The one thing we’ve seen is that more and more cameras come with a 5x optical zoom, which is nice, you can never have too much zoom capability as far as we’re concerned. (The focal lenghts posted are the 35mm equivalents).

The only out of the ordinary product this spring is Sony’s bloggie (listed in part 2 of this mini-series), a camera/HD video camera with a 270 degree swivel lens, built-in USB arm and software that makes it super easy to upload your images and movies to your blog, YouTube, Shutterfly, Photobucket, etc.

It comes in two models – the CM5 and the PM5 – but only the PM5 has the swivel lens, and it’s the only model offered in pink. On the downside, the PM5 has no optical zoom, and photos are only 5MP. Having said that, it is a Sony product, so the design is flawless – super stylish – and I am sure there is a market for it.

Now, to the list of new cameras:

No new cameras in pink.

There’s only one new pink camera from Casio, the EX-Z90. A nice camera with a special feature called “Dynamic Photo”; a function which lets you add animated graphics (there are 8 built in) to still photos right in the camera. As in previous versions, you can also put a moving subject on a new background.

EXILIM Zoom EX-Z90

SELPHY CP780
The latest among the portable Canon printers, the small (6.9×3.0×5.2″) and lightweight (2.1 lbs) SELPHY CP780 is both cute and functional. Compatible with Windows and MAC, it produces borderless 4×6 prints (in around 47 sec.) with a resolution of 300×300 dpi. Just hook your camera up (or insert the memory card in the slot on the printer), and print. You can choose from five different color effects – black&white, sepia, vivid, neutral, and positive film – and the printer adjusts red eyes and corrects the brightness and contrast of faces in a photo automatically. There is a 2.5″ screen on top of the printer, so you have a chance to preview the results before hitting the print button. MSRP: $99.00.
