mmhmmm. Leica’s got our number. That’s for sure. We love ourselves some retro rangefinders and it looks like the next two Leica digicams will follow that style.

We’re pretty happy to announce that Gizmodo Gallery is returning again after our successful run last year in New York , and this time it will be bigger and better. This year we’re renting out a street level space in the New York neighborhood of NoLita from September 23rd to the 27th, where we plan to showcase our favorite tech related items from the last year or so. Expect some of the same types of stuff as last year, but we have all sorts of new ideas for this year that we think will make this year’s gallery even more noteworthy.
