SMART SENSORThanks to a sensor-based system that reduces unwanted unsharpness from camera movement, no special anti-shake lenses are necessary with the Pentax K100D. The system works by adjusting the speed of sensor movement/oscillation in proportion to the amount of camera shake it detects. This affordable D-SLR is compatible with any Pentax lens. An entry-level version, the K110D, has all of the same features minus the shake-reduction system. List Price: $699 (K100D); $599 (K110D). Contact: Pentax, (800) 877-0155, www.pentaximaging.com.
GO WIDEPrint 16x9-format images from a small, compact printer that produces high-quality images quickly. The Panasonic KX-PX10 printer takes 65 seconds to print a postcard-sized image. It's touted as the first small-format printer capable of producing 16x9-format prints in addition to standard postcard-sized images; the printer weighs two pounds. Features include color-correction and noise-reduction technology, plus a faster print engine. List Price: $199. Contact: Panasonic, (800) 211-PANA, www.panasonic.com.
