Hey, Big Spender: Please Consider the Givenchy Camera Case

GeekSugar — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:33:06 -0700

Forget for a moment how completely impractical it is to pay $3,620 for a camera case. Just check out the camera case Givenchy made. Clear crystals, black leather: yes, you'd feel like a fashionista badass pulling your camera out of that.

Back down to earth, though, I just gotta say, wowee. Three grand for something you paid under three hundred for?

I'm not here to judge if you're going to snap this up, but let me just say, if you're going to buy this, please also consider adopting me.

Snap Pics Like Kanye With a Panasonic Lumix LX3

GeekSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:48:21 -0700

Kanye just can't get enough digital cameras. We've already seen him with the stylish Leica D-LUX 3 at the 2007 Givenchy show in Paris a few years back, and now he's been spotted in London with a new Panasonic Lumix LX3 ($600) number around his neck.

The 10.1 megapixel LX3 is just what Kanye needs to capture great photos on his trips around the world - it comes with a large three inch LCD screen, shoots in 16:9 HD video, includes 21 fun scene modes like self portrait, pet, and starry sky, and it accepts expandable SD cards to boost its onboard 50MB internal memory space.

Plus, this portable number takes excellent low-light photos, thanks to its wide aperture range and the newly developed Leica DC Vairo-Summicron lens, which captures clear shots during late night outings, concerts, and candlelight dinners. Perfect for a geek on the go!

Kanye Has Some Photo Fun With His Leica D-LUX 3

Either Kanye West wanted to capture the moment at the Givenchy show in Paris this week or he was trying to impress the ladies with his beautiful Leica camera. Whatever the reason, he is sure to get some high quality pics from this digital camera. The Leica D-LUX 3 10-megapixel camera comes with 4x wide angle optical image stabilized zoom, a high quality lens and can capture pictures with enough detail for 18 x 24-inch prints-so Kanye can blow up this pic of him, Alexis, Courtney and Mario to ginormous proportions. You can purchase this camera from Amazon for $600. Source

Geek Of The Week: Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 11:00:43 -0700

Battlestar Galactica has a lot of street cred as a geeky, smart and fun Sci-fi show. In fact, it seems to attract non-geeks and geeks alike despite being about the end of the world and Cylons. Among the cast is former Victoria's Secret model Tricia Helfer, who plays Number Six, a Cylon that uses her looks as a weapon. "Every move and gesture of this human-form Cylon is smooth and precise," says her online profile. "She claims that God talks to her … and she, in turn, talks to Baltar. While her manifestation in Baltar's mind remains incorporeal, her numerous physical bodies each possess varying personalities and roles within the Cylon hierarchy." If that ain't Geek of the Week worthy, I don't know what is.

Helfer has been on the cover of Elle, Amica Italia and Cosmopolitan UK, and has walked the runways for Christian Dior, Givenchy, Claude Montana, Emanuel Ungaro and other top fashion designers. Geeky is chic, and even a little sexy, no?
