We'd almost overlook them: Sony's Webbie Cams. The new brightly colored Sony cameras record video in MP4 format and digital pictures targeted on the World Wide Web. The Sony MHS-CM1 and MHS-PM1 Webbie HD cameras are able to record in a High Definition resolution of 1440x1080 pixels at a speed of 30 frames per second. In addition, 5 Megapixel pictures can be made. The Sony Webby cameras are compact and light enough to take them around wherever you go. Nice to use for the capture of daily moments, or to add to your Blog site. The included software serves to quickly and simply convert the video or photo data to enable publishing on the Internet.

Samsung NX digital camera

As for the Samsung NX camera; it may have been introduced as a concept, but many things still remain unclear. There are no announcements whatsoever from Samsung about specifications that are not already in the press release, but as we look at the concept cameras showcased behind glass, we see features claimed like video capture. This makes us assume that the Samsung NX camera will be able to record videos. The DX format sensor that is going to be used in the future Samsung NX camera, is larger that that of the compact camera, which causes us to expect more from the image quality of this digital camera.

Micro FourThirds system

During last year’s Photokina 2008 in Germany, the Micro FourThirds system was jointly introduced by Olympus and Panasonic. And although Panasonic pocketed the gain during the Photokina by introducing the Panasonic LUMIX G1 digital camera, Olympus was not forgotten, and curiosity about the plans of Olympus with this system stayed on. At the opening, Olympus showed a Micro FourThirds design concept to the international press, and afterwards to the public, with the announcement that this kind of concept belongs to the possibilities, but that it does not necessarily equal the end-product.

Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D camera

Fujifilm took a prototype of a 3D camera along to the PMA show 2009 in Las Vegas. In addition to a pair of concept 3D cameras we saw before at the Photokina 2008, a plastic bold; unfortunately with annoying reflection, held a new prototype 3D camera. Perhaps already a functioning model, since the LEDs of the camera were shown activated. The Fujifilm Real 3D imaging concept is a full system of a digital camera, printer and display, and is a very interesting branch of photography. However, even now, I can't imagine it becoming a product for the masses, but it certainly seems to become a nice accessory.

AgfaPhoto presents the first digital cameras with the red sensor shutter button for especially sensitive shutter release. The red sensor button, which was already used in 1969, revolutionised the photo world. It quickly became a trademark of the manufacturer. The red dot of the brand-typical shutter button has become an element of the AgfaPhoto logo. Today - as then - it stands for simple operation, reliability and Optimal picture quality. The sensor cameras will be launched in the American Market at the PMA in Las Vegas, from March 3rd through to March 5th, 2009.
