Think of how much you love your iPhone. Now picture it with a Canon EF 70-200mm strapped to the front end. Did your heart just well up? 'Cause ours didn't. Yet, for Apple fanboy Jeremy Salvador, the idea of pimping out his iPhone with an adaptor to fit any Canon EF lens seemed too good to pass up. After buying an Owle iPhone mount, he decided that its array of built in excessiveness was not ...

Share Although film and TV markets are being shaken up by the low cost and high quality of DSLR cameras, many of the accessories still leave a bit to be desired. Cinema 5D reader Jonathan Clifford Berqvist worked with his father Erik to build a custom wooden shoulder rig from a single piece of wood. (Check out the video after the break.) The ingenious, handle-controlled follow focus allows the ...

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web. Just when we thought the ChatRoulette mashup well had gone dry, Paz Bernstein recorded himself painting ChatRoulette users and posted the result, 'ChatRoulette Speed ...

Since its launch in 2004, the video-sharing site Vimeo has chosen a very different path from the YouTubes and Hulus of the world. Cleaner and calmer, Vimeo puts its focus on ease of use, creativity and community. We dropped by its headquarters in New York City to speak with Blake Whitman, Director of Community and Product, about the site and its role in nurturing the explosion of HD content on ...

Share Canon's elegantly executed Digital Rebel T2i is one of those rare gadgets that inspire admiration and affection in a way usually reserved for humans. The T2i is a big upgrade from its predecessor, the Rebel T1i, which lost out to Nikon's D5000 when Switched recommended a beginner SLR (single-lens reflex) last summer. The new T2i incorporates a sensor nearly identical to Canon's popular ...

Share So, you've got your digital SLR, and you've got your lenses. And perhaps by now you've realized that carrying all of this gear is in and of itself a rather serious endeavor. When it comes to camera bags, every photographer has his or her own needs. There are so many variables, from where you're going to be shooting, to what kind of bag best suits your frame. There are the questions ...

In a pro photography world virtually owned by Canon and Nikon, Pentax's scrappy determination is admirable. Although it rarely grabs the headlines, this company consistently turns out well-built cameras at good prices. We're hoping that applies to the company's latest SLR, the Pentax K-7, which we got a hands-on look at earlier this month. Priced at $1300, it's priced against semi-pro cameras ...

Did you wake up Christmas morning to find a brand new point-and-shoot or dSLR camera sitting under the tree but not quite sure how to use it (or at least all those features)? Got the camera mode permanently set on 'auto?' Not quite sure what to do with white balance, ISO, and aperture? The folks over at digital Photography School have got you covered -- they've gathered together several ...

If you're anything like us, you're hands are a little shaky, thanks to years of manic video game sessions and text-messaging away on tiny keypads. If you're also a serious photographer, though, you're in luck, since Olympus' new top-tier digital SLR camera has some integrated technology that's aimed at those with shaky hands. The new Olympus E3 is the latest "prosumer" entry from Olympus, ...

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 ...

Earlier this week we brought you the handbag with a TV screen sutured onto it. But, another day, another LCD-enhanced fashion accessory! This time it's these $50 wallets from Brookstone (available for men and women) featuring a 1.4-inch display on the inside. Plug the wallet into your computer's USB port and upload as many as 55 photos of loved ones to bore strangers with. From Brookstone ...
