My Canon PowerShot A510 takes surprisingly decent video for a still camera. And it makes sense, when you think about it, that video and still cameras would get closer and closer together. Now, Canon's new PowerShot TX1 combines them in...

Convergence strikes again! Ricoh's new camera is almost as cool as Samsung's HSDPA shooter and far, far cooler than their 180 degree rotating screen. Not that that's a particularly difficult feat to accomplish, mind you. Anyway, the Ricoh 500SE boasts...

The consensus going around is that the rotatable LCD screen on the Samsung i7 is totally ludicrous. Not so, my friends. The true usage? Viewing portrait mode photos. Duh. What? You could just turn the camera around? Oh, you make...

Digital cameras seem to be the norm nowadays, but there are still some holdouts; people who refuse to spend more than ten bucks on a camera. These folks suffer from a rare for of dementia known as "disposabilitis." We can't...

Most of us have cameraphones, but how many of us can say that we have phonecameras? Samsung's new VLUU i70 (translation from Korean) doesn't just boast a 7 megapixel resolution, it totally rocks the 3G HSDPA connectivity. That's right: it's...

Why, hello there. It's been far too long, Gadgetboxers. I'd love to discuss where I've been for the past week, but well, it's not for me to say. There were spies, you see, and girls, and gadg—okay, I spent my...

LCD picture frames seem to pretty much a dime a dozen. So when one comes along with an interesting twist, I'm all ears. The eStarling frame is Wi-Fi-enabled (802.11b/g), boasting the ability to subscribe to an RSS feed on Flickr...

I enjoyed my cameraphone...for about fifteen minutes. I barely use it nowadays—it's handy, but the pictures it takes are just too grainy. But the quality of cameraphones is constantly increasing. However, the one thing that they might be stuck with...

My friend's husband insists upon taking pictures of the two of them with a camera held at arm's length. I swear, photos from this perspective account for more than fifty percent of pictures of the couple. So for Christmas, maybe...

One of the most important pieces of advice for taking better pictures with your digital camera is to use a tripod. But many of us casual photographers don't want to log around a bulky metal contraption when we just want...

I confess that when it comes to photography, I'm probably about as far from Ansel Adams as you can get. Up until recently, I thought an f-stop was some sort of invective hurled at the driver in the car next...

I've had a few business cards in my day, but all have been pretty staid; my name, a logo, some contact info. Sure, they're useful, but they're not necessarily eye-catching. Photoprinters have meanwhile become cheaper and more efficient, but what...

A blind camera isn't a gadget you can buy right now, and I doubt it's something that anybody would ever really spend money on, but it's far too fascinating to not inform our faithful Gadgetbox readers about it. The device...

I'm with John Gruber on this one. The "slimming" effect that HP is building into their new digital cameras is pretty disturbing. But despite that, I'm curious to see whether, as I'm thinking, it's going to sell these cameras. Body...

I was obsessed with spy gadgets when I was a kid. Now that I'm an "adult," that obsession has been replaced with one for fancy electronic gadgets. But it doesn't mean that I don't still yearn for my days as...
