This camera looks so good because the picture you’re looking at was taken with another Alpa 12 TC. That’s a joke, but why not joke? The average Joe can’t even appreciate what this camera can do. The Alpa 12 TC is pro-quality equipment, obviously. The modular design allows it to shoot film or digital with a whopping 60MP file size – plus, it’s fully integrated to work with the full range of Alpa lenses. Even though you could do absolutely nothing with it, this camera does it all.
The latest edition to Canon’s ultra-portable Elph-series brings big-boy functionality to a little shooter. Incredible images in low light? With the back-illuminated CMOS sensor-driven HS SYSTEM and f/2.0 lens…it’s now possible. Capturing the game’s winning shot? The High Speed Burst Mode & Super Slow Motion video recording have you covered. And yes, it records in 720p HD.
Skinny dipping just became a video option. KODAK’s Playsport is waterproof up to 10 feet. With 1080p HD recording, image stabilization & compact form factor, this cam gives you everything you need for filming life – wherever it takes you.
Like nectar from the Gods, Leica’s new super-zoom compact shooter takes the pitch-perfect guts of its ancestry and throws in HD vid recording, GPS tagging & an incredible 25-300mm zoom lens. Great for pros looking for something smaller, or those who think they are.
The miniaturization of tech continues. Panasonic’s AG-3DA1 is the world’s first integrated twin-lens full HD 3D camcorder. You probably aren’t in the market for this beast – but it does open up interesting options to a new range of amateur film-makers. Now, it’s only a matter of time before Youtube launches a 3D category. Scary.
FugiFilm climbs on the 3D bandwagon with this sharp little snapper. FinePix simultaneously captures images with two lenses & CCDs. A built-in 3D processor morphs the graphics before displaying the final picture on a 3D LCD screen. Chunky wayfarers not required.
The Holga – circa 1960. Cheap, plastic, takes terrible photos and has legions of fans. Check out Flickr’s Holga tag for living proof. The “Jack” limited edition pays homage to the White Stripe’s musical master with every imperfect shot. Click here for the camera’s micro-site.
Straight from our stretch of coast, Encinitas-based Aaron Wilcox fuses fashion with photography. Strapwork’s custom camera straps are crafted from leather, suede & soft vinyl embodying the creativity of the photographers who wear them.
Pentax departs from the bulky black or silver snapper with a minimalistic mod orange. Wide angle 5X optical zoom, 12.1 mega-pixels, 2.7″ LCD and wide screen HD video – old has definitely met new.
No, this shooter isn’t vintage. But, the E-P1 pays homage to the “Pen F” circa 1959. Olympus’ new, interchangeable-lens digital boasts a 12.3-megapixel sensor capable of both still and HD video capture. This little guy looks like dad’s old 35mm, but with a 21st century spec list.
