The Samsung EX2 advanced point and shoot camera now comes in white (in addition to black). The 12.4MP compact camera captures RAW files, features a 3.3x optical zoom lens (24-80mm equivalent) with a f/1.4-2.7 max aperture and captures 1080p HD video. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
B&H now has the Fuji XF1 retro point and shoot camera in stock. As noted in my hands-on time with the camera, the XF1 features a unique lens twist/pull function to power the camera on, as well as a rotating zoom feature for the lens.
The Fuji XF1 is available in black, red and tan, all of which are currently in stock here at B&H Photo.
The Fuji XF1 is the latest X-Series point and shoot camera. It features a retro-style that’s as much of what defines the camera as technical features like the 12MP EXR CMOS sensor and f/1.8 lens.
The XF1 is certainly a pretty camera, and those specs put it near the top of point and shoot models around. The prints from the XF1 that I saw at PhotoPlus looked solid, which is promising for a camera as pretty as this one. [Read more…]
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 is a 20MP point and shoot camera. But this isn’t just any point and shoot camera. The RX100 sets itself apart from every other compact camera out there thanks to a much larger image sensor, which measures the same size as the Nikon 1 Series mirrorless camera system. Somehow, Sony managed to cram that sensor into a pocketable digicam.
Read on to find out if that big sensor combined with the rest of the RX100 features is enough to make this camera the king of pocket cams. [Read more…]

The Olympus Stylus XZ-2 is a follow-up to the popular and powerful XZ-1. The XZ-2 adds a new hybrid control ringer and touch controls similar to what is found on the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
The Olympus XZ-2 should be available in November 2012 for $599.99. Check availability here at B&H Photo.
The Canon PowerShot G15 picks up where the G12 left off and steps up the game for the serious compact camera line with a f/1.8-2.8 5x optical zoom lens (28-140mm equivalent) and faster AF and shot-to-shot times.
The G15 sports a conservative 12.1MP CMOS sensor and Canon DIGIC 5 image processor, while offering max ISO speeds up to 12,800 and 1080p HD video capture. The G15 continues the serious feature set of a hot shoe for Canon Speedlites and an optical viewfinder, as well as a 3-inch 922k-dot res LCD.
The Canon G15 should be available in October for $499.99. Check availability here at B&H Photo.
Fuji has taken the wraps off of its latest X-series camera, the XF1 compact camera.
The new XF1 is a retro take on the compact camera – styled much like the current X100, X-Pro1 and X-E1.
The Fuji XF1 features a 12MP 2/3-inch CMOS sensor and optical image stabilization on its 4x zoom lens (25-100mm equivalent). The lens offers a variable aperture of f/1.8-4.9 and a manual zoom ring. Other features include full HD video capture and 360-degree panoramic images.
The Fuji XF1 should be available in October for $499.95. It is currently available for pre-order here at Amazon.com.
It looks like Canon may be announcing a true successor to the PowerShot G12 next week prior to Photokina 2012. Recall that the Canon G1 X was announced earlier this year at CES 2012, causing speculation that the G-series may move to a larger sensor format.
The above leaked image appears to confirm, however, that the more compact-oriented camera line will continue with a PowerShot G15. [Read more…]
