Digital Cameras
Toshiba is launching a series of high capacity memory cards, ideal for use with digital cameras, portable video players and other devices that require lots of storage.
A 4GB SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card will be available from November, with 8GB and 16GB versions to follow. The cards boast a minimum transfer rate of 4MB per second.
Prices have yet to be confirmed but you can read full details at the Toshiba Components site.
The latest addition to Olympus' oddly-named 'mju' range of digital cameras boasts an incredible (and unthinkable a few years ago) resolution of ten megapixels. The mju:1000 also features a 3x optical zoom, Bright-Capture technology for capturing pictures in low-light conditions and 20 pre-defined scene modes for different types of shot. It's available from next month, priced at around £330.
Digital cameras are notoriously poor at taking wide-angle photos but Kodak's new V705 snapper is designed for that very purpose. It employs two seven-megapixel sensors to expand your shooting scope complemented by a 5x optical zoom, anti-blur technology and 22 scene modes. The dual lens enables you to capture a 180-degree panorama in a single shot. The V705 hits the shops in September for around £280.
The latest digital camera from Pentax has plenty to offer keen amateur photographers. In addition to an impressive seven-megapixel resolution, the Optio S7 features Blur Reduction Technology, making it ideal for snapping objects, and Face Recognition that automatically focuses and tracks your subject's lovely mug. The S7 is due out at the end of this month for around £250.
