Some things can never be kept secret and the Olympus E-P1 Micro Four Thirds compact has been unveiled a full day earlier than schedule, probably due to all the leaked pictures that were finding their way onto the web. Looking like a true tribute to classic rangefinders, the Olympus E-P1 Micro Four Thirds gives the Epson R-D1x Digital Rangefinder a run for its money in the style department at least.

Another day, another HD camcorder but wait, this time it carries the tag ‘World’s Lightest HD Camcorder’. How Panasonic’s lawyers got away with that one for the Panasonic HDC-SD10 and TM10 1080p camcorder’s we’ll never know.

The Samsung HMX-H106 Full HD Camcorder is the worlds first with 64GB SSD and is now available to pre-order courtesy of the internets procurer of fine goods Amazon. Not content with having a reasonably large SSD to play with, the Samsung HMX-H106 is also full HD so you have plenty of space to store those high density video and image files.

The Samsung SMX-C14 and SMX-C10 Camcorders are both billed as ergonomic camcorders and feature Samsung’s attractive ‘Touch of Color’ design style and Active Angle Lens. On the technical front, they are both gifted 10x optical zoom, Hyper Image Stabilization and a 230,000-dot, swivelling 2.7-inch wide LCD screen.

After much leaks, hype and PR, the Nikon D5000 DSLR camera is finally here and the best thing? All the leaks were actually spot on. This is a quality HD DSLR with a swivel screen (ooh) for just (and we say ‘just’ in relation to the usually extortionate prices for this kind of DSLR) $850.

First off, forget about owning the Leica Limited-Edition White M8 Digital any time soon. If you need to ask the price then it’s out of your budget. For the rest of us (internet) window shoppers, we’ll just admire the aesthetics and pretend we actually know what to do with anything more than a disposable point-and-shoot camera.

Following the slew of four-third cameras (well, one other) that we have featured recently, comes the Olympus E-450 DSLR. A 10-megapixel entry level DSLR from the erstwhile camera makers touted as being the world’s smallest DSLR with Art Filters.

Announced during this year’s PMA, the Panasonic DMC-GH1 is finally shipping April 24th. The Panasonic DMC-GH1 Micro Four Thirds is a faux-DSLR camera 1080p HD video. In the recent months we have seen a glut (well, 3) of these type of cameras (with 1080p HD video) but the signs are good that this may be one of the picks of the bunch.

The Canon Rebel T1i (EOS 500D) DSLR camera was leaked a few hours ago but we have got the full review details right here courtesy of Demystifying Digital. Billed as an entry-level DSLR, the specs on the Canon Rebel T1i are up enough on its predecessor to consider this a rather good buy if you have $800 – $900 to spare.

The Nikon Touchcam Coolpix eXtreme Compact Digicam concept by designer Camillo Vanacore is as slick as it gets. Boasting a sand-weathered-stone body shape and a continuous LCD on the back panel, this camera is like the Dark Knight of point and shooters.
