Here’s a hybrid device that comes with a useful mix of functions: Aiptek’s PocketCinema Z20 combines a pico projector with a 5MP digital camera that can record 720p HD videos. That’s a handy thing to have on a vacation or a company trip that mixes business with a bit of downtime; a pocket-sized device that’ll shoot videos from the hip and then show them on the wall for everyone to watch right after.

Casio to release GPS-equipped HG10 camera in OctoberMonday, February 22nd, 2010
During the CES show held last month, Casio showed off an interesting prototype of a cam that featured location-aware functions along with the usual point-and-shoot basics. Known as the Exilim EX-HG10, the cam was basically the 12.1-megapixel Exilim H10, but packed with a GPS sensor and 3D accelerometer to make for a location-aware hybrid cam that packed a 10x optical zoom and 720p HD video recording. It’s not a prototype anymore; Casio says they’ll be shipping it in October. Samsung outs TL500: serious shooter’s compact cam supports RAWMonday, February 22nd, 2010

Sony outs ultraslim Cyber-shot TX5 rugged camThursday, February 18th, 2010
Sony has just introduced the Cyber-shot TX5, touted as the “world’s thinnest waterproof camera.” At less than an inch thick (17.7mm, to be exact), it’s a pretty good claim. It doesn’t even look like a ruggedized cam—at least not like the rest of the bunch with obvious rubberized exteriors. The TX5 pretty much borrows its design from the rest of Sony’s stylish T-series cams that come with smooth, clean lines and a solid sliding lens cover, but adds a pretty good degree of toughness with water, shock, dust, and freeze-protection. | ||

The 3D hype won’t end with video: apparently, Sony is gunning for a piece of the 3D pie that isn’t tied to an HDTV, PC, console, or home entertainment system. According to a 
Samsung literally dives in with the tough crowd with the AQ100, a rugged compact that can take the hits, dips and drops with the rest of the bunch, and the SL605, a semi-rugged cam that can still take the hits, but won’t survive a dunk in the kiddie pool.
Sony has just previewed a couple of new concept cams during the PMA show, showing a compact prototype under their Alpha line of cams that use an EVIL system to imply that they’re compact cams with Electronic Viewfinders and Interchangeable Lens (get it?) and not something that will kick your dog just for the hell of it.
