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.

Casio, Fuji, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic and Samsung all have new pink camera releases scheduled for this spring, and we have put together a short overview of each:

Casio announced that they are releasing four new models: the EX-Z270, the EX-Z400, the EX-S5 and the EX-S12 in March 2009.

One exciting new feature is the “Dynamic Photo” function (in the Z270, Z400 and S12), which makes it possible to cut out the subject in a photo and put it in another photo for a different background, or create a collage using parts of several different photos right in the camera. Other improvements include the new Engine 4.0, with better colors, less noise, auto-tracking of moving subjects, and less energy consumption (=longer battery life). The Z400 and Z270 also have a “makeup” function which smoothes the skin and soften the shadows on people’s faces. Specs in short:

EXILIM Zoom EX-Z270
10.1 megapixels, 4x optical zoom, 28-112mm focal length, 2.7″ display, 37 best shot modes, anti-shake, face detection, HD movie recording, YouTube mode. Weight: 3.9 oz. Size: 3.9×2.2×0.8”. MSRP $229.99
