Canon A85 4-Megapixel

Canon A85 4-Megapixel 07/20/2004 09:47 AM

Canon has released an updated PowerShot, bumping the A70 to the new A85, a 4-megapixel/3x optical zoom sidearm that also adds PictBridge comparability (for easy one-button transfer direct from camera to printer or portable hard drive). The A85 also ships with a 32MB Compact Flash card, which is a nice step up from the usual 16MB card most cameras are bundled with. It's about time we start seeing even low-end cameras with 32- or even 64-meg flash memory cards right out of the box.

Also, coffee at 5PM can not be mitigated with bourbon at 11PM. Good morning!

2-Mpixel era

"Japan's three major mobile phone carriers KDDI, Vodafone and NTT DoCoMo have all flagged new models boasting about 2 megapixels.This article states that 'the designs offer more than merely a few more pixels, though. Models of KDDI and Vodafone also come with auto-focus (AF) mechanisms, for example. Some camera-equipped mobile phones are featuring the equivalent electronic flash found in digital still cameras'. With the capacity of two megapixels and flash, 'photography with mobile phones will make major inroads into digital camera territory'.

Did I really say I wanted a phone with a 1-megapixel camera? Scratch that. I guess if I just wait a year, they'll hit U.S. shores with 3+ megapixels!

VuPoint's $300 6-megapixel Camera 06/24/2004 02:38 PM

I have to say, I'm as dubious about this $300 VuPoint 6-megapixel camera as Red is over at The Red Ferret Journal, but it's just expensive enough that it could actually offer decent image quality and a small housing, although it doesn't look like it has any optical zoom, which would just about kill it for me. As soon as I see any reviews -- with sample images -- I'll let you know.

Nikon D2X, 12.4-Megapixel DSLR

Nikon D2X, 12.4-Megapixel DSLR 09/16/2004 05:52 AM

Nikon has finally announced the successor to their D1X and boy, does it look hot! Called the D2X (surprise!), the defining feature of the new DSLR is a 12.4-megapixel CMOS sensor that can shoot up to five frames per second at its highest resolution, but can also be bumped down to 6.8-megapixel to increase its framerate to 8 per second. In addition, Nikon has updated their Wi-Fi transmitter for the camera; the WT-2 has both 802.11b/g support and "Capture Control," giving you the ability to control the shutter of the camera from a PC or other mobile device.

LG's New 3.24-Megapixel Clamshell
Cameraphones 07/19/2004 09:56 AM

LG Electronics is providing a pair of 3.24-megapixel camera phones to SK Telecom (the LG-SD350) and KTF (the LG-KP2500) which use a mechanical shutter instead of a software technique to improve image quality. Also interesting is the fact that the handsets are clamshells, instead of candy bar phones -- the last 3-megapixel phone we saw, the Samsung SPH-2300, has a more traditional camera shape, although it has an optical zoom, as well. I would hazard a guess that the new LG phones do not (although these days, it's hard to tell).

Meanwhile, some of the phones in the US are starting to get 1-megapixel sensors. Wowsers!

More on the 22 Megapixel Sinar Camera
Back 06/15/2004 06:54 AM

Remember that 22-megapixel Sinar camera back from yesterday? Reader Jason Ozolins explains what makes peltier cooling on large CCDs so useful:

I think you'll find that the Peltier cooler on the Sinar camera back is not used to dissipate lots of internally generated heat (typical "leet overcloxor" use), but to keep the CCD sensor cold, which increases the signal to noise ratio, and allows them to get that incredible 14 usable bits of resolution per colour component.

It's been done with CCDs since the 1980s by astronomers; back then, making a 200Kpixel CCD was a hugely expensive proposition, so you might as well spend a few thousand more cooling the thing to wring the absolute most information possible out of its images.

Developed for Sinar by Kodak, the new Sinarback 54 M is a new pro-level camera back that captures with an impressive 22 megapixel sensor with 14-bit color depth. I didn't realize high-end sensors generated a lot of heat during operation, but apparently the Sinarback dumps enough that it has an integrated Peltier cooler to enable it to be continuously used. No idea on price; let's say 'spendy' for now. (Thanks, Lorenz!)

Nikon 4 Megapixel Coolpix 4100

Nikon 4 Megapixel Coolpix 4100 05/28/2004 12:44 PM

Nikon's got a new Coolpix coming out this summer with a 4-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, 1.6-inch LCD and--in a rare return to early digicam form--14.5MB of internal memory. The Coolpix 4100 will also take SD cards for additional storage and should be price around $300. One thing I love about Nikon is that they tend to release their own underwater housings for their cameras and the 4100 will be getting one, as well. Even though many 3rd party housings are just as good or better, it's usually a lot easier to buy from the manufacturer.

Another convergence device from Concord called the DV2020, this one revolving around a 2-megapixel camera that also records digital video or can serve as a webcam, as well as work as a voice recorder and MP3 player. It has 16MB of internal storage, which isn't going to get you very far as a video camera, but accepts SD cards for additional storage. It's not really going to provide high-quality anything, but for $230 or so it might be a nice thing to throw in a bag and have with you just in case.

The future is now. Unfortunately, the future is now in Korea, a land filled with a fine people and such, don't get me wrong, but a land that is also, clearly, not right here in my apartment. So with Samsung's introduction of a new 3-megapixel cameraphone, the SPH-2300, we Westerners have all been apparently flung backwards into the past, which is cool from a "countdown to death" perspective, but otherwise, you know, I'd rather just have my 3-megapixel cameraphone -- especially one with optical zoom, miniSD slot, and built-in flash.

Handycam 06/29/2004 12:16 PM

Sony's new DCR-PC350 MiniDV Handycam jams a 3.31-megapixel CCD into a compact shell that weighs less than a pound. Each unit comes with a Handycam Station, a charging dock that connects to a TV or PC via S-Video, USB, or FireWire (i.LINK), to copy over data or display images or video straight from the camera. A 2.5-inch touchscreen LCD augments the rest of the controls, and a Memory Stick PRO Duo slot allows for a quick toss-in of additional storage (just for photos, not video, I would think). Small, light, and high-quality -- no complaints here (although I wouldn't mind a hard drive inside, too, if I'm free to wish).

Should be available in September for $1,300, "just in time for the holidays." I had no idea Sony was so concerned about Rosh Hashanah. CyberShabot Shalom!

Slashphone has information about a new phone available on Korea's SKT Telecom, produced by Pantech & Curite (?) and packed with features that we won't see for a while yet. In addition to the 320 x 240 260K color screen, 63MB of usable memory, and MiniSD, the Curitel S4 has a 2-megapixel camera with a 2x optical zoom. Yes, it's painful, but what can we do? Hopefully some of the phones with the 1.3-megapixel cameras will sell well here in the US and encourage the carriers to bring over the hotter cameraphones sooner (I wouldn't count on it, though).
