With 64GB of internal flash memory and an external SDXC memory card reader, Canon’s Vixia HF M32 Dual Flash Memory camcorder can store up to two terabytes of memory.

With the internal Flash alone, the camcorder can record up to 24 hours of HD video. Once memory cards are added, the device is enhanced not just with the storage capacity, but with increased data-transfer speeds.

This model possesses many of the features found in its predecessor’s...

Compatible with high-grade, E-mount lenses, the VG10 is optimized for video shooting with silent operation and autofocus. With the use of a mount adapter, it is also compatible with many A-mount lenses from Sony’s DSLR camera line.

Outfitted with an Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, the camcorder enables videographers to shoot...

Even without the accompanying camera body, Panasonic has begun development on “the world’s first interchangeable 3D lens.”

The company’s “twin lens” is scheduled to be released this year, and will eventually be developed to work with the Lumix G Micro System line.

This 3D lens will feature two optical systems installed within the diameter of the lens mount, creating stereoscopic images from the left and right lenses that will then be viewable with any 3D-image processing system.

Tamron has debuted its superior performance SP 70-300mm Di VC USD telephoto lens.

Features for this lens include extra-low-dispersion glass for reduced light refraction as well as ultrasonic, silent drive and vibration compensation, both of which make the lens faster and quieter.

The lens is compatible with full-frame or 35mm sensor cameras. When used with an APS-C sensor camera, the angle of view will change the zoom range to...

Sinar Photography has introduced the Sinar p-slr, a professional attachment that allows photographers to use DSLR camera bodies with Sinar view cameras as digital backs.
By combining the two units, photographers can gain more control of selective sharpness, as well as tilt and shift perspectives.
Compatible with all Canon and Nikon SLRs, this device allows bellows and filters to be attached...

To help compensate for slow autofocusing when using extreme zoom settings in compact cameras, Fujifilm has released the F300EXR, a 15x zoom, supercompact camera with hybrid autofocusing technology. Only 2 x 5.5 x 6.7 inches in size, the F300 comes with 12-megapixel resolution; a 24-360mm-equivalent built-in lens; and a 3-inch high-contrast, wide-view-enabled LCD screen.

The new hybrid autofocus systems include contrast AF, which is ideal for low-light scenes, and phase detection AF, which offers faster focusing in normal-light...

Canon has added two high-performance point-and-shoot cameras to its PowerShot line: the S95 and the SD4500.

Featured on both of these cameras is a 10-megapixel high-sensitivity system for improved low-light shooting. For even more enhanced low-light shooting, the S95 also uses an f/2.0 lens.

While both models are equipped with HD video recording capabilities, the S95 shoots in 720p resolution and the SD4500 shoots in 1080p. However, the S95 is the first...

Panasonic has created the 10.1-megapixel Lumix LX5, a compact digital camera with a high-sensitivity CCD sensor and an f/2.0 Leica lens.

With the ultra-bright, ultra-wide-angle 24mm Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens, the LX5 minimizes image distortion and offers up to 3.8x optical zoom.

The camera also offers HD video capture in AVCHD Lite — a format that allows for nearly double the amount of HD video storage — and enhanced video with an array of...
