If you were wondering which could be the best camera lately up for sale, you might have thought of a 14 MP camera that you thought was the best. However, you would need to be ready and hold your breath to be ready to face what you are going to read. Here is a camera that comes with a 50 megapixel resolution.

The Hasselblad H3DII-50 MS comes with 50 Mp camera and it captures four consecutive shots by moving the sensor by one pixel between each shot. It thus records all the RGB values and you would also have to spend some astronomical amount to get this camera. It looks pretty normal and ordinary but the hidden monster costs $34,000, which according to me is a lot for a camera.

I can’t believe anyone would buy a camera so expensive unless they took their photography really seriously. SO, if you are really serious about your photography and you plan to win the famous photojournalism award. Nevertheless, if you really want the Pulitzer award, you can go ahead and buy this camera but trust me, it is not the camera that matters the most but it is the photographer who brings the frozen subject to life.

Most of us who are into photography would know that cameras that are amazingly specs-efficient are not very sturdy. Even if a drop of water falls on them, you might risk losing your camera. Moreover, when you are visiting hard terrain there is always the risk of dropping your camera especially if you are trekking up a red hill. In that case you do not just need a water-proof camera but also a shock resistant camera.

However, most of these rugged cameras are bulky and take up a lot of space. Casio has launched the Casio EX-G1 which is the thinnest rugged watch in the world and measures just .78 inches. It even comes with a 12.1 megapixel resolution and looks amazingly chic. Just because it is rugged, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on sleekness, size or the look!

It comes with a cool 2.5 inch view screen and is available in black or red. It costs $300 and in my opinion, it is a damn good camera. I am certainly buying one when I have the money. This is the kind of camera you need to keep if you travel a lot, as it looks good, is pretty cheap, is rugged, shock resistant and is also waterproof.

You don’t have to be an expert of photography to realise how good the cameras from famous German brand Leica are. One of its classic models like the M8 Safari Edition still is on the wish list of many enthusisasts of the photography. And now, the camera maker is out wuth the M8 White Edition. One look at it, and we guarantee you will fall heads over heels in love with this one.

Done up in cool white leather, the ne wLeica is special. Well, what else will you say to a model that is a bright alternative to the classic black and silver models typical to the M8 series! The technicalities are the same in the white cam like the specs and other distinct features.

Available in a set, Leica M8 White Edition also brings along a silver anodized Leica Elmarit-M 1:2.8/28mm ASPH lens and a leather carryng strap that is embossed with the Leica logo. This one comes in a limited edition of only 275. Every model will hold a special number. The price tag says $9,729.

The Paillard Bolex H8 Military gun is a weapon that you wouldn’t want to choose when you are in danger, because instead of shooting bullets this gun can only shoot videos. With a camera attached, the gun was apparently made for a Vietnam War reporter. The rare gun would definitely have placed the reporter in more trouble instead of helping him out of a dangerous situation. The camera attached has 5x lenses so you would be able to shoot some pretty good pics with this little weapon.

The rare Paillard Bolex H8 Military gun is available with case on eBay for anyone with the right amount, which just happens to be $1,318. Just remember if you are thinking of taking pictures of celebrities with this camera, body guards tend to beat people up and ask questions later.

Yama is perhaps the weirdest camera ever. Named after the Tibetan God of Death, this camera will give you an all new view of the whole wide world. As the the Tibetan saying goes, ‘Yama will see all life and Karma is the judge that keeps the balance, the camera too is built in sync with the Buddhist teaching.

The intimidating name lends the camera a unique mechanism. Yama’s eyes are cast in broze and silver with a brass pinhole in each. The skull comprises of two different cameras that are separated by a divider running down the middle of it. Then there is a finished contact print mounted on copper at the back of the camera which enable us to see 3D via the Yama.

Elements used to make Yama include Aluminum, Titanium, Copper, Brass, Bronze Steel, Silver, Gold, Mercury along with 4 Sapphires, 3 Rubies, Asian and American Turquoise, Sand, Blood (eeks) and 9 Opals inlayed in the skull. By the way, the ruby used to make Yama’s third eye is pretty costly at $5,000.

Agreed that the new Nokia 8800 Gold Arte is nowhere close to Peter Aloisson’s Nokia 8800 Arte Pink, but it would not be fair to ignore this 18 k creation. The newest member of the Nokia Arte series of ’supah’-luxury phones, this one is done up in gold and white leather, which are the only novelity in this phone piece which otherwise has features similar to the other Arte phones.

Admirers of technology with beauty will appreciate the tri-band GSM handset that flaunts an OLED display with 240 x 320 pixels, 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus, 4GB of internal storage, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR support and USB 2.0 connectivity. A perfect Christmas present for King Midas if he were minus his magical touch, of course!

The release date of the mobilephone hasn’t been disclosed yet but we do know a bit about the pricing, which should be more than $1,615. If that is a little overboard, don’t worry gold is a safe investment in the economic slowdown but yes, you are right, the  prices of electronics are depreciating. So, get this one, if you can keep one!

The Draganfly offering of helicopter cameras got a welcoming response buy they say the lately unveiled Draganfly X6 is ultra-appealing. Its triple-tipped carbon fiber structure sports two carbon rotors on both ends and intelligent construction enables it move in all directions swiftly, providing sufficient control to zip about indoors yet oppose up to 18 miles per hour of wind.

They say a pair of glasses would feature the same thing as the hatchet in the air, while you are footing on the floor with the handheld regulator. For safety, reconnaissance, scrutiny, damage assessment, investigation, real estate endorsement, or marketing, it is suggestible to use the high definition motion video provided by the Draganflyer X6 helicopter.

The eminent feature of the Draganflyer X6 is its miniscule structure that allows it to fly indoors againat other full-size helicopters or airplanes and is colossal enough to fly outside in winds at a speed of 30km/h (18mph). It is accessible using 11 sensors and thousands of lines of regulations to self-stabilize during flight.
