"Plain Sight" is an intriguing, brief video that takes relatively mundane flyover footage, and transforms it into a fun (and slightly bizarre) game of hiding still images in the video.

It's Firmware Friday time, and this week we've got news of updates for no less than nine different interchangeable-lens cameras from the Pentax brand.

A couple of weeks ago, parent company Ricoh announced that it would be releasing new all-weather flash strobes with LED video lights. The company also revealed updated versions of its...

In developing a replacement to last year's successful NEX-F3, Sony aimed to deliver nothing less than the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens system that featured an APS-C-sized sensor. Mission accomplished with the entry-level Sony NEX-3N, which pares down both the size and price from its predecessor -- albeit with a few...

Hasseblad is a Swedish company, but with divisions across the...

 

 

One of the big selling points of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 (like the E-M5 before it) is its magnesium body and weather sealing, making it stronger and tougher than most competing mirrorless cameras out there. The E-M1 is dustproof, splashproof, and can be used down to 14°F (-10°C), with a magnesium alloy inner frame....

 

 

On Monday, we showed you this spectacular shot of a NASA rocket launch passing in front of the Empire State Building.
