Kodak’s Ektra is a smartphone aimed at photographers

I have to admit, this announcement has surprised me a little. Named the Ektra, after its classic 1941 rangefinder, it seems to hold one major difference. Well, aside from the fact that one’s actually a camera, and the other’s a smartphone. The difference is that this one appears to be Kodak in name only, being produced […]

Hasselbad breaks into the mobile photography market with the help of Motorola

Hasselblad seem to be going in some interesting directions lately. Between the world’s first medium format mirrorless camera, and their venture with DJI, the world was already quite impressed. This latest announcement, though, has me a little curious. Let’s start at the beginning. Motorola recently launched the Moto Z Droid phone. This phone allows for what are called […]

Microsoft just gave us the ultimate point & shoot app for phone photography

The promotional video for Microsoft’s new Pix app is very impressive. Sure, sometimes you want to get as much control as you can, so you fire up Camera+ or 645 Pro. Sometimes, though, you just want to bring up the app and grab a half decent snap. Now, Microsoft have now launched Pix, a camera application […]

Apple may be planning to enforce “No Photography” zone rules with newest patent award

With great power comes great potential for abuse. Back in 2011, Apple filed a fairly controversial patent, which would allow the cameras in their devices to be turned on and off at will by external forces. In theory, this would allow locations and venues that have “No photography” zones to enforce this rule more passively. Aimed […]
