Panasonic Lumix GF1 gets ad reveal
Panasonic is slowly revealing their Lumix GF1, perhaps a bit ahead of schedule. On UK sites, the GF1 is showcased in an ad--even though it hasn't been officially launched just yet.
The camera is set to be available in white, black, silver and red and will have a Micro Four Thirds lens system. It also has a hot shoe rather than a viewfinder or built-in flash. It will capture 720p video and sport an LCD screen.
It is expected that a 45mm macro lens will come with it, though nothing is confirmed yet. This new ad seems to point to a release date coming soon, though we'll likely just have to wait and see.

Sony has outed three new DSLRs in its flagship Alpha range, the α850, α550 and α500, packing 24.6-, 14.2- and 12.3-megapixel sensors respectively. The α850 picks up much of the goodness from the Sony α900's table, including accessory compatibility, only at a much lower (comparatively-speaking) price, while the α550 and α500 differentiate themselves by packing new Memory Stick and SDHC card slots rather than Compact Flash.

Looking strikingly like the mysterious Android MID we've been seeing so much of lately, this is actually eviGroup's upcoming Wallet MID.

iPod touch 3G with camera spotted in wild [Video]
Images purporting to be of the upcoming third-generation iPod touch have been spotted in the world, believed to be retrieved by a recycler of Apple tech after the company threw a prototype away.

Samsung DualView TL220 and TL225 twin-LCD digicams get official
The dual-LCD ST500 and ST550 digital cameras spotted earlier today on Amazon UK have been confirmed for the US market, as the Samsung DualView TL220 and TL225. While the names may be different, the specifications are not: that means - like the Samsung CL65 - 12.2-megapixel resolution, paired with a 4.6x Schneider-Kreuznach optical zoom. What makes the TL225 and TL220 particularly special, however, are the two LCD displays: a large touchscreen on the back, for primary control, and a 1.5-inch front display for previewing self-portraits.
