AgfaPhoto Optima digital cameras

AgfaPhoto Optima digital cameras

AgfaPhoto has lined up a couple of digital cameras from the Optima line - the 1 and 102. Both models will come with a 12-megapixel sensor, 28 automatic modes, a beauty mode that will gloss over skin imperfections and a 1,920 x 1,080 image format that will allow snapped photos to match your 1080p display. What makes both models different from each other would be the optical zoom (3x vs 5x) and LCD display size, where one is 0.3' smaller than the 3' model. Depending on which model you're looking at, just make sure you have between �129 and �179 in your bank account if you want to bring either model back.

AgfaPhoto rolls out rugged, waterproof DV-600uw camera

AgfaPhoto rolls out rugged, waterproof DV-600uw camera

AgfaPhoto's new DV-600uw rugged camera may not be quite as stylish as Pentax's latest ruggedized offering, but it looks like it has it beat where it counts, with it able to handle submersion in water up to 33 feet deep (compared to the Pentax's 16 feet), and hold up to the usual drops, dust, and dirt for good measure. Unfortunately, things are a bit less impressive when it comes to the core camera specs, with this one packing just 6-megapixels, no optical zoom, and a plain old VGA movie mode instead of 720p -- not to mention just one choice of color. If that extra ruggedness makes the difference for you, however, you can pick this one up right now for $199.

AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT touch screen digital camera

AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT touch screen digital camera

Let's hope Agfa brings more to Photokina than the 1338sT, because otherwise it's going to be a pretty lonely booth. The 10 megapixel camera isn't quite the top of the line, even with the 3-inch touchscreen: smile detection, face tracking, and a low-res YouTube video mode aren't exactly huge selling points -- especially for �179 ($265). The non-touchscreen DC-1338i version has been available in the States for a while now, so the morbidly curious can expect to see this bad boy at a Walgreens sometime in the future.

AgfaPhoto's DV-5000Z SDHC camcorder shoots 720p

AgfaPhoto's DV-5000Z SDHC camcorder shoots 720p

Though not nearly as sexy (or well-spec'd, for that matter) as Sony's recently-unveiled HDR-TG1, AgfaPhoto's DV-5000Z still manages to hold its own on paper. Measuring in at 4.7- x 2.75-inches (12- x 7-centimeters) and weighing just over 7-ounces (200-grams), this HD camcorder features a 5-megapixel Micron CMOS sensor, 2.5-inch flip-out LCD, 3x optical zoom and an SD / SDHC slot to store everything on. As for shooting capabilities, it'll capture clips at 1,280 x 720 (using H.264 compression) and snag 16-bit stereo sound all the while. You'll also find USB connectivity, a rechargeable Li-ion and video out, natch. Unfortunately, there's no mention of this �249 ($393) device ever coming Stateside, but it'll be ready to roll in Russia later this month.
