The mobile action cam market isn't new; just look at companies such as GoPro and Contour HD. But Giovanni Tomaselli thinks it's just about time for a new player.Founder and CEO of ION, Tomaselli is launching a new camera today: the ION Air Pro Camera. And with years of experience designing cameras for Kodak, Casio and Nikon, he is confident his latest creation will knock the other action cams off their feet."All I wanted to do was design an action camera that had the smallest footprint, but was still the absolute best product," Tomaselli told ABC News.

The ION Air Pro HD weighs 4.5 ounces (the GoPro weighs 3.5 ounces) and is waterproof up to 30 feet and wind resistant. The camera, which looks like a shrunken flashlight, was designed with a curved front lens so that water would naturally drip off and not linger on the shot.The real unique feature of the ION comes with what Tomaselli has called Podz. The bottom of the circular camera has a little opening where you can attach small circular modules or Podz. The first module that will be available for the ION is a WiFi Podz; attach it and the camera will be able to automatically upload footage to an iOS device (iPhone or iPad) or to a computer.

It was also designed to be simple to operate. Slide the toggle on the top of the camera and you turn it on and start recording. In a demo of the product, Tomaselli was quick to point out that it was specifically designed for "one-click capture."Like other action cameras, the ION Air Pro HD is compatible with helmet mounts, but the mount - or CamLOCK, as ION calls it - has been designed so you can just swivel the camera around to adjust its position. It will also flip the orientation of the image in the video, so you don't record upside down. The ION captures 1080p video but users are required to purchase a microSD memory card. It can accommodate up to 32-gigabyte card.

There is one sound that sends thousands of Bay Area drivers running to their cars: street sweepers. Every day, parking control officers in Oakland ticket drivers who've waited too long to move their cars for street cleaning.In Oakland, street sweeping citations brought in almost $10 million last year and it made up 39 percent of all tickets issued.Across the Bay, street sweeping raked in $29 million a year, $6 million more than fines for expired parking meters and more money than any other type of traffic citation.Transit officials are now testing out two sweepers that have been mounted with license plate-scanning cameras.

The city said the goal is to automate the ticketing and free up parking control officers."We hope that with a program like this, we can use those parking control officers for different services around the city, whether it's directing traffic or enforcing where we need them," said San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency spokesman Paul Rose.Five months in and so far no one has received a ticket with the new system, but that could soon change."We haven't issued a citation because we're still working it out. We're trying different vehicles," Rose said. "We're trying different routes to make sure that it can work. But it's still too early to say."

Transportation officials said the data captured by the the cameras could be shared with law enforcement agencies who are looking for certain license plates and other violations.Brick red light camera profits top $1M in 2 years.That worries some drivers in San Francisco's Noe Valley."Where's this information going to be held? Who's going to be controlling the information?" said San Francisco resident Michael Fasman.Oakland will soon test out similar street sweeper cameras. San Francisco is set to look at its results in the fall.

Two red light cameras installed two years ago have added more than $1 million to the municipal coffers, according to township records.In 2011, the township took in $929,701 in revenue from the cameras while paying out $377,599.94 in fees to the state and Arizona-based American Traffic Solutions, the group that installs and monitors the camera. In 2010, the township took in $883,930 in revenue, while paying out $364,523 in fees to the state and ATS.

Mayor Stephen Acropolis said the cameras are more than a revenue source for municipalities."If this was a money grab then we would have a higher ticket fee (the fine for running a red light in the township is $85)," Acropolis said. "If people are running red lights, they deserve to get a ticket. This is a safety issue."The money raised from the cameras is used to help offset property taxes, township officials said. The profit from camera saves taxpayers approximately half a cent on the municipal tax rate. A penny on the tax rate is equal to $1.1 million in spending, officials said.

The red light camera program, which started in 2010, has been so successful that the township has added a third camera to the corner of Route 70 and Brick Boulevard. The township now has cameras at the corner of Brick Boulevard/Chambers Bridge Road and Route 70/Chambers Bridge Road.Last year, the police department issued 13,661 summonses through the red light camera program. There were 5,503 summonses issued at the corner of corner of Route 70 and Chambers Bridge Road. At the intersection of Brick Boulevard and Chambers Bridge Road, 8,158 summonses were issued.

For their first show at The Center for Arts in Natick, Boston Camera Club members are exhibiting a striking mix of images that reflect the prestigious organization's emphasis on "photography as an art and science."Dave Finks, who organized the exhibit, said 18 members are showing and selling more than 30 color and black-and-white photos, including portraits, nature and wildlife, architecture, DeLand to negotiate new red-light camera contract.travel and fine arts photos.He predicted viewers would be "blown away" by the overall quality of photos on display."

"Most members in the show have won awards in the club's monthly competitions," said the Framingham native who serves as BCC's exhibitions and publicity coordinator. "Viewers will see work by photographers with a very solid grasp of the technical aspects of photography including composition, lighting and printing."Arthur Sharenow of Lexington is showing gorgeous natural scenes of a mother egret feeding her babies and a striking shot of the rock formation Delicate Arch in Utah.A jewelry maker with an eye for detail, Melanie Guerra, of Westwood, is showing a close-up of the Gehry Amphitheater in Chicago that's as multifaceted as a fine diamond.

Since joining the club a year ago, Guerra said the in-house competitions and contact with other club members have renewed her longtime interest in photography, making it "much more than a hobby."And Jurgen Lobert is showing a stunning overhead view of Boston that seems to have been taken by a satellite. The Franklin photographer explained the seeming overhead view originated "from a straight panorama that I took from East Boston. The panorama is then curved into what is called a polar panorama using Photoshop."

City officials will start negotiating with Gatso USA Inc. to install red-light cameras in DeLand, using the same vendor that already operates cameras in Holly Hill and Daytona Beach.After repeated delays with a previous vendor, Sensys America Inc., city officials voted in February to terminate its contract to operate up to five cameras in DeLand.Instead, they decided Monday night to begin negotiating with Gatso USA. Gatso officials have said they are ready to begin work May 21 and can have the red-light cameras installed and running within 60 to 90 days, city officials said.

Holly Hill City Manager James McCroskey said his city has contracted with Gatso for about a year. In that time, the city has seen a 42 percent drop in accidents at several intersections with red-light cameras, including LPGA Boulevard and Ridgewood Avenue and LPGA Boulevard and Nova Road.But the program has not generated as much revenue as city officials initially were led to believe, he said. He attributed the shortfall to the legal system, noting judges are reluctant to fine drivers ticketed for making right turns on red.

Red-light camera citations cost motorists $158. The fine increases to $264 if the fine is not paid within 60 days. The money is divided between the city, the state and the company.Holly Hill pays Gatso a monthly fee for the use of the equipment. That money comes from the revenue derived from the city's share of ticket fines."We break even on the cost" associated with the equipment, McCroskey said, noting the city has the added expense of sending officers to court to testify.

Thanks to 16 "hidden" cameras planted around Antarctica, researchers have captured images of penguin colonies going about their business during the frozen continent's harsh winter months - rare images indeed, since the brutal conditions makes it impossible for humans to work there in the winter.Everything we officially know about IKEA's cardboard disposable camera.Researchers from the Zoological Society of London set up time-lapse cameras on the continent and on sub-Antarctic South Georgia Island to capture aspects of the penguin life cycle that typically go unseen.

The camera traps, weighted down with rocks, were placed in a variety of positions overlooking penguin colonies in Antarctica. They spied gentoo penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula, and kept watch on king penguins on South Georgia Island.Snow buried the camera staking out the gentoo penguins for part of the winter, but the hardy camera kept on filming.Each camera trap captured several images a day, which have been compiled into a video revealing the penguins' movements, breeding activity, and the arrival of a new generation of fuzzy young chicks.

"Antarctica is one of the world's least explored regions, making it all the more important for us to collect worthwhile data on wildlife," ZSL researcher Ben Collen said in a statement. "New information is vital for making informed conservation decisions, so we are able to best manage species under pressure and deal with the wider global implications of climate change."With the help of cameras traveling aboard satellites, British researchers recently uncovered several undiscovered colonies of emperor penguins in Antarctica, roughly doubling the population estimate for the iconic birds.

Designed by Jesper Kouthoofd, the KN?PPA (which incidentally sounds like Snap-pa) disposable digital camera measures 4.13 by 2.56-inch and is held together with two plastic screws. It is capable of taking 2.3 megapixel images, and the entire system runs on a single circuit board that contains the functionality programming and camera sensor. The memory, as we know, is capable of up to 40 pictures before users have to manually transfer them out to their computers using the foldaway USB stick on the upper corner. To clear the photos, insert a paper clip or a similarly thin stick into the reset button and hold for five seconds to reset the memory.

The battery is as we suspected: It doesn't look like the design allows for replacement without ripping the cardboard body so once the juice is up, it's time to recycle the camera.To prevent the eco-friendly camera from taking its own pictures while stored in your bag or pocket, the shutter button doubles as the power button. Holding the button down for a few seconds turns it on before the clicking actually snaps photos. Each photo is a three second exposure, and takes eight seconds to process so obviously users should be aware the camera is as budget as budget comes. Good thing you don't have to pay for it!World's largest digital camera one step closer to reality.

Lucky IKEA customers might be able to experience the KN?PPA in the near future as the company is planning to give away limited supplies in stores to promote the new PS 2012 Collection. The camera comes as part of the new line's campaign to encourage people to take photos of IKEA furniture and share images worldwide. Sorry to disappoint those who were hoping to buy the cameras in bulk to use for photo projects or as a wedding table accessory. Despite this venture along with the UPPLEVA entertainment system, an IKEA spokesperson told BBC the products are not the Swedish company's "move into selling any digital equipment."

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Project (LSST), a 3-billion pixel camera/telescope to perch atop the Cerro Pachón mountain peak in Chile, has received "Critical Decision 1″ (CD-1) approval by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to move into the next stage of the project.Now the project begins a detailed engineering design, schedule, and budget phase, with the DOE funding the design and construction. The full cost and logistics of the small car-sized telescope will be shared by the DOE and the National Science Foundation, as well as a large partnership of public and private organizations in the United States and abroad.

The LSST will capture about 6 million gigabytes per year, the equivalent of shooting roughly 800,000 images with a regular 8-megapixel digital camera every night. The images are expected to help unlock the secrets of dark energy and dark matter and aid studies of near-Earth asteroids, Kuiper belt objects, the structure of our galaxy, and many other areas of astronomy and fundamental physics.

"With 189 sensors and over three tons of components that have to be packed into an extremely tight space, you can imagine this is a very complex instrument," said Nadine Kurita, the project manager for the LSST camera at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. "But given the enormous challenges required to provide such a comprehensive view of the universe, it's been an incredible opportunity to design something so unique."

Paul Wilkes has found the path to happiness by taking and sharing his photographs with all who cross his lens.Using his motorized scooter and Canon camera, Wilkes has managed to bring images to life - mostly within a five-mile radius of the Wyndham assisted-living facility in Arroyo Grande - that show off the beauty of poppies, roses, dandelions, animals, the ocean and much more."My camera becomes my paintbrush," said Wilkes, 69. "I just put my pedal to the metal and try, try, try. I'd go crazy if I was not doing photography."This week, Wilkes is continuing his sharing ways with a photo show for the public at the Wyndham's lobby, 222 S. Elm St. The exhibit, running from now through April 30, features about 50 of Wilkes' photographs.

Wilkes, who never was a professional photographer, got hooked on the hobby when he was a teenager, mostly shooting sea life underwater."I did it for the love of water," said Wilkes, adding he then gave up his hobby years ago after retiring and selling his manufacturing business that made high-tech hubs for bicycles in San Diego.Later, he was approached by a friend at Wyndham Residence, Harriett England, who has since moved.Wilkes said he began showing photos to her at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The pictures became a way for others to forget any troubles and enjoy the pure beauty of images, he explained.Security cameras will be installed in Hasbrouck Heights park.

With the encouragement of England, staff and others, Wilkes has given out free photographs for birthdays and special occasions. Many of them - all produced with expensive photo paper in his room - are framed throughout the Wyndham facility.Resident Irene Thies has a photo of a sunset at the beach in her room, while Dorothy Landgraf received a red rose for her birthday she also proudly displays. Beulah Jung has a floral photograph she said she was lucky enough to get for sharing the same dinning room table with Paul.Wilkes, who volunteers about 40 hours a week at the nearby Arroyo Grande Care Facility, also has a large following there.

Police will be placing two security cameras to monitor the Central Avenue Park after receiving complaints of teenagers loitering in the area at night.At the March 27 council meeting, Central Avenue resident Thomas Kommenhok asked for a solution to the noise and loitering by teenagers at the Central Avenue Park on the weekends. Kommenhok said he has called police at least five times in one week. He said he doesn't want to take his children there because he finds piles of cigarette butts in the morning on the playground.

Mayor Rose Heck said the borough is aware of the situation and there has been an increase of police patrol in the area. Councilwoman Sonya Buckman said that she too has called the police because of the loitering two to three times on the weekends.Police Chief Michael Colaneri said after school from 3 to 5 p.m., 13 and 14 year olds can be found at the park and at night the age increases to 15 to 17 year olds."On warm nights on the weekends, you can see them there hanging out and meeting with their cars," he said.

Colaneri said the police department has purchased two different types of cameras to help monitor the park. One of the cameras will be located on the municipal building which is across the street from the park that will be recording at all times and a solar-powered portable camera. Colaneri said it has a motion detector on it that flashes and gives a warning. He said the camera can be put anywhere in the borough if there is a problem. Signs have been put up by the park and the borough has been locking the gates and fence at night to prevent people from entering the park after hours.
