The Finepix XP30 offers GPS and four-way protection: this camera is waterproof to 16', shockproof from a 5' fall, freezeproof to 14° F as well as being dustproof.

Traditionally, the 3D camera operated with two lenses to emulate the manner in which our two eyes see in "stereo," and produced two images at slightly different angles to create the 3D illusion. Here is a group of cameras that will give you the ability to create 3D images and videos that you can view on your home HDTV.

“Can I take pictures without the flash?”

That’s a question that a camera salesperson hears quite a bit. While virtually all compacts have built-in flashes, when used in automatic mode they can often produce images that appear to be washed out and lack any sort of ambience. Getting a good image with flash often requires the use of diffusers, wireless gadgets and techniques that are more than a little too intense for the average non-professional.

The Panasonic Lumix ZR3 has a true 25mm f/3.3 Leica Vario Elmar 8x wide-angle zoom lens and a 14MP CCD sensor. This camera shoots video in 720p HD and offers optical image stabilization.
