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.
The EOS 50D has been officially revealed this week by Canon after many pictures and information had already been leaked onto the internet. The camera is equipped with a 15.1 mega-pixel sensor and other features that make it easier for us to use.
The EOS 50D uses the DIGIC 4 image processor from Canon and has also been given the expanded ISO range of ISO 100 to ISO 12800. There are also several dust reduction features that are included into that.
Fujifilm has revealed their new Finepix F60fd 12-mega pixel and the Finepix J150w wide-angle cameras. The F60fd features a Super CCD HR s12 mega pixel 1/1.16” sensor, brand new 3” LCD screen, and a 3x optical zoom.
With the addition of Dual Image Stabilization (Sensor Shift + High ISO), Face Detection technology with automatic red-eye removal and a new Scene Recognition mode, the Fujifilm Finepix F60fd promises to deliver better image quality for everyday use than the predecessor.
