Maybe the reason you don't see Nikon and Canon Phones out there is because of this thing called patents ! Nikon and canon will have hard time finding a way to build a new phone without breaking...

Based on what i see from the link Randy provided , Nikon is in big trouble !!! So now we have a smartphone with 41 megapixels for endless cropping and a small file for online sharing , all in one...

Looks dangerous ! But that's how you get something unique . I saw a video once of a guy who stepped out of his landrover to photograph some lions and sadly was killed and eaten by them with his wife...

Hurrell never used a beauty dish ,at least not as the ones used today .Retouching was often done with a Adams retouching machine or the retouching desk .

I met a guy in Waltham a few years back at the local photographica show ,he had one just like that and he refused $3000.00 for it .He told me that the Smith Co. tried many different set up for their...
