We had a hunch that Pentax was readying a 645 Digital , and sure enough, the company has come clean with that very camera today. The May-bound 40 megapixel 645D is a medium format beast, but unlike similar options from Hasselblad , this one won't actually destroy your hopes of sending four generations of offspring to college. Boasting a 44mm x 33mm sensor, a 3-inch rear LCD and a virtually...
This is a thermos designed to look like Canon's 70-200mm L-series zoom lens . I just bought 400 of them and am gonna sell them on eBay as the real thing. Because, let's be honest, I'm a sheister. THE MOST HANDSOME ONE EVER. You hear that, Ponzi? FACE!

For me, one of the most liberating experiences in photography was shooting with a fully manual camera — including manual exposure. My 1956 Minolta Autocord takes no batteries and has no light meter, but these things have never been a nuisance to me. In fact, after the first few rolls I actually felt more drawn to this self-sufficient camera because I had to w...
Created by Mary Huang , TYPEFACE is a study of facial recognition and type design, creating a typeface that corresponds to each individual, like a typographic portrait . Somewhat similar to LAIKA project – interactive typeface, the challenge here were the limitations of geometric type system, being able to allow for a great amount of variation while maintaining a general level of quality in ...
Thought your decision was made when Nikon's P100 superzoom hit online stores yesterday? You might wanna give Olympus' offering a quick peek as well, as today the SP-800UZ has debuted on Amazon with a similar shipping schedule of three to five weeks. It brings quite the punchy résumé too, with its 30x optical zoom and $349 price both being that little bit better than Nikon's hardware. Addit...
Android: Google's already got Goggles for visual search, and Google Shopper's mobile site can run bar-code scans . Google Shopper, then, is a free app that combines some those features together in one package for those who love to find a deal. Unlike Goggles, which aims to provide a greater search by image functionality, Shopper only wants you to take pictures of "cover art"—books, C...
It seems that the megapixel race in the mobile arena has slowed ( temporarily , at least), but it's not like innovation has completely ground to a halt. OmniVision, which made waves around a month ago with its 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor, has just announced what may be the most significant introduction in the cameraphone space... ever . The 1/4-inch, 5 megapixel RAW sensor is said to offer up ...
It’s easy to forget that everyone isn’t on the same level of technical knowledge that I am at. It’s even easier to think that everyone is “caught up” to where we are on this blog as far as technology and software advances go. That’s one of the reason’s I love, and I mean L.O.V.E., getting emails from you guys/gals. It really helps remind me that I have to occasionally go back to the basics and ...
Photographing things that happen in a split secon—like a drop of water hitting a puddle—is difficult enough, but when the subject of the photo is in motion, like a flitting honey bee, it requires laser-triggered precision. The photo above was captured by a Belgian photographer that has fused his enthusiasm for photography and electronica wizardy into one hobby. His photography rig is a technologi...
One of the most useful features of the iPhone is it’s in-built camera. Despite the very limited pixel count and disputable optical quality, it still allows you to take snapshots whenever you please. But what if the photos don’t turn out exactly the way you want them to? Or maybe you want to give them just that little “extra” that makes them an eye catcher? Apple’s native camera and photo apps don’...
Aw, yeah. The pre-PMA part is officially on . Olympus is kicking out a foursome of new shooters this fine morning (or evening, for those camped out in the great state of Hawaii), so we'll just get right to it. The SP-800UZ megazoom (which we spotted a few days ago) boasts an almost mind-melting 30x optical zoomer, a 14 megapixel image sensor, dual image stabilization, AF tracking, 720p movie ...
