I have a digital Holga - my phone. Isn't that what Best Camera is all about?

Retro Digicam...Digital Holga?
Exemode Yashica will release a low-spec, retro-styled digicam in Japan on October 24th. The EZ F521 will have a 5-megapixel 1/2.5" CMOS sensor, a fixed 42mm-e ƒ/3, and an optical viewfinder. There are only two manually-set positions for focus: Hyperfocal (1.5m–infinity) and Macro (0.2–0.4m [...
Here in Madison you can get a flight in a Cessna 172 for $75/hr; or at least that's what it was about 3 years ago. Hard to imagine it could get any cheaper than that.

An Aerial for Your Portfolio
I'm far from an expert in aerial photography, but I just wanted to add one small comment to the previous post: having one aerial photograph in your portfolio can be a real plus for you, and I recommend it. For many years I've had just one single aerial photo in mine*, but people almost always li...
I don't see any fundamental reason why the LCD shouldn't be perfectly functional as a viewfinder. They're going for small, and small means compromises. Frankly I like the look of it. But hey, if it doesn't suit your needs then that's fine.
Make me a K-mount adapter (hopefully one that will allow effective metering) and this would be an interesting option for a second body.

The Olympus E-P1, Briefly Held
By Eamon Hickey First, a tiny bit of background: Like many, many others (notably, the publisher of this very website), I've been pining away for a small but serious digital camera for a decade or so now. (Yeah, a decade. Shame, shame on you, camera companies.) By "small but serious," I meant ...
I'm pretty pleased with this, though my monetary outlay will be reserved until I've had a chance to see image results.
Happy to see the higher ISO, but also happy to see ISO 100 (which my K110D lacks). As a wide-open shooter much of the time it's helpful. Size, ergonomics, etc, look perfect. Price is good. Totally agree on handsomeness - it's got a retro look I really dig, for what it's worth (which ain't much).

New Pentax Flagship, the K-7
Fast, compact, and quiet—that's the gestalt of the K-7, which is a perfect match to Pentax's beautiful Limited prime lenses. Finally, finally, finally, a Japanese camera manufacturer has broken with the size/quality lockstep that has been like a hard-and-fast, albeit unspoken rule among Japanes...
