As its name suggests, the Spy Tie is a tie that comes with a hidden spy camera. Mind you, its video quality is better than you probably expected: 768 x 492 for up to 65 minutes (1GB SD) or 280 minutes (4GB SD). The tie set comes with a small cigarette box-sized recorder with a 2.4-inch [...]

Whoopsy! Looks like someone over at Canon Hong Kong exposed a little secret of theirs by showing a link on their website pointing to an EOS 40D. The page has since been taken down. Hardly surprising to fellow shutterbugs though, as the EOS 30D has been out for almost a year. Of course, we can’t predict [...]

Blogger Allen George managed to spot german retailer website neckermann.de with pictures and specifications on a new Nikon D40 digital SLR camera before they took it down. Could this be real? Neckermann.de seems like a pretty highly-trafficked and reputable site. And it’s hard to tell if the pictures are results of elaborate Photoshop-jobs. Any eagle-eyed readers [...]

What’s the next step up from the current 8GB CompactFlash? 16GB of course! Unfortunately, the suggested retail price of US$1,049 seems to be a bit more than what you’ll pay for two 8GBs. I don’t know about you but for photography, I would rather have eight 2GBs. Just so that if one of the card [...]

I believe all you photography enthusiasts out there agrees that Fujifilm’s SuperCCD sensors are one of the better DSLR sensors out there. The way it works allows a dynamic range much wider than what the competitors offer. And with a wider dynamic range, it means an easier time keeping whites from blowing out into “255†[...]

With its insane megapixel count, it creates cool 6-by-17 (7,500 x 21,250 pixels) panoramic images with every shot. And thanks to its blazing-fast processing power and gigabit Ethernet connection, each image is [...]

Aww…isn’t it cute! The mini Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II body + EF 600mm f/4L IS USM lens is said to be a commemorative model to celebrate 30 million Canon lenses produced since 1987. If dropping $7,000 for the real 1Ds Mark II and another $7,000 for the 600mm L lens is not your kind [...]
