Fujifilm Pivi MP-300 Mini Printer: Present-Day Polaroid

The Fujifilm Pivi MP-300 is a palm-sized printer that cranks out playing-card-sized pictures in less than two minutes. Accepting its image data using PictBridge via a USB or infrared, it weighs just shy of a half-pound loaded with batteries and paper, making it kinda easy to carry around and ninja-print shots on the spot. It’s…

ClamperPod: When Crappy Gadgets Go…Crappier

Pogue Puts Megapixels to the Test, Sells Street Art

As you’re out taking advantage of all the Black Friday specials, the New York Times’ resident tech guru, David Pogue, reminds us of the megapixel myth: a high megapixel count doesn’t mean a better camera. Pogue had a 13-megapixel photo printed from a professional photo lab at 16×24-inches and then down-rezzed it to 8 and…

Correction: Pentax Solid Gold SLR is Actually From 1981

Nikon D40 DSLR Unboxing and Review: Cheap, Imperfect, Cute as a Button

The D40 is here, and we’ve got an unboxing, and some impressions. If you’ve forgotten, the D40 is Nikon’s latest budget DSLR, and it actually comes in cheaper than what we’d expect. I’d say it nestles in a great little niche, between SLRs and Big Point and Shoots. It’s as small as it is cheap.…
