It has been a while since we covered anything by VholdR, the “big little camera”. The company has recently announced the ContourHD 1080p, and it appears to be made for those that want to strap a camera on their head.
It certainly is light enough at 4.3 ounces, and records video footage on microSD cards. The battery life is sufficient for 2-3 hours per charge.
Are you rather bored at work that you can’t seem to find an impetus to step up your game or offer something new to the organization? Guess you might want to fill up your time with the 1.3-megapixel Portable Digital USB Iriscope for PC & Iridology Camera then, where it will hook up to an available USB port, capturing an image of your iris using the capture software for fun. Of course, modifying it through a graphics editing program might just yield some unusual results especially when you apply a wide range of filters available, but those who want to know about their health status might just see what the included software says through analyzing your iris. Heck, you can even be the toast of your department by running a private personal clinic during lunch break, giving out diagnosis one after another with the most frequent one being, “You’re in the wrong job” so that you have the chance to be top dog soonest possible without any competition left hanging around. Impossible? Best find ways to make back the $120.69 you spent on this, then.
No idea how many people still take photos using a non-digital camera these days, but assuming you run into someone who pulls out an ancient photo album and find something you like? Instead of snapping a photo of it with your digital camera, there is always the Portable Photograph To Digital Picture Converter to help you out. It will offer a superior image quality compared to a snapped image, and works without having to be connected to a computer at all.
The device’s twin rollers gently accept prints up to 4″ x 6″ and scan them at up to 1800 x 1200 resolution, quickly converting each photograph into an individual, high-quality JPEG digital picture file which is saved onto your preferred memory card. The converter supports CF, MS, MS-Pro, MMC, XD, and SD memory card formats – the included 512MB SD card can store up to 250 pictures at the highest resolution. Once stored onto a memory card, you can transfer your pictures to a computer for additional editing as you desire using the built-in USB port and cable. Powered by its included AC adapter.
Expect the Portable Photograph To Digital Picture Converter to retail for $119.95 from Hammacher, although we’re not too sure just how many people are going to tote these around. After all, normal photos have been out of vogue among the consumer class for quite some time now, right?
The JOBO GPS data logger goes right where it belongs, on your camera.
Most photo gps data loggers sit in your pocket. But the JOBO photoGPS fits right where it should – on top of your camera, thanks to your hot shoe. And like all other GPS data loggers, it logs it’s GPS location every few seconds. Then, after a days photography, the included software marries the JOBOs GPS data with the EXIF photo data of each picture.
With the world heading full steam ahead into the full High Definition frenzy, it goes without saying that camcorders and digital cameras are next on the list most likely to see full HD standards stamp its authority in that department. Toshiba has announced that three of their new camcorders from the Camileo range will feature full HD resolution, where they are known as the Camileo S20, Camileo H30 and Camileo X100 models. Just to whet your appetite on their standout points, the Camileo S20 is tipped to be one of the slimmest HD camcorders in the world, while the Camileo H30 will bring together functionality alongside ease of use. As for the high end X100 model, you will benefit from a powerful 10x optical zoom.
For those of you in larger families, there’s not always just one camera for the household. It being just me within mine, even I have two different types of cameras. Which makes charging them up a little obnoxious. Personally, I’m getting tired of trying to remember which cord goes with which camera. Well instead of putting yourself through all of that nonsense, you could pick up this universal camera charger that not only simplifies your life but is capable of charging your camera in an eco-friendly manner.
The world's first open source camera?
Makers are trying to make the digital camera much like the personal computer, something to tinker and custom build with parts taken from here or there to get just the right combination for the kind of pictures you want to take. But will it fly?
Panasonic has just introduced its latest LUMIX family member – the DMC-GF1, where it is touted to be the smallest and lightest system digital camera in the world to feature a built-in flash. What makes the LUMIX DMC-GF1 different from its predecessors would be an elegant, compact design that does hark back to the older days of classic film cameras, although it boasts state of the art innards by building upon Panasonic’s success with the revolutionary LUMIX G Series of digital interchangeable lens system cameras based on the Micro Four Thirds system standard.
