Just imagine how much bandwidth folks might be using when they try to upload their 4K videos to the web. Well, that’s what the brand new Acer Liquid S2 smartphone will allow you to do. At IFA, the company has announced that the 6 inch Android device (yes, that’s huge) is the world’s first smartphone to be able to accomplish such a feat. For what it’s worth though, most televisions can’t handle 4K content–but the iPad can.

Specwise according to Engadget, the phone sports a 1080p IPS display, 2GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 800 processor, an LED flash in the shape of a ring around the 13MP f2.2 camera, Gorilla Glass, 2MP front camera and more.

CNET is stating that it can shoot 1080p HD video at 60p.

Who ever thought that a phone would beat most cameras to the 4K video punch?

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.

My Wishlist: What I Want in the Fujifilm X Pro 3

I’ve never found it reasonable to constantly upgrade to the next generation of cameras that come out, and that’s why I’ve been holding out for the Fujifilm X Pro 3. I still own the Fujifilm X Pro 1, and to this day it is in my eyes one of the best cameras ever made in the past 10 years. The image quality still holds up as you can easily make the raw files look like film or have them be really high end. While Sony cameras are what I’d use for most of my work, Fujifilm is what I use for studio projects and for my hobby photography. I’ve always preferred the rangefinder style of cameras as they simply just conform better to my hands.
