Looks like the Sony NEX-7 digital SLR rumors are true. It will mimic the look of an older Konica-Minolta Dimage A2. We know this because a new digital image of the upcoming Sony shooter has been leaked. The image is said to be of a pre-production unit, so some changes will likely happen. A rangefinder similar to that of the Fujifilm X100 can be seen on the image as well.

The camera is expected to get a 24-megapixel sensor from the A77 and a …

We first saw the Fujifilm XP30 back at CES last January. It’s another tough camera that features dust, water, freeze and shock protection. You know, in case you want to jump from a dusty cave into a pool of water, which turns out to be freezing and accidentally bang it on a rock on the way down.

It’s freeze proof to minus 10 degrees, water proof to 5 metres and shock proof so it can withstand a drop of 1.5 metres. Built-in GPS will be able to log your location, which can be displayed either as longitude and latitude coordinates, or by place name. As a bonus, the XP30 also has an embedded list with around half a million places of interest across the globe. So you will have plenty of places to visit.

Remember the Fujifilm FinePix X100? You know, the one with the retro looks that was announced back in September? Well, your wait is over. It is now available to pre-order if you have a spare $1,200.

To refresh your memory, the Fujifilm FinePix X100 features a 12.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, an EXR processor and it comes with a 23mm F2 Fujinon lens as well as Fujifilm’s new hybrid viewfinder, which works in optical and electronic modes.

Fujifilm has announced the launch of the world’s thinnest 10x optical zoom compact camera, the FinePix T200. It has a resolution of 14 megapixels and delivers files that can be printed out at A3 without the need for any software re-sizing. The 10x zoom range stretches from 28-280mm. The FinePix T200 also packs in a powerful CCD shift Image Stabilization (CIS) system to help eliminate camera shake and deliver high quality images in a variety of lighting conditions.

Other features include 720p HD video at 30 frames per second and easy panoramas. The T200 is just 28.1mm thick and 97mm wide, so it will travel with you anywhere easily. It comes in 4 colors: Black, Silver, Blue and Red.

Fujifilm has unveiled the FinePix XP30 camera which is equipped with GPS. In fact it’s the worlds first outdoor compact camera with GPS. The Fujifilm FinePix XP30 also has a 14.2-megapixel sensor with CCD-shift image stabilization, a 5x optical zoom, face detection and automatic panorama functionality.

This compact camera is designed to be waterproof for up to five meters, dust proof, sand proof and will survive drops of up to 1.5m. It’s even freeze proof to -10 degrees centigrade.

Fujifilm has a plethora of digital cameras that it offers covering the gamut from entry-level low-end units to high-end and very expensive cameras for advanced shooters. Fujifilm has unveiled a new digital camera today that is high-end called the Finepix X100.

The camera is aimed at the DSLR user looking for a backup camera that is easier to take along and use, but has high quality photos shooting capability. The X100 has a 23mm fixed focal length lens and an APS-C CMOS image sensor. The camera won’t hit the market until early 2011 so right now we don’t have all the goods.

Fujifilm has outted the FinePix F80EXR and Z700EXR digital cameras. The FinePix F80EXR offers 12-megapixels and a 10x optical zoom, a 3″ LCD display, 720p HD movie capture, face recognition, auto picture rotation and even something new…Pet Detection mode. Cats or dogs specifically.

Pet Detection will detect your pet by modifying shooting conditions to obtain the best possible image with each shot. The Z700EXR also has Pet Detection mode and a 3.5″ touchscreen display, which will likely drain your battery pretty quickly.

Fujifilm has stepped up their game with the new FinePix S2500HD. The camera is a larger camera for this class and this DSLR camera will give you up to 18x optical zoom support. The lens is 28-504 mm equivalent.

You’ll also get HD video recording at 720p and direct connectivity to your TV to view photos and video larger, dual image stabilization, face detection and red-eye removal. Nothing on price or exact launch date for the camera yet.

If you thought the tape format was deader than a cassette tape, think again. At least two companies are still playing with magnetic tape. IBM and FujiFilm have spent the better part of three years in order to achieve a new record in areal data density on linear magnetic tape.

They have results, having successfully recorded data onto a dual-coat barium ferrite prototype magnetic tape at a density of 29.5 billion bits per square inch. That’s 39 times denser than current magnetic tapes. Neither company has announced when this will be available.

Ah, we meet again Kitty. I thought I had seen the last of you with the Hello Kitty Mimobots. But alas, you live. Apparently there are 12 year old girls still drinking the Kool-Aid.

Which means that they will be buying the FUJIFILM Instax Mini 25 Hello Kitty with 50 Instax Films. This is Fuji’s version of a Polaroid camera. Just press the button and an instant color photo appears soon after to share with your other Hello Kitty cult members.

Fujifilm has finally released its Real 3D W1 camera in North America. Previously it had already been available in Japan. If you’ve been following this one then you might remember that the Fujifilm Real 3D W1 camera will merge some sensors and lenses for stereoscopic still captures and video recording.

It does standard photos too, at a 10-megapixel resolution, while the 3x optical zoom is available in both 2D and 3D images. Another nice feature is the ability to check out the 3D images without having to wear a pair of 3D nerd glasses.

Best Buy has an exclusive Black Swirl version of the popular Z30. This white version of the camera features all the same features as the rest of the line but instead of boring white, it features fancy swirly floral designs in black.

It features a 10MP resolution, 3x optical/5.7x digital zoom, 2.7 color LCD, 1600 ISO, Antiblur, face detection 50MB of internal memory and more. It’s on sale for $129.99 and I’m sure you ladies can figure out if it matches your handbag or will clash with your skirts.

A lot has changed in the world of photography over the years. I remember when the coolest camera on the market was that Polaroid that took pictures that you had to shake. Digital cameras came along not long after than with all the good that came along with it.

Fujifilm was one of the early digital camera pioneers and the company is set to launch a new camera that may well usher in the next era in digital photography. The camera is called the FinePix Real 3D System and it allows you to shoot 3D images.

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.
