This Extra Lens Is Like a Megaphone For Your DSLR’s Pop-up Flash

It might occasionally come in handy as a bit of fill light for a shot, but your DSRL’s pop-up flash is a poor substitute for a dedicated flash perched atop your camera. It makes sense why it sucks; it’s designed to be small and compact enough to fold away. But with Rogue’s Safari Flash Booster…

Ricoh’s Weird 360 Camera Takes Mind-Bending Photos, But It’s Expensive

Ricoh’s new Theta is a genuinely new kind of consumer gadget. The wand-shaped device has two opposite facing images, which can capture fully-spherical, 360-degree images.

Sony QX100: A Fancy, Freaky Lens-Camera That Feeds Off Your Smartphone

Sony has been doing wonderful things with imaging in recent years, but despite redefining what we can expect from a compact point-and-shoot camera, the company has yet to make a definitive statement in the mobile imaging you do with your smartphone.

A 64:9 Ultra-Wide Camera That Captures an Entire Sporting Event At Once

When the NHK in Japan first developed the spec for what would eventually be officially known as HDTV, they opted for a 16:9 aspect ratio, instead of the more traditional 4:3, which better filled a human’s vision.
