The ZR100 has a 12.1-megapixel sensor and offers full 1080p HD, continuous autofocusing video—which can be shot in Casio's "slo-mo" mode. With a faster processor, the ZR100 can also capture up to 30 high-speed burst still images at 40fps; although in this mode, images will be reduced to 10-megapixel resolution...

Samsung has launched the NX11, the latest addition to the NX interchangeable lens family. This new model will have three i-Function (iFn) lenses to choose from when it hits the market, a 18-55mm, a 20mm pancake and a 20-50mm zoom silver color lens.

With the i-Function lenses, users can quickly adjust fundamental camera settings—such as aperture, shutter speed, white balance, ISO sensitivity and focus—without having to look at the menu screen and reset the shot. For more intricate adjustments, users can still use the 3-inch LCD screen...

The HX100V houses a 27mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonar T lens with a 30x optical zoom, while the HX9V offers a 24mm Sony G lens with nearly half (16x) the optical zoom. Both lenses have been outfitted with optical steady shot technology, which uses a three-way shake cancellation for crisper images...
