By DPreview, on January 12th, 2012%

CES 2012: Fujifilm has confirmed in a discussion with dpreview, more details about its plans for the X-system.

Adobe offers CS6 upgrade for CS3 and CS4 users, and rebrands Carousel

By DPreview, on January 12th, 2012%

Adobe has announced a special offer allowing CS4 and CS3 users to upgrade to Creative Suite 6, when it is released. Adobe upset many CS4 and CS3 users when it announced that it was changing its upgrade policy so that only owners of the most recent versions would be entitled to discounted upgrade pricing. Although it has not formally gone back on this policy, the offer will provide an upgrade route for CS3 and CS4 users until December 31st 2012. Users of individual packages do not appear to benefit from the offer. Meanwhile, the company has also renamed its ‘Carousel’ cloud-based image processing, sharing and hosting service ‘Revel.’ The company says it ‘plans to offer additional photography solutions on the platform in the future, so the new branding more broadly encompasses these offerings.’ . . . → Read More: Adobe offers CS6 upgrade for CS3 and CS4 users, and rebrands Carousel

By DPreview, on January 11th, 2012%

CES 2012: Panasonic is showing mockups of two large-aperture zoom lenses for Micro Four Thirds. The Panasonic stand plays host to mockups of a 12-35mm F2.8 and a 35-100mm F2.8 lens, prominently badged ‘Concept’ lenses. Next to the models is a lens roadmap confirming the company’s intentions to build a 12-35mm (24-70mm equiv) and 35-100 (70-200mm equiv) ‘X’ grade zooms, but with a note that the maximum apertures are ‘to be determined.’ The diagram appears to suggest both lenses will arrive later in 2012. . . . → Read More: Panasonic shows 12-35mm F2.8 and 35-100mm F2.8 concept lenses for Micro Four Thirds

Casio updates range with EX-ZS150, EX-ZS20, EX-ZS12 and EX-ZS6

By DPreview, on January 11th, 2012%

CES 2012: Casio has released the Exilim EX-ZS150, EX-ZS20, EX-ZS12 and EX-ZS6, refreshing its compact camera range. The four cameras are all based around 16MP CCD sensors and feature the company’s ‘easy Mode’ interface, which offers which offers to guide the user to the optimal setters, as well as providing the ability to simply point-and-shoot. The ZS150 includes a stabilized 12.5x, 24-300mm equiv lens, similar to the one in the flagship ZR200 but the CCD chip means it can’t offer that camera’s high-speed features. The ZS20 has a 6x unstabilized zoom, starting at 26mm equiv, and including the company’s Premium Auto mode. The ZS12 and ZS6 lose both these features, instead including 5x, 26mm equiv zooms. . . . → Read More: Casio updates range with EX-ZS150, EX-ZS20, EX-ZS12 and EX-ZS6

Consumer Confidence in Technology Reaches Second Highest Level Ever

By Steve Digicam, on December 30th, 2011%

Consumer confidence is a somewhat abstract concept, but it’s essentially just what it sounds like. If consumers are confident, it means they’re willing to spend more instead of squireling their money away in case of disaster. If they’re not, they don’t spend. The technology industry, which includes the digital camera market, got some great news in the most recent consumer confidence report. Levels are at 93.6, which is the second highest they’ve ever been. That means more cameras are being sold, companies have more money to work with and that we’ll hopefully see some interesting things come down the line because of it. “Technology continues to be the leading category for shoppers during the holiday season and this year was no exception,” says Consumer Electronic Agency chief economist Shawn DuBravac. “Looking ahead to 2012, consumer tech remains well positioned compared to all other durable goods categories.” . . . → Read More: Consumer Confidence in Technology Reaches Second Highest Level Ever
