Lancerlink's DDV-1080HD HD camcorder lowers the bar

Lancerlink's DDV-1080HD HD camcorder lowers the bar

Watch out DXG, you've got a new rival in town, and it goes by the name Lancerlink. Just when we thought you had the cheap-o HD camcorder market all locked up, in comes this firm with a rather chintzy looking camcorder capable of logging clips at 1,440 x 1,080 (30fps) or 1,280 x 720 (60fps) in H.264 format. The 5-megapixel sensor can also snag stills, but considering that there's just 90MB of free memory within, you should probably keep an SD / MMC / SDHC card nearby. You'll also find a 3-inch LCD monitor, HDTV (component) output, USB connectivity and a rechargeable battery good for around four hours of use. The worst part, however, is the ¥49,800 ($474) price tag that's attached to the July-bound DDV-1080HD, which makes it a few hundies more than most of DXG's awfully similar collection.

Nikon D700 spy shots and info piling up

Nikon D700 spy shots and info piling up

Spy shots of what could be the Nikon D700 have been floating around for a while now, but it's only today that we've gotten a full-on body shot of the DSLR. Rumored specs basically paint the unit as a D300 body with the D3's FX sensor crammed inside, and there's speculation that the lens pictured is an upgraded version of Nikon's AF-S 24-120mm VR unit. We're also hearing that it'll be introduced in August and go on sale in December for $3300, but that's all speculation until this thing actually hits.

Available next month for £350 (about $689) or £400 (about $788) if you find that viewfinder a must.

Cons:

* Slow flash recycling time remain

Adobe Premiere Elements 4 Review

Quick rundown:

Pros: Simple and easy to use, but with the flexibility to create more complex videos.

Cons: No AVCHD support, yet.

Adobe makes it easy to create quick, appealing home movies with the latest installment of Adobe Premiere Elements. A slick interface, better integration with Photoshop Elements, and better support for Flash-based sites like YouTube make Adobe Premiere Elements 4 a great choice for video projects, but the current lack of AVCHD support makes it a product I cannot fully endorse for anyone wanting to edit non-HDV video.

Canon EOS Rebel XS 10MP entry-level D-SLR

Canon EOS Rebel XS 10MP entry-level D-SLR

Canon’s EOS Rebel XSi, the twelve-megapixel D-SLR announced back in January, has gained a sibling in the form of the Rebel XS. Replacing the existing Rebel XT, the XS increases the resolution from 8 to 10-megapixels and the preview screen from 1.8 to 2.5-inches. It also gains the XSi’s Live View, which allows photographers to frame their shots via the LCD rather than having to use the optical viewfinder.

Also carried over is the Digic III image processor, which in the XSi boosted start-up time to just 0.1s enabled up to 6/53 (Raw/JPEG) using continuous shooting mood at 3fps. Canon are yet to confirm the XS start-up time, but it too can manage an unlimited 3fps burst rate and has improved battery life. There’s also a 7-point autofocus system.

Pricing is yet to be confirmed - though Canon suggest it’ll be in the same range as the XT it replaces, which would peg it at around $630 to $740 - but we do know that there will be a beginners starter-kit that includes an image stabilization lens with the Rebel XS body. Specifically, it will include the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, also by Canon.

Sanyo's Xacti HD1010 1080i camcorder shoots 300fps slow-mo

Sanyo's Xacti HD1010 1080i camcorder shoots 300fps slow-mo

In its battle with Sony for 1080i pistol grips, Sanyo just announced a minor, but notable update to its premium HD1000 Full HD MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 camcorder. The new HD1010 adds improved image processing and stabilization, new 'face chaser' technology for stills and video, and amusing new 300fps slow-motion mode. Nothing compared to Casio's freakish EX-F1 but a nice novelty for shooting the kids' sporting adventures. Sanyo also tossed in a new 7fps continuous still shot mode which snags images at the sensor's maximum 4 megapixel resolution. A minor bump for sure but it makes for a compelling offering at the (relatively) low asking price of $800 when it hits the US in July (Japan, June 20th).
