  • Olympus Announces Black-on-Black E-P2 Kit and 2 New Lenses

    If a camera lets us make the pictures we want to make, it can be as ugly it wants to be. But, the already-beautiful E-P2 is getting a style upgrade in the form of a matching black M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm kit lens and FL-14 flash. Both are otherwise the same as their silver predecessors and the kit will start hitting shelves (in limited supplies) starting in October and carrying a price of $999. Those who have already bought into the Olympus PEN system will inevitably be more excited about the announcement of two new lenses: The M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300 MM F4.8-6.7 (150-600mm equivalent) and M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150MM F4.0-5.6 (80-300mm equivalent). Both lenses use extra-low dispersion glass and are capable of autofocus.

    Camera phones have really come a long way over the years—most
    of the smart phones out these days offer cameras with up to eight megapixels (the Nokia N8 even has 12),
    not to shabby! But one thing even
    today’s camera phone’s lack is the ability to shoot macro images—that is, up
    until now.

    With the use of the lens from an old, preferably broken DVD
    player, you can now finally capture the tiny details of the everyday
    world.

  • Shoot for the stars using your iphone 4

    www.engadget.comWant some up close and personal pictures of the man in the moon? No, you don’t need to build your own Hubble Space Telescope, simply grab
    your iphone 4 and any small tripod-mounted telescope. The Apple smartphone apparently does a phenomenal job of
    capturing the moon through just about any simple spyglass. Also, by utilizing the nifty Planisphere app, you can search the night sky with ease, identifying points
    of interest before you begin shooting.
