7:50PM John Herrman | It’s not the the advent of 720p webcamming that we’re seeing here—it’s just a change that means that it won’t have to look like this, and will probably come built into mainstream notebooks. More »

10:25AM Nick Broughall | We saw this snapper a few weeks ago when it was first announced globally, and now the powers that be at Fujifilm have deemed us fit to see an Australian release.

Is HD Video the Next Must-Have Point ‘n’ Shoot Feature?
3:32AM Gizmodo US Edition | At PMA 2008, it seemed like everyone is adding HD video recording to their digital point ‘n’ shoot lineup: Panasonic’s TZ5 and FX35, Samsung’s NV24HD, a few Kodak EasyShare cameras and even one Canon PowerShot, the TX-1. Though Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm are still notably missing from the bandwagon, and Canon doesn’t seem to be pushing hard just yet, we predict that 720p video recording is the next big upsell, now that image stabilisation, face recognition and in-camera editing are nearly ubiquitous.
