The RED Digital Cinema Camera Company has only existed for a few years and yet the video cameras it designs and produces are already revolutionizing every industry that uses still or moving pictures. Most people don’t realize that many of the movies they’ve seen in the last few years have been filmed on RED cameras (like District 9, Gamer, Night at the Museum 2 and Angels & Demons), and RED has been winning over many filmmakers and photographers worldwide. Those familiar with the quality of RED cameras have been anxiously awaiting news about the EPIC-X and Scarlet cameras RED announced last year. Today the wait is over as the specs for EPIC-X and Scarlet showed up on a...

We’ve long had a gadget love affair with the Flip line of digital camcorders ever since the first blocky device came out. Since then we’ve had several iterations, and they’ve only gotten better with each revision. The latest version of the Flip MinoHD is no exception. The latest Flip is slimmer than its predecessors and holds more memory. Besides the obviously thinner profile, the MinoHD is still similar in design to the previous model. However, you’ll quickly notice the display screen on the back of the device is bigger than before. In terms of inches, the screen isn’t too much bigger (it measures 2 inches diagonally now), but it sure feels bigger, which...

With all the attention being forced upon 3D movies and videos lately, you can bet the camera industry is working on ways to match any resulting demand for 3D video cameras. Most 3D video creation processes either require two video cameras, a video camera with 2 separate lenses or a time consuming trick where you capture the same thing twice from 2 different vantage points. Sounds complicated, I know, but Sony has announced a new camera in development that will shoot full 3D video with a single lens. Not only that, but the new 3D video camera Sony is working on will have a frame rate of up to 240fps and have less problems with misalignment like you see in multiple-lens 3D film....

Sanyo’s newest Xacti DXM-CG11 improves on the already popular line of pocket camcorders. The new model will shoot 720p video and might even have built-in wireless. All we have to go off for now is a translated press release which isn’t always the most reliable source of information. So whether or not it does have Eye-Fi remains to be seen. Even if it doesn’t have Eye-Fi it still looks like it will be a pretty solid camera. It also has an HDMI connection and 5x optical zoom. It shoots stills at 4000 x 3000 and the battery lasts about 70 minutes. It will be available in Japan this September for $316 and hopefully in the US a little after that.   PS3 Slim Might Arrive...

Each new generation of pocket cams seem to get better and better. Kodak’s new Zi8 is certainly no exception. For only $180 you get full 1080p recording, image stabilization, and an SDHC card slot. Kodak seems to be eyeing a piece of that market share that the Flip Minos have enjoyed over the past year or so. This new camera does look to be better than the Minos (for now at least) so it will be interesting to see how the video quality is. Kodak says this camera will have improved low light performance and be able to track faces. It also has an external mic jack so you can connect your $500 external mic for better audio performance as well. The Zi8 will retail for $180 and will be...
