Truly Handy Cam

Posted on by

Apart from the complex technical know-how required to use a camera, you’re also supposed to be physically stable and nimble with your hands. Even as someone with full use of my own, I can barely manage all that! With its flexible viewfinder screen, the ergonomically designed Inclusive Digital Camera makes it easier (especially for those with dexterity setbacks) to shoot from a more comfortable, wrist-supported waist height. Perfect for shooting motion or long durations for anybody from the eldery to beginners.

The Inclusive Digital Camera lens can rotate at 90 degrees, from landscape to portrait mode, to ease wrist and finger movement. Integrating four high-powered flashes to offer an exceptional 360-degree flash, the compact camera automatically rotates the screen interface to switch between landscape and portrait modes. Mounting the screen up to 90 degrees to allow wider shooting angles, the Inclusive Digital Camera is suitable for both right and left handed users, as it locates the capture and zoom buttons on either side to let the user operate camera with one hand in a natural resting position.

Powered by a lithium ion battery, the new digital camera makes use of induction charging to charge the battery. Resting elegantly in a sleek docking station, the ergonomic camera offers Bluetooth connectivity to move photographs to your computer wirelessly with the built-in memory.

Wi-Fi Samsung Galaxy Camera Cuts the Cord for Real

Posted on by

Samsung launched the original Galaxy Camera several months ago. The camera was interesting because it promised high-quality photographs and had integrated LTE connectivity from some major wireless carriers within the United States. That integrated wireless connectivity meant that you could upload photographs to cloud-based storage or your favorite social networking site on the go.

Unfortunately, it also meant that in addition to buying the camera, you had to maintain a contract and service with wireless carrier. A lot of people liked the idea of having a camera that allows you to directly upload photographs, but weren’t interested in paying for another data plan. That’s where the Samsung Galaxy Camera with Wi-Fi comes in.

The camera has the same features as the original, including a 21X optical zoom lens, 16 megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor, and a 4.8-inch 1280×720 rear touchscreen LCD. It runs the Android 4.1 operating system and requires no data contract instead using only Wi-Fi networks. The Samsung Galaxy Camera Wi-Fi model will be available to purchase in the US later this month for $449.99 (USD).

The camera promises support for lenses with a maximum aperture of f/8 and the camera has a 51-point autofocus system for quick and accurate focusing. One of the interesting features of the camera is a 1.3x DX crop that provides the photographer with increased zooming. It also has the ability to shoot continuously at up to seven frames per second. In addition to stills, the D7100 can record 1080 60i/30p resolution HD video, a nice improvement over the 1080/24p of the previous-gen D7000.

The camera also features a new Spot White Balance option and a high-performance optical viewfinder providing 100% frame coverage. The rear LCD screen is a 3.2-inch unit, offering 640×480 resolution. The camera has dual SD memory card slots and an integrated pop-up flash.

The camera ships on March 21, 2013, and is available to pre-order right now for $1199.99 for the body only, or $1599.99 with an 18-105mm zoom lens. For more details on the D7100, DPReview has a detailed hands-on preview here.

Raspberry Pi Developer Board Gets a $25 Camera Module

Posted on by

If you’re the sort of tinkerer that enjoys making projects using devices like the Raspberry Pi, a new hardware product has been announced. Raspberry Pi has announced the availability of a new digital camera module for the low-cost computer-on-a-board. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is mum on the technical hardware details for the camera module.

pi cam

The sensor used in the digital camera module is rumored to be five-megapixels, but that is unconfirmed. The module can record HD resolution video and the foundation expects users will take advantage of the camera module for robotics, home automation, and perhaps aerial applications. At only $25, the camera sensor won’t break the bank, and may be usable in projects where the sensor is at risk of damage where users might not consider a more expensive option. That said, the camera is still nearly as expensive as the $35 computer itself.

It’s unclear exactly when the camera module will launch. Currently developers are working on drivers and hardware interface for the camera module with the Raspberry Pi developer board. “The picture quality is ‘pretty good’ at the moment, but we’re hoping to get it to ‘bleedin’ marvelous’ before we release the hardware,” the foundation said.
