Ricoh GR DIGITAL II
November 2, 2007
Ricoh has just announced the follow-up to its GR DIGITAL camera with the cleverly named GR DIGITAL II. The camera actually uses a fixed focal length lens which sets it apart from other P&S cameras on the market. The lens is the equivalent of a 28mm on a 35mm camera, with a maximum focal length of F 2.4.
As a result the camera is specifically designed for landscape and other wide-angle photography. In fact it even includes an electronic leveler for keeping your shots horizontally or vertically level, which is important for that type of photography. An on-screen bar shows which way the camera needs to be tilted to make it level, or an audible signal can be used if you’re looking through the optical viewfinder and can’t see the LCD display.
Other improvements to the GR DIGITAL II include a new 10 megapixel sensor and the ability to shoot with a square frame to emulate 6×6 medium format cameras. Images can be saved as JPEGs or as RAW files straight from the sensor using the Adobe DNG format.
The camera should be available sometime in November for about $700.

Calculator Camera - Can Your DSLR Do That?
September 30, 2007
I think this is CHEEZY!
If you ask any professional photographer I’m sure they’ll tell you that the one feature today’s digital SLR cameras are missing is a calculator. So until Nikon and Canon get their acts together and start listening to what features their users really want most photographers will have to settle for this Digital Card Calculator Camera.
The calculator looks to be solar powered (even though the site mentions a 1.5V button battery) so there’s a chance it won’t drain the camera’s own battery and includes all the standard functions you’d expect to find on a crappy knock-off. The camera itself also benefits from cutting costs with a resolution of either 1280×960 or 640×480 and 8K of internal memory allowing you to store about 32 photos at the higher res. It connects to your PC via USB but you’ve only got v1.1 support for downloading the 8K of photos you took.
It’s currently available from CrimeBusters911.com which is ironic since the $69.99 price tag seems like a crime in and of itself.
