Eizo Nanao Technologies Inc. added two Eizo ColorEdge monitors to its hardware calibratable LCD monitors at last NAB 2010 Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The 30" ColorEdge CG303W and the 22" ColorEdge CG223W are designed for still and moving image work such as pre-press, digital photography, video editing, and post production.
The Eizo ColorEdge CG303W features an IPS (in-plane switching) LCD panel with a native resolution of 2560 ?1600 (16:10 aspect ratio) and reproduces 98% of the Adobe RGB color space. The maximum brightness is 260 cd/m², contrast ratio is 850:1, and the viewing angles are 178°. Dual DVI-D (digital) inputs are included for connection to two PCs.

Varioptic, the liquid lens company, announced that it has developed its first liquid lens.
The Varioptic A316S offering Optical Image Stabilization functionality to camera phones. Varioptics Autofocus (AF) liquid lenses are used in consumer, medical and industrial devices ranging from full HD DV camcorders, bar code readers, security cameras, dental cameras to machine vision cameras.
Liquid lenses have been in production since January 2007 and more recently, ramping mass production, with Japanese partner Seiko Instruments Inc. Varioptic has finalized the next generation of Optical Image Stabilization liquid lenses, correcting handshake.

Discover the HD difference. With the classically stylish PowerShot SX20 IS, you can produce magnificent HD movies and dazzling photos. Loaded with features, its got a high-powered 20x wide-angle optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer, 12.1 megapixels, a big 2.5-inch Vari-Angle LCD, Blink Detection and more.

The PowerShot SX20 IS is equipped with many of the same features as a higher-end camera: an ultra-powerful zoom, eye-popping resolution and advanced picture-improving technology. 12.1 megapixels of resolution gives your photography incomparable depth and ensures that any section of any shot can be enlarged and cropped with no loss in quality when you edit the image even if you choose to print the image. It can create crisp, clear 13 x 19-inch posters.

Since digital cameras were first developed in the late 1980s, sensor resolution has increased continuously every year, and almost every new camera or update of an existing model has featured a more powerful sensor.
However there's a point at which simply adding more megapixels ceases to have any real benefit, and in fact can have a negative effect.
Cramming more photocells onto a tiny compact camera sensor means those photocells have to be smaller, and are therefore less efficient at capturing light, especially at low light levels, leading to reduced dynamic range and more noise at higher ISO settings.

Canons commitment to innovation defines the excitement of the PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH. 12.1-megapixel resolution is more than a number, its your cutting-edge link to the outstanding clarity and quality youve always wanted in your images. Think bold and big, because razor-sharp oversized prints are a breeze.
Get the picture? Its absolutely brilliant.

Of the consumer-oriented image editing programs, probably the best known is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. It's a lot cheaper than the full version of Photoshop and much easier to use, but the latest version is still around £90. It's packed with useful features, including sophisticated face recognition and image sorting by content, as well as advanced tools like context-sensitive re-sizing, but £90 is a lot of money for most people.

Just when we thought 12 Megapixels to be a standard for a compact camera, and camera manufacturers had stopped tumbling over each other in order to introduce the highest possible amount of pixels, Aptina comes to spoil the fun. Aptina is offering a new MT9F001 image sensor to the manufacturers, featuring no less than 14 Megapixels. Here we go again Naturally, a sensor should achieve an optimal performance, and yes indeed; the sensor is able to capture full video (1080/60 fps). And just where will we see this Aptina 14 Megapixel sensor? According to the information we received, Sanyo seems to seems to have taken a fancy to it / seems to be rather taken by it.

The Kodak KAF-18500 Image Sensor was developed specifically for the newly announced Leica M9, the latest member in Leicas legendary M-series of cameras.
Enabling a new generation of features and capabilities for this Rangefinder camera, the Kodak sensor provides full-frame image capture, increased resolution, and improved image quality compared to the image sensor used in the previous generation Leica M8 camera.
The Leica M9 is now the fourth Leica camera to utilize Kodak CCD Image Sensors, building on Kodaks earlier support of the Leica Digital Module-R, the Leica M8 (Leicas first digital Rangefinder camera), and the new Leica S2 camera.
