Canon SD4000 Digital Elph For Creative On The Go

Being one of the best camera manufacturer, Canon adds a new point and shoot collection that inherits Canon S90 merits. Canon Powershot SD4000 is a Digital Elph camera with f/2.0 lens that is of high quality and also seen in S90. You can hope for a better imgae quality in SD4000 because this 10 megapixels Canon also bring the HS system with its small bodies. This high sensitivity system claimed to improve your shots with their Digic 4 and High Sensitivity sensor combined to do the trick.

Digital Elph SD4000 IS review feature wide angle lens at 28mm, not to forget their 3.8x optical zoom to bring you closer to your subject, even if that is not a great zoom capability. SD4000 small bodies also bring you some speed with it, you can have your camera take shots up to 8.4 frames per second when you're going into burst mode. SD4000 sensitivity can go up to ISO 3200 and still retain its maximal megapixels. You can go higher in sensitivity up to 6400 by sacrificing your image resolution to 2.5 MP though.

Other great feature owned by this Powershot SD4000 system are their Aperture and Shutter control. Addition of this feature might become useful for photographer with a little more creativity on their shots. Video recording capability in SD4000 already meet the 720p HD video capture standards. If I should say something I don't like with this Digital Elph, that it would be their mediocre design with no color combination on their black SD4000 :(

HD Video USB Camcorder with USB 3.0

We've been hearing a lot about the development of USB 3.0 data communication, and I guess we can start seeing the result of that research in the camera device. Point Grey, recently demonstrated their new webcam that was able to stream HD Video in 1080p resolution at 60 fps without any compression. That resolution combined with more frames was a pretty big data to send but in return, it will deliver a very sharp motion picture quality, all of this is possible thanks to the Point Grey USB 3.0 Webcam.

However, the USB 3.0 existence was still not a standard in the nowadays manufactures, therefore they don't exist in the common PC motherboard we can find in the market. But it is not without solution, if you happen to only own a USB 2.0 port in your PC or laptop, you can still use this USB camera by using additional PCI-Express to USB3.0 converter Card. Point Grey stated that they would release this new USB 3.0 webcam in late 2009 or early 2010. Well, we'll be waiting then :D
