Casio has made plans to ship out three brand new digital cameras in October of this year. Both the 9 magpie EX-Z250 and the 10 mega pixel Exilim EX-Z300 will incorporate the third generation of Casio’s Exilim Engine image processor. This new engine allows the cameras to correct for low light automatically or over exposed scenes and helps to power a new “make-up” feature that retouches faces in a photograph.
Panasonic released the new Lumix DMC-FZ28 digital still camera - which features a 27mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-el Marit lens with an 18x optical zoom.

The FZ28 also boasts 10.1-megapixel resolution and adds a number of enhanced features that boost user fun and convenience, represented by an advanced iA (Intelligent Auto) mode.
