Famous Parisian boutique and concept store L’Eclaireur is celebrating its 30th anniversary next month. For the occasion they teamed up with Gilles Ouaki and Leica, to produce a limited edition of their X1 digital camera. The camera is signed by Ouaki and the store, and features red leather details. Only limited to 30 pieces, the camera will be released on October 14th.

Fujifilm has revealed a beautiful competitor in the Micro Four Thirds market – the FinePix X100.

“Aside from supporting 720p movies, boasting an EXR processor and shipping with a 23mm F2 Fujinon lens, this new handheld includes a Hybrid Viewfinder that enables users to toggle between optical and electronic viewfinders and display intricate shooting information right into the OVF.

There’s also a 2.8-inch rear LCD, a hot shoe on top and a magnesium alloy top / base plate that might be the sexiest we’ve ever seen on a camera in this sector. Low-light shooters will appreciate the ISO range of 200 to 6400, and there’s also 5fps continuous shooting, a full-on manual mode, SD / SDHC / SDXC card support and dimensions of 127- x 75- x 54mm.”

An interesting camera that we look forward to see and test early next year.

An interesting new version of the Pentax Optio NB1000 has been released, adding a custom Lego style look to the digital camera.

“Japanese imaging company Pentax’s Optio NB1000 Point and Shoot camera has a front panel which is covered in a Lego-like piece compatible with nanoblocks (a construction block system similar to lego) from Japan’s Diablock. Different sizes of these blocks can be attached to the face of the camera so that you can personalize it with patterns, mini sculptures. The blocks also have more than just an aesthetic appeal. they can be used to help capture your images – arrangement around the lens can form frames for your pictures.”

We have been fans of the Canon G-Series ever since the G9 and now Nikon is finally offering an alternative. Next to 10.1 megapixels and a 7.1 optical zoom, the camera also lets you record HD video. We are definitely looking forward to test it out in the coming weeks!

We have been fans of Ricoh for a while, as they manage to bring together a nice set of functions and solid design in their cameras, while sticking to what is most needed, rather than adding lots of useless functionality. The new CX4 is the perfect camera to carry around in your pocket at all times. It is more compact than their GR range and also easier to use. It has been released this week in 3 colorways.

In an interesting new project, artist Tom Sachs has gone ahead and customized 12 Canon SD780 IS Digital ELPH’s. Entitled “Like a Leica” the artist has given the Canon camera the Leica look.

“Handmade at the artist’s studio in New York City.

This 12.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH pocket-camera has been rebranded into a Leica. Shoots HD movie (and is the preferred camera of the Neistat Brothers). Engravings, paint and customized stickers ensure the experience is better than genuine.”

The camera is now available, limited to 12 pieces, from colette and from the artist direct.

In an interesting collaboration, Stussy has worked with Ricoh on the GR Digitial III as part of their 30th anniversary celebration.
