Sigma SD15 DSLR finally grabbing a release, this month

The Sigma SD15 debuted all the way back in 2008. Flash forward to June 2010 (World Cup 2010 times) and find that it still hasn’t launched yet. As a quick recap of the SD15′s specs, it stores a 14-megapixel Foveon X3 direct image sensor that contains three “layers”. Those being 4.7-megapixel layers each that capture red, green or blue light, creating some pretty nice, well colored shots, with plenty of exposure. There’s also other tasty bits like the 77-segment AE sensor and AFE (Analog Front End) and 3-inch LCD display. The release date is slated for this month on  June 29th for about, wait for it, wait for it — about $1,443 USD. Remember it’s a top-class SLR.

Olympus PEN-EP1 gets a coat of silver paint

This is just another Sunday news post; in other words a perfect Sunday news post. Moving on to the important part of this report, the Olympus PEN-EP1 Micro Four Thirds camera comes in black — and now in “retro” silver. The pros and cons of the EP1 stay the same, as well as the retro look. Along with the price tag, €799 ($1,016 USD). So far it’s only launching in Europe with a M. Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens, which won’t pull off the kind of macro photography that you’d really need (depends on the situation).

Panasonic DMC-G2 and DMC-G10 Micro Four Thirds cams get priced

Back in early March, on a Sunday actually, when the gadget news stocks were so low that no one had anything to do, the Panasonic DMC-G2 and G10 Micro Four Thirds cameras saved the day with a press release. But, we were really bugged out that they didn’t include pricing. Well (finally!) the G10 will retail for $599 and the G2 for $799. Both have 12.1 megapixel sensors, 3-inch screens, and 720p HD video modes (more on them here), with the G2 getting a color choice of red, blue, or black. Both are coming out in late-May. So far, so good for the micro 4/3rds revolution.

New Rumor: some new Nikon DSLRs inbound

New Nikon DSLRs, a thought so wonderful it makes me leap for joy. It’s a rumor actually, complete with specs, and a rumor complete with specs is the most exciting thing to have rumors about. Moving on!

The first should be an entry-level DSLR, perhaps a successor the D3000, with better AF, more megapixels, and updating the other important bits. The second is more exciting, supposedly a 16-megapixel, 39-AF point, 1080p/24-shooting super DSLR. it’s likely to be a successor of the heavily-favored D90. The third, we know nothing of, it’s simply speculated that a third new one exists. There’s more to check out at Nikon Rumors, so head over there!

And I’m still waiting for the gadget fairy to bring me my D5000 from Nikon’s review warehouse. How long will that take? Sigh.

Panasonic DMC G10 and G2 Micro Four Thirds cameras debut

It’s a boring Sunday here in the gadget world, so that’s where Panasonic brightens up your Sunday morning/afternoon. While Panasonic isn’t the brand name of cameras, they definitely have cameras that people can feel comfortable with. First up, the Lumix DMC-G2, which kinda looks like the G1, and includes a touchpanel to take pictures, a 12.1 megapixel Live MOS sensor, Venus Engine HD II technology, 3-inch rear LCD and a 720p (AVCHD Lite) movie mode. Second is the DMC-G10, which is purportedly, supposedly, optimistically the “world’s lightest” interchangeable lens camera with a viewfinder. It has the same 12.1 megapixel sensor and Venus Engine HD II as the G2, but lacks the tilt / swivel / touch LCD panel that the G2 has. Pricing and release dates are in the dark for these guys, but they do support the expensive SDXC memory cards. Yeah!

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FH1 Review: The Feisty Point-And-Shoot

By far one of the cheapest cameras around, the FH1 is a 12-megapixel point-and-shoot camera with an HD video mode. It retails with a MSRP of $159.95, so that’s probably one of the closest rock-bottom prices you’ll find for a camera. Despite the cheap price, extremely modest looks, and of course the branding, the FH1 isn’t the type of digital camera you can mess around with in modern times: 5x optical zoom, a 28mm wide-angle lens, High Speed Auto Focus, HD video recording, Optical Image Stabilization, and an ISO range of up to 1600. Does it take great pictures? Read on to find out.

Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 Review

The first camera ever to show up here is a little over a year old. That doesn’t mean the Stylus Tough 6000 has lost its ability to take pictures. It’s waterproof to 10 feet, shockproof to 5 feet, and can withstand temperatures of down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Since this is a pretty simple point-and-shoot I’ll just go over price, durability, and the pictures and videos it takes. Check out the review after the break where we see if this $300 camera is worth it.

Pentax K-7 Limited Silver DSLR Is The Best Looking One on Earth

Pretty camera. Ahem. For those of you who remember the Pentax K-7 which debuted last summer, Pentax has had a tendency to coat the K-7 and the wallet-friendly K-x in limited edition and special colors; only in Japan. The Limited Silver DSLR is no different, with only a mere 1,000 units that will be sold in Japan. But there are new improvements that only want you to buy it even more than you already want to, for example the “golden section ratio” focusing screen with curved guiding lines that make taking pictures even easier. There’s als0 a specially reinforced glass plate protecting the LCD and updated firmware as well as new photo processing software. Must. Have. Now. Unfortunately I cannot, as it only is available in Japan, and also has an incredible price of $1,420 on March 13th. Lunacy. More pics after the break.
