HP Introduces Five Low-End Point-And-Shoot Cameras, Three Camcorders
America's largest camera shown starts this week, and HP will be on-hand
in order to showcase their latest additions to the photography world.
In order to take on the likes of Canon and Nikon in the point and shoot
sector, HP has launched five new handheld cameras and three camcorders,
with the former being priced between $99 and $199.
These are obviously aimed at the lower-end, a market which is also pretty crowded in its own right. The "premium" HP CW450t and HP PW460t models feature a 2.7" and 3" (respectively) display, a newly designed touch-screen interface, 4x optical zoom and an SD/SDHC card slot. The CW450t is available in two colors – blue and merlot – and priced at $109, while the PW460t is available in pink and charcoal gray and priced at $149.
The V5061u and V5560u spruce up the company's camcorder line, both of which have 3" touch-panels, support for 1080p shooting and motion detection capabilities. The latter has a 5x optical zoom and a Li-Ion battery, while the former has a dual SD/SDHC card slot setup and the option to use AA batteries if the standard Li-Ion runs out. They'll be priced at $169 and $199, respectively.
