Samsung Digimax i50 MP3

Samsung Digimax i50 MP3 06/24/2005 04:01 PM

The nearly-flat camera is the hottest new form factor, for certain (think FujiFilm Z1, Sony DSC-T7, Casio Whatever), and Samsung is not staying out of the game, this time upgrading their older model to produce the i50 MP3. As you can guess, this five-megapixel sidearm is not only a pocket-ready camera, but also will support MP3 playback from SD and MMC cards—sounds great to me. Details are scant at the moment, but LetsGoDigital has some inital info (and really, until someone gets a hands-on, there's not that much more you really need to know).

Samsung Digimax V700

Samsung Digimax V700 02/01/2005 09:09 PM

Samsung won't be satisfied until they've dipped a toe in every gadget pond, it seems. Their new Digimax V700 aims at this year's consumer camera target with a 7-megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom for less than $500 (and probably far less than that soon after launch). Available in three colors, the V700 should be out as soon as 'now' (although I'd wait for a proper review before picking one up. Consumer cameras in this class can vary wildly in quality).

Samsung Digimax U-CA3 Reviewed

Samsung Digimax U-CA3 Reviewed 06/30/2004 09:23 AM

It's always dangerous when a manufacturer, let along a reviewer, calls a camera (or whatever) "fun." Oh gee, just what I wanted on my 3.2-megapixel camera, "rainbow-colored blinking "disco" lights," "animated 3D avatar start-up screen," and "desaturated colors!" (I'm unsure that was meant as a "fun" feature). So basically, the Samsung Digimax U-CA3 is a kids camera, which is fine -- I support giving children the crappiest of all options in consumer electronics if it means keeping the good equipment for myself -- but for $229 I'd hope for something a little less "fun" and a little more "actually worth buying."

Samsung Digimax A402: No Optical Zoom

Samsung Digimax A402: No Optical Zoom 04/18/2005 08:22 AM

Samsung has announced the Digimax A402, a 4.2-megapixel camera with a 5x digital zoom—no optical zoom to be had. That means, effectively, that I can't imagine any reason whatsoever to buy one, except that it might be sort of cheap. Still, releasing a digital camera these days without optical zoom—when even cameraphones are starting to get optical lenses—is sort of dumb. I'm sure now that I've said that they'll sell millions.

Cameras, Privacy And The Law

Cameras, Privacy And The Law 02/17/2004 06:31 PM
Found over at Alan Reiter's Camera Phone Report is this story written by a Kansas City Star columnist talking about how everyone's overreacting to the "dangers" of camera phones by worrying about a specific technology, rather than the misuse of that technology. The writer lists a bunch of other devices (including watches and MP3 players) that include cameras, but which no one is calling to ban. However, his overall point is that technology trumps privacy - and on top of that, technology trumps the law. The issue we should be focusing on, according to the article, is making laws that protect privacy, not ones that outlaw technology. Then, if someone is using the technology to violate someone's privacy, you go after them for breaking the privacy law - not the law banning the, otherwise useful, technology. Makes sense. Of course, if you then combine it with another article (found at Smart Mobs), it raises other questions. This is a case where a man with a wireless security camera system realized that he was getting video from a neighbor's security camera instead of his own - and witnessed the neighbor abusing her foster children. He called the police and the woman was quickly arrested, which is clearly a good thing. However, where does the law stand on video like that, which is accidentally intercepted? Is it only a privacy violation if the voyeurism is intentional? Clearly, there are a lot of new legal and privacy issues raised by new technologies - and trying to simply outlaw technology or cram new technologies into old laws isn't going to cut it.

Do Red Light Cameras Help?

Do Red Light Cameras Help? 01/05/2005 10:30 PM
We've had a number of stories about problems with speed cameras, but similar problems apply to red light cameras as well. Of course, the biggest question is whether or not these cameras help make the roads safer. The problem is that the incentive of those installing the cameras is often to maximize revenue. Thus, they choose locations that are high traffic -- but not necessarily dangerous. In some cases, such as in San Diego, it turned out that officials reduced the length of the yellow light on traffic lights where speed cameras were positioned, in order to create more violations. While studies have shown that locations that have red light cameras do reduce side impact accidents, they increase rear impact accidents, because people slam on the brakes to avoid getting caught by the camera. The net effect, however, is in dispute. Some say that the reduction in side impact crashes outweighs slower rear impact crashes -- which may be true. Of course, if officials really want to stop side impact crashes from people running red lights, it seems there's a much simpler and more effective solution. Some locations do this, but I've never understood why it's not more popular: have a period of time when lights in both directions are red. That is, when the lights for one roadway turns red, don't immediately turn the cross traffic lights green. Give it a second, allowing the stragglers to get through, and then let the other traffic go. Of course, if this were all about safety that's what would happen -- and it's pretty clear that safety is coming second to revenue in many of these cases.

Sometimes it's really interesting to live in the centre of the administrative capital of the Netherlands. Today we had a referendum for ratification of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. I had to vote in the city hall. As this is close to the parliament buildings a lot of camera crews had chosen the city hall to film some voters, including me. ?

Secret cameras revealed!

Secret cameras revealed! 11/15/2003 04:35 PM
How to find hidden cameras:

Some methods to hide cameras solely rely on the way human perception works. A very simple way to "hide" a camera is to install it at a large distance from the space to be surveilled. This does not restrict the usefulness of the camera images in any way because tele lenses can be used to compensate for the distance. For this application there is no need for subminiature cameras, although these are even easier to hide. Standard surveillance cameras painted the right color are very hard to spot and usually have a CMount or CS-Mount 7 socket which is needed for attaching the necessary high quality tele lens.

Police Don't Like Speed Cameras Either

Police Don't Like Speed Cameras Either 05/14/2004 10:11 PM
We've had a bunch of stories about how speed cameras don't seem to work very well, and now, even some police officers are against them, saying that they are "harming their relationship with the public." They're worried that people are blaming the speed camera mishaps on police who just want to bring in more revenue. They want a study conducted on whether or not the cameras are actually needed. Of course, another interpretation of the police being against the cameras is they're afraid that they're about to be automated out of a job. This explains why much of the discussion focuses on why a human police officer can do a better job than a camera.

New Cameras from Pentax, Sanyo

New Cameras from Pentax, Sanyo 09/14/2004 09:13 AM

Living Room has information about a bunch of new cameras from Pentax (and one from Sanyo), including this 5.36-megapixel Pentax Optio SV [pictured right], a slim-profile camera with a 5x optical zoom; and the Sanyo Xacti VPC A5, another 5-megapixel camera, although this one has only a 2.8x optical zoom. In addition, Pentax has a new DSLR (called the "*ist" - what is it with camera companies and unpronounceable names? Asteriskist? Wildcardist? Starist? Multiplyist? Fireballist?) and a pistol-grip hybrid camera/camcorder coming out, as well.
