In a culture that’s been terrified by monsters like Godzilla and Mothra for decades, I’m not sure an inflatable giant was the best choice of advertising mediums for the people of Tokyo, Japan. Panasonic used a gigantic inflatable model of their celebrity spokeswoman, Ayase Haruka, wielding a Lumix FX700 larger than two humans, to convince/terrorize the people of Tokyo to ...

Don’t get me wrong. The new 5 megapixels sensor of the iPhone 4 is a vast improvement over other iPhone models, but it just doesn’t do the trick for taking some of the detailed, intricate photos some of us enjoy taking. Japanese stargazer Jurilog decided that instead of using a DSLR camera, he wanted to use the iPhone 4 to ...

Since cameras became a portable medium, the form factor, aside from size differences, have remained relatively unchanged.

Monsoon season is just around the corner. And you know what that means. Massive rainfall in a short amount of time. For a photographer, just the mention of rain can cause your anxiety level to rise. That’s why something like the ThinkTank Hydrophobia Rain Cover can come in such handy if you’re in a heavily moist climate. Zipping right around ...

According to OmniVision, they’ve secured 5 MP CIS orders for the next-generation Apple iPhone device, expected to be released� in the second half of 2010, which would sort of coincide with other rumors we’ve been hearing about WWDC. OmniVision was also the supplier for the 3.2 MP CIS of the iPhone 3GS. This would pretty much coincide with the general ...

The Phone-O-Scope, by iPhone mod extraordinaire Bhautik Joshi, is an optical coupler which allows you to attach an SLR lens to your iPhone. If you’ve been looking for a way to add some DSLR power to your camera phone, an app probably isn’t the way to go, especially when you can get the real thing with a roll of duct ...

Erin Fong’s Nova DSLR concept reestablishes everything we thought we knew about DSLR camera design and recreates it in a novel way.
