Really exciting point-and-shoot cameras only come around every so often, and last year's Sony RX100 was one of them. It blew its pocket compact competitors away. It also cost £550, which is pricey for an enthusiast camera. The new scaled down Sony HX50V mimics the RX100's covetable aesthetics, and packs some attractive, beginner-friendly features into a more affordable package. Call it trickle-down design done right.

Everyone who is not a good photographer is a bad photographer—a condition that's only made worse because we insist on documenting our lives with abysmal smartphone cameras. And of all of the terrible things that ruin photos blur from slow shutter speeds is amongst the most common. Photoshop to the rescue. Read More >>
DARPA-funded DRS Technologies, Inc has developed a new 1280 x 720 night vision camera with pixels just five microns across—that's reportedly just one-twelfth the size of a human hair. So. Small.

Yes, this is purely rumour, and while it could be completely off the mark, it seems like such common sense it totally shouldn't come as a surprise if this turns out to be real.

In other words? Every last detail captured in super, super, super slow-motion. Read More >>
