Xiaomi Yi Action Camera could compete with GoPro

What makes it interesting, not to mention newsworthy, is how Xiaomi's Yi Action Camera is able to keep up. The Yi Action Camera has the same features as a GoPro. They are made for built-in Wi-Fi for file transfers and remote control via … [Read more...] about Xiaomi Yi Action Camera could compete with GoPro
Two 360 cameras at CES Unveiled!
Last night at CES Unveiled, I began to notice trends. One of them was toward wearable technology, which I saw a lot of for last year’s CES. I also noticed that there was a lot of emphasis on a “Connected Home”, which I have also seen at CES in the past. Then I noticed something interesting: cameras that can film in 360. I suppose it was really just an offshoot of the … [Read more...] about Two 360 cameras at CES Unveiled!
Snapchat purchases Vergence Labs
I'm sure that you have heard of Snapchat, especially with that whole Snappening incident. For those of you who don't know, Snapchat allows the user to take a picture or send a message, and then these photos and messages are automatically deleted. I think it is interesting that Snapchat is quite popular, which means that there is a demand for self-destructing messages a la … [Read more...] about Snapchat purchases Vergence Labs

I think it is interesting that Instagram has really changed our mobile world, so much so that now cameras are adapting to it. Not the most people use cameras these days since they have gone to cellular phones. Polaroid, for example, has responded to this Instagram trend that will not end with the Socialmatic Instant Camera. Not only can you take pictures with its 14 … [Read more...] about Polaroid’s Socialmatic Instant Camera looks like Instagram Logo

Nixie is a drone that you can wear on your wrist for selfies
Intel recently had a contest for wearables, and one of the winners is the Nixie. Just to let you know, Nixies are shapeshifting water spirits from Germanic mythology, and I thought I would find that definition on a Google search. Instead, I found most results yielded a flying wrist bracelet drone that will shoot selfies. Yeah, this is pretty futuristic technology. The … [Read more...] about Nixie is a drone that you can wear on your wrist for selfies

Casio Exilim EX-FR10 Action Camera

The EX-FR10 has one extremely interesting feature as it is the only camera that I know that can detach its lens from its touchscreen. You can also join the … [Read more...] about Casio Exilim EX-FR10 Action Camera
Capture video in 360 degrees with the V.360 from VSN Mobil
The one thing that I have been looking forward to since last year is the Geonaute camera, which I first saw at CES in 2013 (yes, last year) and still haven't seen available for anything but pre-launch. The Geonaute has what I thought was a unique ability to shoot in 360 degrees, but it looks like VSN Mobil is going to get in on what will probably be a growing market with the … [Read more...] about Capture video in 360 degrees with the V.360 from VSN Mobil

New viral video trend: High-flying drone shots
This is another one of these articles where I saw this, but didn't feel a need to report on it until later on. I guess I just couldn't think of anything to report about, but this is really going to make your Friday. The video is essentially what would happen if Superman put on a GoPro camera. I don't know if you are familiar with a GoPro, but they are for those who … [Read more...] about New viral video trend: High-flying drone shots

Brazucam is a camera in a soccer ball
With the FIFA World Cup coming up, I would imagine that there are going to be a lot interesting products associated with that. This is what is called the Brazucam, and it involves six cameras put into one soccer ball. This is a 360-degree view of all the action on the soccer field, and I honestly don't really see a reason for it. Seriously, there is a video at my Source, … [Read more...] about Brazucam is a camera in a soccer ball
