Canon XLh1 – Do Not Use to Take Video of Grandma

Canon’s new HD camera, the XLh1, looks like something that you can use to shoot your remake of “The 1,000 Blows” featuring drag queens and hand puppets. The folks at CamcorderInfo are live-blogging CanonExpo as we speak and they’re probably pumping their hands in the air, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more info…

Ricoh GR Digital – 8.1 Megapixels of Love

No production models are available yet, and pricing is a secret, but expect to…

Sony Busts Out the Cyber-shot M2

A lot of digicam freaks have been waiting for the M2 to drop and finally, it’s out. So what’s the big deal? It’s got a sexy aluminum case. As for still shots, it does 5.1MP which isn’t bad at all, and has a Pocket Album mode which allows you to store 1,100 VGA-quality stills on…

Digital Eye Wristwatch Camera

Chalk this one up as one of those spy gadget toys you’ve always wanted as a kid. The Digital Eye Wrist-watch Camera is a watch with, you guessed it, a built-in camera. Apparently there was a previous iteration of the wrist-watch camera (which we sadly did not know about), and this is a newer updated…

Sony’s 10.3 Megapix Cyber-shot

This digital not-quite-SLR packs a whopping 10.3 megapixels, has a 35mm-equivalence ZEISS zoom (24mm-120mm) lens. And what’s the sticker price on this beauty? Just $1,000. Integrated live previews while shooting make it less likely that you will miss the moment (or whine about slow refresh rates). And the 2-inch LCD screen is foldable, which means…

The Pod Replaces Tripods (And has Nothing to do with iPod, Thank God)

One of the worst hassles about having a tripod is that you have to carry it around everywhere. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have too much space in my messenger bag for a decent-sized tripod. The Pod, from the tripod experts at Bogen, aims to solve that by providing a simple and…

Leaf Mamiya 22 Megapixel Cam

I am noticing a trend in digital cameras similar to that of razors. Don’t get me wrong, my Gillette Mach 14 Enhanced Super Turbo Plus Exclamation Point razor gets the job done, with all 35 blades and seven moisturizing strips, but enough is enough. Two or three blades tops is all you really need in…

New Samsung MiniKet Cameras

Touted as “business card” cameras, these new Samsung MiniKet cameras are probably not slim enough to slip in your wallet, but definitely enough to avoid any pocket bulge. The VP-MS10, the VP-MS11, and the VP-MS11 are all pretty much the same: 5 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD, digital image stabilizer, MP3 and voice recorder,…

More Nikon Goodies

As we mentioned before, Nikon dropped five cameras today. We liked the P2 but the S3, an update of the ultra-slim S-line and the flippy S4 are both winning our hearts as well. Then you’ve got the Coolpix P1 with wireless connectivity (!!) and the L1 and L101, two standard shooters. Very nice line-up. http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/nikon/index.php#coolpix-takes-5-123375…

Low End Theory: Dollar Store Cellphones

Last Saturday, semi-buzzed on a few Red Stripes, I went for an afternoon stroll in my local park. There, per the usual, I was gently accosted by a guy slanging homebrew DVDs. I paid his sales pitch no mind until he offered up Carlito’s Way: Rise to Power. The straight-to-DVD prequel is scheduled for a…

Hitachi DZ-GX20A DVD Camcorder Reviewed (Verdict: Nope)

As reviewer David Elrich points out, Hitachi may be spreading itself a bit too thin. Their latest camcorder offering is quite sub-par with poor 2-megapixel pictures and, worst of all, bad video. I mean you can make bullet trains but you can’t make a camcorder that takes good video? For shame, Hitachi. Hitachi DZ-GX20A [DesignTechnica]

Low End Theory: DigiCams Now Cheaper Than Zantac

The first camera I ever owned, back when the Nicaraguan Contras were front-page news, was a Kodak Disc—the 3600, if I’m not mistaken. My parents thought I was intelligent and responsible enough to take care of a high-tech machine; little did I know that they d scooped up the unit at a church swap meet,…

Sanyo Xacti DSC-S6

The Sanyo Xacti is cool because it has a “touch sensitive” shutter button. I know, smartass, all buttons are touch sensitive. But this one requires no pressing. You just tap it and it takes the picture, reducing the picture taking speed considerably and generally making life easier for you and me. Specs? Yeah, we got…
