What is it about photo booths that never seems to go out of style? Hard to say, really, but these timeless, self-portrait devices are turning up in the strangest places, including one of the biggest public library systems in the world.

At Eastman Kodak, things are finally looking up for a long-troubled giant of the imaging industry. Nineteen months ago, the company that once dominated film photography finally filed for bankruptcy. Yesterday, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved its plan to reemerge as a leaner, meaner company with a...

 

 

TheQ Camera may not have much in terms of technical specs. It packs just a 5-megapixel sensor, and a 24mm equivalent, f/2.4 lens. But instead, what it does have, is a built-in 3G connection and a goofproof design, that means you can take it anywhere and share the images extremely easily.

TheQ Camera is available...

But the iPhone Photography Awards is a legit contest and the winning images for the 2013 competition are impressive. The ground...

We're all familiar with verbs, the words that indicate actions and states of being. They're all around us, and through the oft-mocked act of verbing, we add to their roster almost on a daily basis. Now, GPS maker Garmin has gotten in on the game with its cleverly-named VIRB action camera line, and it will doubtless be hoping to find its...

 

 

These days, it seems that even affordable pocket-sized point-and-shoot cameras are capable of capturing high-speed video footage. And while putting that speed in your pocket may be a recent development, the legacy of high-speed video goes back much further than that. In fact, as far back as the 1960s, cameras were...

 

 

Joby, makers of the ultra-popular Gorillapod flexible tripods, has announced two new small tripods, one each for compact cameras and smartphones,

Readers who've been interested in digital photography since the early days will no doubt remember its most infamous piece of vaporware: the Silicon Film EFS-1 Electronic Film System.

Shooting panoramas has probably never been easier. Many smartphones and consumer point-and-shoots include incredibly simple tools for stitching together a series of images into a broad panorama. But a concept camera from Queen's University's Human Media Lab would do that one better, using a flexible OLED to make a...

 

 

After eight years at the helm of one of the most buzzed about imaging businesses in the world, Jim Jannard says he's finally stepping down as the face of the Red Digital Cinema Camera Company. In a rambling, provocative "Final Post" on Reduser.net -- much like all of Jannard's posts on that forum over the years --...

 

 

Gareth Cattermole is a staff photographer for Getty Images, which means he's often on assignment, covering red carpets and celebrity galas.

In late July and early August each year, there's a free show in our night skies as planet Earth passes through debris left along the orbit of comet Swift-Tuttle. It's known as the Perseid meteor shower, and because of Swift-Tuttle's orbit, it's best viewed in the northern hemisphere.

Although the Perseids are set to continue through...

 

 

Earlier this year, we shared some amazing images showing Paris today versus how it looked in the early 1900s, thanks to a cool, interactive slider tool.

It's a Canon kind of morning, given the deals we've found today. If you're of the "red ring" persuasion, then you should be especially interested in today's gear discounts. Adorama has a crazy bundle for a 5D Mark III kit plus a powerful Samsung tablet, as well as solid savings on the fast 50mm f/1.2 L lens. We...
