Disappointed that most entry-level solid-state drives are limited in capacity, speed or both? You’ll be happy with Samsung’s newly unveiled SSD 840 EVO, then. While it’s badged as a starter model, the 2.5-inch SATA drive carries up to 1TB of storage, or twice as much as the regular SSD 840. Thanks to both 10nm-class flash memory and a multi-core MEX memory controller, the EVO range is also faster than you’d expect from the category. Depending on the model, sequential write speeds have doubled or tripled versus the original series, peaking at 520MB/s; the flagship 1TB edition can read at a similarly blistering 540MB/s. Samsung doesn’t yet have US pricing for the SSD 840 EVO line, although it expects the drives to reach “major” markets worldwide by early August, with other regions coming later.

Panasonic has unveiled its latest digital camera, the super-long zoom LUMIX DMC-FZ70 featuring 60x optical zoom and a zoom microphone to match. With the zoom microphone, Panasonic aims to improve the audio quality that results from using the integrated mic, and comes alongside a host of other features. The Lumix is up for pre-order now, with its release date being unspecified.
The optical zoom measures in at 20mm to 1200mm, making it – in conjunction with a 20mm ultra wide angle lens – both the longest and widest zoom offering in its class. Says Panasonic, when this latest Lumix is at 20mm, the resulting images capture almost 140-percent of a wider angle than what you get with a 24mm lens offering. Tossing digital zoom into the mix, the maximum is boosted to the equivalent of 120x.
Video is another area where Panasonic seems to have focused for the DMC-FZ70, with it offering full 1920 x 1080 HD video recording in MP4 and AVCHD format options. Auto focus comes in the form of Power Optical Image Stabilizer with Active Mode, with there also being a 5 frames-per-second burst mode and 2 frames-per-second when using AF Tracking. And rounding that out is a 3 shot burst at 9 frames-per-second for particularly rapid moving objects.
The 16.1-megapixel sensor is a High Sensitivity MOS offering, which is said to reduce noise by between 10- and 15-percent, as well as boosting the image quality over previous Lumix models. All of this is powered by the Venus Engine, and works alongside several software features, among them being Retouch and Creative Controls
Users will have access to a 13 Creative Panorama effects, 15 Creative Control effects, and 15 Creative Retouch effects. Among these different effects are things like standard filters we’ve come to expect: Retro, Sepia, Dynamic Monochrome, Miniature Effect, Soft Focus, One Point Color, and more. Panasonic advises that the soft focus feature can’t be used with video, however.
Price at $399 USD.

The 600mm zooming capabilities of Panasonic’s DMC-FZ200 superzoom not quite up to your telephoto needs? The company’s added a new sibling to its Lumix lineup as a followup to the FZ60, dubbed the FZ70. Also known as the Lumix FZ72 in the UK, it’s packed with a 16.1MP sensor and a 20mm lens that’s capable of 60x zoom (1200mm), besting both the FZ200 and FZ60 (24x zoom). That said, you’re looking at a variable aperture of F2.8-5.9 and HD video recording that tops out at 60FPS for 1080i and 720p resolutions. A powered optical image stabilizer is onboard to help you keep things steady for stills and movies, while built-in Dolby-certified microphones capture stereo sound. The FZ70’s Venus image engine lets burst-mode lovers shoot at 9FPS, although you’ll be capped at three photos per use. As you’d expect, creative filters and an intelligent auto mode are included and some of the existing Lumix tele-converters, flashes and filters can hookup with this camera. There’s no word on price or retail availability just yet, but zoom past the break for more details in the meantime.
