Photography news, before they happen: Think Tank Photo will release a new product at the end of January, 2010 – the seam-sealed, water-resistant “Hydrophobia 70-200” cover for DSLR with up to a 70-200 f/2.8 lens attached. Here are two quick shots of the product (I will have more details tomorrow):

Ricoh announced a “Stussy” limited edition version of itsย GR Digital III camera model created with US fashion brand manufacturer Stussy (hit that link for more pictures):
GR DIGITAL III x Stussy
Not a fan of limited edition cameras (nobody can do limited edition cameras better than Leica), but in this case I do like the GR DIGITAL III x Stussy because it’s matches the design colors of PhotoRumors.com ๐
The Ricoh GR Digital III x Stussy will be available in February, 2010. Price is unknown at that point.
B&H Photo listed the Sigma SD15 DSLR as “New item – No arrival date known”.
This camera has been delayed multiple times (officially announced at Photokina 2008). I guess Leica is not the only one that has product release delays.

Sony included their digital cameras (“personal imaging”) as a “creation” device for 3D technology:

Let’s start with Sony – patentย application 20090303371 is for a new Sony CMOS sensor based on the Foveon approach – each pixel capture RG&B:
“Accordingly, in order to utilize the incident light amount efficiently as well as to prevent occurrence of false colors, a method of separating colors by forming plural photodiodes in a pixel in the depth direction of a substrate has been developed.”
Sony is definitely pushing hard in sensor design – as a reference they have ~50 applications in “solid state imaging device” so far this year.
There is a new Panasonic patent application, which has a detailed drawings of a new camera that looks like a Four Thirds DSLR. Brief summary of the main features:
“Live-View, Optical Viewfinder, mirror and prism, of course interchangeable FourThirds lens mount, CMOS sensor, supersonic vibration generator, No Video recording, No in bodyย stabilization.”
