The Photo Marketing Association (PMA) just held their annual show where new cameras have traditionally been introduced. Here's a run down of some hot new cameras announced at PMA or just before.
1. Samsung's Answer to the Powershot S90
The word from Anaheim was that Samsung is getting serious about cameras and looking to take on the big boys with a new line of compact cameras including this beauty, the TL500. It has a rather hefty price tag of $450 along with very impressive specs that include an ultra-wide angle 24mm Schneider Kreuznach, super fast F/1.8 aperture lens, dual image stabilization modes and the thing everyone was ooh'ing an ah'ing over, a 3-inch AMOLED display.
2. Sony Swimsuit Edition
Sony wowed the crowd at PMA with this $350 compact camera that features a 10X optical zoom, 25mm wide angle lens, big 3-inch LCD screen and as if that wasn't enough, it's dust proof and waterproof to 10 feet. Oh and did we also say it's freezeproof too?
3. Sony Concept Camera
It doesn't appear that Sony is ready to throw in with the micro four thirds alliance of Panasonic and Olympus quite yet but they are coming close with the camera they previewed at PMA . The Alpha camera has a big CMOS sensor which should make for some good low-light performance. It supports interchangeable lenses and it’s nice looking too. Here's a video from PMA:
4. New Canon Rebel With a Cause
Here comes the replacement for the very popular Rebel T1i. The Canon EOS Rebel T2i will cost $900 with an entry level lens and includes a new 18-megapixel CMOS sensor, 6400 ISO, 1080p video at 30 fps, and a 3-inch LCD screen. Look for the T2i to be available sometime in March.
5. New Nikon Coolpix Has Nice Features, But…
This new $400 Nikon Coolpix P100 does 1080p video, includes a 10.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, a wide angle Nikkor lens with 26X optical zoom and a bunch of other impressive features like 120 fps burst mode. It even has HDMI for showing your HD videos on your TV. The only problem is early reviews say the image quality just is so so.
6. Kodak? Who Would Have Thought?
Kodak, we never thought you had it in you to produce such a sexy camera. This super thin, $350 compact camera has a gigantic 3.5 inch, 16:9 touchscreen display. It includes a 14-megapixel sensor, a 5X optical zoom and does 720p video.
