Fujifilm just announced their latest FinePix digital camera, the Z33WP. It targets those of us with a more adventurous spirit, since it is waterproof up to 3 meters and boasts large rubber-type buttons. Some features include a 10 megapixel sensor with 3x optical zoom and a 2.7″ LCD display that will provide instant previews.

The Z33WP only measures 20mm thin. You can choose from green, blue, black, gold and pink options. Though I can’t see most adventurers choosing pink. The FinePix Z33WP is expected to have a £200 price point.

This new monitor from LG is apparently only available in Japan at the moment. The W2261VG boasts a Full HD resolution TN panel LCD with 1000:1 contrast, 300 cd/m2 brightness and 160/170 viewing angles rating. Flip the switch and the 2ms rated panel can extend its 1000:1 contrast rating of up to 50k:1; revealing more details in darkly lit scenes.

As far as connectivity, it features HDMI, VGA and a HDCP compliant DVI-D digital port. Looks like its more suited for gaming and multimedia. It’s available now in Japan for $227.

This week has been big on new mobile phone announcements with Mobile World Congress 2009 going on and now things are heating up with lots of digital camera announcements as well. Samsung has introduced several new point-and-shoot digital cameras including the SL820.

Samsung’s SL820 is a 12.2-megapixel camera with a 5x optical zoom. The LCD is a 3-inch unit and the camera is capable of recording 720p HD video in H.264 format at 30 fps. To allow for easy viewing of video on your big screen the camera also features HDMI out.

Film 2 SD is another gadget that helps you transfer negatives from your old photo collection to an SD memory card. The device features an integrated LCD display so you can preview. It will let you mirror, flip or rotate your images for direct transfer onto your computer or SD card via USB.

For £119.95 you get a 1GB SD memory card, which is enough to store about 700 5 megapixel images. It’s also compatible with microSD/SDHC memory cards. Time to archive all of those old negatives so they’re safe.

This “Baby BlackBerry” is not from RIM, which would explain all that cheap plastic and the cutesy animal theme. It’s a Text and Learn PDA for kids from LeapFrog. Your little ones will have a jump start on the other kids when it comes to texting and churning out emails.

Alright, so it wont let them email everyone on your contact list. The device features a full QWERTY keyboard and a large LCD display. No Wi-Fi, which should keep your rugrat out of trouble. Just be aware that you are grooming your kid to ask for the real deal in just a few short years. And an unlimited data plan. It will be available in August for £19.99.

Albatron doesn’t waste any time. After Microsoft announced Windows 7 would natively support multi-touch displays, Albatron was one of the first to quickly create a prototype panel to take advantage of that functionality. Here we are, seven months later and the company is ready to let you buy one.

Of course, they are also using this opportunity to talk up their optical touch tech. It features sensors embedded in the bezel instead of the surface. Apparently this results in a brighter image with greater durability. Albatron is planning to release its 21.5-inch LCD in March. Details are scarce but we can tell you that the display will support 120Hz, with DVI and VGA inputs, and that it relays touch information to the PC via USB.

So here we are, another day a couple more Acer product announcements sans photos. Thanks Acer for forcing me to use another generic photo for the story. Anyway, the products may be of interest to some of you out there who are shopping for a new LCD or a small form factor PC.

Acer has announced its 23-inch touch control LCD that boasts full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. The display is called the Acer H233H bmid and sports a 75Mhz refresh rate, 5ms response time and a contrast ratio of 40000:1. Inputs include HDMI, DVI, and VGA with a MSRP of $229.99.

Most LCDs on the market today have plenty of brightness, good color reproduction and response times fast enough for gaming. Where the major differences in brands come in are things like color reproduction and the type of stand the display uses.

Most cheap LCDs have stands that only allow the screen to tilt slightly. When you type for eight hours or more on the LCD, it’s really important to be able to customize the display to your needs to prevent eye and neck strain. Acer has introduced a pair of new LCDs that are ergonomic, offering multiple adjustments for tilt, angle, and height.

When not dabbling in outlandish remote controls, Eizo is known for its their specialized monitors. Their latest announcement is a pair of new FlexScan LCDs that supposedly cover 95% of the Adobe RGB color space as well as 92% of the NTSC color spectrum.

The FlexScan S2242W-H and FlexScan S2232W-E are both 22-inchers. The FlexScan S2242W-H features a full 1920×1200 resolution and the FlexScan S2232W-E is 1680×1050. Otherwise, the pair are pretty identical. Some other specs include: 1,200:1 contrast ratio, a 12ms black-to-white response time, VGA and HDCP-capable DVI ports (no HDMI), a pair of USB ports, and a pair of built-in 0.5W speakers.

The Cinema 21:9 is claiming to be the planet’s first cinema-proportioned LCD TV, so this should be the ultimate LCD to watch movies on. The 56 inch diagonal will also feature Ambilight technology around the borders. I know what you’re thinking. This isn’t real. Some of you will claim photoshop. We were skeptical too, but it turns out that it’s the real deal.

According to Philips, the panel will be shipping this Spring in Germany, Belgium, the UK and France. Their full site will launch on January 29th. Sadly, there are no pricing details and no US release date as of yet.

For a long time Lenovo only went after the business notebook and desktop market in America. The computer maker offered some consumer focused systems in its native China though. Last year Lenovo brought its consumer-focused machines to the U.S. and the firm has now introduced its latest consumer focused desktop systems for America.

Lenovo has announced its new K series desktop computer line. The IdeaCenter K220 is one of the new systems and offers Lenovo’s VeriFace security that allows users to login by facial recognition. The feature requires a compatible monitor and webcam. The machine can be optioned with Intel Core 2 Quad CPUs, up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and a Blu-ray drive.

In recent years it’s become easier for the musician on the go to be able to travel lighter or save some space in the band’s van. Like the folding guitar, the Vax77 Foldable 77-Key Keyboard will neatly fold up so you can take your show on the road.

Folded in half, it will only take up 23.3″ of space. That’s small enough that you can put it in the front seat of your car or take it with you on an airplane. Some features include a 3.5-inch color LCD display, MIDI in/out and USB 1.1 connections, four pedal inputs and and many synthesizer presets. I don’t see a price, but I expect that portability will cost you.

The one problem with working on a laptop outdoors is that the screen does not adapt to the natural light, which takes the portable out of the whole portability thing. Well, LG has rolled out a new 14.1″ LCD monitor for use both indoors and in outdoor environments, bringing adaptive backlight displays to a new level.

LG’s latest offering will give you optimum screen visibility under virtually any condition, since you can switch from Transmissive mode to Reflective on-the-fly. LG claims that the innovative display will also help prolong your notebooks’ battery life, although that remains to be seen.

BagTV gives new meaning to the term funbags. Funbags will no longer be a term for a woman’s, uh, you know. Instead these fancy purses with TV’s on them will be known as funbags. Which is probably more appropriate. Before you know it all of the ladies will be toting the BagTV.

This model not only carries your favorite make-up and girly stuff within, it comes with a built-in 7″ LCD display, a DVD/MP3 player and supports digital photo playback. As with most of other girlly accessories, this model will come in a variety of colors and finishes to match all of your clothes. The battery life leaves a lot to be desired, as you might expect, rated at 2.5 hours.

AOC is a company that has been delivering solid, affordable HDTVs /displays for a little while now. AOC’s V22 Verfino is a 22 inch LED backlit panel at 1,680 x 1,050 resolution that provides 100,000:1 contrast ratio, HDMI inputs, 2ms response time, Dynamic contrast ratio control.

This LCD monitor should be perfect for your gaming needs. There’s no price info just yet, but it will be coming in early 2009. Judging by AOC’s history, it’s probably reasonably priced.
