Panasonic introduced a new LUMIX series with brand new AVCHD Lite video format, the Panasonic LUMIX TZ7. Like most of the latest models in the LUMIX series, the TZ7 is capable of wide angle shots with its 25-300mm (35mm equivalent) lens. As such, you’ll also have a stronger optical zoom ratio at up to 12X, which serves well for long distance shots. The device retains the standard 1/2.33″ sensor size used in its latest lineup, and balances it off with a 10.1MP resolution. This should keep the noise level in check, and we did see less discernible noise in our color charts, though going beyond the ISO 800 range is not recommended due to the resultant noise. Panasonic’s iA mode does reasonably well in identifying and correcting the camera’s various features such as white balance, scene and shutter speed to enhance the image quality. Keeping in line with its mid-range series, the TZ7 comes with Panasonic’s latest Face Recognition feature that aids in sorting images according to your preset facial settings.

Canon has announced its new EOS series DSLR camera for advanced amateur segment, the Canon EOS 50D, which builds upon the success of the preceding model with greater performance, ease of use, and more advanced features designed to extend the capability and creativity of its user. The EOS 50D is equiped with Canon’s latest DIGIC 4 image processor, offering high speed rendering of fine detail, natural colour reproduction, low noise and greater signal processing speed (1.3 times over DIGIC III). DIGIC 4 also offers additional features, such as real-time face detection AF during Live View shooting, Auto Lighting Enhanced Optimizer which automatically corrects image exposure, automatic correction of lens vignetting and the convenience of HDMI output. With a newly-developmed APS-C sized CMOS sensor at 15.1-megapixels, the Canon EOS 50D offers the highest image resolution, which also boasts an expanded ISO range from the previous model (H1:6400 and H2:12800).

Canon EOS 50D comes with a 3-inch VGA LCD screen of 920,000 pixels, four times the performance of the preceding model, with improved Live View shooting mode. Together with special coatings to reduce glare and resist smudging, picture review is now much easier and more precise. To cope with the increased data stream of higher image resolution, the EOS 50D is compatible with UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) CF cards which offer twice the data transfer speed over EOS 40D (predecessor model).

Even while advanced users will appreciate the highly sophisticated technologies and functions built into the EOS 50D, the novice user is not forgotten. By virtue of the new Creative Auto shooting mode which is readily accessible via the Mode Dial, novice photographers can now tweak camera settings with confidence through a simple menu, by selecting the desired picture attributes. Instead of grappling with exposure compensation or aperture values, in the Creative Auto mode, users simply decide whether they desire the background to be in focus or blurred out, whether the image should be bright or darkened, etc. with the camera taking care of the required settings.
