Casio Exilim EX-Z1200 SR

admin — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 05:24:34 +0000

Casio has today announced its new “Flagship Exilim” compact digital camera which packs an unnatural twelve megapixels into its 1/1.7″ CCD sensor and helps to deal with camera shake thanks to a CCD-shift style stabilization system. The EX-Z1200SR also features automatic ISO which is dependent on the speed of the subject (several other manufacuters have a similar feature). Other key specs are a three times optical zoom lens, 2.8″ LCD monitor, H.264 video clips and SDHC support. Perhaps telling a little more of the performance of the CCD the maximum default sensitivity is ISO 400 with ISO 800 and 1600 available as a ‘Best Shot’ scene option.

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd

admin — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 11:58:07 +0000

The Fujifilm F50fd has a lot to live up to, its the model to replace the F31fd, a camera we have raved about ever since we reviewed it as about the only compact camera you can use confidently at high sensitivities. The F50fd takes quite a jump from the F31fd’s six megapixels, it now has twelve megapixels and that only makes us wonder if it will be able to match the F31fd’s high ISO performance. The F50fd also features a mechanical CCD-shift image stabilization system, improved face detection, ISO 1600 at full image size and a 2.7″ LCD monitor. The F50fd should be available in September at around $300.
