If you have a few old vintage cameras that are collecting dust, you might want to do what Flickr user Jason Hull has done. Jason takes vintage cameras from the 1950s and 1960s and turns them into retro nightlights.

If you are in the market for a new action cam that can be worn or mounted for all sorts of sports activities, Swann has a new one you might like. The new camera looks a lot like the GoPro cameras already on the market with a key difference.

Panasonic just announced the new Lumix DMC-3D1, a dual-lens camera which can take high-resolution 3D images or simultaneously record stills and video footage.

If you have ever owned a Sony NEX interchangeable lens camera or select Sony DSLR cameras, you have looked into the viewfinder and been staring at a tiny display rather than seeing what the lens actually sees.

Today’s cameras are amazing things. They would seem like magic to the people who used the first cameras ever made. But maybe you don’t like today’s digital cameras/camcorders and want to make movies like in the old days.

If you find digital cameras too easy to use and too mainstream for your liking and wish that you could get an old Polaroid camera instead, then Urban Outfitters is the place to go. They are selling a limited edition of Polaroid cameras right now.

Earlier this year we featured a concept for an iPhone case called iShuttr that not only made the phone look like a camera but added camera functionality as well, such as a Xenon flash and shutter and zoom buttons.

Thanks to Mobile01, a Taiwanese forum, we can now see some photos of the new Panasonic GX1. The camera looks pretty good and this model is supposed to be the pro version of the GF Lumix line.

While people have been using their cellphones more and more for snapshots, it’s true that it’s hard to replace all of the capabilities of a dedicated camera with a smartphone. The new Samsung MV800 comes with a few distinguishing features, including a versatile flip screen, which makes it quite handy for taking shots of yourself and others.

One late night, while he was walking home, David Franklin passed by a dark alley and was accosted by three thugs. They tackled him and held him down. Then the leader of the group held him up against a wall with his shirt collar, and with a cigarette-damaged voice and a beer-soaked breath, screamed in his face, “How can archetypal furniture facilitate the sharing of memories?”

Halloween is just days away, so the number of cool, geeky costumes hitting my screen is starting to increase each day we get closer. So far, the early winner for the 2011 Halloween season is this Nikon D3 DSLR costume, which is actually fully-functional.

I was watching this show on TV the other day about the techniques that photographers used to capture some seriously awesome-looking shots. Most of them required the use of expensive accessories and bulky equipment, but the shots proved to be priceless.

I mentioned the Lytro light field technology a few months back, but I didn’t think that the tech would be in a consumer camera this soon. The Lytro camera is small, not that expensive, and it will most probably change the way that (at least some) people take photos.

There are a ton of gadgets out there that you can use and install in your home or office for some covert spying surveillance. The latest one to join that category is the iCharge charger that can record stuff while you leave your iPhone charging in your home or office.

Smartphones are great for snapping pictures, but what if you want the shot from more than one angle? Well, that’s what the Panoramic Ball Cam is for. It has 36 mobile phone cameras built in, so you can just throw it in to the air and capture 360-degree panoramic photographs.

I usually lug around a DSLR, but if I had something like this in my pocket, I might take loads more photos. The Minimo-X is the second generation of the Minimo camera, and it’s basically a toy camera, like many of the plastic ones already available.
