We've met quite a few camera collectors in our day but few seem as passionate about their hobby as the subject of this short documentary clip titled, simply, "The Collector."

In the lovingly shot black-and-white video -- which was captured with a Nikon D800 and a bevy of Nikkor prime lenses -- the collector, who...

It's been more than a year now since Canon's PowerShot S100 first hit the market, but the company is still showing the premium compact -- and its owners -- some love with a new firmware update that aims to resolve control problems with the camera's lens ring. Much the same problem is also fixed in a simultaneous firmware release for the...

 

 

Adobe Photoshop Touch has been wildly successful on the iPad and Android tablets, and now the app has been redesigned for even smaller screens, in an edition specifically crafted for smartphones. Unsurprisingly named “Adobe Photoshop Touch for phone,” the shrunken version of the app packs the same controls as the...

 

 

Noell S. Oszvald does not want to be called a photographer, claiming she's "not yet one" in a message to Imaging Resource when we contacted her about her work. While the 22-year-old, Hungarian artist is, perhaps, being modest, the reaction to her surreal, black-and-white self-portrait photos has not been.

After...

It's one of the dark marks of the U.S. Government in the 20th century — a complete willingness to expose unwitting citizens to dangerous substances in the name of scientific advancement. It happened with the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, with the MKUltra mind control project and with the atomic bomb testing of the 1940s and 50s. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) knew that...

 

 

Let's say you want to learn a little more about how to use Photoshop -- and who doesn't need some extra help? -- but you can't get to your local photography store, school or learning center to take a class. Or let's say you're a struggling photographer who simply can't afford some of those classes in the first...

Washington Post photographer Tracy Woodward’s photo “State Champion” is a tremendous image of a High School wrestler triumphing over a downed opponent in a state wrestling tournament in Virginia. It was an image powerful enough to receive the Award of Excellence in the 2013 White House News Photographers Association "Eyes of History" contest. But that award has since been...

If you're shooting with a Fujifilm X-Trans-based camera, or a recent model that's not yet supported by Photoshop Camera Raw or Lightroom, there's good news from Adobe today. New release candidate versions of both applications aim to improve the quality of X-Trans demosaicing, and also add support for nine new cameras from Canon, Casio,...

Late last year, Denmark's Phase One A/S released a major update to its flagship imaging utility, Capture One Pro. Among other things, the new version brought a ground-up rethink of asset management, and an overhauled raw processing engine. Now, much of that flagship goodness trickles down to the company's consumer offering, the much more...

 

 

Pentax Japan's website has a new addition to its "Discontinued Model Lineup": the barely more-than-a-year-old Pentax K-01 compact system camera. Announced in early February 2012, the 16-megapixel K-01 immediately made waves with its unusual form factor, created by famed designer Marc Newson, and its compatibility...

 

 

A dispute between a photographer who runs a popular photo blog and a major fashion designer seems to have ended amicably with a big donation by the designer to the photographer's charity.

Brandon Stanton who runs Humans of New York, a blog that features his street portraits of New Yorkers, was incensed that...

 

 

Every year, the Imaging Resource staff has a lively debate about our favorite digital cameras of the year, and we've sometimes even shared our thoughts on the matter with readers. But we've never handed out formal awards to our top picks. That is, until now.

For our inaugural Camera of the Year Awards, we...

Last year's Sony Alpha NEX-F3 mirrorless camera revisited the earlier NEX-C3 design, adding both a built-in flash and a self-portrait friendly tilting LCD, but unfortunately also added significantly to the camera's weight and size. Now, the Sony NEX-3N -- recently launched in Europe -- has been unveiled in the US market, and while it's a...

The Sony RX1 has probably produced more excited commentary than any other camera announced in 2012. Having spent a good amount of time with it, we can say we're solidly among its fans, although our careful testing did reveal some shortcomings that have either been only lightly reported or not mentioned at all in other coverage. There's...

 

 

Ever wonder what life is like on Mars? Well, now you can experience it thanks to this mind-blowing, 360-degree Mars Panorama created by photographer Andrew Bodrov.

Called "Mars Panorama - Curiosity rover: Martian solar day 177," and posted on the 360Cities website, the interactive experience is a great way to...

 

 

Nikon has issued an official product advisory for an ongoing dust problem with some of its D600 digital SLRs. According to some D600 owners, the camera's 24.3-megapixel full-frame sensor accumulates dust or oil, which can show up in the corners of photos.

While the problem seems to lessen the more you shoot with...

 

 

Stealthy, super-secret spy cameras come in all shapes and sizes. Back in the 1800s, they looked like snazzy, metal pocket watches. More recently, digital spy cameras have been hidden in smiley face buttons or in a pair of sunglasses.

Now comes an analog spy camera embedded in something as innocuous and...

Back in late 2010, Nikon debuted the D7000, an enthusiast SLR that has since proven very popular. In some ways an evolution of the earlier D90, there was still enough differentiation to consider the Nikon D7000 to be the start of a new model line. Today that line is continued with a brand-new camera -- the Nikon D7100 -- sharing much of...

Sony announced a raft of new cameras and lenses in Europe yesterday including a new entry level DSLR -- the 20-megapixel Sony A58 that will replace both the A37 and A57 -- as well as the new entry level NEX-3N compact system camera. Sony also unveiled three new Cyber-shot compact cameras and two DSLR lenses. None of these products have been announced for the U.S. market.
