On Monday, we told you about this pepper mill grinder designed like a camera lens, and wondered what lens-shaped product the designers would think of next. Well, we asked and they've answered.
Monoculo Design Studio is offering the DSLR Paparazzi Lamp, an extra large wooden lamp that looks like a 14-24mm f/2.8 Nikkor...
What lens-shaped product will they think of next? Recently, we told you about a small, USB powered humidifier shaped like a Canon lens and before that there was this portable speaker designed like a Nikon zoom.
Add to that faux lens arsenal this Camera Lens Pepper Mill Grinder, available via Amazon.com for $18.99....
It's a massive, one-of-a-kind camera but, until recently, it was thought to be too big to move. That may change if a project to create a more mobile version of the IMAGO1to1 life-size self-portrait camera gets the funding it's looking for.
The original IMAGO1to1 walk-in camera was built in Munich in 1970 by inventor...
If you own one of Sony's Alpha SLT or NEX-series camera bodies and lenses made in the last couple of years, there's a pretty good chance new firmware awaits you on the company's support website. (Links to all the updates are at the end of this article.)

Yes, it's pretty much an advertisement for Nikon's lenses, but it's hard not to be mesmerized by the craftsmanship and...

Canon announced the 24-70mm f/4L IS USM in November of 2012 as a lighter, less expensive alternative to the 24-70mm f/2.8. The lens is also equipped with image stabilization, and a specific macro mode. We've put the lens through its paces in our test lab: Click here to read our full review of the Canon 24-70mm f/4L IS...
There are a lot of rugged, weather-sealed digital cameras to choose from these days, but to date they've pretty-much all shared an Achilles heel. To charge them, you've had to open the camera up, adding a little wear and tear to the weather-sealing and perhaps introducing some dirt or debris in the process. The Pentax WG-3 GPS is, we believe,...
January has been quite the month for Nikon. The company already announced two new 1-series mirrorless cameras and a Coolpix compact just prior to the Consumer Electronics Show, and now it's followed up with seven more cameras for the largest photography show in its home market -- the annual CP+ Camera and Imaging Show. That's a total of no...
We don't know about you but the radiator in our office keeps it crazy dry during the long winter months. Not only is it unpleasant -- cracked skin, anyone? -- the dry air can cause the nozzles in an inkjet photo printer to clog up.
Here's a fun solution with a photography theme: the USB Camera Lens Humidifier (also...

The White House has released a new presidential portrait for Barack Obama and it has once again been shot by his official photographer, Pete Souza. Compared to Souza's much more dour first official portrait of Obama back in 2009, this new one shows the president smiling.

For several generations now, there's been a clear pattern to Sigma's DP-series of fixed-lens, large-sensor cameras. Each generation has had just two models, closely related and differing mostly in their choice of lens. For the first time in a half decade, the pattern has changed with the introduction of a third DP-series camera, the Sigma DP3...
The rumors are true: Canon opened its first Canon Image Square location in Calgary, Alberta, Canada yesterday. The location, however, is not a retail store at all, but more of an interactive showroom, where potential customers can touch and try Canon's latest imaging technology.
No cameras, camcorders, or printers can...
Sigma announced the 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM "A" lens during the 2012 Photokina, the inaugural lens to its new "Art" series of lenses.
