The list of lists is here – the completely incomplete list of classic things. Cars, shoes, CDs, cameras, novels – like, everything.

And ‘classic’ is a broad church. You should own an E-Type and a Landrover Defender. Jack Purcells and Gucci loafers. Hüsker Dü AND Lionel Richie.

…Dipping his Jheri-curled soul into everything from renegade funk (“Running With the Night”) to stone-skipping syrup (“Stuck On You”), Richie creates one of the greatest guilty pleasures in music history. You will know the words to each and every song, and you will sing them and dance like a fool.

Worth a read, if only to see why Gore Vidal and Point Break should live side-by-side on your shelf.

The camera is now as much of a fashion accessory as a nice watch, so you had best have one that is as spiffy as can be. To that end, we offer you a glimpse as the brand spanking new Leica C-Lux 1, an ultracompact digital picture taker.

This is the latest in Leica’s digital cameras. It comes in an elegant black metal exterior and measures 2-inches by 4-inches. This is a 6-megapixel camera that also features an ultra-short shutter delay, precise auto-focus measurement and a slew of other options. The ease of use, size, quality and large 2.5-inch screen would make this camera excellent for any situation.

If you’re in the market for a camera but aren’t quite ready to make the plunge and buy something like the Rolleiflex MiniDigi, peruse this helpful article before wandering into a local electronics store. The provided glossary is useful, and the camera-savvy writer knows enough about his craft to expose digital zoom as an “overrated gimmick.”

One of the most important steps in the process involves some pre-shopping introspection. How are you going to use the camera, now and in the future? The occasional point-and-shoot for parties and events? Online photography? Casual hobby? Serious hobby? The answer could mean a difference of hundreds of dollars, so give it due consideration.

A personal recommendation for the casual photog who wants to break into the digital era: the ultra-compact 5.0MP Canon SD400 pictured above.

The classic meets the modern in this digital camera from Rolleiflex. You can’t find one in the U.S. yet, but borders are for people without the internet.

First developed in Germany in the 1920’s, the Rollei 6×6cm Twin Lens Reflex Camera has always been a preferred tool for serious photography, especially portraits.

Now, many of the outstanding convenience features and nostalgic design can be yours in a fashionable up-to-date digital. The Rolleiflex MiniDigi, a world’s first in its class

I’ve often wondered why the camera in my pocket — which has a fast processor, a big beautiful screen, and a four-way rocker-switch — doesn’t come with a couple thousand video-games, given its capacious memory. Now we’re seeing the start of it. But it’s pretty thin — I want a MAME camera that’ll play every game ever made.

Apparently the folks at Boing Boing aren’t the only ones who think their cameras should play games. This site is dedicated to running classic old-school games like Donkey Kong, Tetris and DOOM on your digital camera. You’re welcome to download, but I’d suggest the readme first.

It is the end, my only friend… Nikon has dumped their film camera line and is focusing only on digital. I mean Paul Simon sang about his Nikon camera, not his Nikon 8-megapixel CMOS sensor. But all good things must end.

Kodak, which we all remember from our ill-spent youth, has changed from the Classic “Techno K” to some sort of blobby new look. Things change, I suppose.
