Olympus has announced the specs for the new SP-550 UZ, which boasts an incredible 18x optical zoom. The camera is a 7.1 megapixel shooter, with Dual Image Stabilization and the ability to take burst shots up to 15 frames per second. It's nice to see a camera company focusing on upgrading the quality of the features of their cameras, rather than just uping the megapixel count.

HasselBlad recently took the wraps off of another impressive DSLR camera, the H3D-31.

The camera retails for $24,999, so you better unfreeze that platinum card.

Here is a review of the Samsung NV3 Digital camera, which also doubles as a PMP for all your listening and watching needs.
