Both the Picsio pocket camcorder models, the GC-FM2 and the GC-WP10 offers smooth shooting with their video image stabilization, the camcorders can shoot still images up to 5 megapixel and they saves the video in MPEG4 format. The best thing about both the camera is that they both can handle 1080p/30frames per second of video recording, together with inferior resolutions such as 720/60p. Considering the smaller sizes of the cameras, the company has saved some material by not making them compatible with SD/SDXC/ SDHC memory cards and the cameras works with Eye-Fi cards for any sort of wireless sharing; the GC-FM2 model comes with a USB connection providing easy side loading, while the WP10 model is capable of recording stereo MP3 audio at the same time as shooting. Both the cameras offers time-lapse recording, so you can easy condense numerous hours in few minutes. Both the GC-FM2 and the GC-WP10 are compatible with Apple’s iMovie video editing software  [...]

Kodak concluded its launches for the year by launching its highest-end pocket camcorder, so far. The Kodak PlayTouch is the highest-end pocket camcorder from Kodak and the camera comes with a 3-inch, capacitive touchscreen. The 3 inch capacitive touchscreen results in positioning all the controls for the camera in its back. Altering the controls to the back of the camcorder also helps in review, because the Kodak PlayTouch comes with the capability to display to landscape in accordance to the controls for editing in addition to tagging movies for later sharing on  social networking websites like YouTube and Facebook. The design of the camcorder helps it shoots video from an indigenous 1080p along with the software-based image stabilization and can capture equal to around five-megapixel still shots. The camera comes with an SDHC card slot, so for extra storage requirement you always can use the SDHC car slot. The expansion slot for the camcorder includes both an HDMI output to view the  [...]

Sony clearly is one of the big names in the camera manufacturer’s world, and keeping up to its reputation the company recently proclaimed its two new dSLRs; Alpha SLT-A55V and SLT-A33. The all new Sony Alpha SLT-A55V and Sony SLT-A33 promises to deliver immensely fast speeds both for still photography and for video recording, as they makes use of the highly ground-breaking translucent mirror technology. Though, the video recording from the camera is a commonplace among the SLRs since when the feature was introduced for the very first time in the Nikon D90 in 2008. Though, Sony is the late entrant in this forte and the company introduced its video-free dSLRs as recently as June this year. But, just like typical Sony, the electronics giant has broke open onto the scene and has introduced three all new dSLRs,  [...]

The Fujifilm FinePix S2550HD is yet another entrant in the already flooding segment of megazoom cameras, which are available at a wide range of price points and from small to large sizes all. The 18x zoom Fujifilm FinePix S2550HD comes under the “budget” category and could be bought at less than $250; you can even get the camera for less than $200, as well. That price for a camera that has a lens with its reach is really great. The shooting features of the camera are superb for its class including manual and semi-manual controls. As well as plenty of several burst shooting options. The camera also has an electronic viewfinder, which many of the camera manufacturers have started dropping from their lower-end megazooms. Conversely, though the FinePix S2550HD looks like a shrunken digital SLR, but the shooting performance for the camera is really slow. So it will be hard here to capture the photo of moving subjects like a child or vehicle or even your pet. One another thing worth noticing  [...]

There are quite a number of submersible camcorders available in market these days. So there actually isn’t much to talk about them, but while many of the camcorders promises of being submersible, do you actually would like to take chances with those camcorders and would you actually down them in salt water? The answer would be a clear “No”. That’s the thing about these so called submersible camcorders, they promises of being waterproof at a certain depth, but not many of them actually sustain that depth in salty water. This is where the need of something that can let you carry your camcorder at decent depth arises and this is where our JVC Marine Case comes into play. If you shoot a lot underwater then the JVC Marine Case is a must have accessory for you. Although, being manufactured by JVC, this Marine case is compatible with only JVC camcorders, but the good news is that it fits a couple of JVC models. The best thing about the JVC Marine Case is that it can  [...]

We've waited a long time to see a high-definition pocket friendly camcorder having an optical zoom lens, but now the wait is over and finally Sanyo has delivered what we’ve been asking for a long period of time. The Sanyo Xacti VPC-PD2 is the latest high-def pocket camcorder from Sanyo and the camcorder comes with an optical zoom. The pocket-friendly VPC-PD2 comes with an optical zoom lens of 3X, which ranges from a 38mm wide angle to a 114mm telephoto, in addition to this the camcorder also has stereo microphone on the edges of the camera. It’s worth noticing that the Sanyo VPC-PD2 is the first pocket camcorder from Sanyo, although they have been manufacturing ultracompact high-definition camcorder for quite a long period of time now. Specification and Features The Sanyo Xacti VPC-PD2 is capable of recording 1080p MPEG-4 video in high-definition at the rate of 30 frames/second at its top-resolution setting (the camcorder also has the capability of capturing 720p video  [...]

Nikon announced on Thursday that it would make an entry level dSLR which can record video with continuous focus. The Nikon D3100 D-SLR is the successor to D3000, last year’s entry level camera from this company. the D3100 has continuous auto-focus, special HD video recording feature that no other DSLR has offered to date. Till today, the dSLRs could just auto-focus on command but it was quite slot because the processor of the camera had to capture the image info, save and display it on the screen and also auto-focus. The D3100 will be carrying a Expeed 2, a new image processor which can accomplish this easily. But the company didn’t give any specific information about the processor or clock speed. The D3100’s autofocus feature is similar to that of a camcorder but we expect some limitations here because the lens noise will be audible when you refocus or zoom in and out. The only cameras to offer a lens with auto-focus and silent zooming as the Micro Four Thirds. They are much smaller  [...]

There are a lot of things to be liked about the entry-level Canon Vixia HF R10 or its HF R10 series of "high-definition" camcorders, like its user interface, which clearly is a lot better than most of its expensive sibling. One another impressive thing about this camcorder is the headphone and mic jacks, which are hardly seen in the camera of this class. But the camera gives us flashbacks of the early HD days when most if the camcorders where most of the camcorders where using comparatively low-resolution sensors and for up converting the video from 1440 x 1080 pixel resolution, either in hardware or software, to authentic HD 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. Also, its worth noticing that the Vixia HF R10 is not all that cheap and for its modest price the camcorder lets you capture the video at 1664 x 936 pixels and up converts it into 1920 x 1080 pixels before it saves the video using the AVCHD codec. The camcorder models having internal memory are  [...]

Despite the fact that the 3D movies are suffering from some kind of backlash in the market, the technology vendors are still working towards pushing the 3D content forward. The modern technology vendors are working to compel the modern consumers that the 3D technology in comparison to the 2D technology is what the talkies were in comparison to silent films. The 3D products are entering the market on a regular basis and the latest 3D product among them all to hot the market is Fujifilm's new FinePix Real 3D W3 digital camera. The FinePix Real 3D W3 basically is a point-and-shoot camera, which lets you capture both videos and photos in 3D. The FinePix Real 3D W3 is expected to enter the market in early September. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the camera even before in enters the market, and we spend some time with the W3 at one of Fujifilm's press event. After spending some time with the camera we came to know that although the camera definitely is not cheap, and has only 3X  [...]
