SanDisk's turn to introduce 32GB Class 10 SDHC card

SanDisk chose the Photo Marketing Association show in Australia to debut its latest-generation SDHC card, as well as announce some much-needed rebranding. In August, the company will ship the new Class 10 32GB cards as SanDisk Extreme SDHC, simultaneously rebranding the current Extreme III line as simply Extreme. Which is what it used to be called.

I've ranted before about the FUD surrounding the whole SD speed and Class rating issue, and in response to articles like that, SanDisk's PR team included an FAQ (which doesn't seem to be available online) to clear up our seeming confusion.

Spy camera keychain won't open any car doors

Most car owners these days unlock their vehicles via a remote control, so this inconspicuous camera keychain probably won't attract much attention even when placed on the table.

It has a 1.3-megapixel imaging sensor and an astonishing 4GB of internal memory, which makes up for the lack of an expansion slot. The discreet device is also capable of recording 640 x 480-pixel AVI movie clips at 30fps. Charging of internal lithium-ion battery is done via a USB port.

GeekStuff4U is listing the spy camera keychain at US$177. Just make sure you don't whip it out to unlock your car. You'll just end up with pictures.

Veho claims world's smallest camcorder title with Muvi

UK company Veho claims its Muvi micro DV camcorder is the world's smallest videocam in its class. Measuring a mere 55mm in height with a slim profile, it's really not hard to lose the gizmo. What's also interesting is the voice activated start/stop record.

However, the Muvi's specifications are only average: 2-megapixel still image, 640 x 480-pixel AVI format clip capture, and a microSD card slot for storage expansion. As with most micro DV camcorders, the Muvi can function as a Webcam, too.

Kodak to stop Kodachrome production

First we said good-bye to Polaroid, now it's Kodachrome. What's a film sentimentalist to do? After 74 years of making the color film used by many of photography's greats, Kodak announced Monday that it's ending Kodachrome's production.

Kodachrome makes up less than 1 percent of Kodak's total sales for still film, according to the company. Digital cameras are obviously the main culprit contributing to Kodachrome's demise, but photographers are also using newer kinds of color film that are easier to process. Only one photofinishing lab in the world still processes Kodachrome--Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kan.
