It is encouraging to see that the Micro Four Thirds camera format is starting to gain traction among those who do not want all that a full DSLR delivers, and yet want to capture some seriously good looking photos. Panasonic has been at the forefront of Micro Four Thirds technology for some time already, and their latest addition to the family would be the Lumix GM1.

The Panasonic Lumix GM1 is extremely small in terms of its physical size, where it will be equipped with a 16-megapixel sensor, a 3” LCD display that tilts, 1/16,000 shutter speed, the ability to capture video in Full HD (1080p) resolution, and of course, something that seems to be the staple more and more these days in digital cameras – integrated Wi-Fi support, which was also spotted in the recently announced Sony Cyber-shot RX10.

The Panasonic Lumix GM1 is a looker for sure, where it arrives in a metal alloy frame, sporting classy looking aluminum dials that are complemented by a brushed-steel finish. Unfortunately, we do not quite have a lid on the pricing details as at press time, so hopefully, something more concrete from Panasonic will be shared later in the day. In any case, it will not be dirt cheap, but should be on par with other higher end Micro Four Thirds shooters in the market.

Have you ever heard of the consumer electronics company Coby before? Well, they do churn out budget-oriented devices from time to time, ranging from MP3 players all the way to tablets and TVs, and have been in business for over two decades. Unfortunately, life is a very fickle thing, and it was earlier this summer that the company fell on hard times, which subsequently allowed the Gordon Brothers Group to pick up all of Coby’s assets – and this includes its inventory, name, and intellectual property just a couple of months back in August.

It must be noted, however, that Gordon Brothers did not assume any of Coby’s debt or existing obligations. This might sound like it ain’t such a big deal after all, but it is. After all, that would mean its warranties for products that had already been sold are now void, which has subsequently resulted in folks sending messages to Coby concerning their products requiring a fix or warranty replacement, to be met by nothing but silence. I guess it is just too bad if you picked up something from Coby earlier this year, and now that it is broken and supposedly still under warranty, there really isn’t anything else that you can do about it.

Now that Microsoft is finally ready to welcome Windows 8.1 into the world, it seems fitting for a major new app to join the fray. Yep, an official Facebook app has at last arrived for the Microsoft operating system, and it seems to have all the trimmings of what you would normally expect out of the …

For many photographers, especially hobbyists, the convenience and portability of a digital camera becomes almost moot when they can’t share with family and friends the memorable moments they capture when and where they happen. That is why Nikon has put out its new D5300 D-SLR camera in order to capture and share stunning photographs and […]

Amazon added AirPlay support to its Instant Video (US) and Lovefilm (Europe, iPad only) apps for iOS devices in September, and now it’s pushed simultaneous updates to make it better.
