Samsung Unveils the New Galaxy K Zoom for Selfie Lovers

Samsung has recently unveiled the newest addition to its Galaxy lineup with the Galaxy K Zoom, drawing a thin line between smartphone and camera. The new smartphone comes equipped with a new 10x optical zoom which is also able to take 20.7 megapixel photos and capture 1080p video at 60 frames per second. It has a very sleek design to match its new camera specs, which very much resemble a regular point and shoot camera we see on the market today.

One interesting feature that the new Galaxy K Zoom has is what's called the Selfie Alarm where you select the area you want your face to appear in the frame. Once you turn the camera around, you'll hear a beep when you're in position, and within a few seconds, your selfie will be snapped. There's still no word as to how much or when the Galaxy K Zoom will be released, so we'll be waiting awhile.

Rumors of a New Sony RX100M3 Camera Have Leaked

Previously known as the RX200, the Sony RX100 Mark III is in fact being worked on by Sony after the user manual for the product was leaked. It looks like Sony will be adding another addition to its compact lineup which, according to sources, could arrive as early as this week. The new camera will come equipped with a new 28-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens that will give users the ability to shoot some wide angle shots with a little bit of zoom that will work well in low light conditions. It is also being said that the new camera will come with a pop-up viewfinder for those that would rather shoot through a viewfinder as opposed to an LCD screen. As of right now, these are all rumors with nothing else being revealed at this time by Sony, so we'll have to wait and see what happens..

It’s so easy to do whether you’re a photographer or not; just point, shoot, choose a filter and post whatever you created.

[Through My Lens] Shooting with Phoenix

Photos by Bobby Reys

Last week, I shared some photos from a location I scouted out for a possible photo shoot, and this week I wanted to share the results of some recent shots I took with Phoenix. I knew when I first found the place that Phoenix would be the one I would want to shoot there because of her style and attitude that comes across so well in photos. The day was cold and rainy, but that did not stop us from venturing out to see what the both of us could create. The location really gave us a good backdrop to work with, along with Phoenix's choice of outfits that made for a fun shoot. You can check out some of the photos I took of Phoenix here. For more, you can check out my blog.

[Video] Turn Your Smartphone Photos Into Prints With The Fuji Instax Share Printer

For many of us, the camera that is always with us is located on our phones, and I know for myself it's the one that gets used the most; it's simply for the convenience of when I want to capture something on the spot and share on social networks. A lot of times, though, I have photos stored on my phone that I have to delete in order to make room for new ones.

Now, Fujifilm has introduced a way for you to keep those old photos with an analogue touch with its creation of the Fuji Instax Share Smartphone Printer SP-1. The new printer gives your smartphone photos the Polaroid makeover with only the use of its free app which quickly and easily transforms your smartphone photos to hard copy prints in an instant. Just send your photos to the printer via the app and in as little as 16 seconds, you have the prints right in your hand. The printer comes with a price tag of $210.oo, so if you're into the Polaroid look you might want to check out the official site for more details.
