Sigma confirms pricing and availabilty for DP2x compact camera: $800, late-April

Sigma provided most of the details for its new DP2x compact camera when it announced it back in February, but it left out two key ones: pricing and availability. It’s now finally (mostly) come clean on both those counts, however, and announced that the high-end compact will run $800 and be available in “late April.” As for the camera itself, you’ll get a 14-megapixel FOVEON X3 sensor that’s said to be twelve times larger than those found in similarly-sized cameras, along with a fixed 24.2mm F2.8 lens, full manual controls with RAW image support, and an new AF algorithm that promises “high-speed” autofocus.

Ricoh unveils CX5 with hybrid AF, continues tradition of subtle improvements

The folks at Ricoh have dependable predictability down pat, and the CX5′s specs are, for the most part, nothing new. We’ve talked up the CX line of compact superzooms since the release of the CX1 almost two years ago, and we’ve watched the company fine-tune the already impressive camera with each new edition. Every incarnation of the CX series is just a tad better than the last: you might recall the CX4 didn’t make any big changes, either

Sony DSC-TX100V and the rest of the Cyber-shot posse hands-on

Sony announced a heap of new Cyber-shot cameras earlier this week, and after spying the entire line posing Miss America-style at Sony’s CES booth, we decided to go hands on. The DSC-TX100V’s OLED screen, which is a Cyber-shot first, was definitely impressive in terms of clarity, brightness and color reproduction — despite only viewing a fellow convention goer obstructing the booth
