Wow so dpreview annouces the new features of the forthcoming Canon S100 to replace the S95.
For me, the key new features are the GPS logging, the enhanced lens range on both sides to 24 – 120mm and optical zoom for HD video recording. I will wait for more indepth reviews before deciding to purchase or not. Click the link above to read the whole feature.
Tracking down your stolen camera
PopPhoto reports about a new site GadgetTrack that tracks if your stolen camera has uploaded images to flickr or 500px
John Heller was on assignment for Getty Images at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, when his Nikon D3 and lenses were stolen, but it wasn’t until a substantial amount of time later that he searched for the camera’s serial number on GadgetTrak’s service, which has indexed all the serials embedded on images from 500px and Flickr from 2006 onwards. With a positive hit on a couple of photos on Flickr, the police were able to track the camera down to a photographer, who bought it not knowing its origins — and even had a receipt for the transaction.
