Zoom Experience 2007 2007-12-02 02:20:00 Zoom Experience 2007 : Finally on the 24th and 25th of November the Zoom Experience 2007 kicked off in Utrecht in the 'Jaarbeurs', situated in the centre of the Netherlands and thus easily accessible. The preparation of an event like this is not as easy as one sometimes thinks it is. There are many parties involved and all have to reach consensus about how an event like the Zoom Experience should be organized in order to make is successful.

Sensors - does size and type matter? 2007-11-30 08:28:00 Photography has advanced considerably from its conception into the digital age. Along with such advancements come additional complications - different sensor types, a variety of sensor sizes, formats and files! So what does it all mean, and why does it even matter?A bit of backgroundEarly optical or photographic devices (such as the camera obscura) were little more than a simple opening - sometimes with an equally simple lens - that would allow light to pass through, the goal being to generate an image circle broad enough to cover the area required.Notice 'image circle' - given the physical properties of light, when it passes through an aperture (i.e. opening) it will reform the image as a circular image element; we simply crop this down to a rectangular image for convenience, partly because the image circle will not be sharp or bright to the very edges, nor are circular formats consistantly useful:Mike Lowemore : thinkcamera ...

Five Reasons Film Cameras Are Still Better Than Digital 2007-11-30 08:26:00 Digicams are the success story of the decade. The world is taking more pictures than ever, thanks to convenience and low cost (never buy film again!). Photo sharing site Flickr has passed the two billion picture mark, every cellphone carries a camera and in my tourist-honeypot hometown, vacationers tote DSLRs. But while film is almost dead, there are still some things that the old school does better.Shutter LagFor landscape photography, this doesn’t matter, but for anything that requires (literal) split second timing, even a tiny delay means the difference between a perfect smile and a grimace, a touchdown and a heap of sweaty men. Digital cameras have delay built in at every step: Out of the box you have focus assist lamps, redeye-reducing bursts of flash, slow startup times and shutter lag.DSLRs do better, but compacts – even Canon’s top-end G9 – has woolly feeling gap between pressing the shutter and taking a picture. Result? Frustration and missed pictures. There’s a reas ... Film
