Leica S2 DSLR camera

Not for your “I have been snapping for a week photographer”, Leica, well known for their amazing cameras (m range), will release its S2 DSLR this month. The price tag will be a an astronomical £14,000 as an approximation, we will see with the current economical situation stays. That price is also for just the body! I repeat, just the body, and considering how expensive that is, anyone who knows Leica knows that they do not produce cheap lenses as well!
Lets break it down now;

• This beast is shooting at 37.5 megapixels,
• features a  30×45mm sensor and a sapphire glass monitor,
• It is smaller than any other high end camera in its league par example, Canon EOS MK3, Nikon D3 perhaps,

Because this camera is that tad bit smaller, I think, any photographers that cannot afford the Hasselblad H4D might give this camera a shout! Some sample shots by fashion photographer Robert Grischek;

Adi-rise by Adidas Originals

Adidas Originals - The Spring/Summer 2010 collection will begin to hit stores over the next couple of weeks. They've already released the Star Wars range and now you'll start to see some of the other fresh items that will be on the shelves this January. Enter, the adi-rise: With the range of much admired, iconic heritage models available from the adidas catalog, it would be easy for the Trefoil taskmasters to get caught looking backwards and forget about the vision that made the company so great to begin with. Thankfully this isn’t the case as they continue to see a stream of innovative ideas and new silhouettes every season from the creative heads at adidas.

Case in point is the adi-rise (AKA "Highrise"), a bold, inspired hi-top that is guaranteed to turn heads next year with its effortless street stylings and range of great color make ups. The full grain, premium leather upper is neatly contrasted with a snake emboss on the ankle collar and around the toe-box and eye-stays while the forefoot and heel straps carry through the urban feel of the model. With the 3-Stripes perforated and subtle branding aside from the over-sized Trefoil on the tongue, the adi-rise is destined to become another understated classic. It will drop in January 2010, at all adidas Originals stores and select retailers.
