Here’s an image of the world’s first digital camera invented by Steven J. Sasson under the supervision of Eastman Kodak in 1975. [via]
The camera was heavy, weighing in at 8-pounds and taking about 23 seconds to record an image and another 23 seconds to read the image from the digital tape. [...]

Wow, I had no idea that Canon had an online camera museum up on their website.
The Canon Camera Museum is pretty detailed. It shows the evolution of various Canon products including film cameras, film camcorders, digital cameras, and digital camcorders. It’s interesting to see how the camera bodies have changed and improved over time.
The camera [...]

“Camera 05″ - 8×10 made with carbon and aluminum parts
I have a love-hate relationship when it comes to shooting large-format. On one hand, I love the quality of the images that results from shooting large-format (plus the ability to correct for distortion without having to go into post-production), but at the same time, I hate [...]

The Casio Exilim EX-F1 is set to be released in Japan on March 28, 2008.
I’m excited because YouTube will become so much more interesting after that date. Whee! Slow-motion everything!

Awesome. Look at those blades just rip through that tomato!
This video was shot at 2000 fps with a Photron ultima APX. Man, that’s just impressive. What’s even better is that the full resolution clip from Lucid Movement is an astonishing 1024×1024!
I want a camera that can capture video at a high frame rate!

Yesterday I bought a Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod. I needed a really good tripod that would be versatile enough for large format cameras as well as SLR cameras. After looking around for a bit, I decided that this Manfrotto tripod was the best choice for me.

Click the image above for hi-res version
I’ve found myself taking a lot of wide-angled photos lately. Well, attempting to at least. A Canon EF 17-40mm wide-angle zoom lens should be pretty nifty. Yes, f/4.0 isn’t much of an opening, but that isn’t anything a proper flash setup won’t fix.
Peep PBase for sample photos taken with [...]

I didn’t notice this when the official press release was let go, but apparently, the new Canon EOS Rebel XSi comes with a EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS. Yep, that’s “IS” as in Image Stabilizer. Pretty cool, huh!
From what I can recall, I don’t think any camera in this line from any other company comes with an [...]
