There is just something classic and beautiful about the retro-inspired Fuji X100. And it’s even better when you can grab this fantastic camera for an impressive $300 off the regular price.

Remember, the Fujifilm X100 comes as a limited edition kit with each package coming with a special message card indicating that you have one of only 10,000 units produced. The kit itself includes the 12.3MP APC-C CMOS EXR Fujifilm X100 digital camera itself, as well as a genuine leather case, a lens hood, an adapter ring and a protective filter. This is not an interchangeable lens camera, so you are stuck with the fixed 23mm Fujinon lens with a widest aperture of F/2.0. The built-in ND filter can be turned on or off, giving you an equivalent f-stop reduction of three.

In addition to the retro-inspired styling, one of the other unique features is the hybrid viewfinder. This gives you a “bright frame” optical viewfinder, which would be closer to the classic cameras of old (and current DSLRs), but there’s also the electronic viewfinder system. And yes, it can shoot 720p HD movies too.

Pick up the Fujifilm X100 for $1,399.95 on Amazon.com, including free super saver shipping.

Are you in the market for a compact interchangeable lens camera? You’re in luck, because the hot Samsung NX1000 has just hit the shelves and it’s actually priced quite reasonably for what you get. Not surprisingly, this camera is compatible with the full family of Samsung NX lenses, giving a fair bit of versatility.

Behind that is the 20.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor, capable of full 1080p HD stereo movie recording. There’s also a 3.0-inch VGA (921k dot) LCD on the back and Samsung’s Smart Auto 2.0 shooting functionality. The ISO range goes up to 12800 with shutter speeds up to 1/4000 sec. You can also use the Wi-Fi along with the Remote Viewfinder app to use your Galaxy smartphone or tablet to take pics from up to 30 feet away. Smart Filters, Selective Color, and full manual control round out the package.

While the MSRP on the Samsung NX1000 has been set at $699.99, you can find it on Amazon for $649, including the 20-50mm kit lens.

When you’re trying to get that perfect shot, mother nature doesn’t always agree with you. There could be rain, dust, and all sorts of other camera-destroying elements. If you’re in the market for a mid-range DSLR that can handle rugged environments, the new Pentax K-30 is a compact, lightweight option.

The key selling point here is the weather resistant body, being able to withstand less than ideal weather, as well as dust and cold. “Every seam, every button, every hinge has been weather sealed for adventure-proof creative photography,” says Pentax Senior Manager of Sales and Marketing John Carlson. “Whether enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking in the Rocky Mountains or on vacation cruising along the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls, photographers can stop worry about weather conditions and start focusing on capturing the perfect shot.”

You get a 16MP APS-C sized CMOS sensor, 1080p full HD video recording at 30fps, 6fps burst rate, up to 1/6000s shutter, dual electronic dials, SAFOX IXi+ autofocus module, and an ISO range of 100 to 12800, which can be further expanded to ISO 25600 with a custom function. The optical viewfinder offers 100% field of view and you get Advanced Live View too. Power can come by way of the included lithium-ion battery or with four AA batteries via the optional D-BH109 adapter.

Expect the Pentax K-30 to sell for $849.99 (body only) and $899.95 (including DA L 18-55mm lens) this July.

Sony’s NEX–C3 camera has a 16.2 MP APS-C sized sensor, shoots 720 HD video, and weighs just 225 grams making it the smallest and lightest interchangeable lens camera in the world.

Amateur photographers will find the NEX-C3 very easy to use thanks in part to its “aperture,” “exposure value” and “white balance” being renamed by simple laymen terms, such as “background defocus,” “brightness” and “color”.

Users can add extra impact to stills or video images during shooting via the Picture Effect setting. The options available are: Partial Color, Retro Photo, Toy Camera, Pop Color etc. One interesting option is Soft Skin which lets users remove blemishes and wrinkles for a perfect skin appearance.

Battery life has been improved and users can now take up to 400 still photos with one battery charge. The camera is available in two colors (black and silver) and should hit the stores this August.
