Why bother with a digital camera and frame, when you've got the Samsung SS 700. It basically "takes the two great things about digital photography and simplifies them - quickly snapping pictures and showing them off." No word yet on pricing and availability. Click here for first picture in gallery.

The camera does all the thinking for you. All you do is point and shoot. The screen is large and bright enough to act as a display and with a built-in kick stand, just set it on top of your side table for the family to enjoy

Sony gets creative with their latest Cybershot advertisement. It does seem a bit strange at first for everyone to be striking poses, but you'll see why at the end. Video after the break.

Thanks to this new Sony ad, though, I know the real problem - they wanted to be captured by a Cybershot. Time to go get one - I've always wanted to watch a janitor pretend to ram his head through a wall for my amusement

That's right, "using Sony's proprietary algorithm, this innovative intelligent auto shutter system [in the DSC-T200] responds actively to smiling faces." Video after the break. Click here for more pictures.

To start, just choose Smile Shutter from Scene Selection, then press the shutter fully on the subject to be taken; the camera automatically detects the smiling face and closes the shutter. To detect the different degrees of smiles by your subject, you can set Smile Level sensitivity to “high” (to detect a faint smile), “medium” (for a normal smile), or “low” (for a hearty laugh)

There are lots of digital cameras available, but how many break away from standard design? The examples you'll find in this feature gives us a glimpse at what might come in the world of camera design.

The fashion friendly 8.1-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-S880 has the feel of a traditional camera with the power of a digital. With a 3x optical zoom and a variety of shooting modes, this camera packs everything you need to take great photos. Its specially-designed 2.80-inch LCD is perfect for reviewing your shots. It hits stores next month, priced at $299.99.

Look out YouTube fanatics, your next digital camera has arrived. Casio's latest pair of Exilims don't deviate much from their predecessors, but a recent agreement with YouTube has enabled the duo to boast a "unique YouTube capture mode," as well as bundle in software "to provide ideal settings for recording, storing, and uploading video."

May the force be with your baby. This AT-AT Imperial Walker baby stroller was spotted at the Star Wars Celebration IV convention last week. Here's Geekologie's take:

And I think it's safe to say this qualifies as one of the greatest baby strollers ever. Second only to the one I built out of rusty nails. Stylish and safe!

If you're looking to give your cell phone a "Prison Break" makeover, then this handcuff strap should do the trick. Best of all, it comes preloaded with "clicking" sound effects.

The handcuffs actually lock with the included keys, so you can use them to attach your phone to your belt strap. Or do whatever else it is you'd want to do with tiny functional handcuffs. I guess you could, I dunno, arrest some fingers or something
