Nikon D40 DSLR is Tiny, 6MP, with 3200 ISO: Eeess Nice

Nikon officially unveiled the D40 today, a new budget DSLR worth your attention. First off, they've stopped upping the megapixel count, and have left it alone with a 6MP CCD, which is fine, because I don't shoot above that anyhow for the web or personal images. Then it has a 3200 ISO rating making for terrific low light performance. Canon's competing Rebel XTi only goes up to 1600, for example, so the Nikon gets an extra stop. It'll shoot at 2.5 per second, and there's in camera retouching of red eye, shadow and highlight enhancement, and others. It uses SD cards, which is nice, because I've got a whole lot of em lying around. And the body itself is small, yet packs a 2.5-inch LCD. More »

Casio Calms Quivering Hands with New Exilims

We've always been fans of Casio's Exilim cameras (they're great cams for our Luddite family members) and now it seems Casio is updating the family with a 7-megapixel Exilim EX-Z7 and a 6-megapixel EX-Z6. Both cams are gonna be fitted with a 2.5-inch LCD and 3x optical zoom and if you have quaky hands like us, both shooters will also have anti-shake image stabilization built-in. Pricing hasn't been set yet, but we're already biased toward the EX-Z7. Take a look at the unborn EX-Z6 after the jump. More »

That Loch Ness of Digital SLRs, the Nikon D200, has finally emerged from the rumor swamp.
