Rollei has announced a couple of new film and photo scanners. Featuring 9-megapixel area-array sensors, both models are extremely fast in use, requiring only one second to scan a negative slide into a digital picture.

Additional specs include an HDMI out port, which allows users to view their freshly digitized images on an HDTV. The Rollei PDF-S 300 Pro enables users to scan prints of up to 10x15cm, and comes with a dust- and scratch removal function. Too bad, this model lacks of HDMI connectivity.

Here comes the camera that will not only tough to be carried about as you please, but also make you look tough carrying it around. Rollei had a showcase at IFA in Berlin, introducing their latest X-8 Rugged Digital Camera – with Chuck Norris photo stamped on its frontal casing. I suggest Rollei truly embraced the idea of “Picture speaks a thousand words” – We can assure users that Chuck Norris on the camera was in no way trying to bluff you about the camera toughness. X-8 features resistance to moisture, dirt and cold, waterproof to 10m, and able to withstand 1m drop. It also supports up to 1600 of ISO, 8 megapixels, and 3x optical zoom. The Rollei’s “Chuck Norris” X-8 Sport will be available sometimes in October for an undisclosed price. We believe the “clean-cut” version will also be available. We’ll keep you posted.
