Ok, so maybe it’s not the same kind of plastic wrap you use in the kitchen, but the SP-AW303 from JVC does appear to use some kind of highly flexible plastic faceplate that not only keeps your MP3 player safe from splashes, but also allows you to safely push all of its buttons, even if your hands are wet. The SP-AW303 itself is just as waterproof, and features a set of 28mm stereo speakers that will run for about 6 1/2 hours with the included batteries. There’s even a remote that can supposedly be used to control your MP3 player, but I imagine the functionality depends on which player you’re actually using.

The JVC SP-AW303 Splash Proof Portable Speaker is available from AudioCubes.com in your choice of white, blue or pink for $79.99.

Waterproof MP3 speakers aren't new, but compared to some of the earlier offers, JVC's SP-AW303 speaker box is neat and has an unusual design feature: plastic wrap. Sure, it's not exactly Saran wrap, but the thin transparent membrane is designed to pin your MP3 player safely inside while letting you prod its buttons. The whole box is bathroom-proof, and has a couple of 28mm battery-powered speakers that're good for about six and a half hours of playing. There's also a remote, though what it controls on your MP3 player is a mystery (volume alone, I suspect). Out now in blue, white or pink for $80. [Audiocubes via OhGizmo]

It records video in 720p and is equipped with a 10-megapixel sensor, with a high sensitivity range going up to 6400 ISO and a light detection system with several levels.

PANASONIC Lumix DMC-TZ5 black

The DMC-TZ3 has an ultra-compact superzoom with a 10x and 28-200mm lens.

PANASONIC Lumix DMC-TZ5 features

  • 28mm wide-angle shooting plus powerful 10x optical zoom. At the 28mm wide-angle setting, you can fit more friends into the frame or capture more of a sweeping landscape. The 10x optical zoom brings those distant subjects up-close and personal for more detail. And when combined with the Extra Optical Zoom of 16.9x and the digital zoom of 4x, this camera is capable of a gigantic 67.5x total zoom — making even the most distant shots come to life.
  • Capture subjects without blur — despite shaky hands. MEGA Optical Image Stabilization and Motion Detection combine to capture your subjects clearly — despite hand or subject movement. Face Detection, Scene Detection and Light Detection work to produce the most natural, realistic pictures possible by sensing and adjusting to lighting, back-lighting or the use of flash. Intelligent Auto Technology (iA) can detect and correct 5 settings at once for easy, beautiful shots.
  • Huge 3″ LCD automatically adjusts to lighting conditions. The LCD’s brightness adjusts automatically in 11 steps as the light level changes. This makes it easy to view and share your images… day or night, indoors or outdoors.
  • Shoot in dim lighting without a flash. Sometimes lower light sets the mood and the use of a flash can alter that special lighting. In High-Sensitivity Mode, you can keep the flash off and capture the moment as it was meant to be.
  • Take up to 5 shots per second! Capture all of the action and facial expressions. You can pick which ones to keep and which to delete.
  • Take ultra-smooth HD video at 30 frames per second. When a still shot just won’t capture the moment…shoot a movie! At 30 fps, the DMC-TZ5 lets you capture lifelike HD video that can be viewed afterward on the built-in LCD screen, your TV via the included AV cable or even on your HDTV with a special HD cable (sold separately).
  • Pick the best settings for your situation. Whether you’re shooting night scenes, vast landscapes, portraits or flowers, simply choose the most appropriate options…and the DMC-TZ5 will adjust its setting for the best results. Offers over 25 scene positions and shooting modes!
  • Store plenty of pictures and video on 50MB of internal memory. Also accepts SD™, SDHC™ and MultiMediaCard™ memory cards (sold separately). Use memory cards to store as many images as you want — and keep them for posterity, or write over them with newer images!
  • Rechargeable li-ion battery and charger included. Also includes USB cable, AV cable, battery carrying case, strap and CD-ROM.

    • The price tag for PANASONIC Lumix DMC-TZ5 features is £ 189 and it is available at Pixmania.

"IMX060PQ" is designed to meet the increasing need for advanced image quality within mobile phone enabled cameras. Sony also announced the launch of "IMX046PQ", a type 1/3.2 CMOS image sensor "Exmor™" with 8.11 effective megapixel resolution, and "IMX045PQ", a type 1/4 "Exmor™" CMOS image sensor featuring 5.15 effective megapixel resolution.

    Furthermore, Sony will also commercialize "IU060F", a type 1/3.2 lens module with 12.25 effective megapixel resolution, and "IU046F", a type 1/3.2 lens module with 8.11 effective megapixels. Equipped with lens and auto focus functions, the two modules are the industry's smallest*1 and thinnest in their class, and with the launch of these products Sony will seek to enhance the enjoyment of taking high quality images using camera enabled mobile phones.

    In recent years, the convenience offered by cameras in mobile phones has driven an increase in their use, while demand for higher image quality has also continued to grow. In addition, as mobile phone designs have become more refined, and models become smaller and thinner, the need for further miniaturization in mobile phone camera technology has also increased. To meet these requirements, improvements in both image quality and sensor miniaturization must be achieved, but the more the shrinking process is continued, the more difficult it becomes to gather light into the sensor pixels, leading to the risk of image degradation resulting from reduced sensitivity and S/N levels.

    The newly developed CMOS image sensor "IMX060PQ" leverages Sony's proprietary formation technology to deliver the industry's smallest unit cell size*1 (1.4µm), and the industry's highest pixel count*1 (12.25 effective megapixel resolution). The implementation of a Cu process that achieves extremely fine interconnections, together with the sensor's unique pixel structure and improvements in condensing efficiency have realized high sensitivity levels and a high S/N ratio, despite the industry's smallest*11.4µm size unit cell. Furthermore, Sony's proprietary "Column-Parallel A/D Conversion technique" minimizes image quality degradation cased by noise that arises during analog processing, while also enabling higher pixel count and frame rates (10 frames/s for "IMX060PQ" and 15frames/s for "IMX046PQ").

    By enhancing its "Exmor™" range of CMOS image sensors, used in product lineups such as digital SLR cameras and high definition digital video cameras as well as mobile phones, Sony will aim to meet customer needs for advanced imaging performance comparable to dedicated compact digital still cameras in slimline, camera enabled mobile phones.

    The kids over at Photography Blog have finally got their hands on the Nikon Coolpix P6000 that became official back in August and have pronounced it "a mixed bag." It looks good on paper at least, with a 13.5-megapixel sensor, 28mm wide angle lens and built-in Ethernet (a first for a consumer grade camera). Unfortunately, the big ticket items like on-board GPS (for geo-tagging all those coolpix you'll be taking) and NRW file format support (the new "RAW" image format developed by Microsoft and Nikon) are said to be poorly implemented and all but unusable. Even the much-ballyhooed LAN connectivity is limited to something called MyPictureTown. Hit the read link to catch the reviewer holding forth on a number of other salient points, including the camera's DSLR-like hand-grip, optical viewfinder and external flash hotshoe.
