Three New Point-And-Shoot Cameras From Sanyo

Sanyo comes back with three new point-and-shoot cameras in the form of the X1420, X1220 and S122. The X1420 is the top of the line model, it sports a 14-megapixel image sensor, a 28mm wide-angle lens, a 4x optical zoom lens, a 3-inch LCD monitor, SDXC card support and 720p HD video recording at 30fps. Meanwhile, the X1220 and S122 offer the same 12-megapixel image sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens, a 2.7-inch LCD display and VGA video recording. The only difference between the two cameras is that the X1220 is powered by a lithium-ion battery, while the S122 gets its power from AA batteries. The X1420, X1220 and S122 will become available in Spring for 149 Euro (about $203), 129 Euro (about $176) and 99 Euro (about $135), respectively.

Pentax's X90 Has An Optical Power Zoom of 26x [Digital Cameras]

Pentax's X90 Has An Optical Power Zoom of 26x [Digital Cameras]

If you haven't got nearly enough of the cameras coming out of the PMA show this week, you couldn't go wrong with the 26x optical zoomer X90 from Pentax, which takes last year's X70 and ups the zoom-factor.

It's still got a 12.1-megapixel sensor, but going back to that zoom lens it now spans a 26mm wide angle to 676mm super telephoto. The LCD measures 2.7-inches and it shoots HD video (no word on specifics, yet) and has face detection, triple shake reduction, anti-shake, an electronic viewfinder, Eye-Fi compatibility and a HDMI interface with USB 2.0 port. Battery life has also been improved by 50 per cent over the X70. You'd be pretty steaming if you splashed the cash on last year's model, though as the date of release hasn't been mentioned by Pentax just yet, it could still be some way off.
