If you have ever dabbled in the assembly of IKEA’s post-modern Scandinavian furniture and wondered what types of DIY concoctions could possibly be forged from the residual cardboard, rejoice! IKEA has saved you the leg-work and contrived the idea of crafting a cardboard digital camera dubbed “IKEA KNÄPPA“, capable of storing 40 images via an internal USB, powered by two AA batteries.
Canon has officially announced a refresh of sorts to their G-series line of advanced point and shoots today with the PowerShot G1 X. Now packing a larger micro 4/3rds trumping, 1.5-inch (18.7 x 14mm) CMOS sensor, nearly reaching APS-C size, the G1 X promises much better low light sensitivity and the depth of field control that’s rarely seen from a point and shoot.
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.”
Deal Alert – As the holiday season kicks into full gear, the amazing camera deals continue to surface almost on a daily basis. Today’s offering comes by way of a 46% discount on the competent point-and-shoot from Panasonic, the Lumix LX5. Amazon is currently listing the compact for $269.00, which translates into savings of over $230!
As with most holiday season promotions, there is no telling how long these deals will last. Check on the image below to be redirected to the product detail page:
A New York native scurrying home through the crowds of tourists, a small child clinging to the arms of his mom unsettled by roars of cars zooming by, fellow photographers enjoying the picturesque night and capturing the scenery, one shutter click at a time. These are just some of the sights experienced through the lens of the Fuji X100 this past weekend on the 1.1-mile structure that connects Manhattan with NY’s most populous borough – the Brooklyn Bridge.
Deal Alert – There sure hasn’t been a lack of camera offers this holiday season so far, as more and more deals are beginning to make their way to the market. That trend continued today with amazing savings spotted on Amazon pertaining to the Nikon Coolpix P7000. The competent point and shoot can be picked up for $279, over 44% off its list price.
Due to the volatility of online sales, there is no way to be certain of how long these holiday deals will last. Be sure to act fast if this particular item is on your most wanted list.

Overshadowed by today’s announcement of the new Lumix DMC-GX1, Panasonic also quietly unveiled the world’s smallest duel-lens 3D camera, the Lumix 3D1. Packing two 12mp 1/2.3-inch sensors held behind dual 25-100mm optical zoom lenses, the point-and-shoot can capture 2D and 3D images and 1080/60i HD video simultaneously by way of the lenses ability to focus and zoom independently of each other, even granting the ability to capture photos or video at different angles of view. What’s more, the 3D1 touts a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, ISO sensitivity range of 100-6400, and a continuous burst rate of 8fps in full-resolution. The Panasonic 3D1 will hit store shelves this December for $499.99.
Be sure to get the low-down on specification details, and comb through the Panasonic 3D1 press release below:
Leica first graced us with a titanium version of their legendary M9 rangefinder earlier in the year to the envious eyes of those who couldn’t bear the thought of that $30,000+ price-tag. For our friends with shallower pockets, Leica has blessed their cheapest, relativity speaking, point-and-shoot camera, the D-Lux 5 with all the luxurious treatments found in its older sibling.
Is it a flashlight? One of those handy-dandy laser pointers? The realization of the mind-eraser from Men in Black!? No, none of the above, but it is the new piece of camera technology poised to take the photographic world by storm.
Lytro, the Silicon Valley start-up pioneering light-field technology, finally unveiled the first camera to contain such abilities. The tiny, rectangular point-and-shoot boasts 8X zoom lens with a constant f/2 aperture, up to 16GB of internal memory, and an 11 mega-ray Lytro sensor, capturing eleven million rays of light. A mega-ray is the new measure of which a light-field camera captures the direction, color, and intensity of available light, and its in the manipulation of that light where the Lytro cameras main selling point lies.
