Samsung has unveiled a new digital camera called the NX10 that isn’t a point-and-shoot and isn’t a DSLR. The camera has interchangeable lenses but lacks the mirror system of a DSLR. The image sensor is also larger than the micro four thirds cameras on the market and the cam uses a slightly larger lens connection than the aforementioned cameras.

Casio has just introduced the EX-Z280, a 12.1 Megapixel pocket camera with a 26mm lens along with 4X optical zoom. The real news here is Casio’s new image processor, the Exilim engine 4. It’s a dedicated chip that takes charge of all that stuff related to image processing and analysis.
Casio’s EX-Z33 digital camera is an entry-level 10.1-megapixel shooter that comes with all of the typical features you would expect out of such a camera from Casio these days, like a 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5″ widescreen LCD display, Automatic face recognition, Best Shot function and an Auto Shutter mode.
I have been waiting for a point-and-shoot camera to come along that has a shutter speed fast enough for me to leave my DSLR at home in most instances. The problem I have with most point-and-shoots is that they can’t take pictures of fast action.
We can thank the iPhone for the fact that everything seems to be going touchscreen today. The iPhone was one of the first successful touch capable devices to hit the market. Now after a few years of the iPhone being on the market we have touch capability in everything from digital frames to digital cameras.
