Sigma officially released the Sigma fp today, confirming the leak we reported earlier this week. Available to pre-order today, the world's smallest full-frame mirrorless camera will cost $1,900 for the body-only, and will begin shipping to customers on October 25th.
In a world where "bigger" pixels and "deeper" pixels dominate discussions around smartphone sensors, Samsung has decided to go... another way. The image sensor giant has revealed the world's first 0.7μm-pixel mobile image sensor, which allowed it to pack 43.7 megapixels into a sensor that's less than 5mm wide.
Insta630 just announced its smallest, most convenient camera yet... and it might just be the first "life-logging" action camera to break into the mainstream. It's called the Insta360 GO, and it's a teeny 18.3g action cam that the brand has dubbed "the world's smallest stabilized camera."
Camera-making enthusiast Lucus Landers has created the Mini View Camera, a creation he believes is the smallest view camera (and one of the smallest film cameras) ever made.
Video effects specialist Robert McIntosh wanted a tiny but powerful camera drone, so he built himself the world's smallest high-definition drone. It's a drone that can squeeze through the smallest of spaces, as you can see in the unusual 2-minute video above.
Controlling your DSLR from your smartphone or tablet has never been ... smaller. Meet the CASE Remote Air, the self-proclaimed "world's smallest and most powerful smart camera controller."
Here's a fun little piece of photography trivia: did you know that when it was released in 1998, the Game Boy Camera was the world's smallest digital camera?
Believe it or not, what you see here is the world's smallest color inkjet photo ever printed. It's so small that it's invisible to the naked eye: you'll need a microscope to see the shot, which shows clown fishes hanging around their sea anemone home.
How small can you go when it comes to wet plate collodion photography? Photographer Anton Orlov of The Photo Palace recently experimented with this question by shooting thumbnail-sized 8x11mm tintypes using an old Minox subminiature camera -- a model A III from the 1950s.
This is a picture of the smallest life form that's known to exist, an ultra-small bacterial cell. That black bar you see is for scale -- it indicates 100 nanometers. To put things into perspective, more than 150,000 of these bacteria could fit onto the top of a human hair.
If you feel like the pseudo-studio in your spare room is too small for quality results, Siste Skanse may change your perspective a bit. Located in Tromsø, Norway, this small building's claim to fame is that it's the “World's Smallest Instant Photo Studio.”
We told you about the upcoming Panasonic GM1 back in September when the rumors first surfaced, but now we have the first leaked photos of the camera that intends to claim the title of "world's smallest interchangeable lens camera" without compromising on quality.
So far, the title of world's smallest interchangeable lens camera fell (for the most part) to the cameras in the Pentax Q-series -- starting with the Q, then the Q10 and finally the most recent Q7. But that title won't be held by Pentax (or is it RICOH?) for much longer. If rumors are to be believed, October will see the release of the Panasonic GM1, which will claim the title for itself.
Back in 2010, Nokia created "the world's smallest stop-motion video" using its new N8 smartphone and a tiny 9mm-tall figure of a girl. If you think 9mm is tiny, try 1/25,000,000th of a inch!
Today, IBM scientists announced that they have created the world's smallest movie. Unlike the previous record holder, this one will be extremely difficult to beat. The stop-motion movie was made using individual atoms.
You may think that shooting 4K video is reserved for people with deep pockets and cinematographic aspirations, but a new camera from Point Grey begs to differ. The company's new Flea3 webcam seeks to offer that same super-high resolution in a tiny package and for a significantly smaller (though still not small) price tag than, say, a RED Epic.
If you had a camera the size of a grain of rice, that would be considered extremely small, but …
