With the two printers Canon announced earlier today -- the Pixma MG7120 and MG5520 -- the company has for the first time made photo printing an integral part of the social networking that hundreds of millions of people use daily.

Canon launched a total of five new PowerShot models today, including the Canon G16 and Canon S120 enthusiast compact digital cameras. But the manufacturer made sure it also had something for consumer photographers, announcing evolutionary upgrades to two SX-series long zoom cameras, and making a Facebook-friendly tweak to the PowerShot N. Here's the skinny:

What is it about photo booths that never seems to go out of style? Hard to say, really, but these timeless, self-portrait devices are turning up in the strangest places, including one of the biggest public library systems in the world.

At Eastman Kodak, things are finally looking up for a long-troubled giant of the imaging industry. Nineteen months ago, the company that once dominated film photography finally filed for bankruptcy. Yesterday, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved its plan to reemerge as a leaner, meaner company with a...

 

 

TheQ Camera may not have much in terms of technical specs. It packs just a 5-megapixel sensor, and a 24mm equivalent, f/2.4 lens. But instead, what it does have, is a built-in 3G connection and a goofproof design, that means you can take it anywhere and share the images extremely easily.

TheQ Camera is available...

When we first heard about an annual awards competition for iPhone photography, we were a little skeptical. There's so much iPhoneography out there these days and so much of it is…meh.

But the iPhone Photography Awards is a legit contest and the winning images for the 2013 competition are impressive. The ground...

We're all familiar with verbs, the words that indicate actions and states of being. They're all around us, and through the oft-mocked act of verbing, we add to their roster almost on a daily basis. Now, GPS maker Garmin has gotten in on the game with its cleverly-named VIRB action camera line, and it will doubtless be hoping to find its...

 

 

These days, it seems that even affordable pocket-sized point-and-shoot cameras are capable of capturing high-speed video footage.
