Under the „professional” tag Panasonic released on the market the new AG-AF100 digital video camera.

This new baby boasts with Micro Four Thirds sensor and 4/3 lenses, filters and adapters. Using the AVC/ H.264 Hi Profile AVCHD codec and two SD slots supporting both SDHC and SDXC removable media the device can successfully record 1080/ 24p videos.

In addition to all that the AF100 features 48-kHz/16-bit two-channel digital audio recording, XLR inputs, USB 2.0, HDMI, HD-SDI out, time code recording, built-in stereo mic while supporting LPMC/ Dolby-AC3.

To sum up all the above, i don’t know how professional this cam really is but according to its specs it sure comes very closet on meeting this standard.

Canon impressed the entire world recently with its new PowerShot line.

First in line comes the HD-capable 14.1 MP Sx210 IS (available in gold, purple and black) riding on a 28mm wide-angle lens with 14x optical zoom and a 3-inch LCD. This baby is followed closely by the 14.1 MP SD3500IS (pink, silver and black) with its 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD and a 24mm ultra wide angle lens with 5x optical zoom.

Next, we have the very thin 14.1 MP SD1400IS that will be available in stores in pink, silver, orange and black clothing together with 28mm lens and 4x optical zoom.

Last but not least, the 12.1 MP SD1300IS boasts with a 2.7-inch LCD and a 28mm wide angle lens and 4x optical zoom while its case will be painted in silver, brown, pink, blue or green.

The SX210 will be available on the market starting this March for $349.00 but the rest of the team will be already here selling for $329.99, $249.99 and $199.99.

The iPod industry is writing its own page in the tech’s history but unfortunately for all shuffle fans the apple-shaped company is not planning to add a video camera to the iPod touch in the nearest future.

But don’t worry, every problem has a solution and this particular one is offered by Xiangyun Industry Co. This company just announced on the market the Mini MP3 DV Cam – a camcorder with no music playback functionality.

Inside the iPod shuffle-looking case the device packs a 1.3 megapixel sensor (640 x 480 resolution) and a built-in memory card for storing your precious clips.

The entire package will set you back $15 or $30 depending on how many items you order because… the minimum order is 100.

This baby is a new and improved version of its predecessor replacing the old 7.1x zoom with a new one of 10.7x. Also, the continuous shooting is now of 5 fps while the face detection and AF features have been enhanced. In other words the camera is now newbie-friendly.

In addition to all that the specs list also comprises HDR imaging capabilities and a powerful 9 megapixel CMOS sensor.

To sum up all the above you should know that the camera will be available on the market starting this September with a £299.99 ($495) price tag.

If you’re shopping for a compact high-speed camera then you should definitely check out the new Phantom Miro eX-series line-up signed Vision Research.

The design of the cameras looks a lot like a regular DSLR design and the specs list breathes high-speed video through all its pores. To be more precise, the line-up comprises both 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 resolution cams, with 500-100,000 fps, up to 1200 ISO for color and 4800 ISO for monochrome, up to 4GB of internal memory, a CompactFlash card slot and a generous 3.5-inch touchscreen.

When it comes to the financial aspect I can only say that the price for the base eX1 model is just a little under 10,000$.

The PL70 (also known as the SL720 in the US) boasts with a 3-inch LCD display, an optical image stabilize, 28mm wide-angle lens and 720p recording ability while the PL55 (a.k.a. SL502) features a 2.7-inch screen, digital image stabilization and 35mm wide-angle lens.
