Having looked at the Sony NEX-6 camera yesterday, the Samsung NX210 seems to be very common ground.  Stuck between the entry level Samsung NX1000 and digital SLR Samsung NX20 is another camera that is looking to serve the mid-range camera market.  With build in Wi-Fi, APS-C sized sensor and image resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels it ticks off all the needs for a modern day camera (this includes the full HD video recording of course).

This is a market that is quite busy at the moment…

It’s fair to say that when it comes to cheaper more compact cameras smartphones may be taking over the market, though the camera is still putting up a fight of course.  When you look at paying a bit more money though and want a camera that concentrates on superior picture quality the smartphone and compact ranges just can’t compete, especially when you start hitting the mid-range and premium cameras.  The Sony NEX-6 is one of these cameras that looks to be more advanced and add some of…

Some would argue that the compact camera is a dying breed.  Almost everybody has a smartphone now that fits nicely in our pockets and can take any picture we want and at a quality that, for average users is good enough quality and is easily snapped with just a press of a button.  Of course the manufacturers of cameras won’t agree with this and still bring out competitors with hopes to re-awaken people’s love of the small camera that can sit alongside the phone and give superior quality…

I’m sure everybody knows the Polaroid camera; to be able to take pictures and see them appear almost instantly has a retro feel that has kept the technology going for years.  It was only a matter of time before they moved on with technology and created a camera what instantly printed the picture that was just taken.  That’s exactly what the Polaroid Z2300 instant camera does.

Available in black or white, it’s not the best looking camera but it fits its purpose.  The question of cou…

Last week I took a look at the Samsung Galaxy camera which introduced us to the concept of having Android OS as the power behind the cameras functionality.  This was not the only camera though that has been announced that uses Android, the Nikon Coolpix S800c also uses this OS as a way to provide Wi-Fi and of course apps that provide the user with a way to manipulate their photographs and videos.

The main aim of these cameras appear to be to push the more social element of photograph…

Smartphones have been getting smarter and more powerful, adding quad-core power to operating systems that offer more and more functionality.  They’ve also been pushing the technology used in their camera features to provide the casual photographer the ability to take impressive pictures.  The gulf between actual camera and phone is becoming slimmer by the year and now we have something that looks to bridge that gap.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera is not an actual phone, but it uses the te…

Cameras have quite a range of functionality.  The average picture taker who is starting on a hobby or even just needing a nice camera to take a few holiday snaps just needs a point and click camera where the more professional want one that can take the best possible device and have all the functionality like DSLR, and as many megapixels as possible.  In the hobbyist range though where the user does not have the need the perfect picture though simple point and shoot is of course the best.…

Photography is about getting the perfect shot whatever it takes.  Of course these days with technology moving forward and the images being improved to look ever better, so getting the best technology should lead to the best picture; in theory of course.  The Nikon D800 does not offer the best technology but does push the envelope in the 35mm camera format with a possible 36 million pixels.  The question is how many pixels can you fit on one sensor before it’s too much? The answer is that…

Cameras have many uses, whether it be for professional purposes, hobbies or just plain fun.  Sometimes we need cameras that are built to last, that can take the bangs from rough use and can take being submerged in water without breaking.  That is where a camera like the Fujifilm Finepix XP150 comes in.

Of course this type of camera is nothing new, we already have cameras like the Olympus Tough and Nikon AW ranges available to play with, so the Finepix will need to have something spec…

Panasonic has recently announced two new cameras that they are adding to the market, these are the Lumix G5 and this camera, the Lumix DMC-LX7 or for short just the Lumix LX7.  This is the next version of their camera that is seen to be their flagship in this compact market, so they will definitely want to make an impact.

The compact camera market is quite a competitive one, with the direct competition coming from the Fujifilm X10 and X100, Sony also have their eyes on entering with …
