Point & Shoot Cameras

The Samsung MV800 is a new point-and-shoot camera with a flip-out 3-inch LCD screen, which opens up a world of creative shooting and fun by allowing you to compose pictures from numerous angles. 

It can be very difficult to select a point-and-shoot digital camera to buy from the hundreds of models that are available. That’s why is makes sense to simply buy one that does it all. Samsung's WB750 Digital Camera can meet all of your photographic needs, and then some—a good preventive measure against buyer’s remorse.

Samsung has announced a third-generation NX-series compact mirrorless camera, the Samsung NX200. Similar in size, shape and flat-top profile to its sleek and ergonomically designed predecessor, the Samsung MX100, the new NX200’s biggest draw might very well be its 20.1MP, APS-C format CMOS imaging sensor.

If you were to design your own point-and-shoot digital camera you would no doubt give it a large sensor, a bright lens, a wide optical viewfinder and maybe even a slick, blacked-out retro design. 

 

Panasonic has just announced a snazzy new point and shoot that’s sure to please. The pocket-size Lumix DMC-FH7 is only 3.75 inches wide by 2.22 inches high by 0.76 inch thick and it weighs only 0.28 pound with the battery and SD card installed.

New Camera Season 2011 is here, and to celebrate this annual phenomenon Nikon is introducing six new CoolPix cameras, the beefiest of which is the Nikon CoolPix P7100.

Sony has announced a real-deal update of its mirrorless alpha NEX-5—the Sony alpha NEX-5n. The new camera contains a number of true improvements over the original NEX cameras.

The newest title holder for the world’s thinnest camera with a 28mm wide-angle lens is Canon’s PowerShot ELPH 510 HS, which in addition to its 28 to 336mm equivalent zoom lens, features a 12.1MP CMOS sensor, a DIGIC 4 image processor and a wide, 3.2" touch-panel LCD with a Touch-shutter mode that allows you to fire the shutter by tapping on the screen.

Canon’s new PowerShot ELPH 310 HS is an ultra-slim pocket camera that features an optically stabilized 8x (28 to 224mm equivalent) zoom lens and a 12.1MP CMOS sensor, which is powered by a Canon DIGI 4 image processor.

Canon’s new AA-battery-powered PowerShot SX150 IS features a hi-res 14.1MP imaging sensor backed by a Canon DIGIC 4 image processor, a 12x (28 to 336mm equivalent) zoom lens and a large 3.0" LCD.

Fuji has announced a replacement camera for its popular F550 EXR compact superzoom digital camera; the Fujifilm Finepix F600 EXR. Fuji’s newest compact superzoom features a ½" 16MP back-illuminated EXR CMOS sensor, a 3.0” 460,000-dot LCD and a narrow profile, 24-360mm equivalent zoom lens.

Back in the early days of photography, panoramic photographs, which by definition are wide-field, unbroken sweeps of scenery, were captured using cameras with pivoting lens turrets that “painted” the image across a wide sheet of film as the lens rotated from left to right (or vice versa).

“Summer” is short for “let’s get out of the house and hit the shore, the trails, or anywhere else one can get out and enjoy those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer…” and don’t forget the camera.  But before you start wrapping your digital camera in bubble wrap to protect it from the ravages of surf and turf, you might want to check out the dozens of waterproof, crushproof and shockproof pocket cameras we stock at B&H.

Ricoh’s GXR module camera system, one of the more “curious” camera systems to come down the pike in quite some time, curiously enough, just might become the next “it” camera with the announcement of its long-awaited M-mount module.

Sony has announced a new point and shoot, the DSC-TX55 Cyber-shot. It’s loaded with a 16.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor and a host of other new features. Thin enough to slip into a shirt pocket, the DSC-TX55 is only 12.2mm thick.
