We recently noticed a lot of spots in pictures we were taking with our Nikon D80 camera. A quick Google search suggested we needed to clean dust off the mirrors and the other internal components. “Canned air” works well for cleaning dust out of nooks and crannies that all electronic devices have, but there are

I read a recent story over on SlashGear that iPhone is the most-used camera for pictures posted on Flickr right now. After all, many people say that best camera is the one you have with you, and most people have a phone with them. I saw an item for sale on Photojojo that will allow

When I first saw this cute little Necono Digital Camera, I thought it would make a good gift for a kid. The camera looks like a cat from a book by Lisa Larson, and it’s a very simplified camera without even a viewfinder. It can take still photos and video, but you won’t know what

I often write news items about iPad apps I think might interest you, and usually I find just a screen capture and a couple of sentences are enough. The AutoPainter app for iPad is so much fun that I thought it deserved a little more. The iOS versions (also available for iPhone) have been ported

Do you ever get frustrated feeling like you miss the big picture because you always have your eye glued to a camera viewfinder? If you have kids, does it seem all your photos show them at an angle, because using the viewfinder to frame the shot requires you to shoot downward (or lay on the

Most small digital cameras seem to be about the size and shape of a deck of cards these days. That’s nice for fitting it into your gear bag, but most of those cameras are flat, smooth, and slippery – and hard to hold. Flipbac Innovations has developed a grip – inspired by the built-in grips

Back in November, 2010, Julie told us about the Bolle BP-10 Photo Printer. At the time, the printer was available as a pre-order from a European company. Now, the Bolle is available as the iPhone Photo Printer from Hammacher Schlemmer. It produces photo-quality prints directly from a docked iPhone or iPod touch. Simply donwload a
Several of the ladies on my staff go every year to some cottage somewhere do go “scrap-booking”. I see stores come and go selling scrap-booking stuff, whatever that is. Personally, I think they really go to sit around and drink wine more than scrapbook (not that there is anything wrong with that….)! If you want

When I was very young, I remember playing with an old camera that belonged to my mother. I didn’t know it then, but it was an Imperial Reflex 620 Duo lens camera – just like the one purportedly used by Marina to take those famous pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald. That Imperial camera was a

Yesterday, Jackie sent me a link to Photojojo and I’ve been browsing all their cool products like this super cute mini DSLR. It’s a 1/6 scale model that includes 3 lenses that can be attached to the camera. How neat is that? The whole set is $28. I’m really tempted to buy one for myself.
