Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Nikon announced the Nikon Coolpix L620 last week alongside its new 18-140mm lens and SB-300 compact speedlight.
The L620 is a mild point and shoot camera amidst a plethora of other compact cameras on the market. However, a decent spec sheet and a moderate price may serve the new camera well. [Read more…]
Alongside the full frame RX1R, Sony has announced the Cyber-shot RX100 II, which is the refreshed follow-up to the popular RX100. Sony claims that the new 1″ sensor in the RX100 II is roughly 40% more sensitive in dimly lit situations than the original RX100 (and the RX100 was no joke either). [Read more…]

Along with the new HX300 superzoom, Sony recently introduced the Cyber-shot WX300, which is an ultra-compact point and shoot camera. It features a 18.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor and a 20x optical zoom lens (25-500mm equivalent), which is quite impressive for such a small package. [Read more…]

The new Pentax MX-1 serious compact camera with a retro flare is in stock and now shipping. The MX-1 sports a 12MP sensor, 4x zoom lens, 1080p HD video and has a fast f/1.8-2.5 lens. Focus and shutter response are very fast for a point and shoot camera. I had a very positive first look at the MX-1 at CES 2013.
