At yesterday's IFA conference in Germany, Samsung made waves by unveiling a smartwatch: a device that sits on your wrist, communicates with your phone, and is even capable of taking photos.

At the CP+ show in Japan earlier this year, Ricoh had a prototype for an interesting twin-lens panoramic device — and now, more than half a year later, that gadget is headed to users, but in a very different looking package. Meet the Ricoh Theta, a small, light camera with two wide-angle lenses capable of stitching...

Back in the summer of 2012, Fujifilm published a roadmap detailing its plans for the nascent X-mount through the end of 2013.

Now, the company says that one of the last holdouts -- the FUJINON XF23mm F1.4 R lens...

Nikon just took the wraps off two new fixed-lens cameras for its Coolpix line: The Nikon P7800 enthusiast compact, and the sleek little Nikon S02 point-and-shoot. Both replace existing models, and bring some very worthwhile upgrades.

The Nikon P7800 follows on from last year's P7700, and it keeps its 12.2-megapixel 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor, as...

Ever wanted to see a wedding from the point of view of the groom? Well, the traditional way has been to find a person, fall in love, bust out your tuxedo, and go and get hitched — or you could watch this video recorded by Michael Kammes. Kammes decided to record his wedding and reception by building his own 1080p...

 

 

Yesterday, Kodak exited bankruptcy, leaving behind the world of consumer products to instead focus on its commercial services. But where does that leave Kodak Personal Imaging, which was sold to Kodak's UK pension plan earlier this year? That sale officially went through today, and what was Kodak Personal Imaging...

 

 

Adobe has received a lot of criticism for making its Creative Cloud product suite a subscription-only service, not the least of which has been from photographers who may not need all the programs in the packed and pricey service. In response to that criticism,...

 

 

Almost every dedicated camera on the market shares one thing in common: It is -- in some form or other -- a box housing a lens. The long-rumored, large-sensor Sony QX100 and its sibling the long-zoom QX10 don't just buck that trend, they toss it into orbit. The box is gone, leaving only the lens barrel behind. The...

Kodak announced today it has officially moved out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings after completing a major restructuring. As we reported last month, the company will no longer produce any consumer products, instead concentrating on  "commercial printing, packaging, functional printing and professional...

When the Canon T5i launched earlier this year, many were quick to criticize its very minimal upgrade. There are no two ways around it: in most respects, the T5i is the same camera as that which it replaced.

There's more to the story, though, which makes sense of the slight changes made. And sometimes, maintaining the status quo can be a good...

 

 

For all the press that 4K TVs are getting right now, 4K video recording hasn't really hit the point-and-shoot camera market yet. But it seems that Acer has decided to leapfrog the competition, and start offering it in smartphones before it even gets to compact cameras, with the newly announced Liquid S2.

The...

 

 

When I lived in Sarasota, Florida, which had long been the winter home of the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus, I had many circus friends and several of them literally were clowns. And just like photographers Mary Ellen Mark and Diane Arbus, I became fascinated by the circus -- especially the transformation...

 

 

While many of us may use Google Earth to whistfully stare at tropical islands on a dreary Monday morning, it can actually give us a pretty impressive look into the past, too.
