Ricoh Caplio R6: Capturing more

Edvarcl Heng | Mar 08, 2007

Ricoh has announced the Caplio R6, a compact digicam equipped with a 7.1x wide zoom (28 - 200mm) lens barrel that would certainly enable this tiny camera to capture more than its non-wide-angled brethren. Already available in Singapore at S$799 (US$578.61), the R6 takes after its predecessor, the R5 with its CCD-shift image stabilizer, but with the addition of a face-detection feature that has been cropping up in most new digicams and a 2.7-inch screen. Internal memory has also been upped to 54MB in comparison to the R5 (26MB)

D40X: Aging the D40

Edvarcl Heng | Mar 06, 2007

Retirement. That must be what the D40 was thinking when its successor, the D40X, was announced today. Just a few months after the D40 was released, it's already old hat. The D40X goes one up on the D40 with a 10.2-megapixel sensor versus the D40's now paltry 6.1-megapixel offering. For the same-sized dimensions, the D40X packs a lower base sensitivity (ISO 100) and a faster burst mode (3fps vs. 2.5fps). The D40X is projected to launch in Asia on March 29.

Olympus rolls out new E-series dSLRs and a Âµ

Edvarcl Heng | Mar 05, 2007

As we reported last week, March 5 is the day of reckoning… for Olympus camera aficionados. Since the E-500 won our Editors' Choice award in 2005, we have been pining for its successor. The Japanese firm is updating its E500 with the E-510 which features live preview (framing image via LCD screen instead of the viewfinder), an in-body image stabilizer (IS) and an old friend--the Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF). Along with the E-510 is the E-410 which is pretty much akin to the former, save for the lack of an IS.

While the spotlight will be on Olympus' new dSLRs, there's also room for a new compact camera, the µ 780. As with Olympus' tradition, the 7-megapixel camera is waterproof and offers 5x optical zoom as well as a Dual Image Stabilization for IS properties.

Both the E-410 and the µ 780 will be available in May, while those eager for the E-510 will have to wait till June for its debut. Compare them here
