Engadget:

1> many cameras still use USB 1.1, even high end ones.

2> built in MP3 player is an unusual, and nice, feature.

While it's curious why they don't use USB 2, as long as it has removable memory card capability and takes a nice picture and the price is right, this may not be a bad little camera. I don't think I've ever plugged my camera in via USB. I always remove the memory card and use a card reader anyway.]]>Jul 24th 2007 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/Jul 24th 2007 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/Jul 24th 2007 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/Jul 24th 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/
This was garbage.

Just because something is a rebrand, and not a luxim/leica, sony, olympus, canon, or whatever brand happens to float your collective boats, doesn't mean it's not worth reviewing. My DSC-W80 doesn't have a 3 inch screen, and while I'm not a fan of those fixed style lenses, I'm sure someone is. If it's a bargain price for a decent camera, why not push it as such?

So uh, are there any vacancies for new writers? ]]>Jul 24th 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/24/praktica-releases-two-new-boringcams-the-dpix-740z-and-the-luxm/

"Those of us that have wild sexual fantasies about low-cost, high-value digital cameras may want to empty out the penny jar: German company Praktica announced two new awesome, avant garde models today, which means engineers - I mean, camera artists! - at Rollei and other arthouse camera makers are hard at work developing their own masterpieces that will surely find their way into everyone's Christmas stocking this year! Both new cams have astounding 7.2 megapixel sensors with 3X optical zooms and face recognition, but the metal-bodied luxmedia 7403 (pictured) also features a mind-boggling 3.0-inch screen, an unfathomable 32MB of memory, and an never-before-heard-of "MP3" player, while DPix 740Z sets a new standard for stylized simplicity, with a sturdy plastic body, massive 2.4-inch LCD, a bone-crushing 16MB of internal memory, and state-of-the-art USB 1.1. No word on pricing or availability, but trust us -- all of the comments assure us this will cost mere pennies, and will be more available than water...or air!"

There...everyone happy now?]]>Jul 24th 2007 2:01PM
