Olympus E-450 Compact DSLR

Hard pressed to improve upon its well-regarded E-420, which Olympus touted as the “world’s smallest digital SLR” back when it was announced last year, the camera maker didn’t stray too far from its existing formula when it announced the new E-450 today.

Features:

• compact body as the slim E-420
• including  a 10-megapixel
• 17.3×33mm Live MOS sensor
• 3-point autofocus; 2.7-inch
• 230,000-pixel LCD
• 3.5 fps continuous-shooting speed
• a sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 1,600
• new TruePic III+ image processor
• a brighter LCD
• an increase in the maximum recordable images in continuous shooting mode (from six to eight RAW)
• addition of three of the special-Warhol-esque pop art, a pinhole camera effect, and a soft-focus effect)

In fact, in order to differentiate the E-450, Olympus is only offering the camera as a two-lens kit with 14mm-42mm (28mm-84mm equivalent) f3.5-f5.6 lens and a 40-150mm (80mm-300mm equivalent) f4.0-5.6 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens) for $699.99. The camera is slated to begin shipping in July, but in a nod to its entry-level, ease-of-use message, Olympus is launching the E-450 on May 9 on QVC.

LumoPro LP120, a completely manual camera flash

The LumoPro LP120 is the most versatile all manual flash in production today. In its one size fits all design, it offers 4 ways of synchronization with your camera through its PC port, miniphone port,
optical slave sensor and hotshoe (PC/Miniphone cord included.) This diversity also provides you with backup options should, for example, your existing radio slaves lose power or you forget your sync cord at home. Using your flash off your camera has never been easier.

With its 270-degree swivel and 180-degree tilt, you will be able to bounce the light off any wall, ceiling, and most light modifiers (using your forehead is not recommended.) The manual zoom function allows you to focus the beam
regardless of your lens focal length. The wide-angle adapter helps disperse the beam to a greater degree. The standard flash head design insures that almost any light modifier on the market will fit securely. The LP120 is color neutral and offers 6 power variations.

Sony HX1 takes lots of pictures really fast

Sony’s whizbang camera Sony Hx1 features (HD video aside), like iSCN Advance or the anti-handheld twilight mode (which gives you a clear shot in low light, where usually a handheld camera would give you a blurry mess) all use the same basic technology, just applied differently for each feature. They all take a burst of shots really quickly—and combine them or pick out the right shot to come up with a clear one.

The sweep panorama shooting process is surprisingly easy, the way it should be. You flip to panorama mode on the dial, and when you press the shutter down, a scrollbar pops up on the bottom that starts at the left and slides to the right as you swing the camera. On the camera, all of the results look really smooth, but we’ll have to see one at full resolution before we’re truly blown away.
