Last week, the Panasonic folks invited me over for some personal fondling time with their cameras. The ZS-7 stood out the most to me because of the feature set and the types of cameras that the readers of this blog usually use (even more so than the TS2.)

Today, Panasonic announced an update to their Lumix camera line. Amongst the updates are the TS2 and the ZS-7, which I have hands-on with. Target audiences and main specs after the jump.
Panasonic’s new tough camera is seemingly quite the trooper. I got some personal fondling time with the TS2 recently with Panasonic’s invite. The camera seems to be quite impressive from my brief hands-on time with them. Tech specs, handling, etc after the jump.
Today, Pentax announced their new compacts including that gorgeous sexiness of a camera up above: the I-10. Others include the E90 and H90 which still have pretty nice specs as well. Target audiences, major specs and press releases after the jump.

I can’t believe I’m linking to this but Ken Rockwell says that the high ISO capabilities of the Canon S90 seems the same as the Leica M9. I’ve done some research on this and it seems a bit crazy. Granted it’s Ken Rockwell. More after the jump.

This was shot while my sister and I were cooking (I was cooking stove top Ziti alongside) with my 5D Mk II and 50mm F1.8 II at F4. I brightened …

This was shot while my sister and I were cooking (I was cooking stove top Ziti alongside) with my 5D Mk II and 50mm F1.8 II at F4. Little to no work was done in photoshop. …
Freezing your camera apparently gives you better high ISO. That’s what one user is saying on 4Chan’s /p/ thread. Apparently the user stuck his Sony A350 in the freezer and got better results at ISO 3200. More on this after the jump.
