Good things come in small packages. This is proven in the JVC GZ-X9000 or simply the Everio X. It’s a digital camera and camcorder crammed into a case small enough to fit in your shirt pocket. At 0.66 ounces, it’s light in weight but heavy in features. In camcorder mode, it shoots full HD video with 1000 lines of resolution. Fans of super slow-mo will be glad to know that the Everio can shoot 2.4 seconds of video in 24 seconds, or an equivalent of 10x slow-mo speed. JVC claims that the Everio can beat high-end DSLRs by shooting up to 15 frames per second at 9 megapixels. And another trick up the Everio’s sleeve is the ability to capture full HD video and still images simultaneously. You’ll just have to wait ’til July for the release of this hybrid beast. $1000.

This third eye may not be able to see into the future or anything unusual like that, but it will make your adventurous videos much easier to capture since it won’t require your hands to do so. Just be careful what your looking at while you use this thing, because it sees everything you see. $300.

Canon and Nikon, arguably the two frontrunners in the current DSLR market, both have white lenses but not white camera bodies. Pentax fills this void with the K2000 White. The camera has a 10.2 megapixel sensor that has a built-in Shake Reduction System to minimize the blur from camera shake. And the kit comes with two matching white-highlighted lenses, an 18-55 mm and a 55-200mm. Advanced Auto Picture camera feature helps you in capturing the best shot by selecting the proper mode for the occasion. Perfect for the ones who want to stand out among the sea of black cameras or for the wedding photographer who wants to blend in. $680.

Bridging the gap between point-and-shoot and pro cameras is the Kodak Z980. This super-zoom has a 26mm wide angle lens from Schneider-Kreuznach that goes up to 640mm (equivalent) or about 24x optical zoom with built-in image stabilization. Kodak’s Smart Capture feature acts like training wheels for you budding photographers by automatically adjusting the camera’s settings according to the scene you’re shooting. A hot shoe for the Kodak P20 external flash and another shutter button near the bottom of the unit lets your take portrait shots with ease. Plus, the Z980 also lets you capture high-quality videos. $400.
