Let’s hope Agfa brings more to Photokina than the 1338sT, because otherwise it’s going to be a pretty lonely booth. The 10 megapixel camera isn’t quite the top of the line, even with the 3-inch touchscreen: smile detection, face tracking, and a low-res YouTube video mode aren’t exactly huge selling points — especially for €179 ($265). The non-touchscreen DC-1338i version has been available in the States for a while now, so the morbidly curious can expect to see this bad boy at a Walgreens sometime in the future.

Though not nearly as sexy (or well-spec’d, for that matter) as Sony’s recently-unveiled HDR-TG1, AgfaPhoto’s DV-5000Z still manages to hold its own on paper. Measuring in at 4.7- x 2.75-inches (12- x 7-centimeters) and weighing just over 7-ounces (200-grams), this HD camcorder features a 5-megapixel Micron CMOS sensor, 2.5-inch flip-out LCD, 3x optical zoom and an SD / SDHC slot to store everything on. As for shooting capabilities, it’ll capture clips at 1,280 x 720 (using H.264 compression) and snag 16-bit stereo sound all the while. You’ll also find USB connectivity, a rechargeable Li-ion and video out, natch. Unfortunately, there’s no mention of this €249 ($393) device ever coming Stateside, but it’ll be ready to roll in Russia later this month.

Well we finally got our grubby mitts on the recently discovered Agfaphoto DV-5000G camera / camcorder / game player, and we’ve got pictures to prove it. Unfortunately for us, seeing the device in person didn’t change what we already know is true — you can’t play NES games on it, thus making ownership of the device a way less attractive offer. Of course, that’s our little niggle with the camera — you may think it’s just what the doctor ordered, and maybe these pictures will help you arrive at that decision.

Digital photo frames have been doing quite a bit more than simply displaying photos for some time now, but it looks like AgfaPhoto’s new WiFi-equipped, 8-inch AF5080W model could be among the most versatile yet, especially among those with a penchant for making their “improvements.” Leading the way in that respect is the frame’s Linux roots, along with the Freescale i.MX31 system-on-chip that device is built around. Of course, even if you’re not interested in the tweaking possibilities, you’ll still be able to get plenty done with the frame right out of the box, including playback of various video formats (including H.264 AVI), and playback of MP3 and WMA audio files — and photos, naturally. No word on a price, but you can apparently look for this one to hit Europe before it makes its way over here.
