Somebody managing Panasonic’s website had an “accident” and somehow ended up posting specs and images of their upcoming G2 andG10 Micro Four Thirds cameras just long enough to be lapped up by some photography blogs. While there is no denying the authenticity of the pics, the specs may still be “works-in-progress”.
Check below to see what we have been able to get from the “leak”.
Pentax has released a new silver Limited Edition version of the Pentax K-7 DSLR. The new model is very similar to the original with a 14.6 megapixel sensor, video recording at 1536×1024 @ 30fps, and HDMI output capability. Along with it is an exclusive “golden section ratio” focusing screen and a toughened scratch and shock resistant cover for the Preview LCD Display.
Panasonic has just announced five new Lumix compact digital cameras, featuring both the new Venus Engine VI and the Venus Engine HD II which are supposed to be faster and have better noise reduction. Another new thing about these cams is that they will support the upcoming SDXC standard, allowing the use of memory cards larger than 32GB. See below for pecs and details on each model.
An early listing at an online reseller’s website helped reveal Pentax’s new upcoming cameras. Photos of the Pentax Optia H90, L-10 and E-90 have now leaked out in full. While not much is known about the specs of the cams, some really good pics are available as well as some sketchy details.
Just one week ago JVC introduced the three new Everio models, after showing nothing for about half a year. Today, they revealed the Everio GZ-HD620, and it’s currently the smallest and lightest HDD camcoder in the entire world. The camera weighs only 270g, and uses a 120 GB hard drive. It can record 1080p videos, using a 1/4.1″ 3.32 megapixel CMOS sensor.
It is called the Korejanai K-x, and it comes with bright red, blue, yellow and white. Pentax on Monday unveiled the camera, which is a colorful version of its own K-x DSLR, in Japan. But why such a name you wonder? Pentax has the answer. The camera comes modeled on the Korejanai Robots.
Is it just the colors and the name that are unique? Seems more so! A closer look reveals that the Pentax Korejanai K-x has almost the similar features as what the slew of cameras available in the US and other parts of the world offer. For instance, it comes with 12.4MP resolution, 2.7-inch rear LCD, 720p HD video capability, and an 18 to 55mm lens. What’s so unique about this camera then?
I have had a long-time interest in photography. I currently own both film and digital cameras and almost exclusively use the digital camera to save developing costs.
I also have boxes and boxes of developed film and pictures that I would love to digitize and scan into my computer. I have tried those inexpensive document scanners and have successfully scanned some photographs, but the hassle of taking the scanner apart to wipe the dust from the underside of the glass is a pain and invariably I get specks and other anomalies with pictures that have black or dark backgrounds.
