Chris Davies, Sep 8th 2010 Discuss [0]

Nikon's second camera of the day, the Nikon COOLPIX S8100, lacks the manual control flexibility of the P7000, but gives buyers a 12.1-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor and 10x optical zoom instead.

Periscope Camera Extends the Lens and Bends the Frame of Creativity

Evan Selleck, Aug 18th 2010 Discuss [4]

Let's face it. There's not a lot of differentiation between cameras. Amongst the point-and-shoots, and amidst the masses of DSLRs, they generally all look alike. There's nothing wrong with that, especially if you start looking at all the color options of those point-and-shoots, but we need something different! And, right on schedule, we've got a DSLR that's unique enough to grab our attention. Read The Full Story

Olympus FE-5050 & FE-4050 Unveiled, Arriving in Japan Later This Month

Evan Selleck, Aug 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

When it comes to point-and-shoot cameras, there doesn't seem to be much differentiation between cameras in the market. That being said, you're either a fan of them, or you're not. There's probably not that big of a middle-ground out there. Olympus is hoping to attract a few eyes from the former camp, with the introduction of two new point-and-shoots, which may not look like the fanciest cameras available (or soon to be available, to be more accurate), but at least they aren't in the dumps for features.

Delivered to Canon Rumors, which you can tell the main focus of that site, this is what the new Canon PowerShot G12 reportedly looks like now. Read The Full Story

Evan Selleck, Aug 13th 2010 Discuss [0]

Near the end of July, the features list for the upcoming Nikon D3100 DSLR supposedly leaked. And, truth be told, they were all pretty standard upgrades. Nothing all too mind boggling and what not. But, they were still upgrades. This time around, thanks to a German magazine that has apparently published new and improved specifications for the entry-level camera, we're wondering which rumor is more accurate.

RED’s Scarlet Camera Still Exists, Gets Shown Off

Evan Selleck, Aug 9th 2010 Discuss [2]

RED has high-end cameras in the works. That hasn't been a secret for more than a year now. And even if they had been on schedule at one point in time, we know that a bug that plagued not only the RED Scarlet camera, but also their EPIC version, made it so that the cameras were delayed not weeks, but months. There were even some folks out there claiming that the Scarlet camera was merely a pipe dream, and would never see the light of day. But, as soon as that bug got squashed, development picked back up, and now we get the Scarlet on film. Read The Full Story
