The camera’s fixed lens housing also ensures super-fast start-up time of just 1.1 seconds, ensuring even unexpected action can be captured easily and quickly. Not only is the lens capable of picking out detail in the distance with its 10x optical zoom, it also features a Super Macro mode. With this mode selected the FinePix S5800 is able to focus on objects down to just 1cm so that everything from close-ups of flora and fauna to wide, sweeping landscapes are within its reach.

Main Features:

* ISO 1600 light sensitivity for flash-free shooting, even in low light, which means photos will look much more natural with balanced background and foreground exposure. On-board flash can sometimes leave the foreground looking over-exposed, whilst losing the background altogether thanks to the limited range and the harsh effect of direct flash
* Unique Fujifilm lighting systems such as Intelligent Flash, which assesses the scene and sets power output accordingly, and Natural Light plus Flash, which takes one shot with, and one without flash and pops both up side-by-side for easy comparison (for those times when you do want to shed a little more light on your photo)
* Continuous shooting, which keeps shooting until the shutter button is released, then retains either the first or final three frames, for action sequence photography
* Dual compatibility for xD-Picture Card™ and Secure Digital memory card formats
* Integrated lens so users never have to invest in more lenses or worry about dust on the sensor (a common problem with SLR cameras and detachable lenses). Plus a huge 10x zoom range, with 1cm Super Macro shooting capability, so that everything from close-ups of loved ones to landscapes of honeymoon beaches is in range, and pin-sharp thanks to the unrivalled quality of Fujinon, Fujifilm’s renowned lens division, optics
* Fujifilm’s unique Anti-blur technology, which assesses the scene and optimises the ISO sensitivity setting so that the camera can use a fast shutter speed, even in limited light, freezing even fast-moving action without blur
* Movie recording, with sound, for those times when a still image isn’t enough. Electronic Image Stabilisation ensures handheld movies do not suffer from blur caused by camera shake
* Bright 2.5-inch, 230,000-pixel screen with 60fps refresh rate and Wide View filter for easy framing, reviewing and sharing of images, even in bright sunlight
* 12 scene position modes
* Powered by 4 AA batteries
* 26MB internal memory

The innovative Nikon technologies include an exclusive 12.1 mega pixel FX format (36.0×23.9mm) image sensor with 12-channel read out, a blazing-fast 9 fps frame rate, added ISO settings from 200-6400, new 51-Point auto focus system, a 3-inch VGA LCD screen with Live View and a cutting-edge image processing system. The Nikon D7 gives you a high signal to noise ratio, a pixel pitch 15% larger than competitive cameras, gap less surface micro-lenses and advanced on-chip noise reduction that enables you get high-quality images under very low light levels. The sensor enables an ISO settings range from 200-6400. The Scene Recognition System in Nikon’s is with renowned 1005-pixel RGB metering sensor that has been modified to distinguish subjects position and shape for improved auto exposure and auto focus.

The Nikon D7 enables you high definition, the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port for output to the latest HD displays to the 3-inch VGA LCD screen with 170-degree viewing angle.

Canon Ixy 820IS is introduced by Canon Inc. as the successor of the Ixy 810 digital camera.The Ixy 820IS boasts some enhancement compared to 810 including a bigger sensor from 8MP to 10 MP, ISO from 1600 to 3200 and Lens from 35-140mm to 37-185mm.

The retail package will include Ixy 820IS camera, hand strap, a 32 MB SD card, rechargeable battery with its charger, driver CD, data cable and an AV cable.Will be available this Spring, no pricing is informed so far.

The E-3 features the world’s fastest* auto-focusing speeds thanks to an advanced AF system and new ZUIKO DIGITAL SWD lenses. Matched with shutter speeds of up to 1/8000th sec. and 5fps sequential shooting, the E-3 gives photographers a crucial edge to help capture that decisive shot.

Ensuring the best image quality in the widest range of situations, this new professional model also incorporates a powerful built-in image stabilisation system which is capable of compensating against the effects of camera shake to the equivalent of up to 5 EV steps. This is complemented by a 10 Megapixel High Speed Live MOS sensor and Olympus’ TruePic III image processing engine. Together with the ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses – which are custom-made for the needs of D-SLR photography – photographers can rely on optimal results each time.

The Olympus E-3 will be available from the end of November 2007. The body only will be available for approximately £1099, the kit with the 14-54mm lens for approximately £1499 and the kit with the new 12-60mm lens for approximately £1699.

Some will undoubtedly question Nikon for ‘only’ delivering twelve mega pixels on their first full frame digital SLR, all we can presume by looking at past model line history is that this camera is designed for speed.
