6.0 mega pixels, 3x optical zoom The Samsung S630 is a high resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-colour filtered 6.0 mega-pixel CCD. You can use Samsung S630 to produce even better images and take detailed photos for printing up to poster size. In addition, the Samsung S630 has a 3x optical and 5x digital zoom giving 15x total zoom when combined. The ASR technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and colour common to flash photography. With ASR the effects of camera shake are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well exposed, sharper pictures in low light without using a flash at all. It guarantees brighter and more natural pictures and at 50 sqids its a bit of a bargain

The sleek 8-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S51c includes wireless LAN connectivity for around £170. Wireless has been the future for a while now, and although we love the idea of being able to share images from our cameras to the Web so far the idea hasn’t really caught on.

The question is whether it’s the Wi-Fi or the cameras that have been the weak link in the wireless chain, and whether the S51c will be a wireless wonder.

Design

The curved aluminium form feels slinky, although unusually, the chunky part is on the left rather than forming a grip for the right hand. We’re not sold on lenses placed in the top left corner, as fingers can creep into shot. The S51c boasts a non-protruding right-angle optical 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens, with a slightly underwhelming 35mm equivalent of 38-114mm.

Functions are controlled with a rotary multi-selector — or scroll wheel — that is far and away our favourite thing about the Nikon compact line. We also like the enormous 76mm (3-inch) LCD monitor.

Features

Compact cameras with one unusual feature occasionally neglect other features. The S51c packs optical image stabilisation into its slim frame, along with face detection and a maximum sensitivity of ISO 1,600. You have the option to shoot in 16:9 widescreen, at 1,920×1,080-pixel and 3,200×1,800-pixel resolutions. We also like the fun stop-motion video option.

We’ve seen the camera / PMP mishmash before, and now that we’re witnessing yet another iteration, we still aren’t really feeling the concept. Nevertheless, those that are should certainly take a gander at Shenzhen Carav Electronics’ CMV9301, which features a three-inch 320 x 240 resolution display, support for a 1.8-inch hard drive, three- or five-megapixel camera, 4x digital zoom, integrated flash, SD expansion slot, AV in / out, line-in port, a built-in speaker and a trifecta of games for good measure. Additionally, this thing claims to play nice with MP3, WMA, PCM, WAV, AVI, MOV, MP4 and ASF file formats, and the rechargeable Li-ion should be good for around ten hours of music / four hours of video playback. As these things always go, there’s no word on how much a single one will cost, but feel free to phone ‘em up if you can shake off that voice pleading with you to not order “at least 200.”

Windows only: Did you get a webcam bundled with your last computer but don’t know what to do with it? Why not turn it into a motion-sensing security camera with freeware application Yawcam. All you need is a webcam to get started, but after spending a little time in the Yawcam settings you can set automatic FTP uploading, emailing, or just saving captured images to your hard drive. You can even set a schedule for when Yawcam is enabled to capture images so your security camera isn’t constantly snapping pics while you’re sitting in front of your computer. We’ve seen similar motion detecting software, but Yawcam looks like an excellent and simple alternative.
