We like convergence. And Samsung’s latest point and shoot doesn’t disappoint. The PL90 features a 12.2 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom, a 2.7-inch LCD in back and a 640 x 480 movie mode with 30fps and 15fps options.

The most interesting thing however is the integrated USB plug, which eliminates the need for a USB cable. This model is heavy in automated features, which newcomers will love. It’s available next month for $149.99 if you are interested.

Samsung has unveiled their latest camcorder and the HMX-U10 is all about casual point-and-shoot. It measures a compact 56 x 103 x 15.5mm with a design to better fit your hand. The upright camera has both 10-megapixel stills capture and 1920 x 1080 Full HD video.

Samsung wants some of the Flip UltraHD market with this one. The HMX-U10 records to an SDHC card and uses the H.264 video codec. In the back there’s a 2-inch LCD for framing and previewing, together with basic controls. The 1/2.3-inch CMOS lens is fixed focus and apparently lacks zoom.

Summer is coming and the hot days of lying by the pool and having pool parties will be here very soon. Summer fun usually involves someone with a camera taking pictures. The problem with taking pictures near water is that the average camera can’t get wet.

GE has announced a new digital camera called the G3WP that can not only get wet and survive, but can actually be used under water to depths of 10 feet. Power for the camera comes from an internal rechargeable battery and it has several other features that you expect in a modern point-and-shoot camera.
