  Photo Marketing Association (PMA) convention. The Pentax K20D will allegedly replace and look a lot like the $US799 K10D (pictured above) that shipped over a year ago, and the K200D is due to replace the aging K100D. If the rumours are true, this is going to be good.

  Samsung will release three new compact digital cameras this autumn: the Samsung i80, i100 and S1060. The first comes with an all aluminum case with clean retro 70s, almost Bondesque looks, 8.1 megapixel sensor, 3x digital zoom, 3-inch LCD and integrated MP3 player. The i100 pushes the sensor to 10.2 and adds Dual Image Stabilisation system and,

• How Camera Lenses Are Made: In Honour of PMA 2008

  Published: January 24, 2008, 8:30 pm

  Tags: Cameras, Cameras, Digital Cameras, Howto, Lenses, Pma

  This video has made the rounds before, but given that it is PMA season, we figured you might want to take a look at this video illustrating how camera lenses are made. There aren't any sex scenes (thank God) or explosions, but it is definitely cool and educational. Two words that are not normally used in the same sentence. [YouTube]

• Samsung's i8 8.1-megapixel Point and Shoot Looks Slim, Rounded

  Published: January 24, 2008, 8:30 pm

  Tags: Cameras, Cameras, Digital Cameras, Pma, Samsung

  It's not as techno-focused (read: male) as their NV-Series, but the i8 point-and-shoot seems like smooth number that fits nicely into your pocket. Available in pink and blue and white, it's got a 8.1-megapixel sensor, 2.7-inch LCD, 195MB internal memory, SD card, facial recognition, 3x optical zoom and anti-shake. We just really like how it looks.

  We've got the US date and price on Samsung's GX-20 DSLR: $1400 in March. Why Samsung internationally staggered the official announcement by over a day given the whole world wide aspect of web is beyond us. [Photography Bay]

  PMA 2008 DSLR leaks abound today. In addition to the cluster bomb of point-and-shoots dropped on us earlier this week, a Dyxum forum member turns up supposed full frontals of a pair of yet-to-officially exist Sony DSLRs, the A300 (previously peaked with its twisty, turny LCD for live view) and A350 from SonyStyle. Tingling our spider sense a

  to show off her goodies at PMA. (Was that opening sexist? Yeah, it was. But imagine if we used a male metaphor. There would be vomit and tears). The big news? Nikon is releasing the new D60 DSLR. It's got the same body design as the existing D40 (pictured here), features 10.2MP, Nikon's 3D Color Matrix Metering II system, Active D-Lighting

  do the best job keeping its PMA camera lineup a secret before things got official, but it looks like it's finally gotten its act together and it's now loose pictures details on the whole lot of them. As expected, those include new entries in the company's LZ, FS and TZ-series as well as, perhaps most notably, the FX35 (that's the tiny one up

• Panasonic's DMC-FS3 busts free with a whimper

  out about Panasonic's PMA 2008 lineup of digital cameras. Panasonic's UK site has announced one of their new FS-series shooters, the DMC-FS3. No picture, unfortunately -- that's its DMC-FS2 little sis to the right. Nothing spectacular to report on this point and shoot: 8.1 megapixel CCD, 3x Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT optical zoom lens,

  Tags: Camcorders, Digital Cameras, Lumix, Panasonic, Pma, Pma 2008, Tz4, Tz5

  Panasonic, obviously eager to combine its skills in HD video and still photography, has built what might be a camcorder-killer: the $350 Lumix TZ5 9.1-megapixel camera with 10X optical zoom lens and 720p high-definition video recording. There are some features we've seen before from Pana: an optical image stabilizer, motion-sensitive ISO control

• Panasonic DMC-FX35, DMC-FS20, DMC-FS5, DMC-FS3: Midrange, Wide-ish Angles, Some 720p Capture [Digital Cameras]

  Tags: 720p, Digital Cameras, Dmc Fs20, Dmc Fs3, Dmc Fs5, Dmc Fx35, Panasonic, Pma 2008

  The FX and the mildly stylish FS series are Panasonic's midrange Lumix cameras. We'll start with the best: The FX35 is billed as being Panasonic's first ultrawide-angle camera with a 25mm focal length at its broadest for squeezing "twice as many friends into a single shot." The 10.1MP, 4x Leica zoom camera also does 720p video capture(!), and

• Panasonic Lumix LZ-8 and LZ-10 Budget Cams [Digital Cameras]

  Published: January 29, 2008, 12:00 pm

  Tags: Digital Cameras, Lumix, Lz 10, Lz 8, Panasonic, Pma 2008

  Panasonic's latest pair of Lumix LZ budget point-and-shoots dutifully follow Canon and Nikon's handful of entry-level cams on the feature front. The 10-megapixel LZ-10 matches up neatly with Nikon's P60 (though it bests it on MP count), while the cheaper LZ-8 (guess how many megapixels?) goes toe-to-toe with Canon's A590. Both Lumixes have 5x

All of the links go to blank pages for now, but at least we know what's coming: New FS-series, FX-35 (their first w/ a 25mm wide-angle lens), budget LZ line and a set of "superzoom" TZ cameras. Sounds exciting—can't wait 'til we see what's actually behind the links. [Panasonic via Engadget]
