Image used with permission by copyright holderIf you’re wondering just what kind of photos Lytro’s Illum is capable of taking, the company has a section on its website that showcases some of the “living pictures” that demonstrate Lytro’s light-field technology. Lytro photos let you refocus on any point of the image simply by clicking on it, but you can also click and drag to shift the perspective and create a 3D parallax view, or zoom in. These interactive features are what Lytro refers to as living pictures. Unlike the original Lytro Camera, the Illum captures images with greater resolution and a much stronger lens, making it a more pro-like camera. It also costs $1,599, so it’s a very expensive gadget (Yahoo Tech’s David Pogue calls it a “one-trick pony”; despite our initial praise for the original camera, that is how we ended up feeling, too). But if you need some convincing before you plunk down that kind of cash, check out some of the photos below or head to Lytro’s site for even more. Lytro is taking orders now, but the Illum isn’t expected to ship until September. Click here to read more about the Illum.
Astronaut’s photo shows Earth as you’ve never seen it before
NASA astronaut Don Pettit already has a long-held reputation for creating stunning space photography, and his latest effort will only bolster it.

When it comes to high-octane sports and other speedy scenarios, our phone cameras can only do so much to capture the action. That’s why there’s such a big market for action cameras, and one of the O.G. camera companies in this realm is GoPro. For years, GoPro has been delivering HD and 4K cameras that are both durable and user-friendly, which is why we’re glad to shine a light on this fantastic offer we found while vetting Walmart deals:
When you purchase the GoPro Hero 12 at Walmart, you’ll pay $300. At full price, this model sells for $400.
The excellent intermediate Canon EOS R10 camera is $86 off at Walmart today
I recently grabbed a Canon EOS R50 bundle for a trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research before I made my decision, sifting through the best camera deals, and the two options I essentially narrowed down were the R50 and the EOS R10. The biggest difference between the two is that the R10 gives you more granular control over some of the photoshoot settings. R50, on the other hand, was designed assuming you'll mostly use the automatic shooting modes. That's a great option for novices, while the R10 is better for intermediate to more skilled photographers. Why am I telling you all of this? Because the excellent Canon EOS R10 camera is on sale at Walmart for Black Friday, discounted by $86 to $760 instead of $846. It is one of the better early Black Friday camera deals I've found so far. It comes with an 18-45mm lens. Needless to say, that's a great deal. Comparatively, the R10 with body only -- no lens -- is .
Why shop the Canon EOS R10 camera in Walmart's early Black Friday sale?
