Leica is teasing us with a new camera to be announced on June 11, 2013. The new model is positioned between the Leica M and the X2 (awfully dubbed for this marketing campaign as the Micro M) and code named the “Mini M.” Let’s see: an APS-C image sensor, interchangeable lens, EVF.

Last month, Nikon shipped updated firmware for no less than eight digital SLRs, extending support for the impressive AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR lens that the company introduced last January. In the last few days, three more camera bodies -- the D700, D300, and D300s -- have been made compatible with that lens, while one of Nikon's compact Coolpix models has had an exposure bug squashed. The Nikon D700 and D300 date back to 2008, while the D300s arrived on the market in 2009 -- not quite as long-in-the-tooth as the oldest of the cameras updated... (read more)

Everyone knows Nikon's flagship professional digital SLRs are tough cameras, but how tough are they really? In our 2010 review of the D3S, we praised its "rugged construction with magnesium alloy body and full environmental sealing." Half the time, though, most photographers don't get close to pushing these cameras to their limits.

Some have predicted that the wearable computer -- which features a small built-in camera that can be activated simply by winking -- is the beginning of the end for any hope of privacy we might have beyond our doorstep. A future not unlike that in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is on the way, they suggest, with barely-noticeable cameras tracking and reporting upon your every move and action. The truth revealed in the the head-mounted Google Glass... (read more)
