Major Instagram updates include video for Android
Instagram just announced yet another update but this one's pretty good. First, Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) Instagram finally gets video, pairing it closer to the iOS version of the app. But there's more, too.
Both platforms no longer have to shoot-to-share; videos can be imported from your library, trimmed and square-cropped -- you get to choose where it's cropped, with the new, built-in edit/crop feature.

 |
With the latest update, you can select and share videos from your media library.
|
A new editing function allows you to trim and square-crop your videos before sharing it with other Instagrammers.
|
iOS users also get a new straightening tool for still photos. Instagram will automatically straighten a photo taken with the in-app camera with a tap of the Straighten icon. If your horizons are off-kilter in other images, you can pull them from your media library and, using a slider, tweak until they're level.
 |
 |
Skewed horizons are not uncommon but iOS Instagram v. 4.1 can now automatically straighten images shot with the in-app camera.
|
Crooked horizons from any still image in your media library can be leveled manually with the new Straighten tool's slider in Instagram v. 4.1 for iOS.
|
Instagram v. 4.1 should be available momentarily for download for iOS and Android.

Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
