It seems like RED's digital movie cameras are everywhere these days: from the latest Hollywood blockbuster to Felix Baumgartner's record-breaking freefall and the retirement of the Space Shuttle, RED was there. A radical adjustment to the company's price structure seems likely to make its products even more pervasive, though.

It's already become one of the most iconic images of New York City post-Hurricane Sandy. The photo, captured by Dutch photographer Iwan Baan, shows the city's powerless southern end mostly blacked-out in the wake of Sandy, and the more fortunate midtown and northern areas still lit.

 

 

Baan shot the aerial image...

 

 

I stumbled across Carlos Martinelli's short video called "Film Not Yet Dead" (embedded below) which takes a look at the shrinking world of New York City photographers who are devoted to shooting film and believe it's inherently better than digital. Quickly I realized the video was less about the battle between...

We've published some terrifying photos and videos of Hurricane Sandy and the resulting devastation this week but here's a striking image that gives a new perspective on just how massive the storm really was.

Created by the BBC, the map shows a simulated satellite view of what Sandy would have looked like had it swept through Europe, with the storm's center not far from...

The good folks over at LensRentals have somehow pulled the rabbit out of the hat again: Panasonic's brand-new LUMIX® G X VARIO 35-100mm / F2.8 ASPH constant-aperture zoom lens might be on backorder everywhere, but somehow they've just gotten their hands on seven copies. As he always does with the most interesting lenses, company founder...

 

 

Already turning up on year-end "best of" lists on a variety of photo gear sites, the pocket-sized, 20.2-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot RX100 just reached another, rather unexpected milestone. Time magazine has named the RX100 "Best Invention of the Year 2012".

What's also notable is that the Sony RX100 is one of only...

 

 

Multiple improvements help the Canon T4i retain its position as one of the easiest digital SLR cameras to recommend. New features like Full HD video with stereo recording, a new 5-frames-per-second frame rate, and multi-shot modes -- including HDR -- are real improvements worth noticing.

It was the Canon...

 

 

Landmark adventure film "Raiders of the Lost Ark" returned to the big screen a few months ago and as part of that re-release, a raft of behind-the-scenes images of the movie have been making the rounds.

Many of these candid shots are wonderful, showing director Stephen Spielberg, producer George Lucas and stars...

 

 

Hurricane Sandy has produced many dramatic photos in the last few days from shots of disaster in New York to satellite images and videos showing the power of Mother Nature from space. 

Here's an intriguing image, though, that we weren't expecting. It's a photo captured by solar physicist David Hathaway of NASA...

Do you own the Panasonic GH3 compact system camera and either the 12-35mm F2.8 or 35-100mm F2.8 Lumix G X Vario zoom lenses? If so, we have good news for you. Panasonic has announced that it's developing new firmware for both lenses that will bring improved autofocus performance with the GH3 body.

Few details are yet available, but we...

 

 

It's Halloween, and Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, tumblr and other social networking sites are full of photos -- and sometimes even how-to videos -- that show off everyone's costume creations. And, of course, being photo-minded, we were drawn to several camera and photography costumes that range from the ingenius to...

Late last week, Microsoft's released the latest version of its Windows operating system to the public. Windows 8 brings many changes to the user interface and the underlying architecture, many of them aimed at promoting use on mobile devices such as tablets.

As is often the case with major OS updates, Windows 8's new features are...

 

 

NASA/NOAA's GOES satellites have done a spectacular job of capturing shots of of Hurricane Sandy from space. Now here's a stunning video that puts many of those images together in an animated time-lapse showing the inception and path of Sandy from water to landfall.

The animation was created with shots from...

Among digital SLRs, there are two kinds of good. There's the good that makes you think it's time to trade your old SLR in for a newer model, and there's the good that has you seriously considering selling your existing lenses and accessories, and jumping ship to a different lens mount.

On paper, at least, the Pentax K-30 manages the...

I did a fair amount of shooting before, during and after Hurricane Sandy and I wish I'd had the good sense to bring along a decent rain cover for my camera. (Luckily, my camera survived, though many trees in my neighborhood did not.)

Here's a very interesting looking dry bag for digital SLRs and compact system cameras that would have been great to use during a...

One of my favorite photography stories is about one of the world’s first travel shoots. It's a little-known, true-life adventure that puts Indiana Jones to shame. I discovered the tale years ago at a flea market when I bought an old, yellowed paperback titled "Flaubert in Egypt."
 
The book is composed of...

 

 

Hurricane Sandy walloped New York City and the upper Atlantic coast yesterday, and along with leaving a trail of devastation in its wake it brought thousands of incredible photos showing the destructive power of Mother Nature.
