Last week, Executive Editor David Carnoy posted a poll about how long you should be able to use a smartphone without really needing to upgrade.

That was mostly about how many years you should get before your mobile device's technology is woefully outdated. With digital cameras, though, I'm more concerned with how long the thing will actually function.

My first compact digital camera was a 2-megapixel Nikon Coolpix 950 that I bought in 1999 for a little more than $800. That camera is still fully functioning.

Canon’s IXUS 130 is an incredibly stylish snapper, with rounded contours and the strong, sturdy build that characterises the IXUS range. It weighs under 135g and measures just 18mm at its thickest point, as well as being only 55mm tall and 90mm long – it’s small enough to fit into any pocket with minimal fuss.

Aiding that pocketability are the IXUS 130’s sleek lines, with almost none of the buttons protruding from its body. The only exception to this is the zoom control, which does stick out by a couple of millimetres at most. The overall feel is satisfying enough that one might entirely overlook the quality of the photos produced by it – it’s a fashion item, that’s for sure.

Sony has officially released firmware updates for digital camera models Sony Alpha Nex-5 and Nex-3. The latest update adds 3D Sweep Panoroma Mode to both the models. As known already, these models had 2D Sweep Panoroma Mode before in this interchangeable lens digital camera.To take photos using 3D Panoroma Mode, the user has to simply press the shutter button and move the camera in the required direction. The Sony Nex-5 and Nex-3 shoots a series of frames which automatically sync together to form a Panoromic image.

But if you want to view the image in the actual 3 dimensional form, you need to connect the camera to a 3D TV. The firmware update also brought some more features and performance upgrades to the camera. But mostly they are less significant than this 3D Panoroma Mode. The Sony Nex-5 comes with 14.2 Mega Pixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor. Sony Nex-5 is capable of capturing HD Videos at 1080p and these 3D features are only going to spice up the camera’s appeal.

Canon IXUS 300 HS digital camera review : The Canon IXUS camera series is made up of quite a few generations. Canon frequently introduces its design  cameras that are especially aimed at the trendy amateur photographer.

Now and then a camera turns out to not only be designed stylishly, but also to be progressive in the technical sense. The past generations were each equipped with diverse innovative functions, but it did not make the difference with the competition any clearer. The Canon IXUS 300 HS is a 10 Megapixel camera with 3.8x optical zoom. So far, nothing much is revealed.

The good news: An update is rolling out the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 as we speak. The bad news: Nope, it's still stuck on Android 1.6. Here's what you are getting, though: This update focuses on improving the general performance, speed and responsiveness of Xperia X10. For example, there are speed improvements in messaging tasks and camera UI. In addition we add.

A free back up and restore application so you’ll never lose your settings and information. In selected markets, PlayNow™ with premium apps and games will also be added. Better than nothing, we guess. But as we talk more and more about devices starting to get Froyo, the wait for Eclair becomes that much harder to stomach.
