Despite its small stature, the Panasonic DMC-GF1 offers features that can rival most D-SLR cameras. It includes other automated features that allow image capturing easy and convenient such as Automated Tracking and Face Detection modes for better image quality. Manual settings are also provided at optimum levels to allow advanced photographers to determine the best adjustments for certain conditions. The Lumix GF1 is available at Panasonic for US$900.

The availability of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 brings us the first true compact Micro Four Thirds Panasonic camera system. A device that has been eagerly awaited by many, because it would be great to have a camera system to the quality of a digital SLR yet the size of a compact camera? The Panasonic Lumix GF1 became real, and now it comes down to results of tests in practice, combined with the results of technical tests of DIWA labs to be able to reach a definitive conclusion impartial.

Sony Alpha DSLR A330

• 10.2MP effective resolution
• Image stabilization
• Intuitive GUI
• Quick AF Live View mode
• Dual slot (SD/Memory Stick)
• SAL1855 18-55mm standard zoom lens
• Variable-angle 2.7-inch TFT LCD
• 2.5 fps
• 23.6×15.8mm APS-C sensor

• BRAVIA Sync

A modest update over its predecessor, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A300, the Alpha DSLR-A330 offers the same essential feature set in a redesigned body with sufficient quality and performance-enhancing firmware tweaks to merit the term “upgrade.” And like its predecessor, the result is a generally solid, if not stellar, entry-level dSLR option.

The A330 is nearly identical to its cheaper sibling, the A230. The only differences are in the viewfinder–the A230′s has a much higher magnification, making it more comfortable to use–and in their LCDs. The LCDs are the same 2.7-inch model, but the A330′s can be tilted up perpendicular to the body or down at a 55 degree angle. The A330 also offers Live View shooting, while the A230 doesn’t. As they’re essentially the same camera, they should deliver the same image quality and performance. Sony also offers an identical but higher-resolution version of the A330, the 14-megapixelA380.

You can get the A330 in one of two color schemes, black and metallic gray and brown and metallic copper–the brown version won’t be available until the fall, though. Each comes in two kits: one with an 18-55mm lens (black,brown) and a dual-lens kit with that lens plus a 55-200mm model (black, brown). At the moment there’s no body-only version of the A330, but one could possibly surface later in its life cycle. As with all Sony dSLRs, you should be able to use any Minolta A mount lens with the camera.

The Kodak Zi8

Kodak Zi8 Pocket Digital Video Camera

Video recording technology has come a long way in a short time. A very few years ago, it was torture to lug around a huge video camera for every important event. And you only used it for important events because it was too much to carry otherwise.

Today, camcorders offer much lighter and more portable versions for video recording, as well as better features than the old video cameras. One of the best, most portable of all video recording devices is the Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder. Don’t let its small size fool you. It is loaded with features including HD technology as well as a handy little way to record everywhere you go.

The following features are what makes this HD pocket video camera a must have.

* Lightweight – This little wonder weighs in at under 4 ounces (without batteries) making it perfect for carrying around all the time.

* High Quality UltraHD Recording – You can now capture 1080 pixels video, which is much better than the 770 pixels that other pocket camcorders offer. This tiny pocket camcorder has built-in stabilization to cut down on the blur you get with regular video recording.

* 2.5 inch LCD Display – That’s no small display screen for a little pocket video camera. You can see what you are recording on an LCD screen.

* Storage Modules – You not only get 128 Megabytes built-in memory, but the Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder also supports SD cards with its built-in slots — meaning you can store more video footage. LOTS more. You can record up to 10 HOURS of video with this amazing little HD pocket camcorder.

* Still Photos – You can even take the most stunning stills with your Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder as it is capable of taking 16:9 widescreen HD still pictures at 5 Megapixel resolution.

* Upload Capabilities – This is a big deal nowadays. With this little portable pocket camcorder you can enjoy fast and easy optimized uploads to your favorite social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube.

The list of features and benefits of the Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder do not stop there. It has a built-in speaker and microphone for recording audio and listening to the playback while you watch it. If you are like most people, you don’t like using cables which makes the cable-free feature very appealing.
