Canon so far has made one of the biggest digital imaging splashes at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with its new PowerShot N, a small, square-ish digicam that's so simple that it does away with the traditional shutter button and zoom controls. We got our hands on one at the show, and we found it to...

 

 

We love images from outer space but it's even better when they're captured by a real human behind the lens. (No offense to all the spectacular photos we've posted recently shot by satellites and the Cassini space probe.)

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield has kept our interest in space photography satiated thanks...

 

 

The Nikon 70-200mm f/4G ED VR AF-S was released near the end of 2012, offering a smaller, lighter alternative in the 70-200mm range. Incorporating Nikon's latest version of its Vibration Reduction technology, we've put the new lens through its paces in our test lab: click here to read our full review of the Nikon...

 

 

Olympus has introduced six new fixed-lens camera models for the Consumer Electronics Show. Among the group is the first fixed-lens digicam with a five-axis stabilization system (as featured previously in the OM-D E-M5 mirrorless camera), plus a variety of rugged lifestyle cameras and long-zoom digicams. We'll...

 

 

Fujifilm's X-Trans sensor technology was arguably one of the most significant technical developments of 2012 for the photo business. Offering superior resolution without moiré patterns or other aliasing, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 was a true breakthrough product.

Now, an updated version of the unique X-Trans sensor...

If you could ask your favorite camera company any question you wanted, what would it be?

We landed today in Las Vegas, Nevada, for what's shaping up to be a very interesting 2013 Consumer Electronics Show. Things are heating up in the enthusiast compact camera market, hybrid phase detect autofocus makes a return to fixed-lens cameras,...

Nikon's fledgling 1-mount system has only been around for a little over a year, but in that time it's seen a pretty impressive pace of development. Today, the announcement of two more 1-mount cameras makes that adjective seem insufficient. A greater superlative is needed to describe a schedule that sees no less than six cameras released...

While we've not yet put together all the details on Fuji's big news of the day from the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas -- the announcements of two exciting new X-series cameras, the X20 and X100s -- we do have the skinny on seven new FinePix compact and bridge models released today.

Photographer Anton Orlov made an amazing discovery after he purchased a French stereoscopic camera at a cluttered antiques store recently: a collection of rare images of the first World War were stashed inside.

The images, a few of which are shown below, were in negative form on thin plates of glass inside a...

Panasonic's making quite a splash at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year, debuting no less than nine fixed-lens cameras and six Full HD-capable camcorders, one of them wearable. We've just published previews of four of the cameras, and we're just wrapping up our coverage on the fifth model as we speak. First up: the...

 

 

UPDATE: Lots of confusion out there, but it appears Adobe is not giving away free copies of Creative Suite 2 (CS2) as we reported earlier.

After IR and many other sites shared news that Adobe was letting users have free downloads of the 2005 software package, which includes an old version of Photoshop, Adobe...

Pentax's first fixed-lens enthusiast model. 
Until now, there's been a clear differentiation in Pentax's camera lineup. Between its various mirrorless, SLR, and medium-format models, the company provides quite a few options for experienced shooters and those looking for room to grow. Its fixed-lens models, meanwhile, are aimed at...

Canon has today announced four new digital camera models for the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada: the Canon PowerShot N, ELPH 130 IS, PowerShot A2600, and PowerShot A1400.

Of the quartet, the most eyecatching is the PowerShot N, which takes a long, hard look at the humble shutter button, and subjects it to some...

 

 

Yes, polar bears might look all cute and cuddly but they are extremely dangerous animals, especially when they're hungry, as this harrowing video shows.

In the below clip, filmmaker Gordon Buchanan is housed in a plexiglass pod -- sort of an arctic shark cage -- in Svalbard, Norway, shooting footage for a BBC...

He was just a 14-year-old kid from the Bronx, but he captured footage of one of the biggest movie stars of all time at the height of her powers. The year was 1955 and teenager Peter Mangone was so obsessed with Marilyn Monroe, he skipped school in hopes of spotting her near the hotel in Manhattan where she was staying after her divorce from...

 

 

A British photographer has won the title of "Travel Photographer of the Year" for what contest organizers describe as his captivating images of "wet, miserable, dank weather."

How very British of him!

Seriously though, Craig Easton's visually compelling images (such as the first image below) won the Cutty...

 

 

As a working photographer, I have met the king of rock and roll, the king of Norway, and other royalty. Yet I never imagined that there was a king (or queen, for that matter) of photography. Certainly, no one ever called Henri Cartier-Bresson, Richard Avedon or even Annie Leibovitz that. So who is this king of...

Big, bulky cameras aren't for everybody. You don't need chunky, SLR-like styling to get interchangeable-lens versatility, and some of us are more than happy to forgo a few features for street shooter anonymity. Back in 2011, Samsung answered that need, dropping the electronic viewfinder from the then-flagship NX11, and creating the...

 

 

So much for the demise of brick-and-mortar photo print shops. Polaroid plans to launch 10 brand new retail stores in 2013 that will be dedicated to helping consumers print their digital images from smartphones and other devices.

The company will open the first such retail location, called Polaroid Fotobar, in...
