The Nikon
CoolPix
5700 is now available at incredibly low prices, both for New and Nikon
Factory Refurbished Cameras.
If you are in the market for a high quality digital camera but don't
want to pay the normally high prices associated with these cameras, now
is the time to act. The Nikon CoolPix 5700, a five megapixel camera,
which was originally selling for around US$ 1,200. is now available
from Amazon retailers for as little as US$ 649.95 (maybe even lower by
now).
One of the reasons this camera is being offered at such low prices now
is of course the fact that Nikon will soon be coming out with a new
lower priced DSLR body to compete with the Canon Digital Rebel.

Leica
Digilux 2
The 'digital analog' EVF camera from Leica. Massive f2 lens, old 35mm
style manual aperture and manual shutter speed controls.
There will be a Panasonic branded version of this camera available at a
lower price. It unfortunately does not have as nice looking of a body
or the prestigious Leica name, but it is virtually the same camera and
will come in a choice of silver or black.
I hope to get at least one version of this camera for a test soon.
Should be available early in 2004

Minolta DiMAGE A1
The
DiMAGE A1 was re-designed for today's digital photographer. With a 5
megapixel display and a 7X optical zoom, equivalent to a 28 - 200mm
35mm zoom lens, the DiMAGE offers quality and versatility in a compact,
convenient package. Offering CxProcess II, the latest image-processing
technology, this camera providing the tools to fully capture the power
of digital imaging.
The DiMAGE A1 has
the world's fastest AF speed among 5-megapixel SLR-type digital cameras
with a non-interchangeable 5x or greater optical zoom.(1) Full-time AF
continually focuses when the grip sensor is activated to reduce
focusing time as well as to continually display a sharp image on the
monitors.
All cameras suffer
from a slight delay between pressing the shutter-release button and
when the image is captured. Especially at long focal lengths, this
slight delay can be significant with fast moving subjects. With
continuous AF, the DiMAGE A1 uses the new 3-D Predictive Focus Control
to track the subject from the time when the shutter-release button is
pressed until the exposure is made, all while ensuring optimal focus.
This new predictive focus control continually follows the subject
through 3D space to not only provide the sharpest images possible, but
to also reduce focusing time to catch the perfect moment.
