Casio Exilim EX-FH100 Review

Cuzzy — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:56:21 +0000

Casio’s new Exilim EX-FH100 features some groundbreaking features that will allow you to capture images and videos in ways that other digicams cannot. The FH100 features a 10-Megapixel back illuminated CMOS imaging sensor, 10x wide optical zoom lens, dedicated video record button, 720p HD movies, video frame rates of up to 1000fps, image capture of up to 40fps for 40 images at 9-megapixels, RAW capture and Sensor-Shift image stabilization, which just covers some of the major features. There are also a slew of Best Shot modes, including several that were specifically designed for high speed shooting.

Featuring 720p HD movie capture and frame rates ranging from 30fps to 1000fps, this is by far one of the most versatile Hybrid cameras that you are going to find on the market. Although the high-speed frame rates are not an option when shooting in HD, they are a fantastic tool for slowing down fast-moving objects. 1000fps can be very useful for capturing extremely fast moving objects or even for analysis of movement such as a golf swing. With a little creativity, these smaller resolution videos can even be worked into a High Definition movie.

Canon EOS 1D Mark III

Cuzzy — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:31:08 +0000

Great photographers are sure of what they need in a camera. Most Importantly, the camera has to be reliable — capable of coming through in shooting positions that are not perfect… especially in trying environmental and difficult circumstances. It’s vital that the camera be responsive — responding quickly to the photographer’s commands… have the ability to photograph, within a blink of an eye, the perfect shot. It has to offer advanced features which make it proficient and flexible and, still, won’t limit operability. And, naturally, it has to give unquestionable picture quality — which, in this day and age, signifies not just nearly noise-free photos, fullness of color, and deep tones, but also adequate information concentration to fulfil the greatest range of output programs. Nowadays, there’s a digital single-lens-reflex camera that fits these standards like no other: and that’s the Canon EOS-1D Mark III. Designed and engineered from the floor up, Canon’s most fledgling flagship EOS is sure to be the next “got to have” DSLR for professional photographers.

EOS 1D Mark III Highlights

Brand new 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor
Excellence in digital photography begins with the imaging sensor. Canon’s state-of-the-art innovative in-house detector design and manufacturing capabilities are a leading cause for why EOS Digital SLR cameras systematically return innovative imaging execution.

The EOS-1D Mark III sports a freshly produced 10.1 megapixel Canon CMOS sensor. It meets the vital purposes of an imaging sensor — responsive, true, very low noise capture of photo information — with unexampled competency. Its APS-H size sensor issues a 1.3 lens transition factor, a format that EOS-1D series photographers know. Furthermore, it comprises Canon’s current CMOS technology improvements that importantly cut digital noise — particularly in dark areas — and extend the functional ISO range.

Exceedingly wide ISO range
Mixing the brilliant image capture possibilities of the new sensing element with innovative Dual DIGIC III Image Processors, the EOS-1D Mark III provides the greatest ISO range of any digital SLR on the market. The common range of 100 – 3200 can be increased to a exceptional 50 – 6400. More significantly, the low-noise operation at high ISO settings gives the full range usable in real-world shooting positions.

14-bit A/D convertors
Whereas previous EOS digital cameras applied 12-bit A/D convertors, the EOS-1D Mark III uses innovative 14-bit convertors to serve the output of the imaging sensor. This creates faster toned conversions and more brilliant graduations. RAW images are registered at 14 bits so that the wide range of tones taken by the sensor are open in 16-bit TIFF images.

Dual DIGIC III Image Processors
The EOS-1D Mark III uses Canon’s stylish DIGIC III Image Processor, which preserves the exceedingly high image quality standard of its precursor but, surprisingly, makes even sharper processing speed. Furthermore, the 1D Mark III uses not one, but Dual DIGIC III Image Processors operating in parallel to supply still larger data managing capability. The ensuing imaging engine deals a wide number of information from the 10.1-megapixel sensor with exceptional speed. Card write speeds are quicker, noise control is importantly improve, and camera reactivity has been yet further improved.

Olympus E-3

Cuzzy — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:10:53 +0000

The new Olympus E-3 is the flagship of its Digital SLR line and offers the high-precision performance demanded by professional and enthusiastic photographers. It combines speed and weatherproof durability for taking extraordinary photographs in almost any condition. Olympus pioneered Full Time Live View and Dust Reduction technologies for digital SLR cameras, leading where others have followed. Now, the new E-3 heightens those technical creations and elevates the performance bar with the fastest autofocus in the world. Body-Integrated Mechanical Image Stabilization to stabilize every lens, a 10-megapixel Live MOS image sensor to capture beautiful images, and a magnesium alloy body for dust-proof and splash-proof durability join the impressive innovations developed for the E-3.

The E-3 delivers sharp shots in low light or with a telephoto lens, even without a tripod. A sophisticated image stabilization system compensates for camera shake by shifting the image sensor an equivalent of 5 shutter speed steps — all possible thanks to a gyro sensor that detects even the slightest hand tremble. An in-body image stabilization system gives you the freedom to use any Four Thirds lens. They are significantly smaller and lighter than other lenses because they don’t need an image stabilization component in the optics.

10-megapixel Live MOS image sensor captures enough detail for photo-quality 18 x 24-inch prints
2.5-inch Live View LCD display; magnify directly on the LCD by 5, 7, or 10x
Mechanical Image Stabilization with Supersonic Wave Drive
Exclusive dust-free technology for spot-free photos
Capture images to CompactFlash Type I/II, Microdrive, xD-Picture Card (Dual-Slot)
