Today Nikon announced their refresh for the Coolpix line by adding the P100, L110, L22, and S3000, S4000, S6000, S8000 compacts. The P90 is to cede to the P100, and it looks like it’ll be a doozie of an upgrade. The Nikon Coolpix P100 will have a 10.3 megapixel back-lit CMOS sensor and a [...]

I bought the special edition 2-disc edition of Robert Rodriguez’ cinematic adaption of Frank Miller’s Sin City when it was released in 2005. Among my favorite features (before even watching it all in Green Screen or Bruce Willis and the Accelerators performing “Gypsy Woman”) is Robert Rodriguez’ 10-minute cooking school, a brilliant tutorial in making [...]

Sony trots out the 3.5″ (diagonal) touch-screen driven DSC-TX7, arrival on shelves TBA. It sports the backlit Exmor R sensor, which should allow for better low-light imaging than competitors’ sensors. They’re hi-lighting the new hardened glass cover over the touch-screen, purportedly twice as strong as the T90’s screen, the 10 frames in one second function, [...]

Just call it the bloggie (TM) -it’s a lot friendlier to your mouth than “MHS-PM5,” which sounds a little like something just waiting to close down schools and introduce an aporkalyptic prophecy logo on national news networks. Derek, by the way, was near trilling with excitement over a product called “bloggie” from a big-name manufacturer.

Canon’s covering their bases in HD camcorders this year. Three each in three ranges: There’s the flagship line of HF S with the HF S21, HF S20, and HF S200, the Compact line of HF M featuring the HF M31, HF M30, and HF M300, and the budget conscious HD user’s line of HF R [...]

Today we get wind of the new Canon 70-200 2.8L IS the version II. Boasting a closer minimum focus distance than its predecessor (1.2m/3.94 ft vs 1.3m / 4.3 ft.) and a purported 4-stops of Optical Image Stabilization against the 3-stop of the version I. Hot diggity it’s exciting, but no word this morning of [...]

While I think it sounds like an advanced model of Sean Young’s role in Blade Runner, it’s really a new mirrorless interchangeable lens compact from Samsung. Competing with Olympus and Panasonic for small size and a narrow profile it sports a 14.6MP APS-C sized CMOS sensor (not the 4/3 size of the Oly or Panny), [...]
