  • Nokia Head of Design Marko Ahtisaari talks about priorities, competition, and future direction

    Nokia Head of Design Marko Ahtisaari talks about priorities, competition, and future direction

    Marko Ahtisaari will be a familiar name to Dopplr users, being both the CEO and one of the major investors in the startup's social networking software. Having been acquired by Nokia in late September 2009, his team now works to help Symbian regain its world-conquering ways while Marko himself has returned to Nokia to helm its Design group -- an outfit that, judging by the world's disappointment with the N97 and other devices, is frankly in need of some fresh ideas. So, when we were invited to meet him this morning for a journalist get-together where Marko hoped to "begin the conversation" about Nokia's future direction, we grabbed our pen, paper and DSLR and rushed off to go have a listen. The camera came in use when we got to handle a Nokia N8 prototype for the first time, but do join us after the break to see what else we learned.

  • DIY: Wooden DSLR shoulder mount

    DIY: Wooden DSLR shoulder mount

    Most shoulder mounts for DSLR video are strange metal and carbon fiber contraptions, which work I guess. But what if you want something a bit more organic, something that you can make yourself. Here's a shoulder mount that was constructed from a single piece of wood.

    Review: Olympus E-PL1 micro 4/3 digital camera

    This is the year of Micro Four Thirds. While Nikon and Canon still haven’t dipped their toes in this pool, I think it’s time for the average camera user to look at these things seriously and the power and elegance captured in the E-PL1 – and the affordability captured in its $599 price tag. Features: 12-megapixel [...]

  • Nikon developing a Canon G11 rival?

    Nikon developing a Canon G11 rival?

    The Canon PowerShot G series have always been one of the best compact shooters available. See that pic above? I shot that back in 2003 with a G3. Beautiful, isn't? That's Camp Tapico in Northern Michigan, where I spent every summer of my teenage life. Anyway, word on the street is that Nikon wants some of the action that the G series has enjoyed all by itself for so long. Better late then never, Nikon.

    New Gorillapod uses rare earth magnets, sticks to your car

    Gotta love Gorillapod. They've taken a concept, perfected it, and then ran with it in all kinds of ways that most people never expected. The most recent addition to the family is the Gorillapod Magnetic.

    Quick release $14 camera belt clip

    Oh man, the unapologetic nerdacity of this product is through the roof. Yet somehow it seems useful and practical. Trying to get a DSRL camera out of a bag packed full of gear isn’t exactly an enjoyable exercise, but neither is walking a conference floor all day with your camera dangling around your neck like a lead balloon.

  • Does a frozen camera improve its ISO capabilities? 4Chan says so.

    Does a frozen camera improve its ISO capabilities? 4Chan says so.

    Please, take this advice lightly. It came from the bowels of 4Chan, after all. But it seems that a user froze his Sony A350 DSLR and actually got better results when shooting at ISO 3200. The results he posted seem to validate his results, but once again, this is from 4Chan home of everything that is vile, rotten and antisocial on the Internet.

  • Google Nexus One stands with iPhone and Hero, interface gets a 5-minute walkthrough

    Google Nexus One stands with iPhone and Hero, interface gets a 5-minute walkthrough

    The Google Nexus One trickle continues. Today's two menu items include a 5-minute demonstration of the Android 2.1 interface -- shaky, sure, but it's a pretty thorough rundown of all the menus. We're also serving up some low-resolution picture comparisons of the Nexus One laying side-by-side with the iPhone and HTC Hero. It still eludes us how all these leaking parties don't seem to have in their possession a decent DSLR or camcorder (feel free to give us a buzz, we'll gladly help out). Video after the break.

    Review: Shutter Buddy

    So we got a Shutter Buddy a few days ago and we gave it a try. What’s a Shutter Buddy, you ask? Well, it’s kind of a satellite dish looking thing that you attach to a point and shoot. It fits over a DSLR, but not quite as well as you’d expect. You waggle the camera [...]
