Panasonic has pulled out two new rugged point and shoot cams, highlighted by the Lumix TS4. Currently the toughest cam on Panasonic’s Lumix line, the TS4 is built with a case that can survive dips down to 40 feet of water, drops from up to 6.6 feet, as well as dust and extreme temperatures (down to 14F).
Samsung has announced a new camera that falls under their DualView line, the DV300F. Like the rest of the lot, this 16-megapixel compact point-and-shoot is highlighted by a 1.5-inch front display that should appeal to self-snappers and… people who want to check out what they look like before the shooter snaps the shutter, we assume (it’s also handy for shooting kids: the screen can also play an animation to keep their eyes on the cam). The DV300F is also the first cam in the series to come with built-in Wi-fi for instantly sharing photos to Facebook, Picasa, Flickr and YouTube. Hit the break for the full press release.
Nikon’s yet-to-be-announced successor to the D700 DSLR cam has been revealed in a leak during the weekend. According to the reported details, the D800 will be feature the highest ever resolution for a Nikon DSLR with 36 megapixels (capable of snapping 7360 x 4912 stills), all packed in a body that’s smaller and lighter than its predecessor.
Belkin has put out two new camera accessories for the iPhone 4S, making the new iPhone’s awesome built-in camera a little bit more awesome to use. First up is the LiveAction Camera Grip, which is basically a contoured mold that makes the slim device easier to handle. Besides giving you something more substantial to hold on to, the Camera Grip also adds a dedicated “fast-fire” shutter button and a tripod mount. The LiveAction Camera Remote is a kit that’ll let you take a photo or video from up to 30 feet away – basically handy for taking group photos that includes you for a change. Prices and full presser after the break.
