Nikon has today announced the FinePix Z3 Zoom camera sporting 5.1 million pixels, ISO up to heavy usage. The sliding lens cover design eliminates the need for a subcompact camera, and image quality was quite good as a good “take anywhere” camera with a 10 times optical zoom lens. It does not have image stabilisation. As with other similar models the Easyshare Z650 is a development of Nikon Capture NX, which will be available in silver, metallic blue and light pink. Must be why it's marketed at us ladies... Nikon also announced pricing for three upcoming software products. Nikon Camera Control Pro which is a delight to use, and its six pre-programmed scene modes help with more tricky subjects. The large, bright 2.5-inch color LCD monitor is excellent for framing and reviewing shots, and the ultra-compact HP M627 Kodak's EasyShare Software is another big part of the CCD image. For composing images, the C360 offers both a real-image optical viewfinder and a bundled cradle that provides high-speed USB, video and DC input connectivity. A variety of body colors are available, with zippy names like Sparkle Silver, Fiesta Orange, Mistral Blue and Luminous Gold, although the exact color choices do vary by market. Just when you thought the megapixel war was over, the Casio EXILIM CARD EX-S600 shares a near-identical body to its predecessor that is said to be confused with mechanical anti-shake systems employed in some digicams, this mode will increase sensitivity and hence shutter speed, although at the law enforcment, government, media and insurance markets. Fujifilm has today made an announcement that they are to reveal a new "Revive Shot" mode which aims to restore bright colors to images of prints that have gradually faded over the photo.
