Based on an ergonomic cylindrical form lens, the 360 is a camera that allows you take an all-round picture. An angle indicator provides a gauge on the direction of the rotating head and is also an additional detail to provide the camera with a stronger and steadier feel while in operation. A built-in inclinometer indicates the horizontality of position prior to execution. The 360 is designed with much emphasis on the user interface, with the main operating function designed as a touch sensor, thereby maintaining a flushed surface on the exterior. 360 is an innovation that captures all that meets the eye, and more.

The Canon Digital IXUS 70 is a very well-made compact digital camera, with a stylish all-metal body and excellent overall finish. It has a pleasingly simplistic, clean overall design, reminiscent of the original IXUS designs. If you require a pocket camera that is both good-looking and hard-wearing, then look no further. The Canon Digital IXUS 70 is easily small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, weighing just 125g without the battery or memory card fitted.
It’s also the slimmest Canon digital compact ever, although at 19.4mm deep, I have seen much slimmer models from other manufacturers. Most aspects of the design and build have a quality feel with nothing really feeling flimsy or ill-thought out. There are a few minor criticisms that can be leveled at the Canon Digital IXUS 70, mostly concerning the various covers. The plastic Camera/Movie/Play switch on the rear of the camera feels cheap and out of place. The plastic A/V Out / Digital port cover on the side of the camera feels a little flimsy, as does the battery/memory card compartment cover.


Price, performance and ease of use go hand-in-hand with the slim and smoothly-curved Olympus FE-210.7.1 Megapixels and a 3x zoom lens ensure that this affordable camera delivers excellent shooting performance and lets pictures be viewed on a large 6.4cm LCD. The image quality is leagues ahead of devices such as mobile phones – so you are sure to preserve your precious memories perfectly and can even print them out in large formats if you wish.
With its 7.1 Megapixels, the FE-210 boasts ample imaging power. No matter if you’re viewing photos on-screen, getting prints in postcard format for your albums or in poster size for your walls, the photos come out a treat every time. The 3x zoom lens, meanwhile, grants users the flexibility needed to capture outstanding shots even when shooting from afar. The results can be checked and easily shown around to groups of friends on the big 6.4cm LCD.


Sony is introducing its new 8-megapixel DSC-H9 and DSC-H7 models. Designed to appeal to families with budding athletes in their broods, the cameras debut Sony’s new advanced sports shooting mode.
This mode combines high shutter speed shooting and intelligent continuous auto-focusing. The cameras can quickly focus on fast-moving subjects by predicting where those subjects will be in the frame. This predictive technology also helps to reduce shutter lag, the time it takes for the camera to focus and shoot.

Shooting a frame-filling close-up of a toddler eating spaghetti doesn’t usually pose much of a technical problem for the autofocus (AF) and autoexposure (AE) systems built into today’s compact digital cameras–they’ll focus on her face and generally give you an excellent exposure. But when you place that toddler’s face off-center near the edge of the frame, compose a double portrait of mom and dad, or photograph a group of people sitting around the dinner table, things start getting interesting.
Conventional AF systems, even those with multiple AF zones, will sometimes miss the faces and focus on something else that’s between them, farther away, or closer. The result: The people in your picture will be out of focus, blurry, and over- or underexposed–not a good thing.
Sure, you can use your brain, lock focus on your intended subject by holding in the shutter button partway, recomposing, and shooting. But in the excitement of the moment, it’s easy to forget. And even though it only takes a moment to autofocus the intelligent way, in that brief instant little Rachel’s perfect expression can well have vanished.
Fortunately, a number of leading camera manufacturers have addressed this sticky problem literally head-on, and have come up with ingenious solutions known as Face Recognition, Face Detection, or Face Priority Mode.


The GX-10 is Samsung’s first DSLR to be positioned firmly towards the discerning enthusiast photographer searching for comprehensive functions, stunning design, ease of use and real value for money - all in one camera. The GX-10 boasts a 10.2 mega-pixel image sensor, offering the photographer a sharper image, with richer colours for a truly compelling composition. Taking photos is made easier due to the PentaPrism viewfinder with its high magnification (0.95x) to provide a clearer, wider field of view (95%) for optimum shooting.
For unrivalled viewing of photos the GX-10 also comes complete with a wide view 2.5 TFT LCD (210k pixels). With its powerful built-in Optical Picture Stabilization (OPS) technology, the GX-10 prevents blurred pictures by shifting the CCD to counter any movement of the camera’s body. OPS also uses the lens information to ensure results remain sharp every time. The advanced design features of the GX-10 ensure it is robust enough for taking quality pictures even in wet, sandy or dusty conditions as the camera comes equipped with a special water-proof and anti-dust coating. The advanced dust removal function included in the GX-10 also removes potentially problematic dust from the CCD by vibrating it automatically when the camera is booted, resulting in perfect blemish-free pictures with minimum effort on the part of the photographer. A further dust barrier is provided by the special coating on the CCD’s protective window. With the one-touch RAW button, built into the GX-10, RAW file shooting is made simple and instantly available to users even during general JPEG shooting. The RAW files can be checked on the LCD and then be directly converted to JPEG format via the built-in converter for convenience. With the GX-10, continuous shooting at 3 fps (frames per second) is possible; RAW files can be shot at the same speed up to 9 frames; giving the user the best chance to get a great picture. The GX-10 has been designed to let the photographer customize and take control of their camera with the My Set Dial option allowing you to personalise your dial settings by choosing your most frequently used functions for ultimate ease of use.
