To date, we are shocked, shocked that Sony has not released a point and shoot with 720p video recording. Especially since its marketing campaign called HDNA cross products, the lack of HD cameras in its range has been unclear. Finally, Sony on board: the new Cybershot DSC-T500 does just that. I saw a demo a few weeks ago, and because it uses a more advanced codec (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) than its competitors, namely, Kodak and Panasonic’s image was more accurate color and exposure (which is saying a lot because it gave me lots of love for Kodak cameras 720p).

The camera has 10.1 megapixel 5x optical zoom, 3.5 inch touch screen, ISO up to 3200, HDMI output, Intelligent Scene Recognition, Face Detection, reading, filter waste can face, and smile shooting settings. It will cost $ 399.

In addition to the P6000, a GPS, the beast of 13.5 megapixels, Nikon has released five point and shoot with a variety of features, the company Wi-Fi touchscreen. Here is a description of each:

It’s a busy day in the new camera! Today, Sony introduced two point and shoots, the Cybershot DSC-T700 and DSC-T77. The T77 is pretty basic, but the T700 is interesting because it has 4 GB of internal storage. That’s enough space to store 1,000 images in full resolution (10.1 MP) or 40,000 of the VGA. In organizing device seems to be a growing trend among manufacturers of cameras, and is an excellent starting point: for those who like to show moving pictures, and would not use a capture device and a PMP for the storage, a good idea.

Today I had the opportunity to pitch in TZ50west nePanasonic Panasonic Lumix point-and-shoots, the TZ50 Wi-Fi ($ 449) and touch screen decorated FX500 ($ 399). We take our own units ready soon, but meanwhile, here are some first impressions:

DMC-TZ50

As noted earlier, the TZ50 is integrated 802.11b / g Wi-Fi, integration with Google Picasa, and work at places like T-Mobile HotSpot. (Bonus: Comes with one year of free service.) Much to the embarrassment of my guests today, took several attempts to successfully download the photo, and when he did took a few minutes. To be fair, even if we were in a hotel with a T-Mobile HotSpot, we are not in the same room as your router. Otherwise, there is much to like about the first Wi-Fi camera from Panasonic:

* Unlike EyeFi that automatically downloads all your photos at once, the Panasonic interface lets you cherry pick your albums that you take Google’s Picasa.
* While the main attraction of having a Wi-Fi camera is that you can upload photos on the fly, you can also use Panasonic interface to display your Picasa album when you’re away from your computer.
* The camera is an excellent power management, uses less than one watt when Wi-Fi is active, which means you can download images and still take about 300 photos before the battery offers.

DMC-FX500

What I like the camera screen from Panasonic is the first contact coPanasonic FX500mpany obviously not brought a touch interface just to be fashionable. They seem to have learned from other companies, including small icons allow ourselves unnecessarily spice to the screen with the relatively large size fingers. In addition to a pen, the FX500 has a panel of buttons on the right side of the LCD screen as a device without touching, you can always return to the traditional input button if you feel frustrated. (Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300 will not give users this option.)

But they have not yet learned the best part (they have buttons next to a touch screen, after all, not long ago). Panasonic FX500 screenAlthough capacitive touch not touch the touch screen is more intuitive than the cameras of the other touch screen, where all you can do is press the icons as if “they were the buttons. Here you can adjust the focus by dragging your finger a slide on the screen (remember to unlock the iPhone). Better yet, when you’re in playback mode, you can click a photo in which you want to enlarge and drag your finger to move the image. If only I could slip through images that I can on the iPhone.

It is too early to say I’m impressed, but I know I’m excited about the idea more concrete time with these new models. Stay tuned for full reviews.

Panasonic has unveiled its first touchscreen camera today DMpanasonic-Lumix DMC-FX500-fx500.jpgC ($ 399), whose hybrid interface includes a joystick and a screen that reacts to your finger and stylus. Although I can not wait until capacitive touch found its way into the camera, I am glad that Panasonic has decided to throw in a joystick (the new Kodak EasyShare V1073, by comparison, has only four dedicated buttons lining touchscreen). Panasonic at least seems to have understood that, until now, the cameras on the touch screen at least were not as practical as be.So paint, this is what you do with the 3-inch touch screen: the use of cursors screen to adjust aperture and shutter speed, adjust the auto focus and exposure by simply touching the object on the screen at the register, scroll through the images in playback mode and to organize and edit photos using a keyboard on the screen.

Apart from the touch screen, the FX500 packs 10.1 megapixels each specifications you’d expect to see at a high level point and shoot: 5x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, 720p video, face detection In camera-eye correction Red Intelligent Auto Mode, which automatically detects the shooting environment and selects the best scene mode. (Like Lumix cameras, has also spent 21 scene modes, you can select manually.) Wait to start shipping in May.

TomTom GO 740 Live announced this morning a personal navigation device TomTom IQ Routes AA offers later, with real-time traffic without RSS feeds, local search, and more. We were pleased to get their hands on the device the night before, and Aore Äôve happy with what I have seen so far.

The 740 GB Live measures 3.4 x 5 x 0.9 inches and weighs just 7.9 oz. It has a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 pixel resolution touch screen, 2 GB of internal memory and Bluetooth for hands free calling. Its built-in support from the SIM card and a GPRS modem to maintain the updates, but more importantly for Google search and data traffic.

TomTom IQ Routes AOS automatically calculates the fastest route based on time of day, Aore behavior. This information is drawn from a database of historical data travel over the past two years to 1.8 trillion miles across the road. TomTom told us that usually means that if you take Aore Main Street every day on his way to work, but always flooded in the movement of SOA to 8 hours, the unit automatically shuts off the road you want to avoid traffic.

Thanks to its receptor GPRS, the device can capture traffic in real time every 2 to 5 minutes on your journey. It then offers another way to save time. TomTom offers this service free for the first year, but Hasn, Aot yet announced the subscription price will follow.

Verizon last Android phone in his name for a fast processor, strong 8-megapixel camera, excellent screen and a friendly interface HTC multitasking.

Motorola Droid owners now have a reason to be jealous. Verizon third and probably the best phone HTC Droid Droid is incredible, a powered device Android 2.1 with an updated version of the HTC interface is the sense. Incredible trackpad sport a stylish black and red, optical trackball instead of one, and a bright 3.7-inch 480 x 800 AMOLED capacitive touch screen. If this is not enough, the incredible comes with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, an 8-MP camera strong and the ability to unite the right of the box (take that, iPhone). Even if we have complaints, and the $ 199 price will be too strong for some, throughout the Incredible is a smartphone sweet.
Design

Awesome is a beautiful phone black with red accents (ie, its ties to Verizon). It measures 4.6 x 2.3 x 0.5 inches, which makes it very portable, thin and weighs 4.6 oz. It is much lighter than the droid Motorola (6 ounces), but the same weight as the GSM version of the One Nexus. He felt light enough that sometimes we notice in our pocket. At the top, there is a headphone jack and 3.5mm power button, which serves as a button Sleep / wake when the phone is switched on. The right side of the unit is clean and free of buttons, sailed houses a micro-USB port and a volume rocker.

When you return the most incredible and look in the back, things start to look busy. There is a large chamber, 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash red sitting on a plate with an odd number, terraced design that resembles a topographical map. We wonder if the peaks and raises the example of a design feature of arbitrariness, but when you remove the battery cover emblazoned HTC, you will find that they are there because the interior of the phone. He was also hit with more red than you’ve ever seen in a camera both inside and battery are bright red. You either love it or hate it.
