Lytro changed photography. Now can it get anyone to care? | The Verge
by sbrothierLytro's ultimate, simplest goal is to turn the physical parts of the camera — the lens, the aperture, the shutter — into software. If it can do that, the camera hardware itself becomes secondary; it would take nothing more than a cheap lens and a sensor to build a light-field camera.
Airport Security Staff are Going to Hate Wearable Cameras
by sbrothierWhat follows is the story of my brush with Homeland Security today while entering the United States a few hours ago.

How To Tether Your Camera To An Ipad Without Jailbreaking | Fstoppers
by sbrothierLast year I released a video explaining how to wirelessly tether your camera to an iPad by jailbreaking the iPad. Since then Eye-Fi has released a firmware update that makes wireless tethering possible without the need for jailbreaking. Now, not only is the whole process much easier to set up, it is also much cheaper because you no longer have to pay for the more expensive Pro Eye-Fi card, you can make this work with the cheaper Connect X2 card.

Canon Cinema EOS
by sbrothier & 1 otherBuilt from the ground up for the serious filmmaker. Every detail, from sensor design to lens mount to I/O and codec is inspired by and created for the industry. We interviewed hundreds of people in the business to truly understand their wants and needs. They spoke; we listened. The result - the Canon Cinema EOS system.
Leveraging decades of Canon experience delivering imaging technology and services, Cinema EOS is more than the sum of its parts - camera body, lenses, service and support; it's a definitive HD motion picture system, conceived as an extension of the cinematographer. And this is just the beginning. Expect many more announcements in the months to come - all part of Canon's commitment to provide professionals with the tools and support they need to tell their stories.

Test de l'Eye-Fi Pro
by sbrothierL'Eye-Fi est une carte SD un peu à part : elle dispose d'une puce WiFi qui permet le transfert des photos de l'appareil à l'ordinateur, sans avoir jamais besoin de sortir la carte de son logement ou de brancher un câble. Mieux : elle permet l'envoi direct vers des services en ligne. Nous avions eu l'occasion de tester une carte Eye-Fi Explore l'an dernier (lire : Test de la carte SD Wi-Fi Eye-Fi). Il lui manquait le support des fichiers RAW, entre autres : c'est un point que règle la Eye-Fi Pro que nous testons aujourd'hui.
