Hot Shots: 10 Fashion Friendly Digital Cameras Ready for a Night on the Town
When it comes to digital cameras, there’s a time and place for function, and one for fashion instead. Case in point: The hefty five-pound DSLR cameras you see pros muscling around at press conferences and football games are the tools of the trade for shooting magazine covers and Pulitzer award winners. But when it’s time for a night out on the town? That’s when you leave the big guns and tripods at home. Whether club hopping or twirling around a ballroom, the ideal point-and-shoot digital camera needs to fit the tiniest suit pockets and handbags, fire up at a moment’s notice, and, most of all, look good doing so. Here are a few of our favorite models that fit the bill.
Buying Upgrades: When to Save or Spend on HDTVs, PCs, Digital Cameras and More
A pair of white gold cufflinks, a fine Swiss watch, and a set of stainless cutlery will last a century. An HDTV, a laptop, and an iPod will not – which makes knowing when to break out the high-limit American Express and invest in something nice, and when to make a trip to Wal-mart and buy the cheapest box on the shelf, a tricky game.
On one hand, everyone would like to own a Dell Adamo, a Sonos music system, and a 50-inch Pioneer Kuro. But then again, most of us would love mansions and Ferraris, too. So unless you’re reading from a teak deck on your sailboat in the French Riviera, it might be wise to figure out where to spend and where to save.
Leica displays new M9 and X1 cameras
Today, German camera manufacturer Leica unveiled their newest M-series, the M9 digital rangefinder, and the new Leica X1. The Kodak Company, long-time supporter and supplier of Leica’s image sensors, developed a new CCD sensor specifically for the M9, amplifying the hype for the camera’s arrival.
The Kodak KAF-18500 provides a new level of camera capabilities—providing full frame image capture and a much improved image quality compared to the sensors in the M8. The new CCD sensor has been customized to work with Leica’s M-series removable lenses and mount, which has been backwards compatible with all the lenses since the original model was released in 1945. Although the M9 offers the same compact size as its predecessor the M8, the advanced image sensor beefs its resolution power and is referred to by Leica as “the world’s smallest full-frame camera system.”
Digital Camera Tips and Tricks: 10 Reasons to Buy A DSLR
Digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are the serious photographer’s tool of choice. These units are also a world apart from point-and-shoot digicams, offering far superior performance… although sadly, they do have prices to match. Here are 10 reasons why you should consider investing in one, however – beyond, of course, the fact that it’s a better camera that’ll take fine pictures for years to come.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Micro Four Thirds Camera Gets HD Video
‘Tis the season of digital camera introductions, and Panasonic doesn’t want to be left out of the loop: today the company introduced its new Lumix DMC-GF1 digital camera, packing the capability to record high-definition video into a Micro Four Thirds System. Micro Four Thirds cameras support interchangeable lenses—just like DSLRs—but don’t use the same prism-and-mirror setup, making it possible to pack the camera into a much smaller body—the result is a camera with DSLR-like quality that isn’t a pain to carry around.
Canon EOS 7D DSLR Touts 18 Megapixels and Handles High-Def Video
Canon has unveiled its new Canon EOS 7D DSLR digital camera…and rather than being an update to an existing EOS model, the 7D offers features that haven’t been seen in Canon shooters to date, including high-definition video capture capability, an eight frame-per-second continuous shooting mode, and a new 19-point autofocus systems—all combined with an 18 megapixel resolution.
“The EOS 7D represents a completely new chapter in digital photography and Canon product development,” said Canon Imaging Group senior VP and general manager Yuichi Ishizuka, in a statement. “This camera stands alone as the most functional and innovative DSLR Canon has released to-date, bringing together all of the best professional features offered, along with numerous user requests at a price-point everyone can appreciate.”
Olympus E-600 Makes DSLRs Easier on the Wallet
There are lots of people who enjoy digital photography but stick to consumer-oriented point-and-shoot cameras for one simple reason: DSLRs are expensive. Although we don’t ever expect the flexibility and power of DSLRs will ever come down in price far enough to really give point-and-shoot consumer cameras a run for their money, Olympus looks to be trying its best, announcing today its new E-600 digital single lens reflex camera, which is almost point-for-point feature comparable to the company’s recently introduced E-620…but comes in $100 cheaper, making it easier to folks to get into the DSLR arena.
