Manufacturer Description

Compact and stylish, the Samsung S860 digital camera features a 3x optical zoom, a Samsung SHD lens, and Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) to help minimize the effect of camera shake and produce sharp, clear images, especially in low-light environments. You can also take advantage of advanced features such as Face Detection and Self Portrait mode.

Face Detection technology makes taking pictures of family and friends a snap, as it detects up to nine faces and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality. Self Portrait mode is a unique functionality that takes the guessing out of taking a self portrait. By utilizing Face Detection technology, the S860 automatically detects the subject's face, adjusts focus and exposure, and will only allow a photo to be taken if the subject is centered in the frame.

Self Portrait mode

You can also benefit from the camera's Function Description feature. Designed to reduce the intimidation factor of the cameras' various modes, Function Description automatically provides a brief and easy to understand description of each setting when scrolling through the cameras' menus, helping the end-user determine which setting is appropriate for their current shooting scenario. Additionally, with 11 scene modes to choose from, including Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-Up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow, and Self Portrait, shooters can rest assured that they'll be able to effortlessly adjust the camera.

The S860 also boasts a special effects "E" button, which gives users instant access to a host of creative controls, including options for resizing and rotating images, adjusting brightness, contrast and saturation levels, fixing red eye, and manipulating color such as saving captured images as B&W, Sepia, Red, Blue, Green, and Negative. Users can also shoot video with the S860. Movie mode lets users capture video in one of two resolutions, 320x240 or 640x480, at 30 frames per second in AVI (MJPEG) format. Just as in still-picture mode, the DIS image stabilization system can be engaged to compensate for camera shake and to reduce blur.

For maximum versatility, the S860 can be powered by two, readily available AA alkaline batteries, a considerable benefit for travelers and photographers on the go.

Fujifilm Finepix Z20fd 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Hot Pink)

Fujifilm Finepix Z20fd 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Hot Pink)

>> Buy this item or more Information

<You Save: $35.00 (22%) >

Continuing the tradition started by its stylish predecessor, the FinePix Z10fd, the FinePix Z20fd is a new, ultra-glam digital camera packed with useful features that let you face it, beam it, blog it and now roll it with a new MPEG-4 movie recording mode for the movie-crazed among us.

The 10-megapixel FinePix Z20fd features an ultra-portable design, a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5-inch LCD screen, and packs 45MB of internal memory to give you some extra room when your memory card is full. The style-savvy FinePix Z20fd also introduces Fujifilm’s handy new Dual Blog Mode that automatically resizes any still image or movie you've captured, letting you post pictures and videos to blogs, video-sharing websites like YouTube, or e-mail to friends with ease.

Face Detection in action

Automatic Red-Eye Removal

As with the FinePix Z10fd, the Z20fd also allows picture takers to Face It with Fujifilm’s innovative Face Detection Technology with Automatic Red Eye Removal for capturing the ultimate group shots and Beam It with Fujifilm’s IrSimple technology to share the image instantly with friends. A one-touch selectable mode that identifies up to 10 human faces in a scene, Face Detection Technology sets the correct focus for a chosen primary face and exposure for all detected faces automatically, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. After the shot is taken, each detected face is instantly checked for red eye; if found, it is corrected automatically, saving the time consuming process of fixing it later. Fujifilm’s IrSimple technology allows for fast, easy wireless image transfer to any IrSimple-equipped device.

Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization Technology uses higher sensitivities -- up to ISO 1600 in the Z20fd -- and faster shutter and operational speeds, that help reduce camera shake, allowing photographers to capture the moment just as it was meant to be captured.

This high-style camera can also Roll It with an impressive Movie mode, capturing full motion MPEG4 video with the touch of a separate movie shutter button. Using the Successive Movie mode, in-camera editing allows for the creation of a 60-second movie clip, even when shooting in two or more scenes is desired. Start and restart multiple times to build a 60-second compilation, and edit the start and end points.

Movie Mode makes it simple to capture and share clips

Additional Features

Dual shutter releases One button for still capture, one for movie record, for ease of use.

i-Flash Intelligent Flash i-Flash detects subtle lighting differences within a scene, and then varies the flash intensity accordingly. It also leverages the high sensitivity of the Z20fd to enable the camera to use less flash, preventing that "blasted with light" effect that so many digital camera flashes leave you with. The result is pleasing, natural tones with no flash "wash-out."

Micro Thumbnail View Clear 10 x 10 array on the big display makes navigating photos easy!

Dual Shot mode In this mode, the FinePix Z20fd quickly shoots two images in succession -- one with and one without the flash -- saving both. This convenient function lets the user perform an on-the-spot picture comparison and decide whether the FinePix Z20fd produced the most pleasing photo with flash, or without.

Special scene modes The FinePix Z20fd has 16 scene positions, including Fireworks, Beach and Snow, offering a one-touch setting for almost any situation.

xD/SD/SDHC-compatible slot A single media slot that accepts both xD Picture Card and SD/SDHC media cards.

Stamp It Add a little fun to your images by "stamping" a variety of fun designs to up to three detected faces in your shots!

Battery life Long-life rechargeable Li-ion battery.

>> Buy this item or more Information
The 7.2-Megapixel Cyber-shot(R) W120 features innovative Smile Shutter technology, which photographs smiles as they happen. A Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens provides high quality close-ups, while Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution gives you crisp, clear images. The advanced Sony Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures the focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 2.5" TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight. Face Detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, color, and flash to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare, so your photos bring out every expression on every face in every shot. Super SteadyShot(R) Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens. For great stills and movies, and simple use, the Sony DSC-W120 is a great, all-around camera.

>> Buy this item or more Information
Fisher-Price and Amazon.com have teamed up to offer this item in Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging, a recyclable, easy-to-open alternative to traditional packaging. This Frustration-Free Package comes without excess packaging materials such as hard plastic "clamshell" casings, plastic bindings, and wire ties. It’s designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging during shipping. The Frustration-Free Packaging on this toy eliminates all PVC packaging materials (426.4 sq. in. per individual) and replaces them with recyclable corrugated material. This item ships in its own box, without the need for an additional shipping box.

The Kid Tough Digital Camera from Fisher-Price is rugged enough to go everywhere your child goes. With two-eye viewing, sturdy grips and a built-in flash, this real digital camera is designed to survive being dropped, and it is waterproof to protect against spills and splashes. This camera is a perfect way for kids aged three and up to document all their favorite things.

Easy to Start Taking Pictures
An adult will need to use a screwdriver to install the four AAA batteries before kids get their hands on this camera. With a textured button on the front that releases the shutter and large buttons on the back that let little hands turn the camera on and off, browse through pictures and delete images, using this camera is so easy it doesn't need to come with instructions.

The fun, brightly colored body helps distinguish this camera from boring adult models, making it an instant favorite.

Kid-Friendly Technology
Kids can pick between using the live view on a 1.5-inch color LCD preview screen or looking through the two-eye viewer when taking pictures. The preview screen also lets kids look at pictures the moment after they take them. With a built-in flash that automatically illuminates darkened scenes, and a shutter noise that makes it easy to know when a picture has been taken, kids are sure to be delighted by their images.

The 64 MB built-in memory stores up to 500 pictures and eliminates the need for handling fragile and expensive memory cards. Two image resolution settings, 0.3 and 1.3 interpolated mega pixels, let kids take plenty of pictures and make 4 x 6-inch prints.

Fun, Durable Way to Encourage Creativity
With its big rubberized grips and sturdy construction, we found this camera lived up to its incredibly durable reputation. Able to easily withstand being dropped again and again and waterproof for 30 minutes in up to three feet of water, this camera can handle the rough reality of active play.

The heavy-duty construction that makes this camera so durable can also make it seem somewhat bulky for little hands, but this won't prevent kids from wanting to take it on all their adventures.

Older children and adults may be disappointed by the image quality, but higher resolutions would allow less pictures to be stored and decrease the amount of fun children have with this camera. Kids quickly find that there's plenty of resolution for exercising creative urges and documenting the wonders of everyday life.

The camera comes with a USB cable so pictures can be downloaded quickly and easily for editing and viewing. It is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Apple Mac OSX, Apple Mac OS9 and requires a USB port 1.1 or higher for computer connectivity.

Rugged and easy to use, the Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera is ready to document all your child's adventures. With two-eye viewing, grips designed to fit in little hands, and a built-in flash, this real digital camera can also shoot video. It also includes simple-to-use photo editing software so kids aged three and up can add creative touches to their images.

Get Ready to Show off Your Child's Photos
It's clear right out of the packaging that this camera was designed to stand up to tough play and rough handling. Bright pink rubber grips on each side make it easy for children to grasp the camera with both hands, and two-eye viewing make it easy to conceptualize a photo or a cool video. The camera even comes with two interchangeable faceplates, so your child can pick her favorite look.

Before your child starts taking photos, you'll need to use a Phillips screwdriver to insert four "AA" batteries in the grips of the camera. While the first few photos are being taken, you may want to set up the VTech Photo Editor on your computer. An intuitive installation wizard makes this process quick and easy. You'll need Windows 2000 SP3+/XP or newer to use this software. And don't despair if you're a Mac user. As long as you have Mac OS X 10.0 or above, you can still use the camera in mass storage mode.

Inspire Creative Development
Six buttons and a navigational joystick on the back of the camera let your child pick a mode and scroll through old photos. Between taking photos, shooting videos, and playing simple games on the 1.8-inch color screen, there's lots to do.

A built-in flash makes it easier to get well-lit pictures, especially if the subject of the photo is indoors. The flash does, however, often fire if you are trying to take a close-up shot, resulting in very bright, blown-out pictures. Inexperienced photographers may need to be reminded that the camera is not designed to focus on objects that are less than 1.5-feet from the camera. For super-sized fun, you can also link the camera to your television using the included A/V cable and view creative work on the big screen.

With 16MB of internal memory and an SD card slot so that you can add capacity if you need it, this camera lets kids collect lots of images. The included USB cable lets you upload the images to your computer. The VTech photo editor lets you or your child add cool frames to photos, stamp funny hats on people, and distort images. You can even run fun animations that makes the photo look like it is rotating or underwater.

The photo editor interface is easy to use, with big round buttons for kids to click on and drag-and-drop stamps. More advanced artists may be disappointed that there aren't more ways to creatively control output, but files from the Kidizoom can easily be edited in more advanced programs, too.

Pentax K-m: All white on the night

Pentax K-m: All white on the night

If you need any evidence that the dSLR market is becoming friendlier, cuddlier, more accessible, look no further than the introduction of colour. Yes, colour! No longer are you restricted to serious, sober black, when you can express your personality through the hue of your camera. Well, just white, so far: the new limited edition Pentax K-m comes in snowy monochrome.

A major trend in the dSLR market this year has been the introduction of entry-level dSLRs to demystify photography. The 10.2-megapixel K-m boasts such friendly compact-style features as auto picture mode, which selects from scene modes such as portrait and landscape. It also uses AA batteries, which are more convenient should you unexpectedly run out of juice.

Strictly speaking, Panasonic's Lumix G1 isn't a dSLR, but is the most consumer-friendly way into the interchangeable lens system traditionally synonymous with the SLR. And that comes in red and blue, as well as black. As entry-level dSLRs become more popular, we reckon there'll be a profusion of coloured DSLRs. Thank the Lord of the Dance this isn't the hideous concept seen at Photokina, which had Swarovski crystals vomited all over it, but it's only a matter of time before there's a pink Hello Kitty dSLR. Now that's progress.

Since our man in the US, Stephen Shankland, compared the K2000, as it's known in the States, to an Imperial stormtrooper, we've been stuck with the Imperial March in our heads. Yes, even more than usual! Pentax only plans to bring 100 of these to the UK, so you'll have to be quick.

If you're speedy enough, you can buy the camera body and two kit lenses, the Pentax DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL and DA L 50-200mm F4-5.6. Both are in matching white. Body and 18-55mm lens will set you back £449, or £549 for both lenses, from February 2009.

Daily deal - Canon SD1100IS digital camera + photo printer for $169.95 (in pink)

Daily deal - Canon SD1100IS digital camera + photo printer for $169.95 (in pink)

My daily deal for today is another of those colored gadgets that is cheaper when ordered in a less popular color.

The Canon SD1100IS is a pretty popular and highly rated digital camera. The SD1100IS shoots in 8 megapixels, and features optical image stabilization and a 3x zoom lens.

The camera usually retails for about $159, but if you have a special someone in your life who likes pink, then you can pick up one of these cameras along with a Canon photo printer for just $169.95.

As part of the Amazon Christmas promotions, you also get a code for a free photo calendar and a $5 credit for the Amazon mp3 store. As always with digital cameras, you only get a very small memory card with the package, so be sure to order a larger card, or you will be out of space after just a few snaps.

When you arrive on the product page, be sure to select the pink camera+printer from the dropdown menu. Free super saver shipping is included, but I highly recommend upgrading this to a better shipping method if you need it on time for Christmas!

Samsung S860 Digital Camera Review

Samsung S860 Digital Camera Review

The Samsung S860 is an entry-level compact perfectly suited to first-time digital camera users or those who have not updated within the previous five years and are feeling completely overwhelmed by the jargon and advanced technologies saturating the modern compact camera market.

While the S860 has adopted a number of popular and valuable elements common to digital compacts toady - including face detection auto exposure and focus, and digital image stabilisation - it is in no way intimidating or complicated: the S860 is cleanly designed, easy to operate, and more than capable of fulfilling the average point-and-shooter’s needs.

For a compact camera within this highly affordable price range, the S860 packs a powerful little punch. High resolution images are created using what Samsung call a ‘true-colour filtered’ 8.1 mega pixel CCD (charge-coupled device), which allows users to print their images any size up to that of a standard poster without loss of quality.

The two-tier, fully-retractable, three times optical zoom lens can combine with three times digital zoom to offer a nine times total zoom capacity, allowing users to get closer to subjects further away and achieve some quite impressive, clear results. Built-in macro mode will help those who would like to get closer to subjects already under their nose in order to capture finer detail and eliminate distractions from the final composition.

During recording of the available 640 x 480 Motion JPEG video, the S860 retains its ability to zoom and is capable of recording either with or without sound. Unfortunately though, both cannot be done at once: at the point where the zoom function is activated, the audio recording will be cut off.

It is advisable that consumers purchase at least a 1GB card at the point of sale to help ensure ample amounts of both video and stills can be taken and stored at a time. Movie mode especially is a fantastic novelty - as well as often being a useful tool - to have on a digital compact camera and as such, should be used without the restriction of a small 512MB card or lower.

Eleven scene modes are incorporated into the S860 and range from portrait to night scene, sunset, dawn, landscape, fireworks and text etc. A photo help guide is also built-in to offer the user tips and tricks to counteract issues such as camera shake, out of focus images, and the difficulty of shooting in low light conditions.

The S860 can be somewhat sluggish when processing images shot using digital image stabilisation. In some cases, it may take up to three or four seconds before the previous image is recorded and the next can be composed and taken. For general shooting however, either with or without the flash, this will reduce to one or two seconds.

The S860 kit comes with two AA alkaline batteries to power the unit but it is highly recommended that rechargeable batteries be purchased (along with a charger if not already owned) as these will quickly prove to be more economically efficient. The kit also includes a wrist strap, software, USB cable, manual and warranty card and the S860 is available in four different colours: silver, black, pink and blue.

Samsung L201 Digital Camera Review

Samsung L201 Digital Camera Review

The 10.2 mega pixel Samsung L201 has a positively minimal feel about it, which is obvious from the time you first open the boxed kit. The provided USB cable doubles as the power cord (for battery recharge) by having an attachable AC adapter head meaning you can go from having the L201 plugged directly into your computer to having it charging via a wall socket in a matter seconds and with minimal fuss.

Being able to charge the dedicated battery whilst in-camera also allows for greater convenience: no more fiddling around with a battery charger unit nor taking the battery to-and-from the camera after every few uses.

The L201 kit comes complete with a strap, AV cable, software, 14-page manual and warranty card and only requires the purchase of a memory card and camera case before all that is required to shoot, upload, edit, recharge and care for your camera, is at your fingertips.

Keeping in line with the minimalist approach, the L201 is cleanly and compactly designed with a two-tier, three times optical zoom lens that neatly retracts into the camera body when power is off. A wide variety of colours are available including traditional silver and black, while for those who prefer to make a bolder statement, pink, blue and green are additional options.

The L201 has an intelligent 2.7-inch LCD screen that fills two-thirds of the camera’s back and provides a clear, bright picture in most conditions. Start-up time is rapid at less than 1.5 seconds along with auto focus, which proves to be both accurate and swift shot after shot.

There aren’t excessive operational buttons and dials to negotiate on the Samsung L201 and all 13 of them are placed logically and ergonomically for use. The zoom control is the most difficult to handle given its small size and up/down functioning opposed to the standard left/right, but having said that it would quickly become a habit and feel quite natural to the user.

An automatic double flash system is used to help achieve optimum results and Samsung’s auto contrast balance technology (ACB) applies itself when in back lit conditions to help better reproduce detail in the shadowed areas. Face detection technology is also included and when selected, will adjust the automatic exposure and focus to better suit portrait shooting.

Fortunately, the user will not be overwhelmed by scene modes as only ten of the most common are included in the L201: nightscene, children, landscape, close-up, text, sunset, dawn, backlight, fireworks, and beach and snow, making it simpler to narrow down which mode is best for the current shooting situation.

Many users will also appreciate the in-house photo help guide, which offers an assortment of advice given particular tricky situations that may be encountered. For instance, the L201 will instruct you of ways to counteract out of focus images and those resulting camera shake, how to achieve better results in low-light conditions, and ways to adjust brightness and colour etc.

Users also have the ability to resize and/or rotate images, manually adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and colour mode (change to black and white, sepia, red, green, blue and negative) in camera, along with red eye fix and automatic brightness and contrast adjustment meaning that often, little to no editing via a computer is necessary.

medal-platinum-r.jpg The eight-function mode dial includes popular choices: auto, program, manual, scene and movie mode, along with digital image stabilisation, photo help guide, and face detection. It would have been beneficial had digital image stabilisation and face detection run automatically and concurrently when auto mode was selected but indeed, having them as selectable options is preferable to not having them at all. Digital image stabilisation mode does take between five and seven seconds to capture and process a single image however, so realistically could only be used to capture still life or for experimentation.

The L201 menu system is plainly laid out and easy to navigate making it fairly foolproof and likely suit those who desire a simple-to-use point-and-shoot compact camera that reliably delivers high quality images and movie clips with a minimum amount of fuss. At RRP $229 the L201 is extremely affordable and being of a similar size to a standard deck of cards, it is highly portable as well.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Review

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Review

Touch screen cameras certainly are nothing new at this point. But for everyone except jaded camera reviewers, it seems that the novelty of being able to tap your way through settings changes on a huge screen hasn't worn off. Biases about whether or not a touch interface does more to get in the way of ease of operation than it makes up for with cool touch-responsive integrations aside, there's still something a bit "sci-fi" about a camera with little or no physical interface: even though the convenience of actual buttons means that they'll probably never become a thing of the past, touch screens continue to seem like the technology of the future.
