As it happens, camera makers, driven by the competition, are bringing lots of features to their cameras. Here are 11 trends in digital cameras, as exemplified by 11 relatively new models (or soon-to-be-released ones). Retail prices are included, if available.High-definition videoA number of cameras, like the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS ($600), have been equipped with full-blown high-definition video capabilities — yet another reason to ditch your video camera. You can connect the SX1 IS directly to a high-definition monitor.“Intelligent” optionsAutomatic doesn’t just mean the camera adjusts settings for lighting. Camera makers keep trying to make automatic even smarter. With Nikon’s “scene auto selector” capabilities, available in the Coolpix S640 ($250) and other models, the camera analyzes a scene and makes adjustments depending on whether it’s a portrait, landscape or other type of shot.
