Fujifilm’s F200EXR uses a new Super CCD EXR sensor
February 14, 2009
The FujiFilm F200EXR is a 12-megapixel camera with a 5x optical zoom. The big stand-out feature about this camera however is that it uses a new Super CCD EXR sensor which selects the scene mode that the camera will use to take a particular picture as well as the shooting mode, based on the particular setting in which you’re taking a photo.
Samsung’s Memoir: 8-Mpixel cameraphone with very strong competition
February 14, 2009
The Memoir from Samsung is a cameraphone. (Which is a new word to mean a camera which is also a cell phone or, if you would prefer, a cell phone which is also a camera.)
The superb Canon EOS 5D Mark 2 5mm single lens reflex camera — but do you need it?
February 13, 2009

Panasonic’s DMC-FX48 is a great camera, no gubbins needed
February 9, 2009
Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-FX48 has a 25mm ultra-wide-angle Leica DC lens which you can use with an optical — not digital, which has no relevancy — zoom. That’s as if you had picked up a Leica MR and had the same features you would be shooting roughly between 25mm to 125 mm. Cartier Bresson would have married the camera on the spot.
