As temperatures start to climb it’s time to plan a holiday
to escape the heat. BusinessToday offers a roundup of the
best new cameras to take on holiday
Casio Exilim EX-Z9
The new Casio Exilim EX-Z9 is as compact and portable as its
name implies. With 8.1 megapixels, this stylish point-and-shoot
camera has 3x optical zoom to help get the perfect picture.
The camera has a user-friendly 2.6-inch LCD screen and 23
Best Shot modes, including Face Detection technology and Easy
Mode, which allows users to take sharp photos without checking
presets. Additional features range from Anti Shake DSP (which
reduces photo blur from shaky hands or moving subjects) to
18.6MB of on-board memory.
Nikon Coolpix S600
Nikon’s Coolpix S600 is a stylish and compact new camera that
has swift start-up time, advanced functions and outstanding
photographic performance. The ten-megapixel camera delivers
high-speed auto-focus performance and has large, user-friendly
buttons and a 2.7-inch LCD monitor. Among its features are
Image Stabilisation, which helps achieve sharper results and
different scene modes such as Active Child mode; and three
movie modes.
Sony DSC-H50
Sony’s latest high-zoom camera is the 9.1 megapixel DSC-H50
digital camera. This new model has a powerful Carl Zeiss 15x
optical zoom lens with technology that allows you to capture
action at a distance. The camera also has a large, three-inch
tilting LCD screen, which enables users to shoot from both
low and high angles. The camera’s long-distance flash is capable
of illuminating subjects more than 16 metres away. It has
other features to improve pictures, too, including improved
Smile Shutter and Face Detection technologies and Intelligent
Scene Recognition with standard and advanced modes to analyse
shooting conditions and select the optimal setting automatically.
Olympus E-420
Small and portable, the Olympus E-420 has a number of features
including enhanced autofocus Live View, which enables users
to hold the camera away from their faces and interact with
their subjects – useful for taking photos of children, for
example. The ultra-compact, lightweight camera also has a
bigger, 2.7-inch LCD and Face Detection, which is ideal for
portraits as it distinguishes between faces and backgrounds
and Shadow Adjustment Technology (which prevents photos from
being too dark or overexposed)
