LA-EA2 Sony Lens Adapter Leaks with Mirror and Speed-Boosting AF Sensor

Chris Burns, Aug 13th 2011 Discuss [2]

What you're seeing here in this rather confusing set of images is a leaked product from Sony, a brand new lens adapter with a brand new twist - a mirror! This is the LA-EA2, a lens adapter that allows you to put Sony's Alpha SLR lenses onto all of its smaller NEX cameras. While this sort of situation generally just has a few jimmyrigged bits making the lens not quite as awesome fitted onto the camera that's not normally meant to have the lens, this new piece of equipment has a translucent mirror inside to collect a tiny bit of light from the image as it travels into the camera, this light then sent to a phase-detection autofocus sensor in the base.

Buy Your Mom A Digital Camera

Kyle Fitzgerald, May 26th 2011 Discuss [0]

I’ll admit it. I still have family members who walk around with disposable cameras. Yes, it’s embarrassing, and yes, it’s completely unnecessary. Don’t get me wrong, I love film photography. Medium and Large format cameras can produce some of the best images you’ve ever seen, and old Polaroid cameras are just plain fun. However, when you’re buying a disposable camera from Wal-Mart for the family’s weekend vacation, it’s time you check yourself, before you wreck your… film? Read The Full Story

Networked Police – Facial Matching Glasses

Kevin Fubar, Apr 15th 2011 Discuss [5]

Brazilian police have come up with a system to scan the faces of people in crowded areas, checking them against a central database to see if they're wanted bad-duded. I love this. Truly, these are like the grandpappy of the wearable systems from Snow Crash. It's a set of glasses with a camera fitted to them. The camera can grab 400 faces per second out of a crowd and send them all to a central database. If there's a match, a notifier pops up on a screen and lets the officer know that there is a wanted criminal afoot. Read The Full Story

Allow me to give you the skinny on everything you're going to need to know in order to go on with your life today. I mean it! There's some crazy important stuff going on today that may well, very possibly, perhaps, chance your whole life. Some of it is in the Android world, some of it is in the greater phone world, and some of it's basically gadgetastic right here on SlashGear. Let's begin with a bit of the ol' aliens from another planet rumor - that's right! Aliens are back in the news, and it's your favorite: Roswell, New Mexico. That's the least credible story we have for today. It's all uphill from here! Read The Full Story

Cisco Stops Flip Video Production

Chris Burns, Apr 12th 2011 Discuss [1]

RIP to Flip! This is so sad! I really liked this little video camera brand, but not it seems that Cisco has decided to close down shop and stop all production of all models. All those of you who've already got a camera from this line (yours truly included) will continue to receive support from the group until they've figured out what they're going to do with the brand. This may well mean that they plan on selling the camera line to another group or indeed just chopping it down to the ground. But they're so cute! Read The Full Story

PXL 2000 by Fisher-Price, Retro Camcorder

Kevin Fubar, Apr 8th 2011 Discuss [1]

The PXL 2000 is a retro Lo-Fi home video camera dropped on the world in 1988. It records a whopping 100 vertical lines at 15 frames per second. Technically, not terribly impressive, but this limitation gives the videos taken by the camera an airy, ghostly quality that I haven't seen before. There are a significant number of Youtube videos displaying the camera's stuff. I threw a couple of them up. It's definitely worth checking out. Read The Full Story

Canon Exec: Mirrorless is the reserve of DSLR failures

Chris Davies, Mar 18th 2011 Discuss [3]

A Canon exec has accused Micro Four Thirds and mirrorless camera manufacturers of entering the segments because their mainstream DSLR models were market failures. Canon's European head of consumer imaging, Rainer Fuehres, told Amateur Photographer that the company had no need to look to Micro Four Thirds or similar, because it had no issues selling either DSLRs or compact cameras.
