One consequence of the slowdown in growth for CSCs is that the company is to review its 1 system planning system. Meanwhile, electronics company LG has unveiled a smartphone carrying a 13MP camera and optical image stabilisation (OIS). Elsewhere, there's quirky project from Olympus and Italian scooter manufacturer Vespa in the form of a ‘paparazzo' EP-5 camera kit. It costs a cool (pardon the pun) £16,000, so that's one for the 'Modfather' Paul Weller, then. Here's something sharp-eyed readers may be able to help with – a photographer in distress. Alex Nail, who runs workshops in Dartmoor, has had over £4,000 worth of photo gear stolen. He's listed the equipment taken on his website and is offering a reward. You can read more about his predicament on the AP website where there is also a link to his site. That's all for now. Enjoy another week of image making.
