With the introduction of smaller and smaller cameras the world became almost obsessed with recording every moment of their lives. We have seen an explosion of gadgets apps and services that allow us to post images and videos of our daily activities. For the most part these are mildly interesting, but not really ground shaking. There is an area that while appearing innocuous, can actually be an important one in many ways. This new area of life recording is the dashcam. These devices are designed to record our travels on the roads (and off). In most cases they are forward facing and do not do much more than record the road ahead of you to some sort of removable media. In more advanced cases they are capable of watching the road, ensuring that you are not drifting, warning if you are too close to something ahead of you and tracking your location. With these advanced cameras you have a safety product in addition to being able to broadcast your driving habits. Today we will be taking a look at one of these advanced models, the Papago P2 Pro. So let’s dive in and see what it can do.

Samsung has introduced a camera with mobile phone functionality, or the mobile phone with camera funcionality. It is a model Galaxy K Zoom which allows users to easily capture images, but also all the advantages offered by the Android platform.

The company known mainly for its navigation systems, Garmin, introduced their new product, designed for drivers, of course.

Socioalmatic’s "Instagram camera" is a hybrid digital camera and small format printer with which the company plans to provide their customers the experience of modern instant cameras as they could once have with the celebrated American company Polaroid.
