Naming new tech products is hard.
For every inspired choice (Apple’s iPod), there’s usually one that’s bizarre (Tivoli Audio’s iYiYi), off-putting (DigiScents’ iSmell) or just plain incomprehensible (Samsung’s LA46A850S1F).

And the new camera announcements just keep rolling along.
The Canon PowerShot G12 is a mild update to the G11 and the SX30 IS is nothing more than a tweener with a superduper telephoto lens.
Not much is different about the G12 since it has the same sensor but now it records HD (720p) video and has a high sensitivity mode. Oh, and …
Following up on the NX10, Samsung has announced the NX100, a mirrorless 14.6-megapixel shooter with an i-Function lens. It looks a heck of a lot like the Olympus Pen series, doesn’t it?
According the Samsung, the NX100 shares many attributes with the NX10 from the APS-C sensor to the 3-inch AMOLED screen to the HD (720p) video …
The Coolpix P7000 from Nikon is the point-and-shoot camera we’ve all been waiting for. Nikon’s latest flagship compact drops the megapixels in favor of better low light performance and an overall polished package that has us lusting over it.
A 10.1-megapixel CCD sensor (1/1.7”), 7.1x wide angle optical zoom lens (28-200mm …
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again. Or something like that.
Following up on last year’s first-ever stereoscopic 3D camera, Fujifilm has announced the second-generation FinePix Real 3D W3 digital camera. Specs seem to be mostly unchanged from the W1 but the W3 shoots 3D in 720p. The exterior has been trimmed and …
Nikon’s update to the original projector camera, the S1000pj, is 40 percent better than the original. The S1100pj boasts a 14.1-megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom, 17 scene modes, 5-way image stabilization, ISO up to 6400 and 720p video recording.
The built-in 14-lumen projector is 40 percent brighter than its predecessor and can …
Taking Facebook profile pictures just got easier thanks to Samsung’s latest DualView point-and-shoot cameras: ST600 and ST100. With an enlarged 1.8-inch front-facing LCD, 14.2-megapixel shooters also have 3.5-inch rear touchscreens and they both shoot HD (720p) video. Both models feature a 5x optical zoom but it’s an internal zoom …
I wrote a little diddy for the magazine on four ‘rugged’ cameras from Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax and Casio. I also shot a video for the dot com and the iPad, as well. You can read the story here, but the video is a bit more fun to watch.

We currently have two products in the lab that need to be tested – Casio Exilim EX-G1 (a camera) and Casio G’zOne Brigade (a cell phone). Both products are of the rough and tumble variety, so our goal is to break them. How should we do it? Everything will be caught on camera so sky’s the limit.
Say hello to the 18-megapixel Canon t2i, folks. It’s a lot like the t1i, but it shoots full HD video like the 7D and ships next month for $799 (body-only).
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., February 8, 2010 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today introduced the new flagship model for the Company’s highly popular

Somebody spilled the beans earlier today, but Olympus has just officially unveiled the E-PL1. If you’re familiar with the PEN series from last year then this is the updated version that’s a tad stripped down, cheaper and a heck of a lot faster when it comes to auto-focusing. It even has a built-in flash that reminds me of Johnny 5. I …
Olympus updated a handful of their point-and-shoot cameras and while most updates of this nature would normally put me to sleep I was fortunate enough to have some hands-on time earlier today.
The biggest feature update across all the new Oly cams was the direct to HD video capture button. It’s red and in your face (in a good way). …
