Online photo portfolio review: Testing out 500px?s new web portfolio service
Last month 500px announced it was rolling out a new portfolio system for paying users, and over the last week or two, users have been receiving emails letting them know that the service is now up and running.We took 500px's new portfolio system for a spin to see just how easy it is to get a dedicated site for your images looking nice and pretty.
Here's what we thought of this new service from 500px, which is a direct competitor to Flickr's recently overhauled system.

Torture test video shows Nikon D3S being dragged to hell and back (and surviving)
Everyone knows Nikon's flagship professional digital SLRs are tough cameras, but how tough are they really? In our 2010 review of the D3S, we praised its "rugged construction with magnesium alloy body and full environmental sealing." Half the time, though, most photographers don't get close to pushing these cameras to their limits.
The folks at French website Pixelistes certainly do though, and they've proven it with the below "Le crash test" video of the Nikon D3S. In the 15-minute camera torture clip -- yes, it probably...

Parody video pokes fun at the upcoming rise of the Google Glass photographer
Ever since Google introduced its Project Glass project last year, privacy advocates have been up in arms. Some have predicted that the wearable computer -- which features a small built-in camera that can be activated simply by winking -- is the beginning of the end for any hope of privacy we might have beyond our doorstep. A future not unlike that in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is on the way, they suggest, with barely-noticeable cameras tracking and reporting upon your every move and action.
The truth revealed in the the head-mounted Google Glass...

Leica teases new Mini M camera ahead of June announcement
High-end camera manufacturer Leica has started a flurry of rumors by teasing a new camera to be announced next month. Leica uploaded a picture to both its website and Facebook page with a mysterious object labeled the "Mini M" sitting between the Leica M and Leica X2. Set to be unveiled June 11th, there's unfortunately nothing else we know about what this camera might be.
Unsurprisingly, this little snippet of information has caused a huge amount of discussion about what this new camera might be. Leica's own compact system...

Canon still pursuing Foveon-style multi-layer sensor design
Canon has patented a color-sensitive multi-layered sensor design, showing the company is still pursuing the technology. Like Sigma's Foveon chips, the multi-layered design allows each of the sensor's pixels to capture color information without the need for colored filters. The patent, discovered by the Japanese Engineering Accomplishment blog, suggests a system to promote resonance within the sensor, in an attempt to make the lower layers of the sensor more sensitive.

Leica teases 'Mini M' for 11th June release
Leica has placed a teaser on its Facebook page for a new 'Mini M' camera to be launched on June 11th, that apparently will slot into its range between the M rangefinder and the X2 fixed-lens compact. It's given no other details, but we think it could make sense for the company to produce a full-time live view version of the M Typ 240, using the same sensor but with the expensive rangefinder assembly removed. This would result in a 24MP full frame mirrorless camera that would be able to use almost any manual focus SLR or rangefinder lens ever made, without a field-of-view crop.

Photographer captures concert with DSLR-mounted GoPro
If you've never had the chance to stand in the front row and shoot a live concert, Montreal-based photographer Pierre Bourgault has the next best thing. He attached a GoPro camera to the top of his Canon DSLR and recorded a seven-minute video of his shooting experience at a Dead to Me concert. He then overlaid the actual photos taken at the show, which you can view after the break.

A few thoughts about the Nikon D4
Since picking up a Nikon D4 in March it has been my go-to camera for low light and high speed photography, supplementing a D800E that's now used for just about everything else. Here are a few observations about D4 image quality, autofocus, wireless networking and more.

New Vagabond Mini Lithium mounting option now available
In November 2011, we published a roundup of some of the light stand mounting methods available for the Paul C. Buff Vagabond Mini Lithium portable power pack. It included a homegrown solution developed by photographer James Burke, one that we really liked but lacked the tools and skill to make ourselves. Burke has solved that problem, by turning his custom clamp into a product that's now available for purchase.
