Olympus has a camera that will make you want to replace the one you have now. The Olympus Mju 1020 will really make you want it ASAP! The fact that it is only a limited edition makes it even more desirable. Olympus only produced 5,000 units of this white-colored camera and the fun thing about this is that it comes with three colorful and unique-looking skins.

One of the concerns of a lot of photography buffs is the storage available to them. I’ve been into photography lately myself so I understand that it can be frustrating when the camera’s memory becomes full when there are still lots of beautiful spots to capture on the lenses. Sony has come up with the perfect solution to this dilemma. The newly released Cyber-shot DSC-T2 already contains a built-in 4GB storage so there’s no need to buy a memory card…although this cam also has a memory card slot.

Sony Cyber-Shot

Sony had made and released several models of digital cameras for the world market. Among their popular models are the Cyber-Shot series.

GE E-1040 Digital Camera

GE has several new digital camera offerings for the market in the X-series, G-series, E-series and the A-series. While browsing, the one I liked best is the E-series particularly the E-1040. This digital camera sports a compact and flawless design with quite competitive features! And it is a mid-priced camera that one can easily set a budget for. The most important thing when taking pictures is how it would look after printing which is why the E-1040 is equipped with high 10-megapixels. Capturing scenes from a distance is made easy with the 4X optical digital zoom and the 4.5X digital zoom. The 3-inch LCD screen is ample for viewing captured contents.
