If you are looking for a compact average camera that serves you to capture the daily life then this is something for you. Two low-end compact cameras is what Samsung presented us. Samsung S860 has 8.1 megapixels and Samsung S760 has 7.2 megapixels, that and the price is only difference between them.

Both the Samsung S860 as the Samsung S760 have: 3x optical zoom, 2.4 inch LCD to focus and verify the results of our shots, facial recognition system and 11 different shooting modes. They also have digital image stabilizer, the possibility of recording video VGA at 30 frames per second with resolution 640 x 480 pixels.

The cameras have a simple photographic edition system that allows changing some basic effects (large, brightness, contrasts, red eyes, etc). The cameras will be made available for sale from January 2008. The Samsung S860 will cost $180, while Samsung S760 $170.

This is not one of those disposable cameras that helps us when we do not have a proper camera to shoot at unexpected moments but could do well agains its competition. Why? Basically, for its low price. This compact launched recently by the Exemode for just $91.

But by having such a low price it doesen’t mean that the DC539 is crap, because it has 5.1 megapixels of resolution thanks to its CMOS sensor, a TFT 2.4 inch screen and it can record video at 30 frames per second. It has a compact size of 86 x 57 x 26.5 mm and weights only 83g and in the absence of internal memory it has a slot for SD memory cards up to 1 GB. I am not going to say that it can compete with Canon but for $91 is not possible to ask for more.

Although not too much can be said of the new line of compact Casio has launched within its Exilim series. So far, the only thing that is flashing on his sobriety, with a model that provides color black, unlike some of his colleagues.

Outside this option pitch, it has not changed anything with respect to the Exilim V8 we know with metallic finish. Like it, the Casio Exilim Hi-ZOOM EX-V8 retains a CCD sensor of 8.1 megapixels and optical zoom 7 increases. If your question is whether you can record video, the answer is yes, it does so at a speed of 30 frames per second and stores the information in its low of 11.8 MB internal memory but luckily also accepts SD memory and SDHC.

Okay, we agree, you are not faced with a Canon, Nikon or Olympus but at least it has a price that does not exceed 200 dollars, which makes it more querible. Because of this camera is unknown yet, which means: photos are very good for reasonable price. But it is not so bad and surprised with its resolution of 10 mp through its Panasonic CCD sensor. The optical zoom is 3x and achieves an ISO 800, which are complemented by a screen 2.5-inch and 32 MB of internal memory. The DXG-110 records videos with 30 frames per second.

Sony introduced the new model DSC-T2 with a resolution 8.1 Mpixeles who probably do not need an external memory device, because the factory already comes with an internal memory of 4GB.

The 3x zoom is soft, but still with that amount of pixelaje, images are very well even when using the maximum zoom. You have the option of recording video in HD format, touchscreen of 2.7 inches and navigation screen, with tools for handling and administration image. And speaking of software, including one that has facilitated the transfer and publishing images to Flickr site, YouTube and other sites.

One of its best features is that it has a compression system in the event that you have passed a certain amount of information, so if you think that you have the pictures of a trip, which hardly see, but you do not want to lose, you can compress and using less space without the need for a computer. It will be for sale in December for a price of $ 350USD.

Olympus has launched an lime green edition of the µ 790 SW. This is a unique version of 5,000 units which are now on sale in Europe. That might well be termed as the “digital camera nearly indestructible”, which has protection against: beatings, water and freeze.The µ 790 SW offers a resolution of 7.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, LCD hipercristal 2.5 inches, facial recognition technology, multiple modes including four specific to shoot under water (up to 3 meters depth). We must also add the image processor, TruePic III.

Other highlights include LI-42B batteries and charger, internal memory expansion by xD cards, and 24 languages to choose the Olympus Master software in its version 2.03.
