The ways people use cameras are changing, especially after they capture a picture or video. Now, it’s all about point and share. Still, Canon hasn’t forgotten about the point-and-shoot part. For 2012, the company is releasing ten new PowerShot models that help make dreadful-picture taking a thing of the past, while including several models that streamline the ease of getting your creativity before the eyes of the world.
Sometimes the introduction of new cameras only makes choosing one that much more difficult. If you’ve been in the market for a new point-and-shoot camera, Panasonic’s announcement of four new Lumix cameras might just give you a good enough reason not to buy that other brand you had in mind.
Nikon has just announced updates to many of its already excellent digital cameras. If you were considering an older model fear not—Nikon has simply added some handy new features to the lineup as well as ergonomic enhancements that should be welcomed by all. Let’s see what’s being offered.
Sony has announced three new additions to its popular Cyber-shot pocket camera lineup that include a pair of sleek, very able point and shoots and an even sleeker shockproof, dustproof and waterproof pocket camera.
Announcing an abundance of FinePix cameras for 2012, Fujifilm is offering a point-and-shoot model for every need and budget. Cameras’ resolutions range from 12 to 16 Megapixels and optical zooms from 5x to 20x.The cameras integrate color LCDs ranging in size from 2.7 to 3 inches. A few have electronic viewfinders.
Pentax has announced a new pocket-sized digital camera which, despite its narrow profile, sports a 20x 28-560mm equivalent zoom lens. In addition to an expansive zoom range, the Pentax Optio VS20 features a second shutter release.
Olympus has introduced a quintet of new point-and-shoot digital cameras, at CES 2012, that include simple snappy-shoots, a new Tough series camera and a couple of pocket-sized super zooms.
Samsung has introduced a quartet of point-and-shoot cameras, each with a particular user in mind. Though varied in form and function, each of the new cameras shares what has seemingly become Samsung’s clean, Bauhaus-inspired approach to product design.
Sony has announced three new entry-level digital pocket cameras: the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W610, DSC-W620 and DSC-W650. The most basic of the trio is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W610, which features a 14.1MP Super HAD CCD imaging sensor (1/2.3"), a 4x 28-114mm equivalent lens (at 16:9), a 2.7" 230k-dot LCD, and a top ISO sensitivity of 3200.
Panasonic announced a handsome assortment of slim and stylish 2012 Lumix point-and-shoot cameras today, and as you might expect, they all make it super easy to capture nice looking still images and create HD videos as well.
Some people say that the end of point-and-shoot cameras is near; that they will be displaced by cell-phone cameras. Well, that can’t possibly be true, as some of the best point and shoots ever made are just now being announced.
The new Canon PowerShot G1 X replaces the PowerShot G12, and offers improvements and advanced technologies that make this camera behave like it’s much larger than it really is. The compact G1 X is armed with a new 1.5-inch High Sensitivity CMOS sensor, which is larger than a 4/3" sensor, and nearly as big as the APS-C-sized sensors found in professional DSLRs.
The new Fujifilm X-S1 is the third in a series of Fujifilm Premium X-series digital cameras. Complementing FujiFilm’s X100 and X10, the Fujifilm X-S1 is a robustly built bridge camera designed around a Fujifilm 12Mp 2/3" CMOS sensor and a fast-for-its-class, 26x, 24 to 624mm f/2.8-5.6 equivalent Fujinon zoom lens.
Samsung has announced its newest “DualView” point-and-shoot camera, the Samsung DV300F DualView. As the DualView nameplate suggests, the new camera features a traditional 3.0-inch 460,000-dot TFT LCD on the rear of the camera and a smaller, 1.5-inch (61,000-dot) LCD on the faceplate, which enables you to shoot carefully composed self-portraits.
Even though the leaves are down and your frost-laden lawn makes crunchy sounds when you cross it in the morning, that doesn’t mean it’s time to pack your cameras away until March or April; if you do, you’re going to miss some fine picture-taking opportunities.
