momi-music-video-take-on-me

The best music videos usually boil down to a single, iconic image, whether it's Michael Jackson jumping onto his toes or the Lego White Stripes. They look good on TV, but strangely eerie in person, as we discovered this month at the Museum of the Moving Image's Spectacle exhibit, which gathered together dozens of artifacts from music-video history.

Fujifilm X100S review: Making today’s pictures with yesterday’s design

fuji-x100s-hero

Retro is so hot right now. Mad Men is on its sixth season and still pulling in huge ratings. The Great Gatsby is due to hit theaters next month, with a period-correct 1920s setting. And Fujifilm's new X100S, an update from 2010's X100, is one of the most retro inspired cameras we've seen to date.

ricoh gr

Ricoh hasn't made many noteworthy moves in the camera industry lately, but the recent trend for premium, high-quality compact cameras like the Sony RX100 and Nikon Coolpix A appears to have tempted it back into the arena. The company has form in this area, with its GR Digital series garnering a loyal following in years past — and that series has been rebooted today with the Ricoh GR.

From first appearances, the Ricoh GR is almost identical to Nikon's Coolpix A: there's a 16.2-megapixel...

Today, Adobe is launching a free public beta for Lightroom 5, and thankfully, that original vision hasn't gone out of focus. There are a few genuinely new and useful editing features,...
