Samsung says it has the perfect “stylish, on-the-go camera for parties, family gatherings and other special moments,” and it’s super slim.  At just 0.65 inches thin, the 14.2 megapixel TL110 and 12.2 megapixel TL105 are each equipped with a 2.7-inch LCD and feature a 5x optical zoom and a 4x optical zoom respectively. Samsung’s new models feature an improved 27mm wide-angle lens for TL110 and 27.5mm wide-angle lens for TL105. Samsung says the TL110 has a versatile 5x optical zoom, which is paired with Dual Image Stabilization (IS) to help reduce image blur, while the TL105 offers an expanded 4x optical zoom and features Digital Image Stabilization.

Both cameras support high-definition video recording and have the ability to record video at a resolution of 720p / 30fps, using H.264 compression. These two new, super-slim cameras will be available this February. The TL110 comes in cool metallic colors options of blue, orange, silver and a tradition (yet still shiny) black. The TL105 comes in standard black or silver.

Samsung also extended its popular SL-Series of digital cameras today with the new SL630.  This 12.2 megapixel point-and-shoot offers unprecedented value for the casual shooter with a versatile 28mm wide-angle, 5x optical zoom lens, Dual Image Stabilization, and Samsung’s full range of smart features packed in a slim, compact frame.

Samsung claims the SL630 offers an exceptional 28mm wide-angle Samsung lens which provides users with a 5x optical zoom (28mm-140mm / 35mm equivalent), allowing the ability to capture more of a desired scene from farther away. Samsung SL630 also offers standard definition video recording at a resolution of 640×480 and recording at 30 frames-per-second, so you can switch from taking 12.2 megapixel digital stills to recording movies.


Last, but certainly not least, of Samsung’s new digital camera lineup is the addition of two new models to its HZ-Series of high zoom, point-and-shoot digital cameras. The 12-megapixel HZ35W and HZ30W offer the same wide-angle 24mm Schneider lenses as their predecessors, but extend the telephoto capability of the range from a 10x optical zoom to an impressive 15x optical zoom. Samsung says the HZ35W comes equipped with a super clear and sharp 3.0” AMOLED display and built-in GPS technology for the automatic geo-tagging of images from anywhere in the world.

These two cameras will be available in March of this year.

Nikon’s new 800mm lens for Z-mount cameras lightens the load
nikons new 800mm lens for z mount cameras nikon 800m

Nikon has announced the Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S lens aimed primarily at sports and wildlife photographers,

At 5.3 pounds and 15.2 inches, the lens is notable for being half the weight and 16% shorter than the equivalent 800mm f/5.6 lens for Nikon's long-established F-mount SLR cameras, making it much easier to lug around, and also to shoot with if you’re working sans tripod.

Check out the tech behind the Samsung Galaxy S22 cameras
The Galaxy S22 Ultra's camera module.

Samsung’s latest generation, the S22 series, may appear on the surface to merely copy its admittedly excellent camera array from the last generation, but this is a good lesson in why it's vital to never judge a new phone by its spec sheet.
Camera array
The first thing to note is that the S22 and S22+ share the same camera system, so going forward, I’ll be referring to them collectively as the S22. Design-wise, the S22 and S22 Ultra retain the same layout as the S21 series. However, while the S22 retains the singular camera block of the S21 into which the cameras themselves are embedded, the S22 Ultra takes a drastic new direction and ditches the larger bump for individual protruding camera lenses.

Personally, I’m not sure how I feel about this design choice, as I actually found the camera bump on the S21 Ultra to be visually attractive. On a more practical note, I can’t help but wonder if removing the larger bump might make the cameras more vulnerable to damage. Also, now when you place the S22 Ultra down on a table, it will now be balancing on the telephoto camera, rather than on the rim of the larger camera bump as it did with the S21 Ultra. All that said, it is an exciting aesthetic change that sets it apart from its predecessors.
Rear camera
The rear camera is practically identical to that of the S21 series. The S22 gets a 10MP hole-punch camera with an F2.2 aperture and 1/3.24-inch sensor size. The S22 Ultra similarly shares a hole-punch selfie camera with its predecessor, featuring a 40MP lens with an 80-degree field of view, F2.2 aperture, and 1/2.82-inch sensor. If selfies are a big deal to you, then upgrading to the S22 Ultra offers a huge advantage over the less expensive models.
