Olympus has released several firmware versions targeted at its Pen series digital cameras, except for the E-P1 that doesn’t have an accessory port.
Specifically speaking, the package is developed for the E-P2, E-P3, E-PM1, and E-PM2 cameras, as well as the E-PL1, E-PL2, E-PL3, and E-PL5 pen series devices. In... |

Yesterday, there was very little that I could actually write about the upcoming successor to the Samsung Galaxy camera, called Galaxy NX.
This has now changed though. The folks at Vietnamese site Tinhte got their hands on the first two press photos of the device.
They also learned what some of the specifications ... |

The Samsung Galaxy Camera had a fairly decent price at $449.99 / €449.99, even with Wi-Fi available, but even then, some people thought it could be cheaper, especially since it lacked phone call support (Galaxy Camera looks like a smartphone from behind).
This would make people hope that the successor to the ... |

Pentax has chosen to update its entire photo and video camera portfolio, instead of launching cameras one by one. We've seen the K-50 DSLR, so now we can examine the Q7 Interchangeable-Lens Camera.
Although calling it an Interchangeable-Lens Camera might be a stretch, given how incredibly small it is.

Pentax is one of the better-known makers of photo and video cameras, which means it knows well that sometimes it has to offer something besides dry specifications in order to enchant customers.
This is owed to the fact that most providers of cameras offer more or less the same features on every camera type.
As suc... |

Photo and video capture devices usually stick to the range of features most common for their size and type, but there are some that try to meld the assets of more than one. Leica X Vario is an example of that.
Previously known as Leica Mini M, the digital camera has an APS-C format 16.5-megapixel CMOS image sensor,... |

Another day, another graphene breakthrough. The legendary material has been found quite useful for the photo and video camera market. Long story short, the supermaterial has been used to make a camera sensor. And not just any sensor, but one with two major advantages over standard ones. The first one, and shocking... |

The Raspberry Pi continues to charm its way into schools and the homes of random people, showing that all the work done by the Raspberry Pi Foundation is paying off.

Since Olympus launched the Pen E-P5 just last week, some may be tempted to believe the company would take a sabbatical, but that is not what has happened. Instead, the company has launched another photo and video capture device.
Said device goes by the name of E-PL6 and is part of the PEN Lite series, developed by ... |

A leak may have exposed the PEN E-P5 camera from Olympus, but in the days that passed since then, the company has managed to get around to formally releasing the photo and video capture device.
Not that the camera is up for sale. It isn't. Shipments will only start being carried out at the end of this month (M... |

Samsung's Galaxy Camera was inspired by the design of a smartphone, to an extent, at least in regard to the touchscreen-based control systems, but no matter what anyone said, the item never qualified as a camera phone.
For the simple reason that the Galaxy Camera does not, in fact, support voice calls. It is s... |

Insects are very interesting creatures, because of many reasons, but most of all due to how their eyes work. While most bugs have two eyes, these aren't normal. They are more like surfaces dotted with countless smaller eyes. Dragonflies and praying mantises, for example, each have two bulbous ocular systems th... |

I'm sure Olympus will get around to formally launching its newest camera at some point in the future, but for now, we'll have to settle for the leaks from Mobile01 and 43Rumors.

In order for slow motion videos to be truly entrancing, the video must be recorded at a much higher frame rate than the one considered the “norm” during playback.
That means that good slow motion is recorded in something that is 30 fps or 60 fps multiplied several times. And the better the resolution, the hard... |
