Its High-Magnification Zoom and Powerful Optical Image stabilisation helps the Camera to capture the finest details of the image.

The camera allows you to shooting a movie in full HD, with 60p/fps and stereo sound. SL1000 has a 16 million pixels 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor, which makes it able to cope shooting at sensitivities as high as ISO 12800, and ensures high quality images even in low light conditions.

Nikon Releases Its New Photogenic Beauty

MD Nikon India, Mr. Hiroshi Takashina along with the brilliant Raghu Rai launched the DX-format D7100 on Saturday for the Indian market. Bringing the new 24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor, the new dSLR also has an EXPEED 3 processor on boards. It also has 51 AF points with 15 stops having cross-type focus

A new addition (rather exclusion) is the non availability of the OLPF filter which is generally used to minimise moiré effect or scenes with repeating patterns, but its presence dulls the sharpness. Thus, NIkon proudly claims that the D7100 will have a very crisp sharpness

There is also an option of adding a new gig called 1.3 DX crop mode, which enables one to "extend" the length of his lens technologically.

It will be available by April at a price of about Rs. 79,450 (body).

Instagram Launching It's Own Camera

For those of you who are obsessed with taking snaps of everything they can see around them, Instagram along with Socialmatic and Polaroid has signed a deal to launch cameras which even have a small printer in them.

The original idea was thought of sometime ago, and it had a 4.3" touchscreen, built in WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G connectivity options and ran on Android. It was also supposed to have interchangeable lens. The final product, expected to launch in 2014, will have how many of these features - no one knows.

Let's hope for the best, Galaxy Camera now has a rival.

Samsung Cuts Down The Price Of The Galaxy Camera To Rs.26,520

Samsung electronics has cut down the price of its Galaxy Camera which was available at Rs. 29,900 in past but is now available for Rs.26,520. And suprisingly, this Camera was just launched 2 months before, and the first time, Samsung has cut down price of any Galaxy product this early.

The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Camera comes with a 16.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, 21x optical zoom and a 23mm wide-angle lens. The Galaxy camera has a 4.8-inch HD Super Clear Touch Display and is powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM. 

The camera gets 8GB of internal storage along with a micro-SD card slot for storage expansion. This device runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the camera offers all the Android goodness which a phone gives you and you can download any of the 700,000 Apps available on the Google Play Store.

We don't know why Samsung has does it but the major issue for this can be that Samsung is launching a WiFi variant of this Camera. The WiFi variant will not have 3G which this device is having. But we not have any information about what will be the price of the WiFi variant and when will it launch but its price should be less than WiFi+3G variant.
