Panasonic releases 'Slimmest 20x Zoom Camera'

One of the trends we are going to see this year is increased zoom capacity in slimmer point and shoot camera bodies. This will challenge the traditional superzoom look and feel which has largely copied that of the DSLR but with a slightly thinner body.

Panasonic revealed a series of new cameras recently and one of the more interesting models is the Zs20 which they say is the slimmest 2x optical zoom model in the market today. Ar 1.1 inches deep, it is thinner than all of the 20x zoom cameras in its class.

Samsung Galaxy Note Coming to Rogers, Bell and TELUS in Feb

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Rogers, Bell and TELUS have all confirmed the coming of Samsung's 5.3-inch Galaxy Note which brings a new paradigm to today's mobile devices. Not only does its screen size fall between large smartphones and small tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Note also uses a precision tip capacitive stylus that can be used to sign digital documents.

One of the prominent revelations at CES 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Note challenges the norm and creates a special place for itself in the mobile arena. Users who can look beyond the large size will realize it has numerous applications in business, for field personnel and seems almost designed for journalists who prefere to jot down notes rather than thumb-type them plus there's that 8 megapixel camera capable of HD video as well and the LTE data speeds, well that is the killer feature for a device like this.

The Galaxy Note will likely support drawing and sketching applications and we'd love to see how it can manage photo editing apps as well. The Samsung Galaxy Note will start at $249.99 and up.
Stay tuned for a walkthrough and review featured here real soon.
