Nikon D4 Guts

The ultra-burly frame machined aluminum seems extremely difficult. We did not really hold the bare chassis, but the construction is apparent when you hold the camera real. Very robust but not heavy.

Sigma has announced two new lens for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) and Sony NEX system users. The lens are Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN and Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN featuring a newly developed linear AF motor that moving the lens elements directly without the need for gears or the drive of other mechanical parts.

The lens has Two glass mold aspherical lenses, including a double-sided aspherical lens which delivers excellent correction for all types of aberration. The Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN has construction consists of 8 elements in 6 groups and a rounded 7 blade diaphragm to create an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image. It has equivalent angle of view as a 38mm (35mm equivalent focal length) on the MFT systems and 28.5mm (35mm equivalent focal length) on the E-mount systems.

The lens has three glass mold aspherical lenses to provide excellent correction for distortion, color aberration and field curvature. Comes with AF motor system, the lens gives an accurate and quiet autofocusing on the still images shooting even in video recording.

The objective is equipped with Vibration Reduction (VR) to capture sharper images when shooting telephoto subjects, two ED glass, ultra-fast and quiet auto focus operation. On a Nikon 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 VR Nikkor 60mm diameter measures 61mm in length with weight approx. 180g/6.3oz.

SAMPLE PHOTOS

LowPro the X-50 Pro Roller Attaché is something different in a market of camera bags. It tries to be a hybrid, mixing camera bag with the bag of clothes. Personally, I was searching for a bag that can handle a subset of all my camera gear and clothing for a weekend. The Attaché x-50 feature is its ability to be either a roll or bag to move to a shoulder bag attached.

The bag has a number of splitters and can in fact deal with a Canon 7D with battery grip attached and long-term goal.
As a stand alone clothing bag, the part of pebble configuration with attached off is basic and functional. Tied up with the cover bag roll is required to open all the way by two side straps. The laptop compartment on the attached was much easier than the compartment of the bag roller and the attached has room for pens, paper and other office items.

The stand front actually help stop bag switch to the front flap of the bag when the roller is open. Also, the zipper on the bag main roller is right and seems better than the previous bags I looked at Lowe Pro. It adapts easily to all. Again, I prefer to carry my luggage to roll and roll the bag seems like more work than it’s worth, but it’s a personal preference.

Capacity:

Up to a pro DSLR (without grip) and attachéd lens; 2-4 lenses (up to a 70-200mm f/2.8) or accessories; up to 14” widescreen laptop; documents and personal items; main case may be used as luggage when inner case removed

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM is a telephoto zoom. The aim has 70-300mm in length with maximum aperture of F/4.5-5.6. Focusing: Rear focusing system with focusing cam to the point close to 1.4 m / 4.6 feet and has a filter size of 58mm. The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM weighs 25.4 ounces and measuring 3.2 inches in diameter and 4 cm long.

“Bokeh is good.” This objective measures good for the blur. F/5.6 is the best opening when the lens is at its widest focal length and f/16 is the strongest opening to 300mm. ”

Canon raises the stakes for professional photography with its EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM telephoto lens with image stabilization. A virtually silent ultra-sonic motor (USM) gives the lens extremely fast autofocus. The lens also includes Canon’s Image Stabilization technology to dramatically reduce camera shake, compensating for approximately three stops in shutter speed without any perceptible increase in image blur.

DO Elements
Use of the new three-layer DO lens drastically reduces the overall length and weight of the lens system increasing the refractive power of each lens element and reducing the spaces between elements. It’s approximately 26 percent shorter and 36 percent lighter than any lens of comparable specifications.

Zoom lock
The EF 70-300mm lens features a zoom ring locking mechanism, locking the lens at its shortest total length. This helps to protect the lens from potential damage by preventing the zoom elements extending under their own weight, which might otherwise occur when the lens is mounted to a camera that hangs from a neck or shoulder strap.

Image Stabilization
The lens incorporates Canon’s Image Stabilization (IS) technology, compensating for approximately three stops without any perceptible increase in image blur when shooting static subjects or panning.

Fast AF
A rear focusing ring type USM, high-speed CPU and new AF algorithms combine to give the lens extremely fast auto-focusing. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 1.4m throughout the entire zoom range.

Both cameras use the same 12-megapixel Live MOS sensor, basic body shape and lenses, but the G2 has an articulating LCD, touch-screen autofocus and other enhancements. The G10 is designed as a basic, low-cost companion, and the ideal introduction to Panasonic’s Micro Four Thirds range.

The GF1 is styled more like a rangefinder compact rather than a D-SLR, drawing parallels with Olympus’s Pen cameras.

The G10 is styled like a digital SLR, but it’s significantly smaller and lighter. The 14-42mm lens is a little narrower than a digital SLR’s kit lens but about the same length. The focussing ring has a nice, smooth movement too, though there’s no distance scale – that’s only displayed on the LCD in manual focus mode. With the 14-42mm kit lens fitted, the G10 is a little lighter and smaller than an entry-level digital SLR, but it’s still not the sort of camera you could put in a coat pocket. For that you’d really need a compact hybrid like the Lumix GF1 and maybe Panasonic’s 20mm pancake lens. The original Lumix G1 and the new G2 both have automatic eye sensors which switch the display from the rear LCD to the electronic viewfinder when you put the camera to your eye.

Unlike a D-SLR, the G10 doesn’t have a separate autofocus sensor and instead it relies on the sensor-based contrast-detection systems used by compacts.

It’s a good question because Micro Four Thirds sensors are smaller than the APS-C sensors used in the majority of D-SLRs. All cameras will clip highlight or shadow detail if the exposure’s not quite right or if the scene has unusually high contrast, and there’s nothing in any of the test shots taken with this camera to suggest it’s worse than a normal D-SLR.

Nikon has announced the D3X, its latest professional DSLR great results.

Key features:

Construction of the lens has 16 elements in 12 groups and a diagonal angle of view at a temperature of 4 ° 10 ‘. Focus: Internal focusing system with focusing cam, a distance of 4.5m nearest center in ft / 14.77 and has a filter size of 52mm Drop-In. The Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS USM weighs 138.3 oz./3920g II. and measure 6.6 “/ 168mm in diameter and 17.6″ / 448mm in length.

Fluorite optical displays that provide sharper images with less chromatic aberration, the EF 600mm f/4L IS new large diameter Super II USM Telephoto also benefit from magnesium and titanium for the construction of lighter weight and the coating of fluoride continue to pollute, stains and fingerprints to a minimum.

Because image stabilization technology in order to compose a telephoto lens can inadvertently overcompensated and disturbing and frame distant subjects or in motion, the EF 600mm f/4L IS USM II includes three image stabilization advanced (mode 3), which activates only when the shutter is fully pressed. It allows users to surf the fast-moving subjects and then turn on only when really necessary.

Because the three IS modes give equivalent effect for up to four stops of extra performance, and thus added the Power Focus mode allows changing the fine focus while shooting video, the EF 600mm f/4L IS USM II is ideal to capture a quick-fire action. Other improvements such as better sealing dust and make the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS USM super telephoto lens II is very high performance digital tools combine the advantages of a remarkable ease of use with Canon‘s excellent durability.

Lens-making is an art, artisans craft Nikkor optics ÄìNikon from the finest materials, pride in adding their intellect and technique to bring the world the best WA lenses to life. They push the tip of the lens-making in their efforts to provide the, Äúglass, AU makes the world, larger images OSA.

AF Nikkor work with Nikon SLRs for optimal performance, even very recent. The Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm is an ideal way f1.8D compact and portable telephoto lens for portraits indoors or outdoors. An excellent choice for your first telephoto lens, it features subtle blurring of background for beautifully natural and evocative portraits, the back of the system developed for fast optical performance and smooth, and weighs 13.2 ounces

Nikon Super Integrated Coating ensures exceptional performance
To improve the performance of its optical lenses, Nikon uses an exclusive lens coating that reduces multi-layer and flare to a negligible level. Nikon Super Integrated Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and color balance and reproduction. Nikon Super Integrated Coating is especially effective for lenses with a large number of items, like our Zoom-Nikkor. In addition, Nikon, a multilayer coating process is tailored to the AO design of each particular lens. The number of coatings applied to each lens is carefully calculated to match the lens type and glass used, and also to ensure uniform color balance that characterizes Nikkor lenses. This results in lenses that meet much higher standards than the rest of the industry.

Back focus
With Nikon, rear focusing AOS (RF) system, all lenses are divided into specific lens groups, with only the rear lens group moving for focusing. This makes autofocusing operation smoother and faster.

Remote information
Nikkor D-type and G-type relay information about remote-camera Nikon AF bodies. This then allows possible advances like 3D Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash. Note: Type D and G-type Nikkor provide information to remote cameras: Auto exposure; F6, F5, F100, F90X, F80, F75, F70, F65, F60, F55, F50, S Pronea, Pronea 600i, D2 series, D1 series, D100, and D70s/D70.

This lens normal full-frame ($ 220 street) is one of the cheapest food in the world of high speed Nikkor glass. As with all Nikon lenses G, diaphragm its parameters are processed electronically by the camera, there is no aperture ring. Nikon DX on the organs, with their APS-C size sensors, the new scale to the equivalent of 50mm to 75mm.

Less than 8 ounces and just over 2 inches long, the lens is compact, but big enough for the largest class-action full-frame 50mm f/1.8 lens from 1.5 to 1.75 inches. Aesthetically appealing, with marks of gold surfaces and easy to maneuver, it has a ring well damped manual focus that runs at 120 degrees for fully manual focus accurately. And you may find yourself using frequently, because the interface AF / MF is transparent: You can easily touch up focus manually while the lens is AF-ready. Thank you Silent Wave motor, AF is fast, accurate and virtually silent, well suited to video DSLRs, especially when using a microphone off camera.

On our optical bench, it has produced consistently excellent line sharpness and contrast for the number of outputs up to 11×14 inches, our benchmark. (Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens introduced in the 1990s and again in the catalog, fell down into the Excellent range and good for larger openings.) In our tests using DxO Analyzer 4.0 distortion This target was rushing into the light-(0.26%). Although this may not seem like much, the comparable D Nikkor optics produced visible range barreling (0.50%) in our tests. Indeed, back in their heyday, the film-era glass 50mm f/1.8 for most manufacturers duly authorized Visible barrel distortion very visible.

Like all lenses in the 50mm full-frame body, Nikon offers a viewing angle that approximates that of the human eye. The result is imagery Free apparent perspective distortion that occurs with a broader and longer. For this reason alone, everyone needs a normal.

As a lens at high speed, it produces nicely defocused foreground and backgroud, high shutter speeds to stop action, and sends a lot of light for shooting dimly lit scenes and places. Its compact profile suits him to travel and street photography at prices unbelievable attractiveness.
