It's been over a year now since Kodak entered bankruptcy proceedings, but fans of the one-time industry icon will be pleased to hear that it finally seems to be getting closer to putting its house in order.
Last December, we reported that Kodak had found a buyer for a large chunk of its patent portfolio. While the US$525 million purchase...
Korea's Samsung brought no less than seven new camera models to the Consumer Electronics Show this year. The consumer electronics heavyweight updated two of its existing long-zoom Smart-branded cameras with new versions, and added a third model to the line that's smaller and lighter than past efforts.
Other additions to the line included a...
Big, bulky cameras aren't for everybody. You don't need chunky, SLR-like styling to get interchangeable-lens versatility, and some of us are more than happy to forgo a few features for street shooter anonymity. Back in 2011, Samsung answered that need, dropping the electronic viewfinder from the then-flagship NX11, and creating the stealthy...
It's been almost a year now since Eastman Kodak Co. entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy. After many years struggling with its transition into the digital age, spiraling losses finally caught up with the one-time icon of the film photography industry, and despite planning to sell off a large chunk of its patent portfolio in an effort to keep itself...
Among the many cameras announced this year, the Samsung Galaxy Camera stands out as genuinely different. We've been intrigued by the possibilities of a camera with a full-blown Android operating system and built-in cellular data connectivity ever since the Samsung Galaxy Camera was announced, and were keen to put one through our rigorous testing. When our review sample arrived...
The recent double-whammy of Hurricane Sandy and the Nor'easter that followed just days later has left parts of the northeastern United States reeling. More than 100 people have died, and entire communities were wiped from the map by the combination of powerful winds, heavy rainfall, storm surge flooding, and fires that raged out of control. A...
The much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy Camera will go on sale this Friday, November 16, for $499.99, with or without a data plan, AT&T announced today. AT&T was named the carrier of the unique "cellular" Samsung camera in early October.

Last September, Samsung announced two new lenses for its NX-mount mirrorless cameras at the Photokina tradeshow in Cologne, Germany. Today, the company has taken advantage of another tradeshow to provide more information. At the just-launched PDN PhotoPlus Expo in New York, Samsung has provided US-market pricing for both...
We rolled down the hill with a Samsung EX2F digicam before tonight's opening game of the 2012 World Series between the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants. Thought we'd get you in the mood.
We tried some digital zoom images (it isn't a long lens) because our test shots on Twin Peaks had come out so well.
One more...

So one mystery about the Samsung Galaxy Camera has just been cleared up. The unique "cellular" camera, which runs Google’s Android 4.1 (aka Jelly Bean) and has WiFi and either 3G or 4G connectivity, will be available from AT&T and use that company's cellular network.
Other questions still remain on the Samsung Galaxy...
Could you be the next David Bailey? If you live in the United Kingdom and share the same name as the famous British photographer, you've already got a head start on the road to being the next big pro--or so Samsung UK cheekily suggests with a new publicity campaign for the Samsung NX1000 digital camera, entitled...
Back at the start of July, the Samsung EX2F digital camera was unveiled, claimed by its manufacturer to have the brightest lens of any compact camera model. Admittedly, that record didn't last long: just two weeks later the Panasonic LX7 was revealed with an even brighter zoom. Still, there's no denying that with a maximum aperture varying from f/1.4 to f/2.7 across the zoom...
If you could ask a product manager at any camera company any question you wanted, what would it be?
We landed today in Cologne, Germany, for what's shaping up to be the biggest Photokina in recent memory. Full-frame goes mainstream, video and still imaging continue their courtship, while camera manufacturers continue to experiment with wifi and in-camera apps. Who said the...
Samsung has added significant creative flexibility to its NX-series of compact interchangeable lens cameras by introducing at Photokina a new ultra-wide-angle zoom lens and a new mid-telephoto prime lens. With these two additions, the company now has 11 professional-caliber options within its NX Lens family. Here's the...
In a long-awaited but curiously timed move, Samsung announced it was finally bringing its Android OS expertise to a digital camera, a 16-megapixel, 21x optical touch zoom that runs on Google's latest and greatest platform. Dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Camera--and thus building on the branding of Samsung's popular smartphones and tablets--the device takes advantage of the speed and...
And Now Some Meaningless Speculation...
These are simply my observations and speculations. I have absolutely no real information about any manufacturer’s plans. If I did, I would have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and couldn’t write this stuff. But I like to speculate. It’s sort of like playing Fantasy Football with camera manufacturers.
I’m going to split this up by the...
Each year, the European Imaging and Sound Association comes together to vote on its annual EISA awards. A wide range of categories are covered, including everything from in-car electronics to mobile devices. Photo products are in the mix, and while we don't typically cover industry awards, EISA's photo awards are a little more illuminating than most. That's because they're voted...
