Pebble just keeps getting better and better. But will it be enough? Nextgen Pebble smartwatches are around the corner. In the coming months the Silicon Valley upstart will ship the Pebble 2 ($129) and Pebble Time 2 ($199). Update models include heart rate monitors, larger e-paper displays, and even better...

The wait is over. Well, almost. Canon has unveiled the long-awaited EOS 5D Mark IV full frame DSLR. Headline features for the new 5D IV include 4K video (30p/24p), GPS, NFC and Wi-Fi (maybe a stretch to call that a marquee feature when we have wi-fi enabled toasters), 30.4 MP full-frame...

How ludicrous can Elon Musk get? Very ludicrous. As in, LaFerrari ludicrous. Today's announcement is, once again as we've come to expect from Tesla, mind melting. How on earth can a four door sedan with ample luggage capacity and a roomy cabin possibly put up these kinds of performance numbers? And yet: Model S...

Video is big these days. Sure, you can use your iPhone or Android to capture decent, to even very good, quality videos. But there are times you may want to stretch it further, and embrace your inner Hitchcock or Aronofsky or Coppola. A DSLR (or mirrorless) is often the perfect...

Coppola Winery revealed three new wine labels today. Granted, not especially remarkable news. This happens all the time. Wineries partner with an artist and produce something intriguing, something artful and colorful designed to grab our attention. But what made this email stand-out from the pack is that the labels feature...

Once again, the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera (the new tiny one) has found its way on to the set of a major Hollywood production. Hold your thoughts for a moment on the idea -- the idea! -- of a Ben-Hur remake. Keep holding that hold. Keep on. And, for now...

If you're looking for an all-around shooter, 2016 is turning out to be a very good year. Finally, Canon released a successor to its fabled EOS 70D. Great camera that one. But three years in, it was time for an upgrade. So along came the EOS 80D DSLR. Canon announced...

Cringe-worthy naming aside, "Nougat" should be arriving next week. At least for some smartphones. Version 7.0 of Google's mobile operating system brings a slew of refinements that make Android easier to use, and more powerful. I've been running 7.0 Nougat on a Nexus 6 and posted some impressions earlier here. While...

One of my favorite past-times when it comes to video production is to look for inspiration in various places (art, cartoons, video games, movies, etc.). This time I find it in a little known film from the 1980s starring two of the era's biggest stars. 9 1/2 Weeks (imdb) may well...

"Capture the moment." One of this online film school's final suggestions is simple enough. But when it's delivered by none other than legendary director and documentarian extraordinaire Werner Herzog the advice may well have been hand-delivered from the heavens. Maybe it's the charismatic German accent? The passion in the eyes, the face?...
