Nerd Grind — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 12:46:05 +0000

Earth Trek has dubbed their webcam the "hottest webcam" in the world. All boasts aside, it’s still a pretty nifty unit. It packs a 1.3-megapixel camera, VGA capture abilities, auto focus / auto brightness and a 2-port USB hub. Those extra peripheral ports sure do seem handy.

The unit is on sale now for a measly $45. Go get your cam on.

Minox’s miniature camera has been the belle of the "spy camera" ball for decades now. Finally, the company has entered the digital age and decided to release a new version that capitalizes on all of that computing stuff. The camera takes photos at 5 megapixels and as you can see from the photo, the unit’s size has not been compromised. Also, it weighs just 2.1 ounces. Perfect for when you suspect your wife is cheating on you!

The camera uses a lithium battery and features a 42mm equivalent lens. It is out now and costs $199. And, of course, this blog post will self destruct in ten seconds.

Rumor: Nikon D3x 24-Megapixel DSLR in December

Do you hear that? That’s the rumor mill grinding away. AV Forums has leaked information that Nikon is going to drop their long-rumored 24MP D3x DSLR camera. The purported drop date is December. Nikon says the camera will use the same massive full-frame sensor as the Sony A900. This comes as no surprise considering Nikon has always been in love with Sony’s sensors. See the D300 model. Get a room you two!

Of course, take this with a grain of salt. It’s a rumor. But probably a true one.

The Megapixel Calculator

Have you ever wondered just how many pictures one could take with a digital camera? And not just an estimate, but more or less the exact number of shots you will have left? Taking a page from the film cameras of old, the megapixel calculator has been born.

Results are displayed after entering an input number and the number of megapixels in your digital camera. If you happen to be too lazy, or want a complete list, that is available as well. The results will show the number of shots available in different size ratios or file formats (.jpg, .mov), as well as different sizes of memory cards. Pretty useful, I’d say.

NEC’s 8mp Future

We want better cameras in our phones! Hearing those cash registers and plastic rustling, Kodak announced a five-megapixel model to come, and now NEC is already shipping samples of a "system chip capable of processing cameraphone images at resolutions of up to 8 megapixels," which even includes "image stabilization circuitry as an option."

I love it when those R&D departments are scrambling.
