These days, most retails shops will bundle a cleaning kit when you purchase a camera. So if your point-and-shoot needs to stay clean, you should, too. And if you’re a devoted shutterbug who eats, lives and breathe photography, perhaps you should take a second look at this camera-shaped soap. Rob and Megan Green, otherwise known as Stinkybomb on the online store Etsy, are selling homemade soap for US$10. The mold which the soap is made from is an Olympus compact and modified to show the duo’s label.

At the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) tradeshow held in Anaheim, California, Olympus disclosed to magazine Amateur Photographer that it has intentions to remove the mirror components in its E-system dSLRs. The firm’s representative, Richard S Pelkowski, dSLR product manager of Olympus America, said that in 24 months’ time the E-system cameras won’t have a mirror box anymore. This will effectively make the dSLRs smaller and lighter without compromising image quality. This is because shooters such as the more diminutive E-P2 have the same image sensor as the high-end E3 dSLR. Pelkowski also said that future Pen cameras will have autofocus systems as fast as the E-series dSLRs, and we certainly hope so because Olympus’ Micro Four Thirds snappers are often criticized for their slow AF system. He also added that Olympus doesn’t see the need to change to larger sensor sizes like APS-C, because employing a larger imaging sensor will compromise the size of the lenses, making them bigger.
