Rumor: Nikon's new dSLR coming soon

Techblog Nikon Rumors has some pretty credible posts indicating that Nikon will be announcing a new dSLR soon.

On a June 11 post, a supposed screenshot of a D300s' LCD was leaked on the Japanese company's Web site, with the model name displayed prominently on the top right corner. Also, the image pointed out that the new dSLR will be using SD/SDHC media for storing files. Shutterbugs have speculated that the D300s will probably have the same specifications, except that it will include video-recording capability.

Olympus E-P1 pricing announced

Olympus recently introduced its first Micro Four Thirds camera, the E-P1, and only today made its pricing known. We've mentioned that the shooter will go for less than S$1,300, and the company kept to that price ceiling for the basic kit.

Olympus has set the price for the camera body and the 14-42mm lens at S$1,298 (US$940.58) . If you prefer to use just the 17mm pancake optics, the E-P1 will retail for S$1,448 (US$1,049.28) with this glass. Shutterbugs who want both lenses will have to fork out S$1,598 (US$1,157.97) for the dual lens bundle. The S$1,448 and S$1,598 packages will come with the 17mm optical viewfinder.

Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera announced

It's been almost one year since Olympus first showcased a mockup of its Micro Four Thirds camera at last year's biennial imaging tradeshow Photokina in Germany. Photographers have been anticipating its release and today they were rewarded with the E-P1. While it looks nothing like the unit shown last year, we are still attracted to its retro design which utilizes the Micro Four Thirds technology to the fullest. We were lucky to have spent some time with a prototype of the new Olympus camera which you can read more about in our exclusive hands-on.

Instant-on OS gets Adobe photo-editing support

Back in January, Phoenix Technologies launched a lightweight instant-on platform named HyperSpace. Designed primarily for Netbooks, the little low-power mobile computers that they are, it allows users to immediately access the Web, e-mail, and IM, among other benefits. And thanks to Adobe, it now includes photo editing.

HyperSpace customers will have instant access to Photoshop.com for organizing, editing, storing, and sharing photos. There is also support for Adobe AIR, Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe Reader on the platform.

The Adobe additions follow the March announcement of the Phoenix partnership with ThinkFree for its Office apps, which let users of the OS manage and edit Microsoft Office file formats for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, online.

Voltron-transforming camera really takes pictures

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen won't hit the cinemas till June 24 globally, so for now you just have to contend with the Voltron Star Shooter camera if you're into shape-shifting robots.

Flickr user John Kratz collects old and weird cameras, but this SLR-like snapper stands out among the other antique shooters he has. Just like Transformers, the Star Shooter is more than meets the eye because the point-and-shoot uses the old 110-format cartridge film and the big, protruding lens is just a decorative element with no practical use.

You probably won't be able to see this camera in any stores now as it was first constructed in 1985. Let us know how much it costs now if you do manage to find one for sale online.
