TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the Nikon D5100, a Nikon DX-format digital-SLR camera equipped with a vari-angle monitor, and a CMOS image sensor and the EXPEED 2 image-processing engine that enable high-resolution rendering and rich expression of tones.

ByThom has released their review analysis and conclusion of the Ricoh GXR and here’s a summary of his review – ‘He admitted he actually enjoyed using the GXR. Of course it is not a true pocket camera primarily because of the size of the APS unit. While it may not slip into a pocket very easily a large jacket or coat pocket will work. In testing the 2 APS units provided really good results relative to lens quality, which by the way would one-on-one with most 12 megapixel DSLRs. What’s interesting is he preferred packing the GXR with the 2 APS units to lugging around his Nikon D3100 with a couple of lens.

Bottom Line – He recommends rethinking the GXR. He prefers to think of the GXR as a weird small DSLR alternate and particularly if you’re a EVF user. However, in the end he liked carrying around the GXR over his D3100 and couple of prime lenses.’

Many of us "photo-nerds," have fond memories of that very first high school or middle school photo class where we brought in a Quaker Oats can from home and made a rudimentary pinhole camera.

Designer Kelly Angood has taken the cardboard pinhole camera concept to a whole new level, creating a functionig Hasselblad replica out of plain old cardboard.

Not only is Kelly's creation a true to size replica of a 'blad, but it was even screen printed on to give it a more realistic look. The camera takes standard 120mm film.

UPDATE - March 2011: PhotoRadar's head of testing, Angela Nicholson, shares which 10 specs she would like to see on a Sony A77 / A800 release:

- Translucent mirror technology to allow faster phase detection AF when using live view to compose images

- Electronic viewfinder

- At least an 18 megapixel APS-C Exmore sensor (some reports have claimed 25 megapixels)

- 3in LCD screen with at least 920,000 dots, possibly more to beat the 1,040,000 dots of the EOS 60D

- Articulated screen, the Alpha 55's articulated joint movement is a little restricted, Sony may resolve this with the A77

- Full HD video with AVCHD format - a dead cert.

- Sensitivity expandable to at least ISO 25,600, but probably higher

- Sweep Panorama with 3D

- A digital level is a feature of all recent DSLRs and there's bound to be one in the A77

- Built-in GPS to geotag images in-camera, in place of the Sony GPS-CS1 external unit
