New iPhone 5S Rumored To Have 12-Megapixel Sensor And More…
Tinhte.vn a Vietnamese site that has been reliable in the past with Apple iPhone rumors has mentioned that the new iPhone 5S will come with a 12 megapixel sensor, better low light shooting capabilities as well has HDR shooting and ‘other features’.

If you recall, when the iPhone 4S was announced back in October 2011, the rear camera was increased from 5 megapixels to 8, with improved video capture of 1080p, from…

It’s very extensive and we think you’ll enjoy this a lot, over to you Egmont (foreword by Joanne Carter). “With the release of Hipstamatic’s new Tintype lens and two accompanying film cartridges recently there has been a very positive response throughout the social network system. I myself immediately downloaded the new SnapPak and after just two exposures, felt it was necessary to do an extensive lens/film test, since the results obtained were intriguing. It was Hipstamatic creative director Aravind taking the lead on how to bring the old traditional look of…

Polaroid Manufacturing Android Based Camera
Popphoto.com a magazine that I have written for in the past, picked up on a rumor that Polaroid are manufacturing a new ILC running Android. In fact, they have gone so far as to confirm it with Polaroid, this is very unusual, this kind of thing is usually shrouded in Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA’s) but perhaps due the fact they intend to announce it at CES next month, things are a little more ‘relaxed’. Known at the moment at least as the Polaroid IM1836, is an Android 4 powered camera with interchangeable lenses, 18 MP, 3.5 inch touchscreen, pop up flash, wi-fi, HDMI, panoramic and blink detection features and possibly…
