More and more devices that are no longer merely peripheral to become pots that can be used without the computer as an intermediary. One that, I imagine, will interest you is the Reflecta x4-Scan, a scan that has made signing Reflecta GmbH with the idea of becoming a head device for those who want to scan images anywhere.

This scanner operates thanks to a lithium battery and offers a 2.4 inch LCD screen and a slot for SD memory cards and SDHC. At the time of the scans, handles 35mm film scanning at 1800 dpi in just two seconds with a quality 5-megapixel resolution. Then the images can be transferred to the computer through its USB port. Small and compact, is an interesting accessory especially if we travel or access to our computer.

Reflecta x4-Scan will be on sale at a price of 139 euros.

Again, Epson are encouraged to make a step forward with a digital photo frame that incorporates a quality printer. While not the first time we met with a device that fulfills both functions, in this case perhaps we should pay particular attention, since the product carries the logo of one of the great titans of the printing industry as the results are likely to be 100% reliable.

The Epson PictureMate Show is a digital frame and printer that can print images on a size 4 x 6 inches and has a seven-inch screen (16:9) size and resolution WGA.

When displaying images, you can do over 12 display modes or use the remote control to select the photo you wish to display. The prints have a quality of 576 x 1440 dpi and the time it takes to make the work is 37 seconds.

The Epson PictureMate is already on sale and is available in any store for a price of 299.99 dollars.

Kodak is one of the culprits of the rise of compact camcorders, if we had to chose a model would be the Kodak HD Zi8, chosen by our users as the best of 2009. The American company presents a new element in the family, with similar specifications, but with a sturdy body, ready to plunge 3 meters under water, we talk about the Kodak PlaySport ZX3.

Like its sister Zi8 Kodak HD presents the possibility to record video in 1080p format and features electronic image stabilization. If we want to use in photographic work, we can take images up to 5 megapixels (in proportion 16:9).

It has a 2-inch screen, and makes use of already known technologies in the trademark for face recognition and improve performance in areas with low light. It features facilities for editing and sharing videos on major social networks like YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook.

For the storage of videos uses SD cards up to 32GB (SDHC), which provides up to 10 hours of video in high definition. It has a handy HDMI connector.

Kodak PlaySport ZX3 will initially be available in the U.S. in April at a price of 149.99 dollars, to be complemented by that of an SD card (not included).

Kodak Slice is one the new compact that comes hand in hand with Kodak noted for its careful and elegant design and its generous 3.5 inch touch screen.

The Kodak Slice is a compact CCD sensor also incorporates a 14 megapixel with Schneider-Kreuznach (too many megapixels for a compact sensor), integrated stabilizer, 5x zoom and an internal memory with capacity for 5,000 high resolution photos .

The new compact Kodak also offers video recording and high definition 720p/30fps a feature called Smart Capture that according to the company analyzes scenes and automatically adjusts camera settings for best results.

Like all compact, Kodak does not forget the automatic and the ability to share our photos on social networks, hence it has included a labeling function and search for photos, and give us the opportunity to share them by e-mail or on sites like Facebook, Flickr or YouTube, for example.

The Kodak Slice will be available in three colors (black, nickel and radish) from April at a price of 349.95 dollars.

Still in its infancy and without a manufacturer willing to bring reality to this model, the Nova DSLR Camera is a super ergonomic SLR camera based on two flexible arms that allow the photographer to shoot more comfortably.

That’s how thanks to the mobility of the arms is possible to accommodate a taste of the photographer, being equally comfortable for left and right. The buttons have also been carefully placed in the arms and this is how it can be pressed while holding the camera.

This design allows you to vary the angle of the camera and accurately adapt to a more intuitive control by the photographer.

That seems to be the case Exemode SQ28m, a small device like a keychain that although not much, is an option that you may find interesting if we talk about teams of this caliber.

If you will not spend much money on a Christmas gift, you think of it as the SQ28m of Exemode to capture images to a standard of 1280x 1200 pixels with CMOS sensor. The image size is 53 × 23×19mm and the camera can capture videos plus photos even in humble 320 x 240 pixels.

Also comes with a microSD card slot that can expand its internal memory of 64 MB.

By contrast, the Samsung 800P offers a backlit LCD screen 8 inches in size with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.

It’s a complete portrait because it also offers Bluetooth connectivity, a remote control and supports microSD memory cards.

For now, the 800P is available in the Korean market, where it will be released soon. No news yet if they also cross borders to reach Europe.

This Samsung W880 mobile oriented budding photographers, or those who prefer to carry one device in your pocket instead of taking the camera and moving everywhere. Indeed, that body has 12Mpix sensor, a 3.3-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels and can record videos at 720p with 4GB of memory.

Long time no hear of Casio. Only now the Japan-based company has decided to make a public announcement at the launch of two new cameras signature.

We talk about the Casio EX-FC150 and Casio EX-FH25, two models have a sensor 10 megapixel CMOS backlit that doubles the sensitivity of a traditional CMOS sensor. Other new additions include a mode that can shoot up to 40 frames per second. Another novelty is the speed of video recording that reaches 1,000 fps but, yes, to a poor resolution of 224 x 64 pixels. If we opt for a speed of 120 fps the quality of the image is 640 x 480 pixels.

The basic difference between them lies in the optical models for the Casio EX-FC150 carries a 5x optical zoom meantime the Casio EX-FH25 features a superzoom with focal equivalent to 26-520mm and can capture shots in RAW format.

Announced in late August, the Sony Alpha 850 is now sold as a kit all in one valued at about € 2215, and has, besides the camera itself, a new SAL 28-75mm zoom with a focal opening of F/2.8 and an image processing application DxO Optics Pro 6, which represents a substantial savings.

Ever Ready Case The case is a limited edition designed for this particular model has been fabicase leather and helps protect both the camera and its accessories. The accessory is very comfortable and should be snug to the camera with the screw a little support.

Once there you just have to move the front of the case to proceed to the shooting. The kit will be available late November in the UK for a price of 160 pounds.

Leica released several updates to their lines among which are the D-Lux 4. The compact Leica are not as popular or best known, but the brand still continues with its tradition of good design and quality construction. In that combination we add the high quality of the optics.

The camera is has stabilized optical zoom 24-60mm (35mm equivalent) that the company also says it is ultra fast. The rest of the specifications are:

• 10.1 MP CCD sensor
• LCD screen 2.5″
• Sensitivity up to ISO3200
• Face Detection
• Automatic modes that include ISO control automatic contrast compensation and automatic scene selection.
• Full Manual Capture Mode
• HD video recording at 30fps
• Support for SD / SDHC

The Leica D-LUX 4, like her twin, the Panasonic Lumix LX3, you can save images in RAW format. This feature alone would make one more option that interesting unless its launch price is no less than 700 €.

Argus Bean A5650, a brand that does not stand out by design or the quality of their devices, but by their very specific price or functionality.

This is a waterproof camera 3.2 megapixel, four increases zoom and SD card slots. It excels but if you are addicted to extreme sports and do not want to risk your SLR, it’s an option.

His case has rubber coating, its design has an opening to hook easily to your belt or backpack. I recommend Argus Bean for sports, mountaineering, rafting, hiking, aerobics even. Or to take her camping. It’s in several colors and costs $ 70, can be found on eBay.

For the rest, not until the official announcement.

As for the performance of the Casio Exilim EX-G1 in difficult conditions, we are facing a camera waterproof to three meters deep, which resists the bumps and drops up to 2 meters (which is fine) and dusty environments because it is waterproof. It also run smoothly on the snow, with temperatures reaching 10 degrees below zero.

In his photographic features that we can not expect more sanity: his is 12-megapixel sensor, a 3X optical zoom magnification. The most interesting of its spec sheet is the microSD card slot and the role of taking pictures at intervals.

The Casio Exilim EX-G1 will be available beginning next February in red and black with a price of 300 euros.
