The Casio Exilim Hi-Zoom EX-V7 is a 7.1 megapixel camera with 7x optical zoom, 11.6 mb of internal memory, a 2.5 inch LCD screen, Casio’s Anti-Shake DSP technology, and H.264 video recording. PopPhoto reviewed the camera, and stated:

“As you can see, there are many things to like about the EX-V7, but like many cameras in this category, its Achilles heel is image quality. Like many manufacturers, Casio has chosen to up the mega-pixel count and consider the image degradation issues as an afterthought. Unfortunately, the EX-V7 is quite noisy. Even at low ISO speeds, I can enlarge the full resolution image to 200 percent and see what I can only describe as “Noise blobs” throughout the image. It’s pitiful, really. And at $400 a copy, this becomes a camera that’s on the expensive side of the pocket-sized market and because of that high price tag, better image quality should be a given. With all things outside of image quality considered, I’d give the Casio an easy “A.” I like the zoom ability while shooting video, the redundant anti-shake technology, the much improved zoom magnification and the innovative approach to the various scenes in the camera. But, if the image quality is thrown into that mix, the camera earns only an average “C.” And when you consider that for only $100 or so more you can get a DSLR with a lens, the Casio then starts to fade off into the forgotten.”

The FCC uncovered these glam shots of the Sony Ericsson K18 Cybershot Phone for us. The K18 has a 3.2 megapixel camera with zoom, autofocus, brightness control, and BestPic shooting mode (that captures 9 pictures in a row). It also supports Memory Stick Micro (M2), and has a USB cord for transferring data. We don’t yet know the release date, or the price of the K18, but as it just passed through the FCC, we can only think that it will arrive here soon.

Here’s a picture of Sprint’s PPC-6800, which is also known as the HTC Titan. The Titan uses Windows 5 AKU 3.3 Phone Edition, and a Qualcomm MSM7500 that can process data at 400 Mhz. Other features include 174 mb of flash memory, and 49 mb of RAM. Of course, this is a just a prototype, but I’m looking forward to the HTC Titan all the same!

Sanyo recently announced the Xacti S70 Digital Camera. The Xacti S70’s specifications include a 7 megapixel CCD sensor, 3x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom, a 2.5 inch LCD screen, and ISO up to 800 for images and 3200 for videos. Sanyo’s Xacti S70 can also capture 640×480 video at 30fps. There’s currently no word on pricing or release date.

Samsung’s L700 digital camera boasts an impressive array of features: 7 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, 5x digital zoom, a 2.3 inch LCD screen, ISO sensitivity up to 1600, 200 mb of internal memory, and a SD/SDHC card slot. The Samsung L700 also can record video in 640×480 at 30 fps. Trusted Reviews decided that:

“With the L700 Samsung has produced the very definition of an average 3x zoom digital compact camera. It has no real weak points apart from its poor low-light focusing and over-exposure in bright light, but little about it stands out either. It is well made, performs adequately, has all the features and options you really need and takes reasonably good pictures. It is also reasonably good value for money, but it lacks the style or innovation of some other recent Samsung models.” Trusted Reviews also gave it 5.0/10.0 rating overall.
