Digital Foci expands 3 new models on Image-Moment, their line of digital photo frame, and has a schedule to display on CES 2008 coming next month. The new addition are 15-inch model with resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, 8-inch model with resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, and smallest model with a 5.7-inch screen and resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. All 3 models will come with a built-in 200MB of internal memory, USB 2.0 interafce and a memory card reader.
This digital photo frame can do two things at once, on one hand, it can act as a normal digital photo frame pulling its images from a user-supplied SD, xD, MMC, MemoryStick or MemoryStick Pro cards. But on the other, it has an iPod dock built into the back side and speakers as well that allow you to display your photos from your iPod as well as play music from it.
Check out this nifty little attachment from Loreo, you can get it for your Canon EOS and FD models, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax K mount, and Minolta MD and AF models and it allows you to take 3D photos. Basically it splits the image from each side and allows the camera to capture both, the only downside is, it slows the f-stop rating down to 11.
Reversed Macro is not exactly a secret in Macro photography, it’s the most cost effective way to get extreme close up with a non-macro lens. I’ve seen several tutorials on these subjects so I thought it would be nice to write something that’s much simpler involves no modification or sacrifice camera basic controls, the Stacked Macro with AF lenses.

So PMA is coming up really soon, and that’s the big photography show, but some companies are opting to announce their new products just prior to the show. Well, Canon has just been added to that list.
If you aren’t satisfied with Canon OEM EOS Utility package, Breeze Systems just announced 3 new versions of DSLR Remote Pro 1.6 DSLR Remote Pro Multi-Camera 1.05 and PSRemote Multi-Camera 1.0 for Canon DSLR remote control application for Windows platform.
So if you have a DSLR, chances are you spent roughly all your spare change from at least 1 month on it, so replacing it is more or less out of the question. Up until now, the best thing you could do is keep it in the case when you weren’t using it, but now you can protect it while in use too.
In fact they are rumored to be announced on January 24th, 2008. There aren’t any pictures of either camera yet, but below is a picture of the K10D, the camera they would presumably be replacing.
The rumors claim some pretty hardcore specs, even for a DSLR. Those include a 14MP CMOS sensor, a 14-bit RAW A/D processor, 3” LCD, better In-Body shake reduction, PC Syncing, and that’s just for the K20D. the K200D would be replacing the K100D.
Are you, or someone you know afraid of losing the old Minolta or Pentax film camera they are holding onto? Well, chances are you won’t be able to convince them to ditch them completely, film can still do some amazing things that digital can’t, but this digital camera might make them feel familiar enough to start using digital.
It really looks almost exactly like the Pentax I have sitting on my desk, it has the mode selector wheel, the big, boxy body, and it looks like it even has the winder, albeit with a button on top of it, so its probably not functional, but it looks almost exactly the same. It has a 2.7-inch LCD on the back that is surrounded by 13 multi-mode buttons for navigating features, menu’s, etc.
Sure, you could go out and by a 7 or 8 megapixel cam with a mere 3x zoom made by some knockoff optics company that’s paper thin and comes in 50 different colors. Or, you could do the smart thing and go with the fat ugly friend with a far better personality, such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3.
You don’t believe it has a great personality? Check out the Lieca 28mm wide lens that offers up 10x optical zoom.
