Hidden Camera Stuffed Animals: Spying On Your Kids is Fun

Making my way through the bowels of South Hall to an appointment today, I stumbled across a booth full of cutesy stuffed animals. On closer inspection, I discovered that under that adorable face hides a USB camera. It’s the perfect gift for surreptitious parents to give their misbehaving kids, as nothing helps you justify punishment…

Camcorderette: Mustek DV700TZ

It’s almost like a transformer, this $299 Mustek DV700TZ, unfolding into a tiny camcorder that’ll fit into the tiniest spaces. If moving images aren’t necessary, it’s also a 7-megapixel still camera. Check out the specifics. – Charlie White

The Cameras of CES

Wedged between the biannual Photokina show last September and the annual PMA show this coming February, CES is not the best place to find new camera announcements. Absent from the action are heavyweights Canon, Nikon, and Pentax—and even some middleweights like Panasonic. But some of the scrappier little vendors made a few waves to fill…

Camcorders: HD for Consumers, SD is Hip Again (Kinda)

This is what Canon had to offer. After visiting six hours worth of camcorder manufacturers, here are the top five camcorders that have piqued my interest so far. 5. Sony HDR-UX7 Not innovation, just solid delivering. 3MP CMOS, 6.1MP stills, records to DVD in the MPEG4 AVCHD format. And a massive 3.5″ screen. 4. Hitachi’s…

Casio’s V7 is a Slim Shaker

I got a quick hands-on with Casio’s one new camera announcement at CES—the EX-V7 that features a 7X internal optical zoom and Casio’s first antishake mechanism via a moving CCD. Quite impressve is the camera’s slimness. It’s not bulimic skinny, but it’s quite trim- considering all the gear it houses inside. Photo quality was meh.…

More About Samsung’s Cameras

We got to feel up Samsung’s new digicams today. The flaks even let us take some sample shots—despite the cameras being very pre-production. Photos taken with the 10-megapixel S1050 didn’t show any big problems at least. 10 megapixels is likely overkill, so you could pay $100 less ($250) and get almost all the same features…

Samsung SD Camcorder Line: What Could Have Been

There may have been rumors of great things from Samsung in the world of HD camcorders, but instead we’ve been left with a small product line upgrade of their DVD, Mini-DV and flash-based offerings. However, their SC-X300L (but you may know it as the Sports Camcorder from when it w) is still an interesting camcorder…

First Grope: Fufifilm F40fd

Fujifilm announced the F40fd (at left) a few days before CES, and we got our first chance today to fondle it. The biggest improvement from its predecessor is the slimmer figure.

Fujifilm Accepts SD Card, Gravity, Round Earth

Fujifilm makes some great cameras. Their low-light performance and color vibrancy can be stunning. But every review I write has to have the caveat “requires dorky, expensive xD memory cards.” No more! Fujifilm and SD are now good buds.

I just got some hands-on time with Hitachi’s Hyrbid DVD/HDD DZHS300A combo camcorder.
