_djc1262 What better way to first experience Google Glass than at Google I/O. You can see my writeup about my learning to be a “glasshole” on Extremetech, as well as my slideshow of images from the conference itself. Some were taken with Glass, but despite how amazing the 5MP, 720p video, camera in Glass is, it’s not going to be replacing your DSLR anytime soon. It does offer a great way to shoot first person instructional videos. Read more »

Submitted by David Cardinal on Wed, 2013-03-20 09:42

Nikon D7100 NOW AVAILABLE for rentalThere has been a lot of interest about the new Nikon D7100 and especially whether it is the answer to the long-awaited upgrade to the Nikon D300 and D300s. It is clearly a great camera and has some dramatically improved sub-systems (it is 5 years newer after all), so many of you are already jumping on it and ordering one from B&H for $1196.95.
