Kameraflage technology is bound to be all the rage among the younger generation. Just imagine wearing what looks like an ordinary looking shirt to the naked eye, but upon developing photos taken with a digital camera, you actually realize that there is a youth anthem scribbled across the shirt. Now, where did that come from? Kameraflage technology makes it possible, enabling silicon chips inside of digital cameras to pick up a broader spectrum of light where the human eye fails, letting it capture stuff that the naked eye cannot see.

The inventors of Kameraflage, Connor Dickie and Sarah Logie, have specifically designed Kameraflage to function with camera phones, although regular digital cameras will still be able to pick up such images. There is some potential in terms of advertising, and should Kameraflage actually catch on with the masses, don’t be surprised to see people start to snap seemingly ordinary images at random just to see if there’s some additional information that they missed with their biological ocular endowments.

Gizmodo has some juicy pics of the new Fujifilm FinePix Z in a some amazing vivid colors. The Z10fd camera is slim, has a 2.5-inch LCD display, slideshow mode, face detection, red eye removal, IR beaming, blogging mode, 3X optical zoom, and also does video. However, it won’t help you clean your room, prepare dinner, or help you score a date with the hot guy on your top 6 on MySpace. Bummer! It’s target audience is supposed to be you tech-savvy Gen ‘Z-ers’ (which stands for ZOMBIFIED). Seriously, the list of features is too long, so I’ll post it after the jump. You can get one this September in Wave Blue, Wasabi Green, Hot Pink, Sunset Orange, and Midnight Black for around $200. What a steal.

GeekSugar spotted the uber-expensive Fendi B Patent Camera which costs a whopping $775. No, not $7.75 like it should, but almost eight benjis that could very well go towards other more attractive leather accessories. The camera bag, which probably has enough room to hold one tiny point-and-shoot, features an inside pocket (for what?), wide leather strap with Fendi logo, and is a zip top. I dont’ get it. It’s ugly, gold, and expensive. Guess that Fendi logo makes all the difference to some.

While everyone is fawning over the latest digital cameras available on the market, there are still some situations where a single-use camera comes in handy. Those times include moments where you know the party tonight will be nothing short of wild, and risking your newly purchased DSLR in such a situation would be folly. Kodak has unveiled an Ultra Compact Camera specifically for situations such as those, offering an average performer in a package that has some class when it comes to design.

The Kodak Ultra Compact Camera is equally at home outdoors and indoors, offering a stylish and reliable device for you to capture special moments where it is just not worth risking more expensive equipment. For just £9.99 a pop, you can be assured that it won’t cause a huge dent in your wallet. Each Kodak Ultra Compact Camera is equipped with a Kodak Ektanar lens and relies on Kodak’s 800-speed film to preserve your memories. Just remember to set aside some money for processing those photos as the cost can add up without you realizing it.

Digital cameras these days are packed with extras such as slideshows, slimming features, red eye reduction, face recognition, etc. And just when you thought they couldn’t pack anything else in them, they start adding ludicrous features that won’t take the picture unless everyone has their eyes open (blink shot), and everyone is all smiles (Smile shot). Amazingly, manufacturers are realizing that consumers know they don’t really need a 10-megapixel camera, so they’re stepping up their game by finally adding Wi-Fi. Sony’s newest Cybershot, the DSC-G1 digital camera, will be able to send photos to your computer and up to four other cameras enabled with DLNA technology simultaneously. The 6-megapixel beauty has 2GB of built-in memory that can store up to 7,500 VGA quality photos. On the back, it sports a huge 3.5-inch LCD just like the iPhone, and also includes other features such as image stabilization, image editors, and memory slot, and video capturing abilities. You can pre-order it now, that is if you’re willing to pay $600 for it. Personally, I’ll wait for other slimmer versions, and ones that will transmit photos via Wi-Fi to my blog or Flickr stream.

Samsung has released a sports version of their digital camera line that includes 3G connectivity.  The VLUU i70 Digicam has a 7.2 megapixel CCD, a 3" LCD and doubles as a media player with HSPDA included for 3G high speed connections.

This high speed connection will enable you to upload photos instantly to the Internet (with a service plan that is separately signed up for) and share them with friends and family almost as fast as you can take them.  There is also an option to text message on the camera and it seems full of extended features we haven’t seen on digital cameras just yet.

That’s right, the rumor is that Samsung will release this camera soon and you’ll get to see just how easy it is to share photos and keep in touch with others while at the same time, listening to your favorite music.  I’m not sure how well a digital camera with these options will sell in comparison to a cellphone but hey, it’s worth a peek!
