Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
B&H has the Sony HX9V point and shoot camera for $299 right now. The HX9V is probably the best do-it-all point and shoot camera. It captures great 16.2MP still images and captures HD video up to 1080/60p. Unfortunately, I have not gotten around to completing my review of the HX9V; however, I give it high marks all around and think that it is worth every penny of the asking price.
Note that you’ll have to add the camera to your cart to see the deal price, which is good through Dec. 10.
Amazon is about to open up Cyber Monday with a Lightning Deal on a Canon DSLR. Chances are that this limited quantity item will go fast, so watch the countdown here a little before 12:15AM ET if you’re interested.
If you’re not looking for a DSLR, there are plenty of photo accessories like memory cards, lenses, tripods, computers and more on the Cyber Monday 2011 deals page.
It’s time for our weekly break from the gear for a few minutes so we can enjoy another round of reader photos from the Photography Bay Flickr Group.

Fuji has unveiled the new X-S1 superzoom camera, which is the latest in the X-Series cameras that also include the popular X100 and the new, trendy X10 point and shoot. The Fuji X-S1 sports a 26x optical zoom lens (24-624mm equivalent) and a 2/3″ 12MP image sensor with the ability to capture RAW image files.
The X-S1 features Fuji’s signature EXR mode and captures 1080p video with stereo audio. It includes an articulating LCD and makes serious performance claims of 0.01 second shutter lag and 7fps image capture at full resolution.
The Fuji X-S1 should be available in the UK in February at an initial retail price of £699. No word yet on official US pricing. Check availability on Amazon.com.

As I have been perusing through the Black Friday ads this week, the one thing I’ve noticed is how underwhelming most of the DSLR “doorbuster” deals have been. And how Amazon’s ordinary prices are inline with these Black Friday deals.
For instance, almost every major brick & mortar retailer is selling the Canon Rebel T3 at $479 as some kind of huge deal. It was $478 on Amazon earlier this week and is $468 at the time of this post.
Amazon is offering a free basic backpack and an 8GB memory card with several Canon Rebel kits (e.g., T3, T2i, T3i), most of which are already cheaper than what’s you’ll find if you happen to make it into a store at 4AM and find them in stock. Throw in the Transcend 8GB card and basic camera backpack, and you’ve got all the more reason to stay inside on Black Friday.
