Considering Aperture for iOS

by Mike Schramm (Feb 7th, 2012)

Gabe Glick over at Macstories has a proposal: Aperture for iOS. On the surface, it sounds like a pretty silly idea -- Apple's high end camera app is really made for a desktop environment, and with the hassle required to get high quality photos onto iOS devices, there really isn't a point bringing ...

SkyLight combines iPhones and microscopes

by Kelly Hodgkins (Feb 6th, 2012)

We've seen lots of photo accessories that let you add filters and lenses to your iPhone, but SkyLight is the first to let you add a full-fledged microscope. It's a platform that attaches to a microscope and aligns the phone's camera with the eyepiece. You can view the microscope image on your ...

Love Box is a low-fi video mixer for iPhone

by Kelly Hodgkins (Jan 27th, 2012)

Creativity is a splendid thing. It lets you come up with never-before-considered ideas, and leads to the creation of products like the Love Box. The Love Box is a videography accessory for the iPhone that lets you mix two videos together in real time. It's a wooden box with a slot for your iPhone ...

DXG docks with cameras in them are of limited use

by Kelly Guimont (Jan 14th, 2012)

While making our rounds on the show floor at CES, we came across the DXG booth, which displayed an interesting piece of hardware: An iPhone dock. No really! In what we originally thought was an interesting twist, DXG has some iPhone docks with cameras in them. Well that is certainly something ...

GoPano 360 degree camera with new app updates, case at CES

by Mike Schramm (Jan 13th, 2012)

We originally took a look at the GoPano lens attachment from EyeSee360 last year when it was released -- the lens sits on the back of your iPhone, and allows you to take a full 360 degree picture with a free iPhone app. Since the project went live (it was funded by Kickstarter), EyeSee360 tells ...

CineSkates bring highly adaptable dollying to mobile photography

by Erica Sadun (Dec 28th, 2011)

Starting around $300, Cinetics' CineSkates are not cheap but this new device may provide exactly the kit you're looking for in terms of mobile dolly shots. Attach your iPhone, start it recording, and use the rig to smoothly move the camera as you shoot, creating perfect rotation and tracking ...

Over a quarter of photos now taken with smartphones, according to NPD

by Mike Schramm (Dec 22nd, 2011)

I'll 'fess up -- on our wish list earlier this week, I was the one who asked (reasonably, I thought) for an Apple Camera. I've been shopping for a DSLR lately, and while the quality of some cameras are great, the interfaces are pretty terrible. I really do wish that Apple would step in and ...

Daily iPad App: Master Your DSLR Camera

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Dec 19th, 2011)

Those wanting to upgrade to a DSLR might find there's a steep learning curve involved. Instead of relying on automatic controls, you're faced with a slew of new tools and concepts. And while you can get decent photos with a DSLR's automatic settings, it's nothing like learning to use the ...

Kid-friendly camera sports iPad 30-pin connector

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Dec 19th, 2011)

Large cameras meant for kids to use have been around for years, but Sakar's AppClix appears to be the first to be aimed at those whose parents own an iPad. The colorful camera, adorned with your choice of several Disney characters, is nothing to sneeze at with a 7-megapixel sensor and 4x zoom. ...

Holiday Gift Guide: iMovie-friendly video cameras

by Michael Rose (Dec 18th, 2011)

Funny thing about video cameras: you can spend an arbitrarily large amount of money on them, if you want. The line between the kind of equipment used exclusively by professionals and the stuff you might find in the gear bag of a weekend Scorsese has become so blurred that an $8,000 Canon HD ...

Dear Santa: TUAW's we-have-been-nice wish list

by Erica Sadun (Dec 16th, 2011)

Dear Santa, We've been very good reasonably well-behaved bloggers this year. We've brushed our teeth, been polite to our parents, and made sure to walk our dog. So for this year, would you please please please consider our requests? Here's what we're wishing for under the TUAW tree this ...

Daily iPhone App: Total Control

by Kelly Hodgkins (Dec 12th, 2011)

Total Control is for the surveillance camera owner who wants "total control" of his or her arsenal of cameras. I recently installed two surveillance cameras in my home and use this app to observe both the interior and exterior my house when I'm traveling. Total Control has a comprehensive ...

Glidetrack mobislyder: A portable camera slider for your iPhone

by Steven Sande (Dec 5th, 2011)

One film technique that separates the pros from the amateurs is the tracking or dolly shot. With a tracking shot, the camera moves along a track, providing a sense of motion that isn't possible with a static camera. Glidetrack pioneered a portable camera slider (AKA track) in 2008, and now the ...

Daily iPhone App: Video Edit

by Kelly Hodgkins (Dec 2nd, 2011)

I love to use my iPhone 4's camera to take photos and videos of my kids. It's convenient, and the quality is good enough that I use it over a point and shoot to capture those spontaneous, memorable moments. Of course, you'll want to share those videos, which poses a problem. Most video I shoot ...
