Ever wondered what it feels like to tear down a $58,000 professional video camera? Well, unless you're as minted as Peter Jackson or James Cameron, chances are you'll never get close to a RED EPIC-M (without breaking the law) to find out. That said, you may get some insight from this fresh batch of disassembly shots, courtesy of the FCC. Sure, there aren't any jewels or unicorns hidden inside this powerful 5K imager, but you'll get plenty of close-up shots of its delicate circuitry -- it's actually pretty impressive how much the hand-machined chassis holds. Head over to Wireless Goodness to admire the full glory, but make sure you don't dribble over your keyboard.

Casio Tryx (EX-TR100) review

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/04/casio-tryx-ex-tr100-review/

Given the sheer quantity of marketing muscle that Casio put behind the Tryx, you'd think the company was gearing up to rival Nikon and Canon in the DSLR space. Instead, out popped the outre device you see above. Without qualification, this is one of the strangest, most bizarrely designed cameras we've ever seen, featuring a pop-out display and a grand total of two buttons for operation. At 4.8- x 2.3- x 0.6-inches, it's certainly one of the slimmest, easy-to-carry point-and-shoots on the market, but is the absence of an optical zoom and a removable battery enough to tank an otherwise radical idea? Head on past the break for our two pennies.

Is Nokia Making a Dual-Screen 3D Phone? [Phones]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/#!5798414/is-nokia-making-a-dual+screen-3d-phone

When in doubt, go 3D. Hey, it's working so well for everyone else, so why shouldn't Nokia have a stab too? A patent has arisen showing a Nintendo 3DS-style dual-screen phone with both 2D and (glassesless) 3D screens. Dual-cameras would shoot 3D content similar to LG's G-Slate/Optimus Pad and Optimus 3D/Thrill 4G phone, but unlike LG's tablet it actually shows autostereoscopic 3D right there on the screen.

The patent shows that the 3D cameras can be controlled using gestures or by touching the bottom 2D screen, and mentions that rivals' efforts (looking at Nintendo, obviously) are "typically poorly implemented," suggesting they're going to have a wider 3D viewing area rather than just the usual sweet spot. Nokia is also exploring making the 3D display touchscreen along with the 2D screen, which could certainly lead to some interesting games in the future. [UnwiredView via IntoMobile via SlashGear]
