Crave If you're more about zoom than megapixels, take a look at the µ 1000's equally new siblings, the µ 740 and µ 750. These cameras cut the sensor resolution to 7.1 megapixels while upping the zoom range to 5x, giving you the equivalent of a 36-180mm...

Crave We starting to wonder if the race to slap a bigger lens on the front will overtake the race to cram in more megapixels. But if the manufacturer-hyped megapixel race is slowing, and perhaps even topping out at around 10-12 megapixels, we anticipate...

Creative Live! Cam Optia: Mini, driverless webcam

Crave It has a so-called 'precision lens' that lets you capture video at a monstrous 0.3 megapixels. If you think that's crazy, hold on to your hoodie -- you can then enhance it with the accompanying software to a quite frankly mind-boggling 1.3 megapixels.

Sharp ultra-definition: Even higher definition

Crave It's only at the prototype phase at the moment, but it's a 64-inch screen with a resolution of about 4,000x2,000 pixels, which basically gives it a resolution of 8.8 megapixels. We feel it's important to point out that a 1080p television has a...

Photos: Hands-on with the Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd
