Chase Jarvis, the godfather of the sentiment “the best camera is the one that’s with you,” has put that practice to use in the latest DigitalRev pro photographer cheap camera challenge, which happens to be the season II finale for Kai Wong and the DR team.
The cheap camera in question? Well, the 3mp, built in flash, 1.5-inch LCD packing, infamous point and shoot from LEGO of course! And you thought those build-a-block toys were only for your little brother!
Quick News – Hoping to kick things off in style, Sigma has revealed, via their website, a new product(s) announcement planned for the first day of the PMA/CES 2012 show held in Las Vegas from January 10th – 13th 2012.
It’s that time of the week to take a step back from the industry news and showcase the incredible talent of our loyal readers. Hand selected from The Digital Visual Flickr Group, here are the selections for this round of The Week in Reader Photos.

The world can now sleep a little tighter this Christmas as Mr. Bloom himself has revealed his personal thoughts of the time spent with Canon’s EOS C300. I won’t do Philip the disservice of reintegrating his likes and dislikes, which have been covered thoughtfully in the video above, but hopefully his opinions of the camera won’t be met with the same backlash the prior review of the RED Scarlet was met with… Hopefully.
How about a little hint of nostalgia for all our film enthusiasts out there, something to remember pure-old days of yesteryear as we unwrap our digital goodies this holiday season?
The 1958 Dutch documentary piece below, perhaps even an instructional overview for Kodak factory employees, takes us through the complete production process of film, from the components needed to the quality control and packaging. Take a look:
Valentin Sama, founder of DSLR Magazine, has just revealed some interesting information on his personal blog, stating a Canon “Super-G” is being prepped to compete with the mirrorless camera market. It wasn’t mentioned whether this G-branded camera would in fact be Canon’s first leap into the mirrorless game, however, Sama’s report does correlate with a recent CanonRumors post, claiming the next Canon G would be a departure from prior models. No further details were given other than our first glimpse of such a camera could come as early as CES 2012 held in just a few week’s.
The one and only, Chase Jarvis, recently sat down with #1 Amazon and New York Times Best-Selling author, Ramit Sethi, to tackle the immensely important and often neglected business side of our corresponding creative fields. Whether you freelance, own a business, or plan on making a career in film or photography, the hour and a half long sit-down above is an incredibly, I stress, incredibly valuable resource for maximizing not only your worth as a creative, but also laying a foundation for future success. Truly a MUST WATCH!
According to the NPD Group’s new Imaging Confluence market research study, smartphones are beginning to take their first large bite out of the overall U.S. camera market pie, gaining significant traction this past year with the report stating: “The percent of photos taken with a smartphone (Apple iPhone or any other smartphone) went from 17 last year to 27 this year while the share of photos taken on any camera dropped from 52 percent to 44 percent.”
Another apparent leaked image of the Nikon D800 has surfaced, this time gracing us with a side profile, appearing to be consistent with the initial batch of released photos uncovered by NikonRumors around this time last month. The image was sent to the site by an anonymous source, so there’s no telling for certain whether it is in fact, legitimate. However, based on the similarities between all known photos, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to deem this particular shot as credible.
