I sat down to watch the Chase Jarvis and Zack Arias live interview session late one night last week. While I watched a recorded version of it, they were taking Twitter questions during the live stream. One question asked Chase whether The Best Camera app would be coming to Android. I don’t recall his exact words, but Chase’s response made it clear that The Best Camera is in the works for Android. No details of availability dates were spilled, and really, the comments about the app were just for a few seconds, but it appears to be on the way nonetheless.
I’m not sure where the video was at when Chase discussed this (it’s probably in the last 45 minutes or so), but feel free to add the time stamp in the comments if you catch it.
This is a pretty intense video that documents the disassembly and resurrection of a cheap Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens into a SuperMacro version of the same lens. It’s not for the faint of heart.
The Samsung NX10 is 14.6-megapixel camera offering an interchangeable lens design. The NX10 follows the Micro Four Thirds system from Olympus and Panasonic as a DSLR-like design without a bulky mirror and optical viewfinder. The NX10 uses a larger APS-C format sensor (with a 1.6x crop factor) as opposed to the Micro Four Thirds cameras (with smaller, 2x crop factor sensors).
The Samsung NX10 does a lot of things right in both form and function. To see how it stacks up against the competition, read on. [click to continue…]
This is just a snapshot in time, as Amazon updates its bestseller list on an hourly basis. It does provide an idea of what’s important to people though.
While Canon and Panasonic are dominating the top sellers on Amazon, there are a lot of other cameras that deserve attention as well. You can check out the cameras and gear I recommend over on Photography Bay’s page for Recommended Cameras and Accessories.
