Belkin provides consumers with the capability to instantly capture and share life’s most spontaneous moments with the newly announced LiveAction Camera accessories for the iPhone and iPod touch. Experience a better way to snap photos and record video with products including the LiveAction Camera Grip and LiveAction Camera Remote. Immediately share this digital content with the new LiveAction App. “With upgraded cameras, new phones like the iPhone 4S take great pictures and are beginning to replace traditional cameras because they provide instant gratification—the ability to shoot and share via social media instantly,” said Jamie Elgie, senior director of Belkin’s mobility division. “Our new LiveAction Camera App and products enable that spontaneity, but also provide an enhanced camera experience that feels more like that of a traditional point-and-shoot camera. It’s the best of both worlds.”

The free LiveAction App features an intuitive on-screen interface to upload high-quality photos and videos directly onto Facebook or into an email without having to open another program. The app also allows you to capture still photos while simultaneously recording video of the same content so you don’t miss a single moment. Separate photo and video buttons make it easy to switch modes right on screen. In addition to working in conjunction with Belkin’s LiveAction Camera products, the LiveAction App can also be used alone as the primary camera app for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Lytro lets you take pictures like never before. Unlike a conventional camera that captures a single plane of light, the Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space.

New lenses. A new camera body. And a new image sensor. Nikon has developed a new, game-changing standard for digital cameras. Starting from zero, they have carefully engineered every detail of the camera. Every inch of the camera reflects their design philosophy. The minimal design, high-performance functions, and simple operability of this camera will be a smart complement to your shooting style.

Weatherproof, padded, and guaranteed for life. This is the bag your camera wants to be in. It’s a backpacklike bag for your camera that borrows from messenger-bag aesthetics and functionality. So you’ll have the confidence to do what this guy’s doing while wearing it:

(Assuming you’ll have the confidence to do that at all.)

Plenty of pockets for your stuff (because how often do you carry your camera without carrying other stuff as well?) and plenty of ways to get at it. The unique slant-slung strap (with the iconic buckle) looks easy to get on and off. And the innards are neatly compartmentalized so your delicate crap isn’t banging around in there while you bang around out there.

Because when you carry your camera, your camera's not all you carry.

The F2.0 lens is twice as bright as a F2.8 lens, making it easy to produce beautiful photos with a soft-focused background thanks to the shallow depth of field provided by the extra light. In addition to the newly-designed lens, the Lumix LX5 features an image processing engine that combines technologies resulting in professional-quality photos, especially in low-light situations. Like its predecessor, the Lumix LX5 features the highly-acclaimed 10.1-megapixel CCD, but it has an expanded dynamic range by increasing the sensitivity and the saturation.
