In a set of photos from what appears to be a factory floor the iPhone 5S has been teased with two iterations: one a single-LED flash, another with a dual-LED flash. This is indicated by a single circle hole or a bit more of an oval, here showing the next-generation iPhone to be working with […]
Lytro has been an awfully quiet company recently. After creating waves by releasing their Lytro camera, which allows to change the depth-of-field after a photo is taken, the company sort of disappeared from the limelight. However, 2014 is expected to be a big year for the company, and they have a lot of new things […]

Special editions with ridiculously expensive extras must be all the rage among well-to-do gadget fans — that’s the only real explanation we can imagine for Harrods’ new Olympus PEN Art Edition. The kit includes two PEN E-P5s (one hand-painted), but it also bundles prime lenses, accessories, a training session… and a customized Vespa scooter. You’ll have both the gear you need for amateur photography and the transportation to your photo shoots. Mind you, we’d expect nothing less when the Art Edition costs £16,000 ($24,814) — more than some cars. If you’re eager to acquire both a new camera and a new ride in one fell swoop, though, the limited-run PEN bundle is available from Harrods today. Check out a photo of the Vespa after the break.

Way back in April, YouTube co-founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley announced a new video service called MixBit. Details were a bit scarce at that point, and it seemed like they merely just wanted to get the hype up. However, they’ve officially launched the iOS app, which allows users to record videos and upload them […]

This week the LG G2 was revealed by the company as a flagship smartphone “Learning from You” – so how does that translate to these new back-facing hardware buttons? What you’ve got here is a smartphone with a 5.2-inch display, one that takes up nearly 80% of the front of the device. There’s no room […]
While we were growing up, you had to take things apart to find out how they broke worked. Big Shot camera sets about things the other way around, coming in kit form to help kids learn exactly what goes into making a camera tick. It’s been in the prototype stage long enough for its initial audience to have almost grown up, but none the less it’s finally available to buy. The $89 camera has a 3-megapixel sensor, a 1.4-inch LCD screen, plus three lenses for different shooting modes (normal, 3D and panorama). Big Shot’s inventor, Prof Shree Naya, has a similar vision to other educational products like the Raspberry Pi and OLPC, where he hopes that if enough sell, he can send some off to children with less resources. That was probably on Naya’s mind when he decided to add a hand crank for human-powered operation, making this the wind-up gadget for the Instagram generation.

Nikon’s Coolpix L820 30x lens camera debuted at CP+ in Japan earlier this year, and now the company’s adding another new superzoom to the family, the L620. This more compact flavor drops the focal range significantly — its 14x optic can snap from 25mm to 350mm — but boosts the CMOS sensor to 18.1 megapixels, supporting a maximum sensitivity of ISO 3200. This entry-level model was designed with beginners in mind, with multiple scene modes and an auto mode representing the most notable shooting options, and effects like Quick Retouch and Skin Softening enabling on-the-go enhancements. There’s also optical image stabilization, a 3-inch LCD and 1080p video capture with stereo sound. The Coolpix L620 is expected in stores in September with a $250 MSRP.
Nokia has thrown down the gauntlet to the iPhone 5, with a new commercial that pits Apple’s smartphone against the Lumia 925‘s camera and – so the plucky Finns claim – finds Cupertino’s finest left wanting. The advert, promising “Better Photos Every Day”, shows side-by-side comparisons taken on the iPhone 5 and the Lumia 925, […]
