This week in cameras
It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon busy week for digital cameras. Casio, Kodak, Nikon, and Panasonic all unveiled their latest cameras, and that means plenty of posts here on Crave. Here's a handy roundup of the new cameras announced this week.
- Casio's new V8 and Z1080 have nothing to do with engines or HDTV
- Kodak brings high-def video to two new cameras
- Kodak's new superzoom
- Panasonic gets serious about SLRs
- Nikon introduces two new affordable amateur cameras
- Nikon's latest Wi-Fi slimcam
- Nikon's new slim shooters
- Two new basic budget Nikons
suffering because they are not as high as some Canon models offering more
megapixels. After all the Nikon D2x, D2xs at 12.4 megapixels has produced
good photos even enlarged to 26"x36" size without suffering or loss of detail.
I see Nikon introducing another "D type high end" camera offering more
megapixels. But is it really needed to get great images unless your doing
fashion or magazine ads photos? I say no. Canon has higher megapixels in
there cameras than Nikon. Just as important is the way internal camera
electronics handles the image has a lot to do with how images will look also.
It is not always the most megapixels offered for images to look good. The
Nikon D3 will give great images even at 12.1 megapixels.
