I guess few of you have used Holga cameras for a long time. Now we have good news for you. With the new Skink Pinhole Pancake Starter Kit (available on eBay) you can transform your Sony NEX camera in a digital Hogal
Another positive side effect is that this is probably the most compact way to take photos (you don’t need any lens). Check out the current auctions and image samples on eBay (Click here).

Finally also the new Sony Alpha 580 is in Stock here and there. For those of you that do not care about Autofocus speed during videorecording the A580 might is the better choice because of the Optical Viewfinder and the absence of the translucent mirror that would take you away some light (one third of stop).

In US:
Adorama has the Sony A580 with kit lens in Stock (Click here) and so some reseller on eBay (Click here).

In Europe:
Amazon Deutschland, Amazon UK and some reseller on eBay (Click here).

One of our readers (Thanks!) sent us a new patent about a Transmissive Display that can shifts from the non-transparent state into the transparent state by voltage application (Click here to see the patent). Is that Display a Hybrid solution like the one see inside the Fuji X100?
The interesting part is the camera body showed in the PDF (Click here). It layout looks completely different with current SONY DSLR body. A year ago we found the patent of the SLT cameras with the new camera design. So is Sony once again showing us a design of a future REAL camera? The design is clearly different than the current SLT translucent cameras! Take a look at the patent and let me know what you believe about the camera design…
