You gotta check this out bro, it’s a pair of sweet snow goggles with a camera built in. What a great way to record those gnarly shreds and crashes on the slopes. These come from Liquid Image, who released them before CES to try and stand out from the other announcements we’re expecting this coming week. → Read More
According to the Mercury News, cops in San Jose will soon be wearing head-mounted video cameras to record their interaction with civilians. The devices will sit above their ears and they will be activated whenever they speak with a citizen or suspect. The videos will then be uploaded to a central server. Presumably these things turn off when the officers are in the toilet.
Why is this happening? → Read More
A camera developed at the Nagoya Institute of Technology has been certified by Guinness World Records to sport the most lenses in the world. The device has no less than 158 lenses.

Joby, makers of the various Gorilla accessories — the GorillaPod, the GorillaTorch, GorillaMobile, etc — have just unveiled their first iPhone app: the Gorillacam. The free app provides a number of features to improve the usefulness of the iPhone camera, including a grid for rule-of-thirds shots, making the entire touchscreen a shutter button, photo sequences, and much more. → Read More
Babies, as we know, are dumb. They’ll look at any old thing. That’s why the Shutter Buddy is ingenious. You put this checkered hood over your camera, make a bunch of funny noises, and wham – instant smiley baby. Or instant crying baby. Or instant baby crawling off to the stairs to try to climb up the first two only to slip onto the floor and cry. Wow, right? If I weren’t so… → Read More
Bad news people, the Samsung TL225 camera that was released this August? Yeah, it’s pretty much a pile of crap. The front screen is off center, so your pictures look like everyone is staring off to the side, the touchscreen response (the only way to control the camera’s settings) is oddly disconcerting, the shutter lag is excessive, and low light sensitivity is non-existent. → Read More
So we know what a DSLR is, we know what a P&S is, but what exactly do we call those little portable camcorders? Is it an “Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens” camera? Well, cnet is asking just that question, and you can contribute to their poll if you’d like. Or hang out with us cool kids. → Read More
You and your hot friends now can figure out who to incorporate a Nikon camera with projector embedded inside it into your great, amazing lives. Thank you YouTube viral video by some marketing agency! → Read More
Sony seems to put a lot of emphasis on 3D, as far as the future direction of their TV and optical media divisions is concerned. The company has now shown a first picture of a powerful 3D camera for professional use [JP] that will be presented to the general public during next week’s CEATEC 2009 electronics exhibition in Japan. → Read More
Victor JVC seems to finally have realized how well the Flip sells over in North America. The company has now announced the Picsio GC-FM1 [JP], a mini camcorder recording video at 2.03MP and shooting pictures at 8MP. The Picsio offers 1080p output at a 4:3 ratio (1,440×1080, 30fps). Alternatively, you can go for a 720p, VGA or QVGA mode. → Read More
There’s a certain enthusiastic group of photographers out there that love to use really cheap and unpredictable cameras to create amazing pictures. The problem is, most of them use film, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days. → Read More
I’ve been excited about four-thirds cameras for a while now. They seem like a great idea – DSLR power in a point-and-shoot package. However, after the Olympus E-P1 I’m worried that manufacturers are treating these cameras as beta hardware and the real models won’t be stable for a few years. That said, I’m still interested in the format and I’ll be impressed once… → Read More
The Canon EOS 7D might still be a rumor, but the company has released a whole slew of new cameras without a DSLR in sight. There are a whopping six new cameras, in four product lines. While the digital ELPHs are great, us camera geeks are mostly intersted in the new G11 and S90. Interestingly Canon dropped the megapixal sensor down to 10.0MP for both of these cameras. → Read More
OK IT’S TIME FOR BRANDO TIME AGAIN! Good friend give you a clock! Don’t think it’s a pinhole camera with remote! Don’t! You will be a fool to think so! Don’t worry!
Need to make sure no one blackmails your car shop! Press the button and record video! It is a tire clock that looks like a tire and is a camera! 12FPS! $69. → Read More
We’re fairly certain that Apple is adding cameras to their iPod line but could they also be adding video and audio recording capabilities including, heaven forefend, VoIP?
Wired has some info that the new iPods will have built-in video and audio recording and should support Skype chat. → Read More
So it looks like this whole “iPod Touch with Camera” thing is coming to fruition. While the first case we saw was a little wonky, this makes more sense. Take a look at the back of your iPod touch – there’s a Wi-Fi antenna on the left side so the only place they could stuff a camera would be in the center, next to the antenna. I’m not sure what else is up in that spot, but the camera can’t take… → Read More
The Lomo LC-A camera, the ur-point-and-shoot that introduced Lomography to the world, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. If Lomography is your thing, look for a Lomo party near your. If you don’t see one, why not set one up? And don’t worry if you don’t actually have an LC-A camera! Just buy CameraBag for your trusty iPhone and pretend you have a Lomo with the Lolo filter! LOL! → Read More
So I’m at the Hotel on Rivington in Manhattan at the Olympus press conference and we’re getting the first hands on with the Olympus E-P1 in North America. Dana Wollman from Laptop was kind enough to be my hand model so these aren’t my hands on the Olympus, but I am shooting with one. I’ve included two test images shot at ISO 200 and ISO 6400 shot with the 14-42mm lens. Oh… → Read More
The QuikPod is an easy-to-use extension arm that is designed to let you take your own photo in front of sites you’re seeing. Rather than stick out your arm, and look like a goofball trying to encompass you standing in front of the majesty that is the Grand Canyon, or try to find some suitably flat surface on which to rest your camera, or God forbid ask a stranger to take your photo, you can attach… → Read More
It’s amazing that we haven’t heard anything about the Ritz Camera fire sales after Circuit City’s failed attempt. That’s probably ’cause there are actually deals to be had at the closing stores. The company announced a while ago that nearly 50% of the stores will be closing and the sales would start shortly afterward. I happened to walk by my local store in Flint, MI and discovered that there were… → Read More
I’ve been avoiding this moment for a month. Before I left for Europe, Kodak sent me their latest ultra-zoom camera, the Z980, and I’ve been carrying it for over 30 days and through five countries. I’ve taken about two hundred photographs and I’ve gotten to know this thing fairly well. My initial conclusion? I’m going to say this just to get it over with: I miss my… → Read More
The SprintCam is a pretty heavy-duty slo-mo camera. This version, v3, can take 1,000 frames per second, resulting in a look at physical actions in full HD that is unprecedented. How much does it cost? Lots and lots, but just look at that footage. → Read More

This successor to the popular Zi6 is a mini-camcorder with direct-to-YouTube capability along with an SD card slot for storage expansion. This new model is weatherproof but not submersible, something you’ll discover if you drop it into the toilet. → Read More
The Leica S2 AKA the crazy camera with a freaking 37.5-megapixel sensor that will cost under $20,000 is still on track for a Summer appearance. Says Leica product specialist Justin Stailey:
“A lot of it has to due with fluctuations in the Euro. All we can say is that it will be priced competitively in the medium format marketplace.” → Read More
M-ROCK is updating its camera bag lineup with pro level bags and a Batman Utility Belt-like modular system. → Read More
Here’s a new one. This crazy iPhone app is a software-based guide to the Canon 5D Mark II. The app is called Handi 5Dmk2 and describes all of the features of the camera along with shooting tips. PDNPulse notes that the instructions include the suggestion that 5D owners are wandering around with huge manuals in their hands instead of shooting. → Read More
A camera strap is just one of those things; you have to have the “right one” that works for you, or you’ll go crazy. I bought a new Nikon not too long ago, and during a trip to the San Francisco Zoo discovered that what was a minor irritation, turned into a major pain in the neck with extended wear (pun intended). By the end of the 2 hour walk-through the strap had rubbed my neck almost raw, and I… → Read More
