With just days to go until PMA, it looks like security’s starting to slip a little bit — a little creative sonystyle.com URL trickery led Beline at the Dyxum forums to images of those Sony A300 and A350 DSLRs we’d heard about. The A300 is an update to the A200, adding in live preview and a flip-out swivel screen, while the A350 looks like it’ll be a 14.2 megapixel unit and probably includes live preview and the swivel screen as well. We’re hearing that an A900 is also in the works, but that’s a just a whisper — looks like there might be some surprises in store this week after all.

Update: Tons more pictures here, for the curious.

Regular graffiti not doing it for you? Looking for something a little more up-to-date than spraycans and brick walls? Perhaps you should direct your attention to the artist known as DAIM and his recent project creating real-time graffiti in 3D. By utilizing a multi-camera scheme, DAIM is able to smear virtual paint across an empty gallery space using special handheld markers which are tracked by proprietary (we assume) software, calling the project “Tagged in Motion.” A picture says a thousand words, and in this case, a video says about a million — so hit the clip after the break and see the work in action.

Update: The software in use is not proprietary, rather it’s the ARToolKit (or Augmented Reality Toolkit), which is an open source project. Thanks for the info Kenijo!
