The H4D is the most advanced medium format camera on the market: the ultimate weapon for professional photographers. This limited-edition model, painted Ferrari’s “rosso fuoco,” will create images as timeless as the Italian automaker’s custom cars. Only 500 cameras will be produced.
It looks like your dad’s old rangefinder from the 60s, but this thing actually takes great photos – and not on film.

And the greatest feature of all, the 60D takes all of Canon’s 50+ EF series lenses.
That friend of yours who thinks he’s a pro photographer (& always totes a big DSLR around his neck, cramping your style) is gonna hate you when you break one of these out.

You’ll never forgive yourself if you don’t bring the video camera on your vacation to Bali. So, make sure it survives the rickshaw ride to the eco-lodge with this inflatable camera bag from Kata.

Why does the your kid’s soccer game video look as bad as the one your dad shot of you with his shoulder-mounted VHS camera? Maybe it’s your lame little camera. Step up to the Sony NEX-VG10 camcorder that shoots in crispy HD with a wide array of interchangeable lenses. It’s massive 14.6 MP optical sensor, stunning stereo audio quality, optional still photo mode & ergonomic design all add up to a better chance to capture some sweet footage.
Lumix has packed every conceivable (and even a few inconceivable) features into this small camera. The DMC-G2 comes with a 14-42mm lens, but also runs an array of interchangeable lenses. It features a huge 12MP optical sensor & a touch-sensitive control panel on the oversize LCD screen. It shoots 720p HD video. There’s even a sensor in the viewfinder that registers when your eye is close to the camera to disengage touch-controls on the LCD. That way your nose won’t change the settings and ruin the shot. Seriously, it has that.
It’s only a little bigger than your iPhone and shoots crispy HD video. On top of that, the Cyber-shot TX9 features Sony’s 3D Intelligent Sweep, which lets you shoot ultra-wide panoramas by just panning the camera. It can also shoot bursts up to 12 frames-per-second for sequences and has a background de-focus for isolating your subject. All this means that no matter how clueless you are, you’ll get pro results.
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 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.
