Kodak EasyShare V1233
Kodak EasyShare V1233 : Right before the IFA 2007 event in Germany begins another Kodak camera is leaked via Kodak’s camera website. Although the camera is not confirmed by Kodak we may assume that the Kodak EasyShare V1233 will be introduced very soon. The Kodak V1233 camera offer 12 Megapixels resolution and is capable of shooting pictures at up to 4,000×3000 pixels. And like the new EasyShare Z812 IS the Kodak EasyShare V1233 is able to shoot video at up to 720p resolution; high definition is the key feature. The back of the Kodak EasyShare 1233 digital compact camera shows a large LCD high resolution indoor/outdoor 2.5-inch color display offering good brightness and clarity, even in direct sunlight.
The new Kodak V1233 camera incorporates the Kodak Color Science Chip which has to guarantee bright and live like colours. The Schneider-Kreuznach optical zoom lens (35 mm equivalent: 37–111 mm) lets the photographer close to the subject and the 5x digital zoom enlarges the picture even more. Even face detection is on board of the Kodak EasyShare V1233 digital compact camera. This feature detects faces and automatically adjusts camera settings like focus and metering.
Kodak EasyShare V1233 compact camera – Sensitivity and Stabilization
It seems that the new Kodak EasyShare V1233 lacks optical stabilization and is only offering digital image stabilization. Additionally the Kodak EasyShare V1233 provides also high ISO settings up to 3200 ISO. Officially to be able to capture details in low light conditions, but marketing will be the main reason to integrate such a non-usable feature into a compact camera. Furthermore the Kodak V1233 camera features multiple scene modes such as Children, Back light, Portrait, Snow, Beach and Panorama stich. This last feature is very nice to use in practice, however a 37mm �wide’ angle lens is not that interesting for panorama landscape photography.
Kodak EasyShare V1233 – Flash memory and Software
The images captures can be found in the 32MB internal memory or in an external Secure Digital or MMC flash memory card. The Kodak V1233 camera support SDHC (SD High Capacity) cards so you will be able to use 4GB storage capacities. The Kodak EasyShare V1233 is part of the Kodak EasyShare System, so sharing your pictures is amazingly simple. Kodak EasyShare Digital Photography System enhances the digital photography experience for consumers worldwide. The EasyShare System consists of digital cameras, picture frames, snapshot printers, online services, software, inkjet and thermal photo papers, and accessories – making picture-taking, sharing and archiving effortless.

Both lenses will be available this November, no pricing yet.
Press Release:
Nikon launches two professional zoom lenses
Nikon UK is pleased to announce two zoom NIKKOR lenses designed to maximise the potential of the advanced new FX format D3 digital SLR camera launched today. Fully compatible with existing DX-format Nikon DSLRs as well, they share fast f/2.8 apertures across the zoom range. The ultra wide-angle AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED and the slimline AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED, are designed for the exacting optical demands of professional use.
“These new zoom NIKKORS offer photographers immense creative potential when combined with the new FX-format D3, but are equally useful for those using Nikon’s DX-format cameras too”, said Robert Cristina, Brand Manager, Nikon Professional Products Europe. “They are the first wide-angle lenses to incorporate Nikon’s unique Nano Crystal coat, that suppresses the ghost and flare that sometimes occurs with the reflective surfaces of digital sensors.”
AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
The ultra wide-angle/fast aperture combination of the AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens is a world first*, and is highly adaptable for the tight spaces busy professional photographers often find themselves working in. The excellent optical quality of this 14-24mm lens, combined with excellent levels of detail contributes to brilliant, sharp results.
AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
The completely new standard zoom AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED complements the NIKKOR range of professional lenses. Much slimmer than its predecessor, (the AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 28-70mm f/2.8) the new lens exhibits outstanding characteristics at wide settings where centre-to-peripheral resolution is a priority, making it ideal for landscape photography. At the 50-70mm setting, crisp details are displayed with excellent bokeh, making the lens highly suited for portraits.
Both lenses share Nikon’s unique Nano Crystal coat technology to minimize ghost and flare, with ED glass elements contributing to outstanding levels of resolution and contrast. Nikon’s precision Silent Wave Motor assures fast and quiet autofocus performance, with instant manual override possible. Both lenses are designed with high dust and moisture resistance, and include a rubber seal around the bayonet mount.
Specifications and Availability
- The AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED measures 98×131.5mm and weighs approximately 1,000g.
- The AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED measures 83×133mm and weighs approximately 900g.
- Each of the new lenses comes with a flower-shaped hood and a semi-soft case.
- The hood of the 14-24mm is integrated, the 24-70mm removable.
- Guide Price to be confirmed in September.
- Both lenses will be available in November 2007.

Leica Ultravid HD binoculars : At the British Birdwatching Fair, held at the end of August 2007 at Rutland Water, Leica Camera AG of Germany will be exhibiting a new generation of Leica Ultravid binoculars. The optical performance of the new Leica Ultravid HD high-end binoculars is significantly increased in comparison to previous models. This increased performance is a result of the redesign of the optical system towards increased definition (hence the name HD for High Definition) which is implemented in the new Leica Ultravid models with lens diameter from 32 mm in the Leica Ultravid 8×32 HD through to the Leica Ultravid12 x 50 HD. The new Leica Ultravid HD models will be available from Leica retailers from November 2007.
| Leica Ultravid HD binocular – AquaDura coating For the first time special types of fluorite glass is used in certain lens elements in every model; this ensures a sharp, brilliant picture, with no color fringing, and with excellent contrast right to the edge of the image. New too is the Leica AquaDura coating technology used on the external glass surfaces of Leica Ultravid HD binoculars, which allows water droplets on the lenses simply to drip cleanly away, ensuring improved vision even when it is raining. The binoculars can be used to the best effect even when the weather is bad, or in very humid conditions. Moreover, the special coating means that lenses can be cleaned much more easily and quickly. The Leica Ultravid 8×20 BR/BL compact binoculars and Leica Ultravid 10×25 BR/BL binoculars will still be supplied in the proven version.
