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.

Lumix G10 is Panasonic’s new alternative to an SLR

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.

Photography, like life, is full of compromises. For an optimal image quality, you Aod have a bag full of fast aperture prime lenses, from wide angle to telephoto. However, not only you feel the weight of this lot laying around all day, you, Ehud probably sick of changing lenses while trying different framing options. And inevitably, at some point, you Aod found that the best composition is somewhere between two focal lengths.

For this reason, most photographers compromise a bit on image quality and settle for the convenience of having a small selection of zooms. Of course, the most practical thing of all is to have a single zoom lens that covers all the bases, which is exactly what Tamron have tried to do with their 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 VC DIII PZD, to give it its full title. She, OSA designed for use with crop (APS-C) sensor DSLR, which means it has a range of equivalent focal length of about 28 to 400mm; enough for most everyday situations.
To maintain image quality with, Äòsuperzoom, AO like this is a challenge, given the complex nature of the optical design. The general rule is, the higher the zoom, the higher the image quality, and the Tamron has a zoom ratio of 15x massive. So the big question is: is it up?
For a lens with such a wide zoom range, the Tamron is proving to be remarkably compact and lightweight. Despite this, it feels pretty solid and performs well, with smooth zoom action and a good size manual focus ring. Manual focus accurately is a bit difficult, however, that only takes you a little tour of the minimum focus distance of 0.49m to infinity. However, the autofocus performance is much more important because that is how most photographers want to use this lens. , Â ® as a landscape photographer, I do, AOT normally use auto focus that often, but for this test, I found that last Tamron AF system, the piezo (PZD) ultrasonic motor, concentrated in confidence accurately and in silence and was only slightly slower than my Canon L-lenses.

Canon PowerShot Elph 500 HS 2011

Posted by admin On May - 29 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

If the idea of ​​a camera used almost-all-touch screen for you, the Canon PowerShot Elph HS 500 ($ 299 as of May 25, 2011) is one of the best point-and-shoot options in this category. But it becomes clear that the cameras touch screen, which are exploited significantly different beast from that of traditional cameras with similar specifications. Because of its touch screen, this device acts more like a camera phone to a more traditional, and that brings its fair share of advantages and disadvantages.

The touch interface is well implemented – Auto mode and scene presets work well. However, the touch interface was also the opening and shutter priority modes (but no full manual control), and setting parameters in these modes are not as car-free as it is at the use analog controls. Moreover, it has seen better touch controls and options for development in competing cameras.

All the fancy touch screen has also come at the expense of battery life the camera is missing. But beyond these shortcomings, this is a great camera just in terms of performance. Image and video quality are both strong suits, and F2.0 lens model and methods of creative shooting make it a standout compact unit. When it comes down to it, it all depends on how much you love touch screens.

Sony Alpha SLT-A55

Posted by admin On February - 27 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

The A55 (with the cheapest A33) is the first camera SLT translucent mirror on the market. This bleeding edge technology brings with it a veritable plethora of benefits, obviously the ability to shoot continuously at 10fps incredible.

It’s worth saying again: it is (count em ‘) ten 16.2MP full-size plans. Each. Second. Factor in the turbo, laser accurate autofocus and you have a heck of a speed demon, ideal for hanging away from moving subjects like football players, birds in flight, etc..

Huh? Noisy? Nah
The picture quality is excellent. Sony Digital SLRs used to get flak for the poor noise control, but the A55 may be pushed to the sensitivity range of ISO and still produce good results. The colors are natural, detail is strong and thus the pictures are just as good as those produced by a digital camera from midrange.

The A55 is not without a trick pony, either. There is his ability to shoot 1080i video format AVCHD fine at 25 or 50 fps with stereo sound, a clever automatic HDR, integrated GPS for geotagging and Sony devilishly clever panning mode, which lets you effortlessly create epic multi-shot panoramic display in seconds. You can even do it in 3D – as long as you have the correct type of TV to watch it again.

SteadyShot image stabilization body is a nice touch, because it means you get anti-shake tech with any goal you bolt onto the A55. It is ideal for optimum clarity without a tripod.

Light or fragile?
The fact that Sony has packed it all in a lightweight and compact makes the A55 even more impressive. Some might call the plasticky build quality – and it is true that there are many things placky – but he is strong enough by the standards of mid-range DSLR.

The screen is also mightily impressive. Sharpness 921.000-dot LCD can be tilted in any direction, it is clear and sufficiently clear to be perfectly usable on the outside on a sunny day.

There is no optical viewfinder, because the A55 is a TLS rather than a digital SLR camera. You can use the electronic viewfinder to give you a view through the lens, and is a perfect condition – but it can not correspond to actually have a proper optical viewfinder.

It’s a shame, but certainly does not have enough shine off this fantastic snapper dropping a star.

Pentax K-r Review

Posted by admin On February - 23 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

Pentax may be a step behind Canon, Nikon and Sony digital SLR market, but the Kr shows there is life in the old dog yet. This new mid-range camera feels like a premium version of the Kx published early last, with the same sensor, but stimulate the build quality and performance.

Take ISO, for example: it hovers over the entire height of 25600 (double that of most digital SLR Midrange) means you can happily shoot at shutter speeds used in all light conditions, but conditions. Your pictures will be noisy at that setting, of course – but at least they will not be a large rectangle of blobby blur.

No major greenhouse
At least ISOs the picture quality is superb, even with just the kit lens 18-55mm attached. The camera seems to turn to blows slightly darker than normal, but all were sharp as a tack with colors of packing more punch than ten David Hayes. In body image stabilization, you get anti-shake technology to any goal you set, too.

The kit lens is a great artist and less plasticky than most, while the autofocus motor is a strong chugga sometimes – not ideal when shooting video, the sound will be picked up by the microphone Kr.

Video jobsworth
720p HD video quality is nothing to write home about, but does the job. Needless to say, Scorsese wannabe serious will opt for something other than an SLR Pentax epics for their home – the Canon 60D and A55 Sony are much better options throughout. There is no HDMI port for watching your clips on a TV, either.

The body is robust and Kr pieces big enough to sit comfortably in your hand. It is very “old-school DSLR” and it’s not a bad thing: all controls are well located and there is no need to bend the fingers or dive into the menus too often change the settings around . The screen is also excellent: he could not tilt or twist but it is bright and sharp knife.

The chunky mode dial on top comes with the usual priority modes (aperture, shutter speed, full manual, etc.), but adds something new to the mix: Sv, or sensitivity priority. In this mode, you set your ISO and the camera works on everything else – a great idea.

Versatile battery
A more interesting – and only – thing: Pentax accepts Kr is its rechargeable battery or four AA standard. This means you can always whack in some batteries to the rigor and keep shooting.

Kr Pentax is not really enough for us to recommend more than the equivalent Sony, Canon and Nikon models, but it is a reliable performer with a big lens kit. If you are already a Pentax DSLR user looking to step up is an excellent choice.
