Cameraman puts iPhone 6 and professional broadcast camera to the test

Smartphone cameras have improved a lot over the past few years, and that makes it easy to forget just how much more they still need to improve. Something that is clearly shown by comparing a iPhone 7 with a professional broadcast TV camera.

Lumera adds WiFi and smartens your old DSLR

After getting used to instantly share a photo we took with our smartphone, using a DSLR camera requiring you to connect a USB cable to your computer or dealing with memory cards seems something akin to the old photo developing day where we had to wait for our photos to become ready. But Lumera wants to change all that and give a new, smarter life, to your old DSLR.

SJ4000 - a "GoPro" camera for half the price

When someone mentions "action cams" the first thing that will pop to everyone's minds will be GoPro. But if you simply want to play around from time to time, spending nearly €400 (or more) on a high-end camera won't seem too appealing. What if you could do the same for less than €100? That's precisely what you can with this SJ4000 Full HD camera.

Apple is readying interchangeable lens system for the iPhone

More and more people are using their smartphone as main cameras. But smartphones have size constraints that limit them to small image sensors and - worse still - small lenses. Apple is working on a interchangeable lens system for the iPhone that might change all that in the no so distant future.

There have been after market lens attachments for smartphones, but they're almost always awkward to use. If Apple comes up with a integrated, easy to use, lens attachment system, that could be a turning point in the way we look at cameras... and smartphones as cameras.

While the system depends makes the lens ring protrude from the back, it might be interesting to notice that it would  go inline with what we've been seeing for the iPhone 6 design with the raised lens ring similar to what we have in the ultraslim iPod touch. I imagine that attachment ring could even be spring loaded and stay closer to the case until you actually attach a lens.

It would be a nice way to appeal to all those that wish to do more serious photographs/video with their smartphones, but without carrying an extra camera - nor having to deal with the issues of a "non-smart" camera (with your smartphone you can easily edit photos and video, share it with friends, etc.)

All that we need to figure out if this will become a "useless" feature that people might have and never use... or if it may be the beginning of a new era where smartphones intend to battle the bigger DSLRs just as they did the compact cameras.

New HTC One will have two back cameras

HTC may be going through a rough patch, but it seems determined to get back into the game. Their upcoming new flagship models seems to have something that we haven't seen yet: two cameras in the back.

At first, I thought (feared!) it would be yet another 3D camera gimmick. But the different sized cameras makes me think that's not the case, at least not primary motive (for that, we would expect to have two similar cameras - although even with different spec cameras they'll still be able to create Lytro style 3D images. One could also speculate maybe it would be something like FLIR's thermal vision module; which would be interesting, but not immediately appealing for most people in a consumer produtc (not to mention the added cost).

So, we'll need to hope it's some kind of enhanced low-light sensor that can take pictures in the dark (something like that color night vision camera would be amazing!) and that will make HTC stand out from every other device on the market.

We also get dual-tone color flash like we have on the iPhone 5S for improved natural looking colors even when you use the flash. But the key part is: what is HTC up to with its two back cameras in this new HTC One? We'll find out soon!
