PC Magazine - Casio’s sleek new Exilim EX-Z1000 boasts a whopping 10-megapixel CCD. But is 10 megapixels too much of a good thing?
Proof - if it were needed - that the megapixel war is far from over comes today in the shape of the first (and we’re sure it won’t be the last) 10.1 megapixel compact, the Casio Exilim EX-Z1000, which joins the EX-Z850 at the top of the range. Built around a new 1/1.8 inch, 10.1 MP CCD, the EX-Z1000 boasts a large, bright 2.8-inch LCD screen, 3x zoom and 37 Best Shot modes. It also features Casio’s ‘Anti Shake’ DSP (digital stabilization) and an ISO 3200 High Sensitivity mode. We’ve got a few exclusive hands-on images after the link too.

Eastman Kodak Co. has today announced its new EasyShare V610 digital camera. The Kodak EasyShare V610 is based on the twin-lens design concept that first debuted in the EasyShare V570 - a camera that included both a 39 - 117mm optical zoom lens, and a 23mm fixed focal-length lens, each coupled to their own five megapixel CCD image sensor. The V610 takes that idea a step further, featuring not one, but *two* optical zoom lenses. A 38 - 114mm eq…

OTTAWA–April 17, 2006–According to a study from InfoTrends Research, more than 50 percent of digital camera owners have no plan for dealing with the photos sitting on their hard drives. With imaging research firm Lyra Research predicting that nearly 500 million digital images will be saved on hard drives by 2009, it’s easy to see why most consumers are confused, and how the allure of digital photography can be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of photos on the home PC.
Kodak’s EasyShare digital camera and docking system is celebrating its fifth birthday this month.

Kodak has today announced the EasyShare V610 dual lens camera. The 6.1 MP compact has the same sleek styling - and dual lens system - as the V570, announced in January. This time Kodak are using two Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon all-glass prism zooms (and two CCDs) to cover a much wider 10x range (equivalent of 38-380mm). The V610 also features a large 2.8-inch LCD, Bluetooth wireless technology and sensitivity up to ISO 800. Looks like an interesting (and much slimmer) alternative to the Panasonic TZ1 - though without the benefit of optical image stabilization.
Mamiya-OP is to sell its Optical Equipment Division, it was announced yesterday to Cosmos Scientific Systems Inc. Mamiya, which has been producing cameras since the late 1940’s, failed to capitalize on its success in the medium format market when the digital revolution swept through professional photography. After first being announced at Photokina 2004, the innovative Mamiya ZD ‘medium format’ digital SLR and back didn’t hit the shelves until last month, by which time many professionals had switched to digital SLRs based on 35mm bodies. At this time it doesn’t look like the end of the line for Mamiya as a camera brand, and we hope the new owners can make a viable business from this venerable name in professional photography.
Mamiya, manufacturer of leading medium format cameras, such as the digital Mamiya ZD, has announced that its Optical Equipment Division will be transferred to a new company on September 1, 2006.

Building on Mamiya’s reputation and world wide distribution network, the new company will be able to achieve an even higher level of customer satisfaction. Service of Mamiya products will also be handled by Cosmo Digital Imaging…

The 7.1-megapixel, 3x-zoom Olympus SP-310 is an excellent performer where it counts: printed image quality. It has a wealth of features in a surprisingly compact body; and though it’s not the most attractive design (in our eyes, anyway) you’ll start to like it right away when you shoot with it. Featuring a full range of exposure control, in addition to 24 preset Scene modes, th…
