Cameras

This looks like a small DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera while is not it does have a range of features such as a decent continuous shooting mode only normally found on DLSR units.

A 12MP mass market digital camera is still rare, a 5x zoom one even rarer, this offering from Kodak is both. Even with both those advantages it looks like a standard small digital camera.

This is a far better camera than it looks, yes it does use a pair of standard ‘AA’ batteries and the shape and styling is far from up to date but the resolution is fine and the zoom good.

Arriving as one of its first digital camera offerings in the UK is GE’s (General Electric Co) E1235 model.

This is quite a heavy camera but it is also a lot more as it also is an MP3 player and capable of displaying videos, it can also be a guide book, so far it has refused to do the washing up.

This is the first of the cameras from the GE camera launch in January. A new name in cameras so how will the units work out in practice, especially as they are the only manufacturer to promise one manual for all the models.

This camcorder is one of the latest versions that record to an internal hard drive, thus increasing the capacity vastly over other storage methods. It can of course also record still images onto an SD card.

This is the second offering I have seen in the Samsung NV range, the first the NV11 was wonderful but had one problem. Will this equally excellent picture and video taker have the same problem?

This is a very thin and very capable digital camera. I am however not sure why the name makes it sound like a secret project, maybe if the name was something more friendly.

This is the latest in the excellent Ixus digital camera range, in August 2006 the Ixus 700 won the rarely awarded 5x5 award. Does this latest offering live up to this rarely awarded accolade.

Having recently reviewed the i70 that had a superb User Guide this came as a huge shock to have one of the worst printed user manuals I have seen. Shame really as the camera and it’s abilities are superb should you ever get to know the NV11.

Yesterday in London GE launched a range of Digital Cameras. Here I will tell you about what this new entry into an already crowded market has to offer in the weeks and months to come.

This is one of a range of cameras launched at the start of the year. I have investigated a couple from the ‘S’ range and one from the ‘L’ range. Here one from the ‘i’ range and shortly one from the other range the ‘NV’.

Samsung have had two sets of digital cameras launched this year, here I am looking at the S85 the first I have seem from the most recent launch in August.

Not a name big in digital cameras but certainly the name for Instant prints as the Polaroid Instamatic was (and as far as I know still is) the name for instant pictures, here however a conventional digital camera.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder but would it be true as I take a look at a Creative webcam after a long break.

This is a powerful ‘intermediate’ user camera, more than point and shoot but a step down from a DSLR however it has 6x optical zoom and can take 12mega pixel images.

Having recently looked at a DSLR from Olympus this is the other end of the scale however not only is it small and has a decent zoom but it is also close to waterproof.

I remember seeing a very early Everio it did not have a hard disc but a MicroDrive I believe 4GB was possible. Here it has a full blown hard disc at 30GB that allows up to 37 hours recording.

Paper dresses were not the only items on display when Canon revealed its new product line-up.

The Olympus E-500 is a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera and I was sent it with a couple of lenses, the first a macro lens great for those close ups and the send a more general 14-45mm offering.

Following its acquisition by the Petters Group Worldwide in 2005, Polaroid has undergone a change, maybe not of image but certainly with its range of products.

This is totally different from almost any other digital camera I have reviewed as almost all the settings are adjusted from the TFT touchscreen, certainly a first for me.

Clutching his notebook (paper variety) our roving reporter preened himself before posing for a photographic session.

Smile please as Canon’s new entry level PowerShot camera blends various technologies into a lightweight body.

Like a lot of recent camcorders this records to mini (8cm) DVD’s either DVD-R or DVD-RW. This is the lowest specified of three almost identical offerings but don’t let that put you off.

This is certainly a camera small enough to slip into a shirt pocket, however do not let it’s lack of size make you think it is just another near entry level offering, it has hidden secrets.

This is a camera by Samsung from their ‘entry level’ ‘S’ series of cameras. However it has a number of features that are certainly not entry level but it still can be a point and shoot offering.

A name that has been in consumer electronics such an keyboards, watches and even handheld computers for many years but they are also a name in digital cameras.

This is one of the range of new cameras launched by Samsung at the start of February. It is one from their basic ‘S’ range. However only a year or so ago this would have been close to top of the range.
