Here are our Top 5 favourite digital cameras that were shown at CES 2010:
1. Kodak Slice: Proof that form and function don’t necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. The Slice is a sleek looking camera, its minimalistic looks are topped-off with a 3.5″ touchscreen that replaces the need for those clicky-plastic things that we call “buttons”, as well as functioning as a playback/preview screen. Also, it proves to be a nice lifestyle device for sharing your pics/720p/30fps HD movies you take with the Slice on Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and of course the Kodak gallery. You can also tag the photos in-camera with the share button.
2. Sony HX5: Sony have used the HX5 to show off some neat little features. TransferJet is a new feature – the HX5 and TX7 are the first cameras ever to use it – that allows for wireless transfer to compatible devices. The GPS and Compass functions allow you to see a real-time update of your location on the screen, and it also allows you to check where you took the images and the direction where you were pointing. The back-illuminated Exmor R sensor is supposedly two times more sensitive than “regular” sensors also.
3. Samsung NX10: Not particularly ground-breaking or pretty, but we’re not exactly spoilt for choice. The fact that it’s a relatively small size camera with an APS-C sensor and interchangeable lenses is enough for it to be mentioned though. Mirrorless cameras with big sensors are all the rage right now so the NX10 is bound to appeal to a
4. Casio EX-FH100: Casio have put high-speed video recording in their new, sleek Exilim camera. The EX-FH100 is a pretty little thing but packs a 1,000fps video recording mode for taking slow motion movies.
5. Samsung CL80 / ST5500: Another camera that aims at those who love to post images of literally everything on Facebook. And with wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and DLNA) and a touch-screen QWERTY (à la iPhone / iPod Touch) keyboard for typing text into an email or selecting a contact in the camera’s address book. The massive 3.7″ screen should be sufficient even for those with the most extreme of Hyperopia. Also, the camera is produced using hydro-forming technology that allows them to make such a smooth, curvaceous shape.
