If you've been searching for a pinhole camera to enjoy and then pass on to your children, you're in luck. Industrial designer and carpenter Elvis Halilović has created a beautiful line of handmade pinhole cameras. Wait, you haven't been looking for that? Huh. Okay. Nonetheless!

If you've ever been on the set of a professional photography shoot, you'll notice the photographer doesn't just rely on a single camera-mounted flash. Instead, they use a series of strategically positioned flashes, all tethered together so they function as one, precisely controlling where and how much light is hitting the subject. And that approach is very similar to a patent Apple originally filed back in 2011 that could dramatically improve your iPhone's photography prowess. Read More >>

If the term intervalometer leaves you scratching your head, but you have the perfect idea for the next viral timelapse video, Brinno's here to help. The company's new TLC200 Pro makes creating timelapses as easy as using a point-and-shoot camera.

Usually reliable internet sources claim Samsung's preparing another Android model, this one going by the name Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. The alleged phone shrinks the S4's screen size to 4.3" but adds a 16-Megapixel sensor around the back by way of compensation. It's less of a phone than the Galaxy S4 and less of a camera than the Galaxy Camera. Is it therefore a phone too far for our Korean Android overlords? [SamMobile] Read More >>

Most front-facing phone cameras suck. It's not their fault, though: they have to be squeezed in to a tiny gap, which puts obvious limits on their geometry. Fortunately, this new Omnivision sensor squeezes a lot more performance into that minuscule frame. Read More >>
