Awesome Cameras

Sony DSC-WX1
Sony’s 10.2 MP DSC-WX1 boasts the new low-light Exmor R sensor; it’s otherwise a mid-range compact with 5x optical zoom, 720p video, 2.7″ LCD and 10 fps burst-shot mode.
Sony DSC-TX1
Sony’s 10.2 MP DSC-TX1 is a sexy (but pricey) 0.65″ thin ultra-compact camera; it features their new Exmor R sensor, 720p video recording, 4x optical zoom with Carl Zeiss lens.

Gorillamobile
A scaled-down Gorillapod, the Gorillamobile secures cellphones and mp3 players to unconventional places; it uses the same three flexible legs and includes a trio of adapters.
Nikon D3000 DSLR
Nikon fleshes out its entry level DSLR offerings with the new D3000; a replacement for the D60, it sports the same 10.2 MP CCD sensor but packs a larger 3″ LCD and 11-point AF system.
Nikon D300S DSLR
Sounding like an iPhone 3GS, Nikon’s 12.3 MP D300S gets speed and video: HD 720p @ 24 fps recording with autofocus and faster 7fps continuous shooting are its chief improvements.
Leica Pinmaster
Leica lends its pricey and prestigious name to the Pinmaster, a laser rangefinder that can “pin”-point the distance to a pin; it’s good up to 820 yards with 7x magnification and auto-dimmer.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1
Panasonic slims down its compacts with the 12.1 MP Lumix DMC-ZR1, which boasts the world’s first 0.3 mm aspherical lens; it also features 8x optical zoom and a 1.1 s start-up speed.
Ricoh GR Digital III
It still has a 10 MP sensor, but Ricoh fans will be salivating over the GR Digital III’s new noise-reducing GR Engine III, a 28 mm/F1.9 lens, and a CCD with 2x sensitivity over the old model.
Panasonic Lumix FZ35
Panasonic’s flagship superzoom and successor to the F28, the Lumix FZ35 features a 12.1 MP sensor and 27 mm wide angle lens with 18x optical zoom; it’ll be available September 2009.

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR
Fujifilm’s answer to Olympus’s Stylus 7010, the F70EXR boasts a 10x optical zoom, but its trump card is a 10 MP Super CCD EXR sensor with wide dynamic range and high ISO/low noise.
Olympus Stylus 7010
Designed for zoom-mavens on-the-go, Olympus’ Stylus 7010 features a 7x optical wide-angle zoom with 12 MP sensor, dual image stabilization and AF tracking for moving objects.
Fujifilm S200EXR
Available 8/09, Fujifilm’s FinePix S200EXR is their top-of-the-line megazoom with DSLR-like performance thanks to a 12 MP Super CCD EXR sensor and 14.3x optical zoom lens.
Fujifilm Real 3D W1
Fujifilm’s FinePix Real 3D W1 is the world’s first 3D camera: two CCD sensors, two 3x zoom lenses, and a special processor which previews 3D/2D images on a 2.8″ LCD. Thanks, Chris!

Its quality is likely a far cry from pro gear, but Brando’s Flash Accessory Kit is incredibly affordable; you’ll get six different lighting tools and adapters for Nikon, Sony, Canon and Vivitar.
Olympus: PEN Story
It’s essentially an ad for their PEN cameras, but Olympus’ PEN Story itself merits a story: it’s a stop-motion video composed of 9,600 developed prints out of a total of 60,000 shots.
