Retro-camera addicts may have remembered mutterings of Superheadz’s Digital Harinezumi camera a few months back, the unusually-shaped Japanese shooter promising Super 8 style images and silent video. At the time, finding one outside of its native country was tougher than selling Nokia shares, but now arch-importers AudioCubes have stepped in with a $169.99 sticker price.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 2nd 2009 1 CommentDespite the clamoring for higher and higher resolution digital cameras, all it takes is one good idea and we’re willing to make do with far fewer pixels. Matty Martin’s PUNCH camera concept packs both a regular CMOS sensor and preview screen with an automatic hole-punch system: once you’ve snapped a shot, the camera rasterizes the image, scurries an array of different-sized pins into place, and – by “punching” it onto a piece of paper – makes a physical copy of the image.

Apple iPod nano 5G hands-on [Video]
By Vincent Nguyen on Wednesday, Sep 9th 2009 No CommentsApple’s iPod event has only just ended, but we’ve already had a chance to grapple with what was probably the highlight of the day: the new iPod nano 5G. Now packing a 2.2-inch LCD display and a video camera on the back – complete with microphone and speaker – the nano is now set to take on Flip’s camcorder. Don’t expect it to necessarily replace your digital camera, though; the nano 5G only shoots video, not still photos.

Apple camera iPods delayed by bad CMOS parts?
By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 8th 2009 No CommentsWe’re ramping up to run our usual liveblog of the Apple iPod event tomorrow in San Francisco – join us at 10am PST on Wednesday 9th at http://live.slashgear.com for all the news, as it’s announced – but could the company’s camera-toting iPods be conspicuous by their absence? According to Apple Insider, “technical difficulties” with the 3.2-megapixel camera modules believed to be integrated into the next-generation iPod touch, iPod nano and, potentially, iPod classic will see them delayed.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 1st 2009 No CommentsOnly yesterday we were picking through specifications of the Canon EOS 7D, crossing our fingers that the new DSLR would drop sooner rather than later. Now Canon have made their latest digital camera official, and as expected it’s an 18-megapixel monster complete with 8fps continuous shooting, the company’s latest APS-C CMOS sensor, and Full HD 1080p video capture at 24p, 25p or 30p.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Aug 28th 2009 No CommentsWhen Korean firm mintpass aren’t working on the mintpad MID, they’re busy at the design-board sketching out concept prototypes for your minimalist home. One of their most interesting designs – especially since they’ve talked about next-generation mintpads with larger displays – is the Mint Frame, a 7-inch touchscreen digital photo frame that not only displays pictures but, thanks to a 2-megapixel camera built into the back, takes them too.
Sony Alpha A850, A550 and A500 DSLRs arrive; still no video
By Chris Davies on Thursday, Aug 27th 2009 No CommentsSony has outed three new DSLRs in its flagship Alpha range, the α850, α550 and α500, packing 24.6-, 14.2- and 12.3-megapixel sensors respectively. The α850 picks up much of the goodness from the Sony α900’s table, including accessory compatibility, only at a much lower (comparatively-speaking) price, while the α550 and α500 differentiate themselves by packing new Memory Stick and SDHC card slots rather than Compact Flash.
