Samsung made a announcement today about their new 7.2 megapixel CMOS sensor that, they claim, will offer the same quality as CCD sensors while using less power which will lead to longer battery life. Samsung claims that their new CMOS sensor will operate at a power level of less than 10 percent of a comparable CCD sensor, making it very suitable for use in cameraphones and small digital cameras

Recently, we have increasing number of digital camera manufacturers are moving over to CMOS sensors from the more conventional CCD chips as the technology continues to improve, but CMOS sensors are more prone to picking up electronic noise than CCDs

The new Fujifilm Finepix S3 Pro Upgrade will have more memory buffer (from 128MB to 256MB) which will make the camera able to shoot for longer with the same burst speed. The update is currently only available in Japan.

With the increased buffer memory, the FinePix S3 Pro will be able to shoot 8 RAW photographs in burst instead of 3 in the wide dynamic range mode. In the same mode, 16 consecutive JPEGs will be able to be taken – compared with the paltry 6 before. In the standard dynamic range mode, the increased buffer memory will increase shots from 7 to 17 in RAW format and 12 to 33 in JPEG format.

Doug Harman from Pocket-Lint reviewed the Nikon D50 and wrote:

“The D50 represents an ideal D-SLR for those first time D-SLR buyers on a more modest budget. Image quality, handling, responsiveness and key features strike an excellent balance, and while the D50 lacks some of the more advanced bits of the D70s, it is no slouch and so should be at the top of – or at the very least – near the very the top of your list if your in the market for such a camera. “
