Ricoh Caplio GX100 review

IFA 2007 Report
Monday 6th, August 2007
Posted by: Ralf Jurrien

Many photographers dream of a compact digital camera with a fine zoom range, including a true wide-angle, one that gives a high resolution and can also store images in RAW. Until recently this remained just a dream. But fortunately there is the opinionated Ricoh, who seems to make the dream come true. With the DIWA Gold Award rewarded GR Digital, Ricoh already has an exceptional camera with a fine wide-angle and RAW support. The Ricoh Caplio GX100 takes it a step further: more wide-angle, more pixels and an optical zoom including image stabilization. What more can a photographer ask for?

Panasonic Lumix FZ18 test photos

Posted by: Ilse Jurrien Wednesday 25th, July 2007

At the press conference in Dublin I was able to shoot with the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 digital Megazoom camera. The Panasonic Lumix FZ18 is a camera for the photographer who is into a variety of photographic shooting. Although the camera is easy to handle and incorporates a range of pre-programmed scenes, it is offering a range of photographic settings like P/S/A/M for the more experienced photographer. I took the Panasonic camera with me to the Dublin area and was able to test the new intelligent camera features in combination with the MEGA O.I.S system. I have to remind you that the images of the Panasonic Lumix FZ18 are still a pre-production level, not final level!

During my short stay in Dublin I was able to visit the Guinness Storehouse and took some sample shots with the new Casio Exilim EX-Z1200 digital compact camera. The Casio Z1200 offers 12 Megapixel resolution and incorporates CCD-shift image stabilization and the latest Exilim Engine 2.0 image processing module with motion analysis technology. In addition, the Casio Exilim Z1200 features auto-tracking AF system that now combines both face detection and motion analysis technologies. With this revolutionary new system, once the focus is locked in, it follows a moving subject’s face, maintaining both sharp focus and correct exposure. The Casio Z1200 is packed in a solid stylish designed housing.

In the period before, during and just after the IFA 2007 event a lot of interesting digital cameras are introduced and will be introduced. Among them are digital SLR cameras, a product that has become very popular among the digital camera users. The IFA 2007 consumer electronics trade show is a great time to showcase the new cameras and its innovations. Though the camera is a product that has been around for a while, this product is still evoluting and incorporated high-end techniques. This year we have seen an upgrade in resolution in the compact camera segment with a maximum, for now, of an impressive 12 Megapixels. The DSLR camera is hanging around 10 Megapixels, but will be upgraded to higher resolutions and faster frames per second. Hang around and keep your eye on the digital camera news section of IFA 2007.
