In the 2 years that have passed since Sony launched the revolutionary T1 there have been several iterations (5 to be exact) on the 5.1 Megapixel, big screen small wonder T series. The N1 is their next big step-- it features more megapixels, a bigger screen, a better lens, improved overall image quality and a whole new touch screen user interface. All this is in a package not much larger than the original T1.
Sony also tuned in to the fact that people were using the screen on the T series to show photos to friends and turned that in to a feature on the N1. It's smart because items put in the separate sharing album are only kept at the low resolution needed to display on the camera's screen, leaving room to take more photos.

Working full-time as an online editor and magazine writer, Melbourne-based Mark Gambino found himself the recipient of numerous after-work events. Finding little to converse about with drunken musicians and statuesque models, the 30-something photography enthusiast started snapping. The result is a candid look at the music festivals, fashion events and VIP parties taking place in Australia. CH recently caught up with Gambino to talk...
Taking pinhole photography to a whole new scale, photographer Shaun Irving transformed a delivery trucks into the world's largest mobile camera, the Cameratruck. The resulting prints (see "First Kiss" below) bear the rich anomalies that come from the technique—he says the best images are the ones "where you can't tell where the image ends and the squirreliness begins"—but in a size roughly 3,000 times...
The fourth in the "ToyCamera" series of iPhone apps developed by Takayuki Fukatsu, QuadCamera uses the device's camera to create multiple images taken moments apart from each other. Similar to the normal iPhone camera, the user sees a single image on the screen, but QuadCamera takes a handful of shots spaced by adjustable time intervals. You can also choose between four and eight serial...
