by NS_Photography
Apr 30th 2012 - 0 comments

Not so much a “leak” as the proverbial flood gates opening, earlier today the Chinese website Yangcanggih released what amounts to a full gallery of both the new NEX-F3 and A37 cameras, giving Sony fanboys (and girls) plenty to get excited over. The pictures confirm many of the previous rumors: the NEX-F3 does have a pop-up flash, [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/46/50/17/465017.jpeg[/IMG]

Apr 30th 2012 - 0 comments

With Nikon rumored to be working on the D600 as an entry-level full-frame for later this year, it’s only right that Canon jump into the fray as well, and jump they have (maybe). Rumors that Canon has had a new entry-level full-frame in the works began circulating at the end of March, and now we’re hearing [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/46/49/85/464985.jpeg[/IMG]

Apr 30th 2012 - 0 comments

The Afghan box camera, or kamra-e-faoree as it’s called in Afghanistan, is a humble creation that has served its purpose well for many years. We say humble because the “camera body” consists of a wooden box, the “focusing apparatus” is a metal shaft attached to a piece of wood, and the “shutter” is controlled by removing [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/46/48/84/464884.jpeg[/IMG]

This video, done by The Camera Store with help from Roth and Ramberg, is sure to stir up some controversy. One side will say that 35mm couldn’t possibly compete with medium format, while the other will point out that the price difference makes the whole debate moot. In a way, they’re both right; but this [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/46/44/66/464466.gif[/IMG]
