Who doesn't love baby pictures? It's fun and nostalgic to remember what you were like as a kid. But do you keep your baby pictures stored on your computer or are they squirreled away in a yellowing album in the basement of your parents house?
Barbie, at once a gender pioneer and enabler of countless anorexic, has found her newest role: human-machine hybrid.
As much as Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds lineup has our attention, the non-interchangeable gear out there is looking pretty good. Case in point: the brand new FZ150, which packs a 12MP sensor, lens-mounted controls, and 24x optical zoom for $500.
Has gravity collapse upon itself, distorting the entire temporal realm and melting the whole world into pudding? No, this guy just got an email on his phone—and some serious vibration—while he was trying to snap a pic.
Panasonic's newest Micro Four Thirds cam is a mostly-incremental boost over its predecessor, the G2. But improved specs on an already solid base is good news. The G3 brings a new sensor, faster shots, less noise, and a touch-heavy interface.
Instagram, the photo-centric social network, is pretty fun on its own. But did you know you can turn the photos you share on Instagram into tangible, real world objects?

Eudora Welty once said, "A good snapshot stops a moment from running away." It's also hard for the moment to run away if it's extremely tiny, as is the case with this iPod Nano turned diminutive digital photo gallery.
Samsung's got some minor camera updates ahead of CES—the WB700, a skinny point and shoot with a big lens that's a sequel to this camera, and the NX11, a successor to Samsung's Micro Four Thirds fighter, the mirrorless, lens-swappable NX10.
Well, it's inductive charging, not magic. But Canon's Cross Media dock looks like a particularly sweet implementation, letting you not only juice up to three cameras or camcorders sans wires, but suck down and share your pics and vids too.
Panoramic photography can be tricky. What's better? Canon's camera that shoots a single, 360° image. The tech uses a giant, 50 megapixel CMOS sensor and aspheric mirror to capture a sharp, sweeping photo, exceeding the human eye's measly 120° view.
