You've most likely seen HDR photographs before, but how about HDR video? The above is a demonstration of HDR video by Soviet Montage, created using two Canon 5D Mark II DSLR cameras. Both cameras recorded identical scenes using a beam splitter, and captured the footage at different exposure values (over and under exposed).

San Francisco-based photographer Michael Jang has worked in the business for over 30 years but wanted to have this personal website stand out -- so he decided to clone Google. Most visitors to his page will probably think they somehow landed onto a Google search results page until they give the text a closer look.

The company looks like it's aiming for the same eye-candy loving market with this new camera, unveiling it in red and white in addition to the standard black DSLR body.
