This post-CES time is always a popular time for camera companies to roll out updated versions of existing camera lines and Sony has done just that. The new a58 and NEX-3N haven't yet been announced here in the States, but they act as follow-ups to the a57 and the NEX-F3 respectively.
Back at CES, Pentax announced their new advanced compact camera. It has a 1/1.7-inch sensor and a 4x optical zoom lens. But, the real draw is its stylish brass body. We took it out on the streets of New York City to see how it handles.
At least on paper, Nikon's new APS-C DSLR is tough to beat
By Stan Horaczek on February 21, 2013
Remember that thing I said earlier about this being the time of year for camera companies to update previous models? Well, the next up to bat is Nikon and they have an impressive-looking APS-C offering in the new D7100.
I never intended to start collecting old film cameras, but somehow, it happened. I'd see an old Mamiya rangefinder at a garage sale and need to pick it up. A working Canon AE-1 on Craigslist for $20? Gotta have it. So, when I saw this massive collection for sale on eBay, my inner camera nerd got excited.
We saw several new rugged compacts back at CES earlier this month, and the collection keeps growing now that CP+ is in full swing. Nikon has a pair of tough cameras, both updates to previous models.
The idea of a robotic camera "eye" has been around for a long time. Neil Harbisson, however, has been putting a version of it to use in order to combat his achromatopsia, a condition that prevents him from seeing color.
This full-frame DSLR provides high-performance at a low price
By Philip Ryan on January 23, 2013
A full-frame DSLR body has long been on the wish lists of many more photographers than could afford one. Now, both Nikon and Canon have announced cameras priced at about $2,100 (street, body only), pitching them as “low-cost” full-framers.
There's something entrancing about watching technology come together
By Tim Barribeau on January 18, 2013
It's kind of amazing to watch gear being assembled, as factories work with incredible precision to craft the technology that we use on a day to day basis. These two videos, one from Sony and one from Sigma, are very different — but are both extremely interesting for anyone who wants to see what goes on to create your favorite hardware.
