I’m obsessed with sling bags for digital SLR cameras lately. Mostly because I haven’t stumbled upon one that solves all the problems I have (with my camera gear I mean).

I want one that keeps me organized of course, but also one that allows me to comfortably carry …

Call them refreshes, call them line extensions, or simply call them new, Panasonic announced six snapshot cameras Tuesday with a handful of unique features that’ll hopefully have you running with your wallet out to buy one come April.

Joining the two, Lumix FS-series and LS-series cameras announced …

Panasonic’s no stranger to shockproof and waterproof devices, but the new Lumix DMC-TS1 is the first of its rugged cameras to feature AVCHD Lite, which is branding for 720p video. Aside from being a 12.1-megapixel pocket camera with a 28mm wide-angle lens with a 4.6x …

Coming to a store near you (or possibly far if you shop online) in April is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48, an ultracompact camera with a wide-angle 5x f2.8-5.9 25-125mm-equivalent lens. The 12.1-megapixel camera also has the company’s Mega O.I.S. optical image stabilization …

The new Lumix DMC-FX580 is a lot like the FX48 (that Panasonic also announced Tuesday). Both are 12.1-megapixel cameras with a wide-angle 5x f2.8-5.9 25-125mm-equivalent lens with optical image stabilization. Many other features are the same, too. Well, except for one big one: the FX580 …

For the reasonably low price of $249.95 this April, Panasonic will be offering up a 12.1-megapixel ultracompact camera with a 5x f3.3-5.9 29-145mm-equivalent lens, a large, 3.0-inch LCD that automatically adjusts to lighting conditions, and optical image stabilization.

Dubbed the Lumix DMC-FS25, it’…

At only 1.3-inches thick, it’s pretty great that Panasonic was able to pack in a 12x optical zoom to its new 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-ZS3 and DMC-ZS1 cameras. The lens is wide angle to boot at 25mm. But the bigger draw for some will be the …

Sanyo steered clear of the madness that was CES 2009 and instead opted to announce its Spring 2009 lineup of Xacti camcorders on Wednesday, January 21. Headed to stores in March are six new models (three horizontal and three vertical, pistol-grip siblings), all

If the announcement of the new FS-series cameras from Panasonic wasn’t enough for you, the company announced the Lumix DMC-LS85, too. If you have a penchant for digital cameras that run on AA batteries (and I know you people are out there), you’ll want to pay …

This here is the 10-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7. I know that not just because it says so on top of its skinny, 0.8-inch body, but because it’s the only one of the two newly announced FS-series cameras that comes in this love-it-or-hate-it green that seems to …
