iPhones, BlackBerrys and other smartphones have made it remarkably easy for us to share photos on sites like Facebook and Flickr. But they've made it a lot easier for cyberstalkers to track us, as well. That's because many digital photos contain a kind of encoded data known as Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF). This type of data is often used by professional photographers, since it reveals ...

As DSLR fanatics, we've been quietly and happily singing the death of point-and-shoots for a while now, but CES and Casio have brought news of a pocket-sized camera that verily throws our entire photographic belief system into question. Behold the Tryx, a piece of Transformer ingenuity that boasts three different configurations -- although, really, the possibilities are kinda endless. The ...

Share We always thought that the rise of digital photography would, at one point or another, render film obsolete. According to Kodak, however, we (and virtually everyone else) were all wrong. As Wired reports, the iconic film company is enjoying something of a counterintuitive renaissance in this digital age, as sales of color film remain strong, and black-and-white film sales are actually ...

You might not realize it, but you live everyday with an arbitrarily imposed, but very real limitation on the quality of digital images. Russell Kirsch created the first digital image, over 50 years ago, when he scanned a photo of his then infant son (on the right in its original size). When deciding how to render the ones and zeros, Kirsch decided on the seemingly logical choice at the time -- ...

If there's one thing Hollywood has taught us, it's that the Earth will most likely be destroyed by a flaming rock from outer space. Luckily, researchers are hip to this idea. According to Space.com, a massive telescope anchored in Hawaii houses the world's largest digital camera, which scans the sky for asteroids that could eradicate humanity. The PS1 telescope, which sits on a volcanic peak in ...

The Web is teeming with the unrealized ideas of both students and established designers who set out to produce astonishing renderings and prototypes for unusual products. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, money, or technology, many of those products never move from the planning stages to the mass market. But that doesn't mean we can't salivate over their creations, nevertheless. ...

The Photo Marketing Association (PMA) kicks off its annual convention on February 21st, so get ready for loads of new camera news. First out of the gates this year is Samsung, announcing its new top-of-the-point-and-shoot-line TL500. Priced at $449.99, the TL500 lands between the prosumer level of the DSLR and the point-and-shoot. This type of camera offers the advantages of full manual controls, ...

Panasonic announced a new digital still camera that will likely have you wishing your birthday was coming up soon. The FX500 has a high definition movie mode, a 10.1 megapixel image sensor, a 25-milimeter wide angle lens and 5x optical zoom, plus a touchscreen LCD -- a feature that has us rubbing our hands together and getting our index fingers ready for some serious touching. The HD movie mode ...

You know all of those extra megapixels you shelled out for when you bought your digital camera? Well, while the higher picture quality will certainly come in handy for running off prints of your more frame-worthy snaps, the bloated file sizes of your photos can be an e-mail killer. Most of the time, the photos coming off of our cameras are a few megabytes each, at least . Chain a couple ...

If you're anything like most people, you like to say you're going to do something, but rarely follow through. Some of us can't even remember to do simple things like take the photos off our digital camera and send them to people, much less share them on a site like Flickr or Picasa. Sometimes we're just too lazy or disorganized to find that dang USB cord tor memory card reader to transfer ...

Today Wal-Mart threw a grenade Best Buy's way with the announcement that the retail behemoth is adding a boat load of new electronics. On the TV side, more Samsung models will be available, as will sets by Vizio in the 26- to 42-inch range (this includes the 42-inch, sub-$1,000 Vizio VP42). Home-theater-in-a-box systems from both Sony and Phillips will be offered and stores will now have a ...

How often does this happen to you? You wake up after a long night of hard, hard drinking. Head hurts, you smell like a landfill and the guy from 'Memento' could do a better job than you of remembering what happened last night. You show up to work, check e-mail and find that a snap-happy friend has gone ahead and posted embarrassing -- and quite possibly criminal -- pictures of last night's ...
