British Vauxhall Cars Have New Camera That Scans Signs, Displays Current Speed Limit

Although various GPS units already have the ability to display the current speed limit (they’re pre-programmed in) of the road you’re on, this Vauxhall Motors invention seems even better. There’s a camera on-board that takes 30 snaps per second, then recognizing speed limit signs and translating that to a number to display on your dash.…

There’s apparently a new touchscreen handset from LG on the way, and early word is that it’s slated to be the Korean phone maker’s new flagship phone.

Nikon D700 DSLR Official: D3’s Big Sensor In a Smaller Body for $2999

It’s real. The mid-range DSLR you’ve been waiting for: Nikon’s D700 DSLR packs the D3‘s supernaturally low-noise 12.1-megapixel full-frame image sensor into a smaller, lighter body, for only $2999. https://gizmodo.com/nikon-d700-dslr-announced-july-1st-5018414 The only thing you really sacrifice is a smidge of burst speed (down to 5FPS, or 8 with the battery pack) and the 5:4 cropping…

Varioptic Liquid Lenses Debut in Webcams

We’re more than a little excited over the prospect of inexpensive liquid lenses, even if Varioptic’s first outing with the technology isn’t all that mind-blowing. The initial devices on the market will be the S1300 and S2000 AF SnakeCams (yeah, they’re pretty typical webcams featuring 1.3MP and 2MP resolutions). But starting at just $20 per…

Possible Nikon D700 DSLR Shots Leaked

Could these be actual shots of the upcoming Nikon D700 mid-range DSLR?

Motozine ZN5 Camera Phone Now Official

We’ve been talking about this cellphone for a while, but today Motorola and Kodak officially spilled the beans. As we thought, the ZN5’s a phone that’s as much camera as phone, with a 5-megapixel Kodak unit on its back.

Nikon D700 Mid-Range Full-Frame DSLR Leaked, Has D3’s Image Sensor and Autofocus

More on that rumored mid-range full-frame DSLR from Nikon, and this looks a lot realer, with some decently convincing promo materials for the D700.

Panasonic’s New HD Camcorders World’s First With 3-MOS Sensors

Back in January we showed the Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder, which has a 3-CCD sensor, but the HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100 announced today have a spanky new MOS system. This makes them the world’s first AVCHD camcorders with “3MOS,” which has double the light-receiving area of the CCD version, better for low-light shooting. The HS100 model records…

Sony’s Back-Illuminated CMOS Sensor Increases Sensitivity, Reduces Noise Dramatically

Sony has developed a new CMOS technology that may revolutionize consumer video camcorders and cameras: a 5-megapixel, 60 frames per second back-illuminated sensor. As you can see in this test image, the sensor nearly duplicates light sensitivity while reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. The idea is apparently simple, but it dramatically increases the quality of the…
