Digital Photography Review has a review by Phil Askey of the Nikon 10.2 megapixel D80 SLR Digital Camera.
Leica M8
Digital Photography Review has a preview by Phil Askey and Simon Joinson of a pre-production Leica M8. The camera will be shown at Photokina, the big photography show in Germany, at the end of the month.
This is the first digital Leica M-body. My first Leica was an M3. So far I’ve only made it to a Leica M4-2. Cartier-Bresson would probably be happy with an M8.
Thanks to Mitch Polikoff, Evins Communications, Ltd. and Christian Erhardt, Leica Camera Inc. / Marketing Manager for the M8 image.
A Flying Segway? The Personal Helicopter
Unlike traditional helicopters the GEN H-4 has 2 sets of coaxial, contra-rotating rotors (like a KA-52 Hokum) which eliminates the need of a tail rotor for balancing. It is powered by 4 lightweight 125cc 2 cylinder engines which use standard gasoline. It can fly to an altitude of 1000 meters at a top speed of 59 mph for up to 30 minutes.
