CES 2007 was much like the CES' of its day: plenty of compact cameras were announced, Wi-Fi photo frames were all the rage and memory cards grew faster with higher capacities (Class 6 cards of 16GB were on the way!) Digital technologies also continued to converge, as evidenced by a camera Samsung announced that year: the i70. 

The i70 was Samsung's latest attempt to combine a camera and a portable media player it could play MP3s and videos, and included a text viewer. The... more

Looking for a moment of zen? We suggest spending a couple of minutes playing with Land Lines, a game that draws on Google's satellite images of Earth.

It's snowy season here in the Northern Hemisphere, so Fujifilm's release of its XP120 is well-timed. The XP120 has a 16.4MP BSI-CMOS sensor and a 28-140mm lens, and is waterproof to 20m/65ft, shockproof to 1.8m/5.7ft and freezeproof to -10C/+14F.
