This entry is part 3 of 5 in the series Motorola Droid X

I don’t buy my phone based on the camera, but there is a lot of truth to the adage that the best camera you have is the one that is with you. The cameras keep getting better and better with each generation of phone. The camera in the Droid X is an 8 megapixel camera [...]

Back in March, Panasonic announced two new cameras – the Lumix G2 and G10.

It’s not going to replace my Canon G11 anytime soon, but I think the iPhone 3GS’s built in camera does a pretty good job for quick snapshots. When I say pretty good, I’m talking image quality and not camera features. Let’s face it, the only features of the camera app are the shutter and video toggle buttons. [...]

While it is called a “multimedia photo viewer”, think of the Epson P-7000 as a miniature quality control system for in-the-field photography.  If you’ve ever taken shots in a hard-to-reach location and tried to asses the quality of those shots in the field by squinting at your camera’s LCD screen, you can certainly appreciate the [...]

This entry is part 5 of 7 in the series Motorola Droid for Verizon

I found out last Thursday I would have another week with the phone, so my urgency dropped a little bit about posting, and I took a three-day weekend. I don’t have much more to cover with the phone before I wrap up with the review but will still have a few more posts. Today it [...]

Gadgeteer HQ is located in the basement of my home. Several times a week, I’ll be working on a review and will hear someone walk across my front porch and then ring the door bell. Most of the time it is a UPS or FedEx person, but either way, it would be great to be [...]

The Blackbird Camera from superheadz is a twin-lens reflex camera: one lens is used to expose the film, while the other is used like a viewfinder. This style of camera which goes back to the 1920s, typically uses larger 120 format film. The blackbird, fly uses 35mm film – which can be processed at any [...]

In the two years since I reviewed the
Sanyo VPC-HD1 camcorder, I’ve been using it as my main method of capturing video. I love it for its size and ease of use, but have always been disappointed at its low light performance. Since I don’t include a video spot in all the reviews I do, I just kept putting up with the Sanyo instead of replacing it. That changed recently when the folks at Samsung invited me to review their SC-HMX10C Progressive HD camcorder. I’ve been using this camera for several weeks now, so let’s take a closer look….

A couple months ago, I was been bitten by the video bug when I started watching Josh Leo’s Vlog. This guy makes some really great videos and they inspired me to try my hand at doing the same thing. Well, not really the same thing, because I didn’t start an actual Vlog. When I get [...]
