Look How Small Panasonic’s New 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens Is

On Monday, Panasonic announced its 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens for full-frame L-mount cameras with the tagline of "smallest full-frame macro lens." While that came with a stipulation of "with a focal length greater than 90mm," don't let that distract from how compact it is.

Hyper’s Thunderbolt 5 Dock Will Be Great When Computers Support It

Technology companies are busy showing off their latest and greatest products at CES this week and, as always, some of these new products look perfect for photographers and videographers. While Hyper's HyperDrive Next Thunderbolt 5 Dock may offer speeds current computers don't support, it is nonetheless an exciting debut.

Razer made headlines this week with a couple of cool prototypes, including the world's first triple display laptop codenamed "Project Valerie."

Vivitar Working on Interchangeable Lens Smartphone Add-On

Whatever you want to call the emerging category of camera/lens assemblies that snap onto a smartphone, there no doubt it's growing. Case in point: Sony's QX line and JK Imaging/Kodak's SL series will soon by joined by a Vivitar model that made a very quiet debut last week at CES.

Photos of the Nikon D4S That’s on Display at CES

One of the most simultaneously exciting and vague photography announcements to come out of CES this year was the official confirmation that Nikon's new flagship D4S is on the way. And even though very few details were revealed -- find out about those here -- attendees were given the opportunity to stare longingly at a D4S that the Nikon folks had brought with them to their booth.

Polaroid Ups Its Action Camera Game With Sporty New Models

Oh GoPro, the action cam crown must rest uneasy on thy sweaty brow. CES has been flush with announcements of new entrants in the wearable camera market, and now Polaroid joins the scrum with a handful of new models. (All manufactured by Polaroid licensee and troubled asset specialist C&A Marketing.)

Canon Shows Off the Inner Workings of Its Lenses in Cool CES Demos

Unfortunately, what with major changes at the helm and making sure that we hit 2014 running, we weren't able to make it to Vegas for CES this year. And I say unfortunately because, not only does it mean we'll have to wait a minute to get hands on with some of the new releases, but it also meant missing cool demonstrations like the ones you see above.

Panasonic and Leica Initiate Nocticron Line With Impressive 42.5mm f/1.2 Lens

Panasonic is looking to boost its appeal to high-end shooters with a new line of super-fast Leica lenses, starting with a 42.5mm f/1.2 model that was introduced Monday at CES.

The debut model in the newly dubbed "Nocticron" (was he a good Transformer or an evil Transformer?) line of glass is pitched as a portrait-friendly lens (35mm equivalent focal length of 85mm) for MFT Lumix cameras.

Fujifilm X100s Has Its Photo and Specs Leaked, Looks Identical to the X100

Earlier today, we shared a couple of leaked photographs of the soon-to-arrive Fujifilm X20, which replaces the X10 but looks virtually identical in appearance (except for the fact that it comes in silver in addition to black).

Not to be outdone, the X100s has gotten itself leaked as well. Photos and specs for that camera have emerged, and reveal that, like the X20, the camera is nearly identical in form to its predecessor.

Nikon to Announce Two New Mirrorless Cameras at CES 2013: The J3 and S1

The mirrorless camera market has been bustling with activity as of late. Rumors have already begun circulating that Canon will be releasing a viewfinder-equipped EOS-M sometime in 2013, Polaroid is working on a Nikon J2 lookalike, and CES is just around the corner, which means many camera makers will be taking the wraps off upgrades to their mirrorless lines.

The latest word from the world of Nikon is still a bit surprising, though: Nikon Rumors is reporting that the camera giant is going to add not one, but two new mirrorless cameras to its Nikon 1 line at CES 2013.
