The Samsung L73 is the latest digital camera on the block and boasts of a comprehensive feature set! The L73 is a pocket-sized point and shoot featuring a 7 mega pixel image sensor and a precision 3x optical zoom lens. For enhanced performance, Samsung has also incorporated Smart Touch technology which uses two sets of pressure sensitive buttons to quickly access the camera’s controls.

The L73 is outfitted with a 2.5” TFT LCD screen and is housed in a black or silver finish. Samsung has also thrown in their proprietary Intelligent Face Recognition Technology, which is known to "detects the subject’s face, automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure to ensure better composition and image quality in portraits, and other shots featuring people."

For combatting the dreaded camera shake, the L73 sports the Samsung’s proprietary ASR image stabilization system which reduces image blur during longer exposures. The Wise Shot feature also kicks in and can take two consecutive pictures in rapid succession - one with ASR image stabilization enabled, and one with the flash.

The now mandatory Movie Mode is also seen on the L73 and the camera is capable of recording footage one of four resolutions, from 320x240 to 800x600, at up to 30 frames per second in AVI (MPEG-4) format.

The new RR730 Digital Camera is a very compact little device. It is only 3.5 x 2.4 x 1 inch number that has a lot of features for something of its size.

First of all, you should know that it has 7.1 Megapixels, which gives the user the best of details and the most vibrant of colors. You can enlarge your photos to A4 size (21 cm x 30 cm) with no loss of detail. Its optical 3x zoom is about to give the best close-up shots, but an additional zoom makes it up to 12x zoom.

On the back of the camera is a bright 2.5 inch LCD monitor that allows viewing of your latest material. The camera is also USB connectable and has video output functionality, so it can see your photos from your TV or laptop. All this comes with 32 MB of storage space, so you should have plenty of space for your pictures. If 32 MB isn’t enough, then simply purchase an SD Memory Card for even more space.

The camera also has a macro mode that can capture excellent details of life. You can capture the intricate beauty of a small object from as little as a few inches away.

You can also use the Select Movie mode to create video footage with a resolution of 320 x 240. You have the option of selecting Scene modes (Auto, Program, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, and Night) to capture incredible shots. Each one is designed for special shots. For example, the Night mode is designed to clear shots with minimal light, and the Sports mode is designed for fast-moving objects.

The camera can also be configured to take two pictures in quick succession, one without flash and one with i-flash.

Made of aluminum alloy, the Klasse W, true to its name, is available in a classy design. The first generation Klasse cameras, unveiled way back in 2001, featured a 38mm F2.6 lens and was a hit with amateur and pro photographers alike.

With shutter speeds up to 1/500 seconds and multilayer electron beam coating on the lens surface, you can expect some high quality images even in unfavorable conditions (for example with backlight).

Available in limited quantity (just 8,000 of 'em!) starting December 1, 2006, the Fuji Klasse W carries a price tag of ¥95,000 (US $808).

Canon’s newest camera, the IXUS i7, is literally changing the face of digital cameras. The 7.1 Megapixel CCD camera has a 2.4x optical zoom and 1.8 inch LCD Screen. The metal-clad camera is designed for compact use, like a pocket or small bag. It also comes in four different colors including steel gray, denim blue, dark brown, and sizzling pink.

Canon’s Face Detection AF/AE system is connected to the Digital IXUS i7 zoom in order to make people’s faces be clearer than ever with its Auto Focus and Auto Exposure. This process can automatically detect the faces of nine subjects within a frame and adjusts for a clearer, sharper picture. The camera automatically fills in the flash for strong backlighting by adjusting the exposure on the individual faces. This makes the camera ideal for parties and group photos.

Another feature is the Safety Zoom, designed to give maximum zoom magnification in shooting smaller size image without the reduced image quality. It also features 17 different shooting modes, as well as special scenes and movie modes.

Image management is handled with a special program called My Category, a method of cataloguing the shots by people, scenery, or event. These categories can be customized, but they also can be automatic, depending on the shooting mode and face detection activation. Also, the one-touch direct printing is easily managed with the camera’s Print/Share button that also acts as the shutter release. The Intelligent Orientation Sensor can automatically rotate any vertically shot photo and adjust them for the correct playback on LCD, TV, or PC.

The IXUS i7 also comes complete with a docking station that is useful as a base for printing out images. It can also use image transfer technology to beam straight into your television. The included remote control also gives you more power to select an image, or create a slideshow.

The Canon IXUS i7 should be available in October 2006, at about $470 USD.
