Samsung has thrown itself into the ring together with Olympus. The new Prototype has more in common with the Panasonic G1 than the beautiful Olympus, but competition has to be a good thing. Perhaps we will know more in the next few days, but I’m guessing Samsung is (once again) working together with Pentax on this thing. And Sony has to have some kind of similar mirrorless prototype down in their deep R&D dungeons. And if a few of these cameras actually start selling sometime, and start gaining market share, at some point Canon and Nikon have to do something about it.

I don’t really care what brand gets it right first, all I want is a compact, travel-friendly camera that can actually take reasonable pictures, with small, pocketable lenses and preferably an optical viewfinder (but I guess an EVF would do). Cameras like this are something we lost going digital, and it’s time to take them back. The first company to get it right gets my money…

Once upon a time, there where cameras like this…

Epson is updating its digital rangefinder R-D1, and I cry a little tear of joy. It would have been so easy to just shut down that product line. There are probably about 10 people in the world that want this camera, but every one of us want it a lot.

It’s still outside my financial reach, but the only alternative, the Leica M8(.2) is even more expensive. And the Leica doesn’t have those beautiful analog gauges for memory space, white balance, battery and image format.

Badass!

This just makes me happy.

Nokia, SonyEricsson, Samsung och andra har enats om gemensam standard för laddare. Mikro-USB dessutom, så man behöver inte ens laddare om man har datorn med sig.

Ljuva änglar sjunga. År 2012, i alla fall.

A Lotus "Evora"? What the heck was wrong with "Eagle"? That just makes me sad…

Don’t get me wrong, I still want one, even if they called it a Lotus Entomologist. At least if it delivers on it’s 2+2 promise, i.e. if it can take two passengers in the back sitting sideways. I need to be able to take two extra passengers sometimes. But I don’t need, and I don’t want, them to be the slightest bit comfortable.

I dare you, watch this and you will never be able to lay out a document/webpage/whatever again without thinking anthropomorphically about your font choices.

Cool!

Now all I’m waiting for is an Airwolf R/C helicopter…
