Samsung's TL9 Point-and-Shoot Camera Has Dual Analog Gauges

Outside of the TL34HD, Samsung released 3 other second-tier point-and-shoots: the TL9, SL310W and SL201. However, the most notable of these is definitely the 10 megapixel TL9 with its dual analog gauges that keep track of remaining battery life and memory capacity. More »

Question of The Day: What Do You Use to Take Your Photographs?

Like many people, I have a digital camera and a cameraphone—but I find myself taking most of my shots with my phone just because it is so convenient. This is true despite the fact that the 2-megapixel camera on the iPhone blows goats (and it won't be getting any better next time around). So, my question to you is, what device do you use to take most of your photographs? More »

Optio V20 from Pentax has 5x Zoom, Smile Recognition and Blink Detection

Six months after Pentax released the Optio V10, the japanese company has upped the stakes with the V20. The slimline point-and-shoot has upped the zoom from 3x to 5x, as well as increasing Digital SR mode to ISO 3200 and ISO 6400. With a nice, big 3-inch LCD screen on the back, smile recognition and blink detection, (Earl Hickey, this one's for you) the V20 will be available in Japan next month for the equivalent of $288 Bonus shot of the V20 after the jump.

Rugged Camera from Minox is Waterproof to 33 Feet and Just Rubbery

Manly and rugged outdoorsmen with small rucksacks might find Minox's DC6033 WP so far up their mountain path it's parked in their crevasse. Encased in rubber armor, the six-megapixel point-and-shoot camera is dust, dirt, sand and salt-proof, and you can take it underwater to a depth of 33 feet. More »

Samsung's i8 8.1-megapixel Point and Shoot Looks Slim, Rounded

It's not as techno-focused (read: male) as their NV-Series, but the i8 point-and-shoot seems like smooth number that fits nicely into your pocket. Available in pink and blue and white, it's got a 8.1-megapixel sensor, 2.7-inch LCD, 195MB internal memory, SD card, facial recognition, 3x optical zoom and anti-shake. We just really like how it looks. [Shiny Shiny via Crunchgear]

Best Point-and-Shoot Cameras of 2007

Not all of us like fitting a DSLR in our pants when we go on vacation, which is why DigitalCameraInfo's best point-and-shoot cameras is useful for just about everyone. They graded on different criteria, with the Fuji F50fd taking the prize in resolution, the Sony T100 in least image noise, the Canon A570IS in color accuracy, the Sony H7 in low light and the Canon S5 IS in video. There's no one camera that dominates more than one spot, so it's mostly up to you and where you'll snap pics to decide which P&S to buy. It's too bad DCI didn't rate how well these cameras can fit into a pocket, which is as important as anything else they tested for. [DigitalCameraInfo]

Unlock RAW Mode on Point and Shoot Canons

Some low-end Canon cameras actually share more than just the name and some internals with their high-end Canon DSLR brothers. They share DIGIC II image processing chips, which can support RAW format and some various other advanced features, and can be unlocked by getting a CHDK firmware onto the camera. The suite shouldn't destroy you phone like replacing a phone's firmware, but it's not going to enhance your pictures to DSLR levels either—most of that comes from the lens.

Casio Exilim EX-Z1200SR, a Smarter Me-Too Point and Shooter

What's this, worldwide 12-megapixel camera day? First we hear about Panasonic's 12.2-megapixel camera, and now Casio joins the fun with its Exilim EX-Z1200SR, a 12.1-megapixel point-and-shooter with a 2.8-inch viewscreen that's slightly larger than Panasonic's 2.5-incher, but with a slower rapid-fire shooting rate—just 3fps versus that blazing 8fps of the Panasonic model we mentioned earlier today. But this Casio is pretty smart, detecting moving objects and then setting the shutter speed and ISO accordingly. Neat stuff. More »

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100 Packs 12.2MP and 8fps Shooting

Panasonic rolled out its highest-end point-and-shoot digital camera, the Lumix DMC-FX100, and managed to pack 12.2 megapixels into its diminutive form factor. This one's built for speed, able to snap eight frames per second through its unusually wide 28mm f/2.8 lens with 3.6x optical zoom. And hey, the camera itself doesn't look half bad, either, and gives you a 2.5-inch viewscreen out back but lacks an optical viewfinder. More »

PMA 07: Olympus Stylus 770SW Frozen Into a Solid Block of Ice

When we saw this solid block of ice at the Olympus booth, we simply couldn't walk by, and we reached out and touched it just to make sure it was real. Hey, wait a minute, are those real cameras frozen inside there? Sure enough, a couple of Olympus Stylus 770SW digital point-and-shooters were temporarily entombed in that huge block of ice, implying that not only are they shockproof and waterproof (to 33 feet deep) but they're also freeze-proof. What an entertaining demo! More »

Pentax Optio A30 Boots Up, Shoots and Focuses Quicker

Pentax goosed its Optio A series with the A30, a 10-megapixel point-and-shoot camera with a 3x optical lens and a 2.5-inch LCD. Besides a newfangled gyro system to reduce shakiness, the big update on this one is speed, where it's ready to use in 1.8 seconds and has a quick .02-second shutter delay. If you take lots of shots of kids or sports, you know how important it is to have a quick reset, and its faster focus helps, too. More »

Samsung L77 Is One Skinny Shooter

Samsung's got quite a reputation with its improbably slim cellphones, and now it turns its expertise on the L77, a midrange point-and-shoot that it's calling the "world's thinnest 7-megapixel camera." No wonder it's called L77, because along with that 7-megapixel CCD, it has an unusually long 7x optical zoom as well. But the big news is its thin profile—just 21mm wide—and even with its diminutive size, it's still able to accommodate a 2.5 inch viewscreen on the back. More »

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z75: Easy to Use, Slim and Trim

If Casio's flagship point-and-shoot digital camera, the Exilim Zoom EX-Z1050 is going to break the bank at $451, take a look at its slightly less-capable family member, the Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 which will cost about $100 less than that. It's got 7.2 megapixels (instead of 10.1) and a 3x optical zoom while keeping a similar slim form factor and the 2.6-inch viewscreen of its more-capable sibling. More »
