Since its initial announcement last month, many Ricoh fans have been waiting to be able to get their pre-orders in for the new Ricoh GR IIIx digital camera. Well, now, they can and it’ll cost you around $999. Over the GR III it sees a longer focal length, new face and eye-detection AF, improved in-camera editing and a bunch of new accessories. The body of the camera hasn’t changed at all, and it still looks and feels largely the same, except when you shoot with it, you’ll have a slightly narrower field of view, going from the 28mm equivalent on the GR III to a 40mm equivalent on the GR IIIx – which is said to deliver “a new, innovative perspective perfect for dramatic, inspiring street photography”....

The source doesn’t back up the claim with any concrete evidence, which makes us question its authenticity. The tweet simply says Samsung is aiming to launch a foldable Galaxy A model (name unknown) in 2024 or 2025. It doesn’t even mention whether the said device will sport the Fold (book-like) design or it will look more like a Flip phone (clamshell foldable). But @chunvn8888 has reported multiple Samsung leaks accurately in the past....

The device that you can see above is the long-rumored Galaxy S21 FE in its green avatar. The phone is also expected to come in black, pink, and white colors.

We are talking about the Exynos 2100 here, not the upcoming Exynos 2200 (or whatever else the Korean giant calls it)....

We’ve seen all sorts of dual camera configurations in smartphones since they were first introduced a few years ago. Often times, various manufacturers would use the second lens for either optical zoom, or for creating bokeh shots. However, we’ve never heard of it being employed exclusively to shoot 4K video–that is of course until Sharp showed up with the new Aquos R2. The Japanese electronics company may not be known for smartphones, but their newest high-end offering might just have enough oomph to launch them into this competitive industry....

HOWEVER, if I do a shoot knowing full well what my background looks like before I even pick up my camera, it makes everything a million times easier. I went into the shoot for this image knowing that I wanted to create something quite vibrant, colorful, and over the top science-fiction-y. I did my pre-planning based around this awesome background. It’s pretty dang sweet because it gives you the ability to turn almost every light in the scene on and off individually with its own layer in Photoshop....
