It would appear that the Samsung Galaxy NX is all-but revealed now that press photos have leaked in full, right on top of tipped information on specifications for release later this month.

If there’s one thing that’s keeping traditional analog film still alive, it’s Lomography’s relentless pursuit to keep the medium alive with unique cameras that always seem to bring a new approach to film photography. And this time around it’s introducing the Konstruktor: a $35 build-it-yourself plastic camera that gives photographers a crash course on how their soul-stealing device really works.

When it rains, it pours — we knew Pentax was due for new interchangeable lens cameras, but it just surprised us by unveiling three of them at once. The mid-range K-50 and entry K-500 DSLRs at the front of the pack represent slight upgrades to the 16-megapixel K-30 on the inside, with both gaining a higher ISO 51,200 sensitivity and Eye-Fi card support. They mostly differ on the outside. The K-50 keeps the K-30’s weather sealing, lithium batteries and extreme color customization; the K-500 caters to the budget crowd by going without weatherproofing, running on AA batteries and shipping only in black. Both bodies are available in stores this July, starting at $600 for a K-500 with an 18-55m kit lens and $780 for a similarly equipped K-50.

The smallest camera of the bunch, the Q7, may be the most intriguing. While the mirrorless body still shoots at the 12.4 megapixels of the Q10, it upgrades to a larger 1/1.7-inch sensor that delivers a big performance boost — sensitivity has jumped to ISO 12,800, and there’s faster autofocusing to boot. Pentax also touts a faster shot-to-shot time, better image stabilization and Eye-Fi support. The Q7 will cost the same $500 in kit form as its ancestor does today, although photographers will have to be patient when the tiny camera doesn’t hit retail until August.

BlackBerry 10 users haven’t had much control over their Facebook photo uploads — a big problem when they’re trying to organize their pictures later on. Thankfully, they can be a little more restrained as of the Facebook 10.2 update. The revision lets socialites both create albums on-device and upload directly to particular albums. After the fact, they can tag existing shots and toggle just which images they see. If you’re the sort whose Q10 or Z10 doubles as a primary camera, you’ll want to grab the update at the source link.
