You may recall we previously reported that Nikon setup their Mirrorless Cameras production line in China. And guess what? Here’s another lens manufacturer in China, and we were surprised with this 35mm/f0.95 lens (concept shot above) that they have produced. As far as we know, the lens is produced for Micro Four Thirds cameras, and there’re some image samples that we are going to show you after the break.
The 15th China P&E (Photograph & Electrical Imaging Machinery) exhibition was held at Beijing National Convention Center last Friday, which displayed lots of cameras and camcorders such as Nikon D4, D800, Canon 5D Mark III, etc…for tech savvy in China. Of course, this comes along with numerous sexy ladies from all over the world to heat up the temperature of the show! And, we have gathered lots of beautiful shots and several videos of the show girls after the break…
In China, contrary to the West, most couples get their wedding photos taken ahead of the actual marriage day. Rising cost of a wedding photo-shoot is forcing some Chinese couples to go the thrifty route. Instead of paying expensive professional photo shoot, the would-be bride has sought professional help offered by various online photography-related agencies. The agencies are providing manipulation of ordinary cell phone snaps into faked images for the wedding photo album. With the help of Photoshop software, a couple’s ordinary photo can be added with wedding dresses, flowers or even a tropical island setting to create faux wedding images …
Chinese customs authorities have detained 14 suspects in connection with a smuggling case that involved about 400 million yuan (US$63.5 million) worth of photographic and video equipment.

Meizu, a Chinese electronics manufacturer who has a history of “borrowing” design ideas from Apple, has finally bring a pretty nice feature to their MX Android smartphone. Using the 8-megapixel camera of the MX, users are now able to take a picture by sweeping their hand over the proximity sensor. Video demo after the break.
Alright, what you are seeing here is a next-generation iPod Nano with an alleged 1.3-megapixel camera on its back, while still keeping the current model’s size and display. It’s real, and it’s a two-month-old prototype that has big problems. It comes with an auto iris lens that can be affected by diffraction and blurring when the iris opening becomes too small in bright conditions. Ok, I gotta say it simply, it takes overexposed photos.
Had about 10+ emails asking us for some comparison between Meizu MX and other top smartphones these days, so we figured out we would spend some time to collect the results of tests that are done by Chinese tech sites who have got their hands on the Meizu MX. So, most of our readers want to know how does that new eight megapixel sensor and f/2.2 aperture lens make MX an appealing upgrade from Meizu’s last generation Android phone M9. And most importantly, how does the MX’s camera stack up against competition with Apple’s iPhone 4S and the super affordable Xiaomi? Jump past the break to see the results, and check out “our” comprehensive MX sample gallery below.
Two things. One, we love micro four thirds but we aren’t impressed by the new Nikon mirrorless cameras — the V1 and J1 . Two, here’s an in-depth look at the Chinese factory that makes Nikon’s mirrorless cameras.
We love Micro Four Thirds camera, so we think we must report this piece of news. Olympus is going to bring one of its new cameras in the family PEN to China today, the E-PL3. If you live in China, you can get the Olympus E-PL3 with a 14-42mm lens for 4,999 yuan (about $782). Available in 4 colors — red, silver, white and black. Check out the ads (exclusively for China) after the break.
Just a few weeks ago, we got our sweaty hands on the world’s tiniest Micro Four Thirds camera which is as small as a SD card. It was available for sale in limited stocks, and it was sold out within 24 hours. It’s definitely a must-have toy/cellphone strap for Olympus fanboys, and figure collectors. And today, it is in stock again at M.I.C. store, with two new models, tiny mini E-PL1 and E-P2, along with the previous E-PL2. Only 100 available, and check out a nice little video to see how amazing it is.
