Before CES there were rumors that we would see a Kodak-branded mobile device at the show, but those who were expecting an innovative, imaging-centric gadget have been disappointed. The Kodak IM5 is simply a nondescript, mid-tier Android smartphone with the Kodak name slapped on it in an attempt to attract customers who still associate the brand with quality and innovation.

* Bigger Sensors will have better SNR / High ISO performance (but that’s all electronics, nothing to do with optics). * Bigger sensor will produce more heat inside the camera body, so will be more difficult to design for applications, where high readout is required, like video, higher burst rate, electronic shutter etc. * And less significant factor (subjective) is the Dof will be shallower on FF which can be advantage or disadvantage depending on your applications. Portraits (maybe) advantage, in Landscape (arguably) disadvantage...

read moreHow I Replaced the Shutter in My Canon 5D Mark II By Myself and Saved $400
The shutter on my old Canon 5D Mark II died while on a trip to Fiji earlier this year. It happened quickly; I was shooting a panorama when horizontal black bars started appearing in some of the shots. After about 10 more photos in between turning the camera off and on again, it was dead. The shutter was stuck closed and powering the camera on yielded a helpless sounding soft ‘clunk’ and an “Error 20″ message. I was quoted around $500 to get this fixed at a repair shop. But.. an OEM replacement shutter is only $90 on eBay. So,...

It’s the world’s thinnest 3x optical zoom smartphone. ASUS says it took careful engineering to get a 10-element lens into a phone that thin. The lens has an aperture of f/2.7 to f/4.8 and sits in front of a 13 megapixel sensor. There’s also an optical image stabilization system that stabilizes your photo and video capturing.
