sensor, ISO 12,800 for $799.99 in February

Posted on Jan 09, 2012 by MG3

Canon's G series has long been the company's flagship point-and-shoot line, and the PowerShot G1 X the company just announced might be the best yet. The 14.3-megapixel shooter has a 1.5-inch (18.7 x 14mm) sensor, bigger than a Micro Four Thirds sensor and nearly as large as the APS-C sensors inside most DSLRs. (It's also 6.3 times larger than the sensor inside the PowerShot G12.) Canon says it's the largest sensor ever in a PowerShot camera, which might also explain why the G1 X is much more expensive than a typical point-and-shoot — it'll set you back $799.99 when it goes on sale in February. There's plenty inside for your money, though: ISO range up to 12,800, aperture range from f/2.8 to ...
