Sony has recently discovered an issue affecting the “slide show with music” function in certain units of its Digital Still Camera Cyber-shot DSC-T100.
When the “slide show with music” function is used with your transferred music more than 170 seconds in length, the slide show may not play correctly, with the message “No images” appearing on the LCD screen.
This issue is caused by a problem affecting the unit’s built-in software that results in insufficient memory capacity during playback.

In its effort to ensure customer satisfaction, Sony has elected to offer a downloadable software update to owners of affected cameras. Installing the downloadable update will resolve the issue.
Sony will also offer a free repair service for customers who prefer not to perform the update. Any customers requiring this service are requested to contact Sony Support at 800-222-SONY (800-222-7669).

Coolpix S5 is an ultra-slim but strong build pocket compact digital camera from Nikon. It features In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, Face Priority AF, and D-Lighting, plus a new One-Touch Portrait button on top of the camera which combines Face Priority AF with In-Camera Red-Eye Fix to help users improve their portraits. Pictmotion allows the adding of music to the pictures and pick a style (Motion, Moody, Classic etc.) for displaying them in slideshow playback. I like the way the buttons and menus are arranged at the back: intuitive and easy to use, in such way that even if it has so many advanced features, you can remember where to access them. This camera also comes with an optical viewfinder that may come in handy when you want to spear some battery life. As for image quality, the Nikon S5 produces sharp images with good colors, low noise and accurate white balance; low incidence of purple fringing and flare.

Coolpix S10 makes some significant improvements over its predecessor, the Coolpix S4, adding image stabilization, a stronger flash, a sharper LCD, and more. The lens doesn’t extend or retract – it rotates 270 degrees relative to the monitor screen, and the camera comes with a lens cover to protect it when not in use. It’s a stylish design of this metal digicam from Nikon that fits every pocket but feels too little in big hands. Since this lens is bigger than on other compact cameras, fewer optical distortions and aberrations are to be seen on the images. Too bad it does not have manual controls; otherwise I would love this camera: excellent image quality, 10x optical zoom, vibration reduction, D-Lighting, Face-priority AF, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, One-touch portrait button, 15 Scene modes and Pictmotion features. When using high zoom, however, the camera focuses very slow.

The Canon SD700 IS is a little bit larger than other Canon SD (Ixus) models. It is equipped with build-in flash and optical viewfinder (only 79% accuracy) at that top of the back; the buttons are located on the right side of the LCD. Like the other models from this series, it does not have shutter and aperture priority modes (but 16 other shooting modes). It features useful optical image stabilization system (with three modes, Continuous, Shoot Only, and Panning) and 4x optical zoom instead of 3x, as well as customizable “My Camera” settings. The SD700 IS reproduces the colors very well; images are sharp, free from noise (surprisingly low up to ISO 800) and artefacts, and it is also very responsive. This is everything you could want in a compact camera that makes not just decent photo, but excellent ones – maybe therefore its price is not the most competitive. DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) and PictBridge compatibility are ensured.

Most of the photo editing Software have a function called “Invert” or “Invert Colors”. This function, sometimes combined with the chage of “Hue”, gives the image irrealistic colors. By inversion of colors, all dark colors become lighten and all light colors become darker; warm colors become cold colors and vice-versa. The green usualy becomes magenta. The so called “alien environment” is also based on the greens and blues.

Digital camera manufacturer DXG yesterday announced the DXG-589V with 5 megapixels CMOS sensor that can capture JPEGs and MPEG-4 video at VGA resolution (640×480 at 30fps). What makes this camera special is the fact that it comes equipped with still, video, music, and gaming functions: 20 built-in games in 2D or 3D animation, featuring a video game toggle dial and a rotating fliping screen design (resembling Gameboy design). In addition, the DXG-589V is also equipped towards travellers who want to bring their media with them anywhere.589V can record video directly from TVs, DVD players, and VCRs to be stored on SD media.

You now read about the world’s slimmest 7-megapixel camera with a 3.0” touch panel display.
Not only has just beaten the “slim” record (previously award was for Casio Elixim models), but its sleek stainless steel edged body also comes in three colors destined to attract: Cool Silver, Midnight Black, Vixen-Red, Pearl White. The large LCD covers almost completely the back of the camera and before you ask where the buttons are, remember this is a touch screen.
Features include: fun photo frame and stamp options, S.S.F. (Super Shake-Free) system which helps stabilize your images when your hands shake the camera. The T700 also supports high ISO value: ISO 4000 in movie recording move and ISO 1200 in photo mode, letting you better capture fast-moving objects or taking photos in low light conditions, but be aware of the high noise at these settings.
