Swedish Chameleon Turns Your Canon DSLR Into a Multi-Purpose Monster
At first glance, I would have sworn this was some engine for a small motorcycle, but then I thought to myself, “Wait, engines don’t have lenses.” No, what I saw wasn’t an engine at all. This was some sort of camera. And a Canon DSLR at that. As it turns out, this is Swedish Chameleon’s way of compressing a whole bunch of photographic features into one awkward, yet completely usable, DSLR rig. Swedish Chameleon aims to reduce the size of... Continue reading
Minor Star Wars Characters with Ridiculously Detailed Backstories
The line between fanfic and official Star Wars canon becomes blurred with every passing day, but purists know how to separate the fiction from slightly-truer fiction. The truth is that in some way or form, every character that appeared on screen for more than a millisecond (and even some among those) have developed complete backstories thanks to the vast expanse of the Star Wars universe. Topless Robot chose ten of these very minor Star Wars characters who have developed entire... Continue reading
Canon Lens Mug Almost Indistinguishable From The Real Thing
Photographers are hard to buy for because all of their equipment is typically so expensive. But if that special photog in your life happens to be a devout Canon user, or not even, just because this thing is so damn cool, here is the perfect gift.

Canon disses Sanyo Xacti with TX1
 When it comes to SD (SDHC) card camcorders, few would deny that the Sanyo Xacti line is indeed one of the most popular products if not the best and most successful in the market. Digital camera giant Canon is planning to take Sanyo down with their new PowerShot TX1, equipped with a similar 7MP CCD sensor and the ability to record HD videos up to 1280x720pixels 30fps. What’s more is that Canon fitted in an optical anti-shake lens with 10x optical zoom,... Continue reading
Canon released portable electronic dictionaries w/ MP3 playback
Canon has released two new electronic dictionaries to ease your spelling problems. The Wordtank M300 and the Wordtank V300 also have the ability to playback your MP3s. So while an iPod or some other portable audio device probably does the job better, this can serve as a quick alternative. Seeing as these are first dictionaries and second audio players, the speakers are also assigned the duty of text-to-speech when you need to know how a certain word is pronounced. It’s...

New Canon fax machine seems to hold tech back
While this new Canon fax machine labeled the JX200 looks very nice, one can’t help to wonder why anyone needs a stand-alone fax machine anymore? Aren’t fax machines so 90′s business room tech? With the thriving of multi-function printers that can fax, scan, copy, and have built-in phones, what is the point of this? There are advantages to having a standalone: the main one being that it does its job well, not a ton of jobs OK. So for specs,... Continue reading
