Lomo cameras: low tech, high fun!

Oct 3, 2008 by FN's Chrissy Icamina

FISHEYE-FAMILY2.jpgThere's something really fascinating with going retro. With lomography, one is given a blast to the past with its plastic, point-and-shoot housing—which is a refreshing (and not to mention more affordable) way to practice photography in an age where pricey DSLRs reign supreme.

The other awesome thing about lomo cameras is they make your shots look artistic even if you haven't got an artsy bone in your body. Simply point and shoot, and you'll end up with cool photographs with splashes of color, lens effects, and breathtaking panoramic shots.

And as you can see here, they're awfully cute, too. Check out our gallery of lomo cameras care of the Lomographic Embassy of Manila and see which lomo cam will capture your fancy.

Samsung and Armani team up for fashion phone

Sep 26, 2008 by FN's Chrissy Icamina

armani-samsung-blue_1.jpgJust this weekend, the M75500 mobile phone was unveiled at an event in Milan, Italy. The candybar is a collaboration of Samsung and Emporio Armani, and is called "Night Effect."

This is the first Night Effect unit with the Emporio Armani label, and this so-called "effect" turns the mobile phone into a party phone of sorts, shifting its color lights at the label and side trim as it's being used.

It also boasts of a 2.2-inch display, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 120MB of internal memory, a memory card slot, and 3G.

For a handset branded with a designer label, though, it doesn't really look so fashionable. What do you think? Check out more photos after the jump.
