The Night Spy NightVision Digital Video Camera or Camcorder was featured on The Gadget Show last night. This night vision camera takes stills and shoots video in standard light, but also in pitch blackness. It comes with a 32 meg SD card but this can be swapped for up to 2 gig which would give you 75 minutes of video and a bunch of still photos to boot. It has good range for a night vision camcorder according to the Gadget Show presenters.

John Bentley looked at cameras and camera gadgets on this week’s The Gadget Show as he went up against professional phtographer James Nader in a digital camera challenge.

For the action shot Jon used the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 which can shoot an astonishing 40 high resolution 7 megapixel images per second - perfect for action shots.

For the landscape shot the Gadget Show presenter tried the Fuji FinePix Real 3D W1. This is a true 3D digital camera, effectively the Fuji is 2 10 megapixel cameras working together. The lenses capture 2 simultaneous images, and the 3D camera then combines these images to produce a 3D camera or stereoscopic image in exactly the same way as human eyes do. The 2.8 inch screen on the Fuji 3D camera lets you view the pictures you take in full 3D.

Finally, for the water shot, Jon used the Panasonic Lumix FT1. The Panasonic looks like any normal digital camera, but it has a hidden trick up its sleeve. Thanks to the extra rubber sealing and a tough layer of glass over the lens of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1, this 12 megapixel digital camera is waterproof to a depth of 3 metres. The 4.6 times optical zoom incorporates a wide angle.

Suzi Perry tested the very best climbing gear gadgets on this week’s episode of The Gadget Show. Her first bit of gear was an Asics Inner Muscle Ashford sleeveless R-neck top. At around £25, this inner muscle top contains special panelling that is supposed to improve your posture and help your core stability whilst climbing. It also claims to get 5% more oxygen into your lungs.

Next up were the La Sportiva Speedster climbing shoes. These climbing shoes have extra sticky soles to help give you some grip whilst climbing. The rubber compund on the sole is only 3mm thick so you can feel the wall better than normal climbing shoes. It claims to give 30% more friction than its competitors.

The Arc’teryx S-240 was the climbing harness used by Suzi Perry. It is 244 grams and hardly feels like it’s there at all. Unlike traditional harnesses the Arcteryx spreads your weight over the whole structure and not just a thin band of mesh.
