Another Sony Cyber-shot rears its head… for a while

Edvarcl Heng | Aug 17, 2007

It appeared out of nowhere on Sony's Canadian site and, just as mysteriously, slid back into the cyberspace wilderness.

No one seems to have caught more than a snapshot of this camera. After its debut on the Sony Web site, it was taken right down again when camera sites like Steve's Digicams and Wired took note. For what it's worth, the Cyber-shot H3 is an 8-megapixels camera with 10x optical zoom. According to Steve's Digicams, the H3 does not have an aperture or a shutter priority mode. At press time, Sony Asia had not reverted back on our queries regarding this mystery digicam.

Samsung's new cameras: Second batch

Will Greenwald, CNET.com | Aug 13, 2007

Following in the footsteps of last year's Samsung NV3, the i85 doubles as both a digital camera and a portable media player. The 8-megapixel aluminum shooter measures just 20.3mm thick and features a 36mm- to 180mm-equivalent internal zoom lens.

It can play MP3s and its 3-inch touchscreen can be used to watch movies. If those features aren't enough, the i85 also incorporates Samsung's World Tour Guide feature, first seen earlier this year on the L74 Wide.

Samsung also announced the next wave of its midrange NV-series of cameras, the NV8, NV15, and NV20. These three cameras sport 8-, 10-, and 12-megapixel sensors, and all feature brushed black, stainless steel bodies, and 3x optical zoom lenses.

Like most of the last generation of NV-cameras, these three use Samsung's unusual Smart Touch interface. Instead of buttons or a touch screen, a series of touch sensors lining the cameras' 2.5-inch screens control all the important settings and features.

At press time, Samsung Asia did not disclose any availability or pricing details.

BenQ E1000: The metallic shooter

Edvarcl Heng | Aug 07, 2007

When it comes to fashion cameras, it’s the body feminine, not the masculine, that's celebrated. BenQ thinks otherwise. Its second 10-megapixel camera (after the BenQ C1050) has a metallic casing and hue that say sexy cosmopolitan. Indeed, BenQ calls it a celebration of manhood. But we think the Taiwanese firm was not referring to the male geek when it wrote that.

Features on the E1000 are middling. Besides the 10-megapixel image capture, there're very few things to go wow about. Maximum ISO is just 1,600 and optical zoom stretches to only 3x. The internal memory is also just a paltry 6MB and it's not even compatible with SDHC cards. But the saving grace? At least there's a optical image stabilizer.

At press time, BenQ had no availability information for the Asia region.
