Monday News Roundup

- Fuji has released a sub-$200 digital camera with 9 megapixel resolution. The A920 is the lateset point and shoot model from Fuji that is designed for first-time buyers. The camera incorporates Fujifilm’s signature Super CCD sensor technology, a 4x optical zoom lens and features a 2.7” LCD.

- While most think of camera phones as novelty devices and not serious cameras, the camera makers want to change that perception. Samsung has announced that they will introduce a line of 8 megapixel cameras in the first half of 2008. This falls on the heels of Nokia announcing their N82 camera phone with a 5 megapixel sensor.

- CameraNews has a review of the new Nikon P5100 camera. The P5100 is a 12 megapixel point and shoot with features that will delight serious photographers including; total exposure control, image stabilization, an ISO range from 64 to 1600, and much more. To read more, check out the review here.

- In a previous post I talked about the introduction of the new Kodak TMax-400 B&W film. The folks over at Secrets of Digital Imaging have posted interviews with Kodak’s Scott DiSabato and photographer John Sexton who give insights into why the film was introduced and how it performs.
