SLR Phone Camera?

SLRs are certainly attracting attention lately, but we got wind of an odd story that’s certainly a little out of the ordinary. Seems Alana Harford, Chief of Engineering at Canon, is talking about coming out with the very first digital SLR camera/phone called the Digital Rebel XCP. I’m not sure who in god’s name would…

Sony Up to Challenge in SLR Category

We told you last week about Konica Minolta giving up on camera-making and transferring assets of its SLR business to Sony, but we didn’t know how serious Sony was about getting into the SLR game until now. Looks like the company is pointing to the outfield, Kevin Costner style, announcing its aim to pick up…

Scanning Into Another Dimension

Perhaps you’ve heard of innovative artists picking up a Playskool kids’ camcorder or a photocopying machine and then taking advantage of the quirks and distortions of these murky media, resulting in surreal works of art. Here’s a hardware-hacking photog who’s somehow modified a flatbed scanner, turning it into a large-format digital camera. Michael Golembewski took…

Second Samsung SLR Announced

We told you about how Samsung is getting into the digital SLR game with its GX 1S, but it looks like the CE maker is now coming out with a second SLR product called the GX 1L. This one also has 6 megapixels but features a Schneider D-Xenon 18mm-55mm lens. Samsung GX 1S and GX…

Konica Minolta Takes Toys and Goes Home

Here’s further evidence that camera makers aren’t exactly flying high in the new digital age. Looks like the well-known camera maker Konica Minolta is announcing its withdrawal from the camera business on its own, having reached an agreement with Sony last year to jointly develop digital SLR cameras. So, by March 31 of this year,…

Poor Man’s Camera Tripod

This is a bottle cap tripod. The screw-on tripod adapter has been integrated onto the top of standard soda bottle caps. Sometimes even the smallest mini tripods can be a pain in the ass to carry around all day, but these could easily fit into any camera bag and then turn an 20oz or even…

Ben-Q Joins Siemens for New Cellphones

Ben-Q may is not best known for its cellphones. So in order to get more marketing love the company has partnered with German-based Siemens to become the second dual-name handset maker (think Sony-Ericsson). To launch the new brand, the company unveiled three phones, the EF81, the S68 and S88—all on the high-end side of the…

Samsung’s SLR Canon Competition

Samsung has gone one step further into the camera market today, announcing its very first 6-megapixel digital SLR, the GX-1S. This SLR hopes to compete with the Canon 350D and Nikon D50. Partnering up with Pentax on this project, the GX-1S is fairly light (16.2 oz.) and small and is basically a re-branded Pentax DS2.…

The Technological Tacky Tourist, the Digital Postcard

Don’t get me wrong—postcards can be cool, but the entire concept behind them just grinds my gears. For example, when my Aunt sends me a postcard from Florida, she probably interprets it as “Wish you were here,” while I interpret it as “Aren’t you jealous that I am in sunny Florida while you are stuck…

Hasselblad Shows Off Big Camera Guns

Hats off to Hassleblad. I know pro digital photographers need heavy duty equipment, but this seems over the top! The Swedish camera company has just announced a new camera based on the combination of the company’s new 39-megapixel CCD sensor and its Digital APO Correction (DAC) technology. That’s right, you read it right. 39 megapixels,…

New Pentax Cameras

Here’s another couple of cameras shown off at CES. Pentax had its compact Optio A10 with 8 megapixels and a 1.8-inch CCD with its own “shake reduction” technology. Whether any of these motion-stopping technologies work is still a mystery, but I guess it’s good to have it in there just in case. Though if your…

Nikon Nixes Film Camera Production

In a show of solidarity for the digital movement, Japanese camera maker Nikon has decided to pretty much cancel all film camera production—except for a very few professional products, like the F6 (and its manual interchangeable lenses). Believe it or not, with Nikon’s targeted approach to cameras, it is one of the only companies in…

JVC Mini DV Camcorders

Sure, there were all those cool HDD camcorders shown at CES this year, but sometimes you have to get back to basics. Like JVCs line of five MiniDV camcorders, all of them are a bit easier to use, with an Auto button that switches you between manual and automatic operation. All five also have a…

Canon Elura 100

Canon is saving its big guns for PMA, but it did show a few things at CES. Take this Elura 100 Mini DV camcorder, a really tiny, simple to maneuver camcorder with a widescreen high resolution feature with 2.7-inch widescreen display panel. It works with both Windows and Mac (thanks Canon) and includes easy-to-use Joystick,…

Hmmm, it seems Olympus is giving us all something to think about with a big announcement promised on January 26 for a product it’s calling “The Solution.” We’re not sure what this is, though it is coming out before the big PMA digital photography show in February. Olympus, maker of odd digital products, could be…

Norcent 8-Megapixel Monster

For an 8-megapixel camera, the Norcent DC-820 is certainly slim. Introduced at CES, the new camera also includes SD/MMC slots, PicBridge support, MPEG-4 video recording at 640 x 480, 3x optical zoom, a 2.4 inch LCD and 32MB of on-board memory, all for just $300. Seems a little cheap for that, but it’s certainly a…
