With U Point technology, users can quickly select areas of an image to adjust by pointing and clicking and then using simple to use mouse-controlled sliders to adjust...

No video? Wow, that's going against the grain, especially for a company like Sony.

None of Sony's current crop of DSLRs have video and while that certainly bucks the trend industry-wide, I personally think video is "nice to have" but not a deal breaker for a DSLR. Folks who are serious about video quality aren't gonna be buying DSLRs to shoot video as their primary medium, so I just don't think the presence or absence of a video component in a DSLR is that big of a deal. But every camera company with...

In my view video than cannot autofocus while the video is being filmed is crippled. And hardly any of these DSLR videos will AF while filming. Wonder how many camera salesmen point that out to customers? Oh well, Kelly

Nikon has released a few different touch screen point and shoot digital cameras, but the Coolpix S70 is their first with an OLED screen (288k dot resolution, 3.5 inch touch panel OLED) instead of the typical liquid crystal display. Being that the S70 has only one button on the entire body (an optional shutter button on the top), it relies exclusively on hand gestures to control every other feature. These include swiping gestures to scroll...

"So 50% more pixels doesn't get you a 50% larger print." But of course it does. Just as the 50% pixel increase is an area increase the 50% increase of the print is in area as well. When you change from area to a line, the line ratio is the square root of the original area ratio. 46% area ratio (sorry, if you use hundredth of inches you can't use 50% instead of the more precise 46,3%...) means 20,9 % linear ratio and this is...

Interesting conclusion about the amount of noise at High ISO's, I've seen some sample images and read some articles which detail the improved ISO performance over the K10D. I've seen shots at ISO 1600 without any NR and they are very usable. Cameras don't...

Hi, I am new here and thinking of buying the G11 since my 16months old G9 just died suddenly yesterday . I found out it is because some loose screws caused a short circuit in the motherboard . Apparently the same is happening for the G10. My worry is will this also happen to the G11? Can't afford to go buying a new camera every 2 years.

Point and shoot digital cameras have come a long way in the past decade - most are now capable of capturing high quality images outdoors in good light. But digital cameras generally don't do as well in low-light situations, indoors, and after dark. Digital images shot in low light environments often show lots of noise and display flat, dull colors. Sony's new Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 was designed to change that. The WX1 utilizes an...
