I'm a professional musician that lives not too far away from London's Primrose Hill.
When I'm not playing bass I'm generally keeping up-to-date with new, shiny bits of tech.
JD Power and Associates have just released the results of its latest camera survey.
Compiled from the feedback of over 8,000 digital camera buyers between April of 2007 and March of 2008.
They split the categories into DSLRs, Point and Shoots, Premium Point and Shoots, and Ultra Slims.
The DSLR catagory sees a two-wy tie between:
-Canon EOS Digital [...]
We’re used to seeing 15x attached to point n shooters but for DSLRs it seems to be a different story.
Not for long though people!
Tamron’s new ultra zoom lens will set the record straight.
Apparently the first lens of its kind, the AF18-270MM Di II VC covers the 35mm equivalent range of 28mm to 419mm, and does [...]
We’ve all got sets of photo’s that we’ve put together haphazardly in order to get a decent panoramic shot.
It doesn’t work that well if we’re honest does it? Overlaps, slightly different focuses, etc.
Seitz Roundshot VR Drive Panoramic Set should put all of that out of your mind.
It’s a fully automatic panorama motor for your digital [...]
Hasselblad have been quite quiet for a while. The last big moment that springs to mind is when they cut the H2.
But it looks like they feel like reminding us of their pretty impressive name.
To this end they have stepped up with the 50 megapixel H3DII-50.
Using the knowledge gained from the H3II-39 the 50 [...]
The eagle-eyed readers at DSLR User have spotted a possible slip of the keys as Olympus may have outed the E-520 by accident!
“So that you don’t need to carry a heavy tripod or invest extra money into every single stabilised lens, Olympus integrated a built-in image stabiliser into the camera body of the E-3, E-510 [...]
I spotted whispers on Northlight-Images site that Canon’s EOS 5D DSLR is about to get an update.
There are also specs posted on DP Review forums for a second generation 5D with the following changes:
A gain to 15.3MP up from 12.8MP, a 2 stop hike in light sensitivity to 25600 ISO.
The new snapper will also supposedly [...]
The 10 mp touting E-3 is a friendly little critter.
Most of the shooting options rely on the front and rear dials to control. These control aperture and shutter speed – until you press a modifier button and then they control other shooting options. These are pretty easy to get to grips with without doing the [...]
Now, what usually happens when you want to take a bunch of snaps in quick succession is you have to drop from RAW to JPEG.
JPEGs lose quite a bit of info and tends to be a bit like an audiophile listening to a Costco stereo!
Microsoft’s JPEG XR (it used to be called HD Photo) [...]
There is a shop that has a lens that makes the Sigma one that featured on this very site look positively weedy!
It is a Canon 1200mm, F5.6 USM lens. They’ve been around since 1993, but are made to order at the rate of about 2 a year – There is less than 20 out in [...]
Those of you that have been into this kinda thing for more than a year will probably recognise this thing.
It was shown off at last year’s PMA and it’s here again.
It’s designed to attach to your camera’s flash hot shoe and record the GPS information as you shoot. It will then shove all [...]
