The more current entry gets a larger 16-megapixel sensor (up from 14) as well as a higher ISO 3,200 sensitivity. Both share 720p video […]
Olympus brought its attention back to point-and-shoot today with its answer to the rapidly escalating fight among ultrazoom cameras. The SP-810UZ reaches an extremely long 36X (24-864mm) optical zoom, supposedly the longest for a non-interchangeable camera, even as the body itself gets smaller. The lens still musters an f2.9-5.7 aperture range and, along with better […]
Leica this morning upgraded its smallest camera line through the V-LUX 30. Its body is a more premium adaptation of the 14-megapixel Panasonic Lumix ZS10 that revolves around Leica’s own 16X, 4.3-68.8mm f3.3-5.9 lens in a compact body. The V-LUX adaptation goes all black and ships with both Adobe’s Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements […]

The technique, described by Nikkei, can process several pixels’ input in parallel and takes up to 75 percent less time to generate the final image. At 34.8Gbps of bandwidth, it’s about five times faster than […]

All of them actually drop […]
