Leaked photo shows Huawei P9 with Leica dual-lens camera

It’s been known recently from both leaks and official sources that Huawei plans to use lens and camera technology from German manufacturer Leica. Rumour has it they’ll be using a dual-lens configuration. A recent image leak shows the Huawei P9 sporting said configuration. It shows the usual metal-clad look Huawei goes with but this time it has two camera lenses placed side by side on the top left corner of the device’s back portion. These are beside dual-tone LED flash, laser autofocus, and Leica’s name engraved at the right.

A bit below that you see the square-shaped fingerprint sensor, which is roughly in the same spot as it was in the Huawei-made Nexus 6P. Other leaked specs of this upcoming Huawei device include a 5.2-inch Full HD display, Kirin 950 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a 3,900mAh battery.

If you find yourself wanting for storage, you can use an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card. The M-P also comes equipped a mono integrated microphone and an optional stereo mic adapter as well as a sapphire glass-covered 3-inch TFT display. It comes in black and silver chrome and retails for US$7,950.

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.
