- FUJIFILM XF 18mm (27mm equivalent) F2.0 lens - $599.95

- - camera that uses the venerable K-mount. What makes it unique is its one-of-a-kind design created by Marc Newson, whom I admit I'd never heard of until I saw the camera last month. The retro modern design and color scheme is certainly going to garner a lot of attention, sot he K-01 is not for photographers who don't want to be noticed.
- - Nikon has updated nearly their entire Coolpix lineup today, and I'm going to start with the two flagship models. While the Coolpix P310 and its fast F1.8 lens are no doubt interesting, the camera that really caught my eye is the P510 super zoom.

These new models are supposed to have less noise than their predecessors, which is good news. Here's more:

Believe it or not, camera buyers are still thinking that the more Megapixels a camera has, the better it must be. Sony certainly noticed this, as the TX200V is the first compact camera to feature an 18 Megapixel sensor (!). Here are its other features:
- - Next up we have two more conventional-looking Cyber-shots. Despite having "only" 16 Megapixel sensors, the WX50 and WX70 described below are still packed with features:
