Canon PowerShot S100

While the iPhone 5 makes for a great camera, many still carry a point-n-shoot. The Canon PowerShot S100 replaces the very popular S95 model, and bests it in just about every way. At 12.1MP, with a 3-inch LCD, the PowerShot looks great and takes great photos. The Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor helps eliminate noise in low-light and makes the camera much…

VSCO CAM

So long as we're on the subject of nifty $0.99 camera apps, my current favorite is VSCO CAM from Visual Supply Co. Like most other photo-editing apps, VSCO CAM let's you snap a photo from within the app or import one from you camera roll. From there you can apply one of 10 different filters — 3 of which are black and…

Camera+ for iOS

While the iPhone 4S' camera hardware is pretty great for something you always have in your pocket, Apple's simple shooting software has left room for dozens of great apps to spring up. The winner in my book is Camera+. It has some great filters and borders, nice cropping tools and (most importantly) is super fast to launch and shoot. It can import…

Back in 2008, Panasonic was one of the first companies to introduce Micro Four Thirds cameras. Basically, a Micro 4/3 system — also known as a Mirrorless camera — is a world-class amalgamation between a DSLR and a pocket-sized…

ōlloclip

The ōlloclip was all the rage amongst our group at Macworld. They had a booth on the Expo floor and were completely sold out before lunch on the third day. I picked one up and have really be loving it. The macro and wide angle lenses are just great and make a the already stellar camera in the iPhone 4S that much…

Joby GorillaPod Hybrid — Camera and iPhone Tripod

My only camera is my iPhone 4S. Also, my only video camera is my iPhone 4S. After fabricating the world's worst camera mount to shoot a video I decided it was time to get a bit more official. I recently ordered this GorillaPod Hybrid tripod stand from Joby. I got the hybrid model because the head is ultra maneuverable an it has…
