So we all remember the “That Got a Hemi” Commercials right? Well this years  “Hemi” in  digital cameras is High Definition output. The higher end DSLR’s have HDMI slots on them along with standard video outputs so you (and hopefully your high paying clients) can view the images you shoot at their pristine best. Now, some DSLR cameras; notably the “Hot New” Canon Digital SLR camera the 5D MkII, and the advanced amature Nikon Digital SLR camera, the D90 actually record High Definition Video: both firsts for interchangeable lens still cameras. I’m not the only one to notice this inevitable trend here is a link to a recent USA today article.

For the past couple of years Sony Cybershot Cameras have enjoyed HD output with an accessory HDMI cable.  But that’s to be expected from the worlds largest electronics company, it’s in their DNA.
Now, more point and shoot cameras are adding HD output and even better HD video recording. Panasonic and Leica have it in the LX3 and D-Lux 4 respectively, and Canon’s SX 1 has it as well.  Expect to see more High Definition video and output on the next generation of DSLR and lens shutter point ad shoot cameras.
It’s the future, it’s electric.
