Made from light magnesium alloy, the NEX-5N is just 23.3mm at the slimmest point and includes the same quick shutter lag as found on the new NEX-7. With a release time lag of just 0.02 seconds, it is the fastest in the world. An improved autofocus algorhythm doubles the readout speed from the image sensor and results in an AF that is significantly faster than the current NEX-5 model.
The Sony NEX-5N has a 10fps continuous shooting mode just like its bigger brother, comes with a touch-enabled 3in LCD screen and packs a upgraded BIONZ processor that can ramp the ISO up to 25,600.
Due for release later next month, we are yet to hear a confirmed pricetag for the new NEX-5N but we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, for those of you who have been interested in Sony’s NEX line up, here’s how the NEX-5N stacks up against its predecessor NEX-5 (courtesy of Dpreview):

Olympus launches three new PEN compact system cameras today. The Olympus PEN family features high image quality, fast speed, point-and-shoot, full HD video and capable of performing advance features like a DSLR camera.


Other features of the PEN cameras include a new 12.3-megapixel Live MOS Image Sensor, TruePic VI Image Processor, high ISO of 12,800, a reengineered autofocus system, full 1080i HD video with Dolby Digital sound recording.
The PEN E-P3 has a all-metal design body and claimed to be the world’s fastest autofocus. The portable size allows it easy to be carried around with a pleasure of the DSLR image quality and control. The PEN E-P3 also has a 614,000 pixel, high-resolution touchscreen at the back. On the other side, PEN E-PL3 has similar features but equipped with a tilting three-inch LCD.

Trying to find a great HD webcam, but don’t like to spend a lot of cash? The $39.95 Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 tries to provide a great deal of the same high-definition goodness as the LifeCam Studio ($99, 4 stars), but at less than half the price. For the basics, the HD-3000 works, though in case your laptop already have one built-in, this webcam isn’t a reasonable upgrade.
To start using it, you will need Windows 7, Vista, or XP (with Service Pack 2), and at least a dual-core Intel PC running at 1.6GHz or higher. 720p video requires a 3GHz dual-core Intel PC and 2GB of RAM. As with all of Microsoft webcams, the HD-3000 combines with Windows Live apps; the installer asks you to install Windows Live Messenger, Photo Gallery, and Movie Maker. For this review, I stuck with the included Microsoft LifeCam software. For video calling, the HD-3000 works with Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, and Skype, you will only getting VGA resolution (640-by-480-pixel) all over video calls, however.
The included LifeCam apps is easy to work with. A slide-out holder on the right has a bunch of live video effects and many of configurable settings. The 3D effects are cute, but ultimately worthless; in my exams, switching any of them on triggered a several-second lag between my action and the video response, despite my test system’s Intel Core i7 PC’s high-end AMD Radeon HD 5870 video card. The Configuration settings page is very useful: Here you can easily adjust brightness, photo as well as camcorder resolution, microphone volume, image flicker, and digital zoom adjustments (such as most webcams, there’s no optical zoom). There are application pan and tilt controls, but because there are no actual motors on the HD-3000, the settings only work if you have already zoomed in digitally.You will be able to record 16:9 widescreen video in 720p for up to 30 frames per second and also share it via Messenger, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Regarding audio, the Lifecam provides a built-in, uni-directional noise-canceling microphone. An examination video clip recording confirmed that the noise suppression fails to work properly; an office fan was heard clearly on the background during the whole recording. And also, the audio was a bit distorted at the default configurations, even though I do not speak out very loudly and kept about two feet away from the microphone. Switching down input obtain helped with the noise issues.

Few weeks before, Sony unveiled its 3D portable camcorder camera – Sony Bloggie 3D at CES and it was put up for pre-orders. Its now finally available for online purchase. This camera brings up 3D photography at the user level, so that normal consumers will now not have to purchase expensive high end 3D cameras and still enjoy decent quality 3D imaging.

Sony Bloggie 3D is capable of recording 3D videos and 3D image capture. It can shoot 3D videos at full HD 1080p and take 3D still shots at 5 megapixels. It also takes images even in low light density with its Exmor- CMOS sensor and can capture photos while you’re shooting a video at the same time. It also has a 2.4-inch glasses-free 3D screen so you can preview your clicked shots or videos instantly. It has internal storage of 8GB, thus allowing  you to record up to 4 hours of video.
