Sigma will take advantage of the PMA ‘08 event by announcing the DP1 that will be out sometime this spring. The DP1 will offer a whopping 14-megapixel count, thanks to its Foveon sensor. It will also boast a new three-layer silicon technoloy that captures an RGB image in one pixel for individual portions instead of the normal three, resulting in a major lift to resolution and color response. Shutterbugs will be able to shooting in both X3F-formatted RAW and JPEG thanks to a nine-point autofocus system. It uses SD and SDHC as the storage medium of choice. Unfortunately, no pricing details has been released as at press time.

[PMA 2008] I guess you can tell from the above image that GE has failed to produce an image of its X3 digital camera, so one will just have to learn how to make do. This model stresses a whole lot on zoom, boasting a whopping 12x optical zoom and a 4.5x digital zoom for those who love capturing subjects from far away without having to make the effort to get closer. Judging by the X1 of yore, chances are the X3 ought to come in a somewhat familiar form factor. It eats up a quartet of AA batteries as this can be quite the performance camera for the budget conscious. Specifications are located below.

• 10.7 megapixels
• 12x optical zoom
• 2.7″ LCD display


• Electronic Image Stabilizer


• Smile Detection


• Face Detection


• Up to ISO 3200


• Red-Eye Removal


• Blink Detection

[PMA 2008] GE has launched its A735 digital camera that shares basically the same genetic make up with the A835, although it has a lower megapixel count that stands at seven. I like the use of AA batteries inside digital cameras, although they tend to make the flash recharge time rather slow. Sounds as though the A735 is a good candidate for beginners and those who want a hassle free photography experience.

• 7 megapixels
• 3x optical zoom
• 2.5″ LCD display


• Electronic Image Stabilizer


• Smile Detection


• Face Detection


• Up to ISO 1600


• Red-Eye Removal


• Blink Detection
