Camera manufacturers are gearing up for the holiday shopping season by releasing a slew of new models. Here's what's been announced so far.
The long-awaited Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 was announced Wednesday.
(Credit: Panasonic)As I mentioned back at the end of June, camera manufacturers are beginning to announce models for the second half of 2010. Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, and Samsung have made their announcements, three of them doing so early Wednesday morning.
Sony and Panasonic are launching mostly high-end models as well as a couple updates to older, popular models. Samsung refreshed its flagship DualView cameras and introduced a 7x zoom ultracompact for $180. And Fujifilm announced replacements to three models that were barely six months old as well as a significant update to its groundbreaking F200EXR.
