I visited with Joby at the annual PhotoPlus Expo this year. In case you don’t know, Joby makes the gorillapod – a line of funky, Gumby-like, ball-joint mini-tripods. The original GorillaPod was a tiny bendy tripod for pocket point-and-shoot cameras. But over the past few years they’ve expanded to cover support for digital SLRs, iPhones, […]

You probably won’t be getting one of these tasty new $1700 Zeiss 25mm f/2.0 lenses for Christmas (or Hanukah, Kwanza, Festivus or even your birthday). But you very well might be scheming to buy one for yourself. Zeiss lenses are known for snappy contrast, super accurate color and wonderful manual focus feel. They’re especially popular […]

Last night, Canon announced two new professional, interchangeable lens video cameras. These aren’t the shoulder-mounted camcorders that most people think of when they think of high-end video. Rather, Canon’s new Cinema EOS System is based on the recent HD DSLR video revolution – digital SLRs that can also capture HD video. The main announcement was […]

It’s easy to get jaded when you write about digital cameras. The lifecycle of most is about 6 months and after a while they start to blur together. But when Canon introduces a new flagship EOS-1D body – especially one that’s supposed to replace the four-year-old top dog EOS-1Ds Mark III – I expect big […]

Sigma has announced pricing and availability for their new 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 OS II lens, an 11.1x zoom featuring Sigma’s OS Optical Stabilization. The new 18-200mm OS II also adds Sigma’s top-of-the-line FLD glass (“F” Low Dispersion) to the lens, which could make it the best 18-200mm lens on the market. I love image-stabilized 18-200mm zoom […]

Apple announced the iPhone 4S today. There’s been a lot of grumbling on the Internet about how the 4S isn’t much of an upgrade but I don’t agree at all. Although the number “5″ isn’t in the name and it looks like an iPhone 4, the guts of the new iPhone have been given a […]
