New Breed Of Digital Camera

Recently while browsing through some photography magazine I happen to come across some really interesting articles on a new breed of digital cameras that have or will be making their way into the market.

For those of you who wants a compact P&S (point and shoot) camera but wish you could have better D-SLR quality like image or maybe you just wish that you were able to have interchangeable lens on your p&s camera, your wish have been granted I will call this new breed "ILC" (Interchangeable Lens Compact). I really think this is a fantastic idea, with this, more people will be interested in photography or armatures can step up their photography a notch.

So far only two Panasonic and Samsung have come out with this new format with Sony announcing that they will also have on their line up called Sony Alpha Compact. I cannot wait till Nikon and Canon comes out with their own version of "ILC". Just imagine a compact camera that have a APS or even a full frame sensor. The photography world is going to get shaken.

As far as I know, Samsung's NX10 will be using a 14.6 megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor while Panasonic's Lumix GF1 will be using a 21.3 megapixel Micro 4/3 Live MOS sensor and the Lumix GH1 will be using a 12.1 megapixel Micro 4/3 Live MOS sensor. The competition between the manufacturer is doing to market good. We as the consumer get better product at a cheaper price. And to me, this is the best piece of technology so far for 2010.

Pictured below is the Samsung NX 10, Panasonic Lumix GF1 and GH1.

 

So what are you waiting for? Its time to decide if you want to go full D-SLR or something like "ILC".

Great places to get all your photography needs is from Adorama or from Amazon if you are from the US or Canada. And if you are from the South East Asia, I would recommend then you pay ShaShinKi a visit. They ship on the same day and normally your item will arrive in 3-4 days.
