Civil War-type battle re-enactments
I am a big fan of U.S. Civil War battle re-enactments and have created many videos of these, on Youtube. Here is the 1812 Battle between French and Russian troops – re-enacted with 3,000 soldiers and 300 horses and much more – well done!

3d photos taken with a single camera
While hiking I took several 3D photos using a single Canon SX1 IS camera. This works by taking a photo and then sliding the camera a couple of inches to the right and taking the same photo again. The left and right images are then combined with Stereo Photo Maker to create a 3D image.
Obviously, when handheld, camera pointing is not perfectly aligned in the left and right images. Much of the alignment can be cleaned up in Stereo Photo Maker but there will be little artifacts, like lens barrel distortion, still present. But still, this is an interesting way of easily photographing 3D photos of stationary subjects.

Polaroid announced camera running Android OS – in January 2012
I missed this: Aestesis, mobile things and all that stuff » Polaroid SC1630, Compact 16MP Camera with Android OS, the first SmartCamera.
- Last week, Samsung announced the Galaxy Camera, running Android 4.1 and featuring a quad core processor.
- New Nikon camera runs Android.
- Sony announced a app-capable camera – but it does not run Android.
Some rumor sites have said that an upcoming Panasonic Lumix GH-3 camera will feature its own custom software platform as well, enabling third parties to add additional capabilities to the camera. Just a rumor.
Micro four thirds astro photography
While the big full frame cameras have become popular for low light photography, a South African astronomer who says he’s not much of a photographer, created this gorgeous astrovideo using an Olympus E-P3 micro 4/3ds camera. Smaller frame sensors can, apparently, achieve excellent results in low light.
