Samsung WB500 digital camera review : Samsung did not really stand out during Photokina 2008. For Samsung, this huge 2-year event, giving the visitor the opportunity to smell, taste and see photography all around, seemed to be a show where only the Samsung prototype camera (now called Samsung WB500) was showcased. Surprising at the very least; while Samsung considers itself a strong market conqueror. Six months later, during PMA 2009 in Las Vegas, I did not only come across a full version of the prototype in question.

The Kodak EasyShare M340 is a 10.2-megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera equipped with a 3x optical zoom lens (and a 5x digital zoom). It’s the kind of camera that’s easy to overlook on a store shelf, with no all-new features or quirky gimmicks to set it apart from the crowd. Nevertheless, if you want a fuss-free compact camera for simple photography, you could do a lot worse than the EasyShare M340. Like its entry-level stable mate — the Kodak EasyShare M320 — it offers solid imaging performance for the asking price; and little more besides.

It's widely known that the pixels inside a digital camera are nothing but a complex light sensor, which is able to decode the wavelengths of visible light that hits them, and to convert them into electrical signals, in a process roughly similar to what happens inside the human eye. However, since the digital camera age started developing, the technology has come so far that more improvements are very difficult to make without sacrificing the quality of the pictures or the reduced sizes of these devices.

I’ve noticed a lot of accessories for WiiSports, and most of them are golf clubs and tennis rackets. This is the first time I have seen one for Wii Bowling, and I’m not certain that it will not be the last. This particular accessory was on display at this year’s E3, and was designed by CTA Digital. It is apparently fashioned after an “authentic bowling ball”, and the user has to open it up and put in the Wii remote and close this ball.

Sony Alpha 380 SLR camera review : One year after the introduction of the DSLR-A350, the time has come for a successor; the Sony Alpha 380.

Consumer Reports puts some digital cameras through tough tests, like an Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 that claims it’s “even shockproof up to five feet.” Testers dropped it that distance a few times onto a concrete floor.
Elias Arias, of Consumer Reports, says “The Tough 6000 still worked. Now we don’t know how it would do in a lot of falls or harder falls, but if you’re clumsy you may want to consider it.” The Olympus is just one of 77 digital cameras Consumer Reports tested, everything from subcompacts and compacts to super zooms and S-L-Rs.
