CES 2009: Samsung's other four digital cameras – the WB500, ST10, ST50 and ES55
As well as four tasty-looking compacts for the lady-blogger’s handbag, Samsung has also revealed a chunkier wide-angle snapper for the man who wants to look like he’s a proper photographer – plus some extremely odd novelties and a 10megapixel £79 job for kids and grandparents.
Samsung has been busy. Here are four more of its camera department’s new designs in a big list, starting with the…
…the WB500, which is Samsung’s first go at doing a mega-zoom camera. This model maxes-out at 10x – and features a wide-angle 24mm lens to battle Panasonic’s extremely popular Lumix range. It has a 10megapixel sensor and can also record movies in HD spec.
Samsung UK has given the WB500 a tentative RRP of £229 and says it’ll be out in the UK from January 2009. Which means soon…
CES 2009: Samsung brings Blu-ray to the sound bar with the HT-BD8200
Right, this is defintely the last time I’m writing the word Samsung today and that’s only because the HT-BD8200 is the first and only sound bar to include a Blu-ray player. What is it with them and Blu-ray…
CES 2009: Sony's new eco TV knows you're there
Do you like jigging your leg when you watch the TV? Then Sony have the perfect TV for you! Their new Eco Bravia line has a 40% reduction of power usage compared to standard models, through a number of environmentally happy features, the most bizarre of which is undoubtedly the Presence Sensor.
CES 2009: Sony Webbie camcorder rivals Flip Mino HD
The kids have got the money, and apparently, they like orange and purple. At least that’s the impression you get from Sony’s latest range of camcorders, dubbed the Webbies. Both models record in MPEG4 format, making uploading to the likes of YouTube a piece of cake, and they both record in HD.
CES 2009: Four compacts from Samsung – HZ10W, TL100, SL102 & SL420
Glad to see Samsung didn’t forget simple stills photography today with the launch of four compact cameras for the world to papp with. The SL102 and SL420 are 10.2-megapixel additions to the familiar SL range but it’s the 16.6mm thin TL100 and the 24mm ultra wide, 10x mega zoom HZ10W…
CES 2009: Sony launches 3G ultraportable laptop
Sony have launched the latest in their popular Vaio range this afternoon, with the P Series ‘Lifestyle PC’ AKA pretty coloured laptops. There’s built-in GPS, an 8-inch LCD screen, integrated LAN and the bility to masquerade as a business envelope in terms of size.
CES 2009: Camcorders go solid state with the 64GB SSD Samsung HMX-H106
Samsung has pulled another exclusive out the bag but for how long is another question. Among their fleet of camcorders just announced is the flagship Samsung HMX-H106 which is the first to feature a 64GB SSD, slightly depressingly giving it more storage than any hardware I own.
All this space means that you can record up to a staggering 12 hours of footage…
CES 2009: Panasonic's portable Blu-ray player
I guess now that Blu-ray discs are getting cheaper it’s only natural that portable players will come into their own, and Panasonic has made history by creating the worlds first travel Blu-ray DVD player. The DMP-B15 has a 8.9 inch WSVGA screen, and has a three hour rechargeable battery. More excitingly however is the fact that the machine has an HDMI slot which means you can hook it up to an
CES 2009: Panasonic introduce camcorders with a 70x optical zoom
Now a 70x zoom is extraordinary. Seriously that one fact basically overshadows every other thing they’ve said about their three new camcorders. Think about it, you’ll basically be able to zoom in on a piece of spaghetti someone is eating and capture every last drop of grease dripping from it. Nice.
CES 2009: Samsung get wall mount fever with the first attachable BD-P4600 Blu-ray player
Alongside the glut of screens and assorted boxed up circuitry, Samsung announced the slightly bizarre but rather attractive wall mountable BD-P4600 Blu-ray player. Funnily enough, it’s the first wall mountable Blu-ray player largely because most normal people aren’t interested in stapling all appliance to their masonry. What’s next? The kettle? The 1″ microwave?…
