Nikon has announced a slew of new Coolpix models—some good, others so-so—but one things is clear: Nikon is trying to pack in the specs at keen prices. Read More >>
Gizmodo friend Gerard Donovan has sent us an amazing 2.6 GB, 360-degree panorama from the very top of the highest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. You know, where Tom Cruise perched to be closer to Xenu and look out over all of us lousy, pill-popping humans. Read More >>

Yum, that food you ordered is so beautifully-presented that you're going to take a lovely photo of it, aren't you? I bet you're going to use the flash because it's dark in this fancy restaurant, too, huh? Read More >>

G-Form's made a name for itself with extreme phone and tablet cases that can protect a gadget during falls from over 100,000 feet. But since rarely are any of us in a situation where we fumble and drop our toys from space, the company's new G90 case that turns your phone into a GoPro-like action cam is a little more exciting.

What could possibly be more fun than playing in the snow? Taking shameless selfies of yourself playing in the snow, that's what.

Entries close 6PM Monday, so chop chop! Read More >>

Twitter is modern-day people-watching. Anytime you check it, you see what a person is thinking or doing or saying. But it's not all happening in a digital vacuum, they're on break at work tweeting about their boss; they're outside a hospital tweeting about their day; they're always somewhere tweeting about something. This photo project, Geolocations, by Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman show where people are when they send out tweets. It's completing the picture. Read More >>

Panasonic claims its new wearable HD camcorder will be perfect for adrenaline junkies and recreation-seekers alike — but can it compete in a market that's already dominated by GoPro? Read More >>
A big part of photography is being at the right place at the right time, and of course having your camera ready to capture a fleeting moment. But what if you were able to just capture every single moment? That's what 4K video capable DSLRs like the new Canon EOS-1DC promise, and the folks at Untitled Film Works put one to the test to see if motion image photography is officially here yet. Read More >>
