Kodak Focuses on the Consumer 2007-10-12 14:14:00 At a press event held this week in Barcelona, Spain, Kodak outlined its future plans, admitting that it had no current intentions to enter the digital SLR market. Instead the company will focus its efforts on the general consumer and attempt to strengthen its position as the 3rd biggest manufacturer worldwide for digital still cameras. The new CMOS sensor that was launched back in July on the entry-level C513 camera was heralded as a “huge breakthrough” for Kodak by John O’Grady, the MD of Europe, strongly hinting that future models will employ the same technology.Kodak also backed-up its claims of 50% cheaper inkjet printing with a new independent report from QualityLogic that verifies the cost savings. The report concluded that prints made on Kodak’s 5500 and 5300 all-in-one printers were up to 3 times less expensive than the industry average, across three different categories of printing. For black prints, Kodak’s prints costs 0.23 Euros per page, against 0.6 Euros average ...

Digital S.L.R.’s That Let You Shoot Like a Pro 2007-10-12 13:46:00 To an ordinary person, the summer might mean barbecues, baseball games and trips to the beach. To a photography nut, however, it means longer days of sunlight, brighter subject colors (beach balls, bathing suits) and more people who don’t have to be told to “Smile!”Nothing has turned more ordinary people into shutterbugs than recent price drops in digital S.L.R. (single-lens reflex) cameras. These big, black, interchangeable-lens cameras may not fit in your pocket, and they may scream, “I’m a tourist” when hanging from your neck, but their photos blow those little shirt-pocket cams out of the water. Digital S.L.R.’s turn on instantly, can take three shots per second, offer optional manual controls, go for weeks on a battery charge and have zero shutter lag. In short, they’re awesome.In the last few months, Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus and Sony have each started selling new advanced S.L.R.’s in the $700 to $800 range.There are even cheaper S.L.R.’s, but these models ...

DxO Labs announces Dxo Optics Pro v5 2007-10-12 13:27:00 DxO Labs has announced DxO Optics Pro v5, the latest version of its software for automatic image quality enhancement for Digital SLR camera users.Due to be released later this year, DxO Optics Pro v5 includes a new RAW conversion engine. All purchasers of DxO Optics Pro v4.5 on or after August 1st, 2007 are eligible for a free upgrade to DxO Optics Pro v5.DxO Optics Pro v5’s RAW conversion engine includes a completely new demosaicing algorithm which produces images with much more detail and fewer artifacts.Demosaicing is the crucial step of RAW conversion during which the camera’s image sensor pattern is reconstructed as a visible image for the human eye. Inherently, demosaicing involves trade-offs between image sharpness, details, noise, processing time and conversion artifacts.The quality of demosaicing determines the amount of detail and artifacts in the final image. These artifacts, particularly visible and unsightly, are compounded at high ISO settings and are in large part re ...

Hands on: Panasonic DMC-L10 DSLR 2007-10-12 13:21:00 A couple of weeks back, we caught a brief glimpse of the new Panasonic DMC-L10 digital SLR camera when it was first announced at IFA 2007 in Berlin.Today, at a journalist briefing at the Tower of London, we got a chance to get up close and personal with Panasonic's new flagship DSLR.270-degree LCDThe biggest addition to the new Panasonic DMC-L10 digital SLR camera is the 270-degree, full live view LCD screen. It flips open from the camera body at a 180-degree angle, and rotates around its axis to a free 270-degree angle - useful for shooting in awkward positions.AdvertisementAnother benefit is that your face will no longer be obstructed by the camera body - as with a traditional optical view finder - which can help when communicating with your subject.The Panasonic DMC-L10 follows on from the Panasonic DMC-L1 (which will remain in the DLSR family) and retains the Four Thirds interchangeable Leica lens mount system of its predecessor. It's easy to operate, although some buttons (such ... Panasonic

Sony Alpha a700 2007-10-12 08:02:00 Hands-on with Sony's second-gen digital SLRThe Alpha a700 is the second digital SLR (single reflex lens) camera Sony has come out with and builds on the interest generated by last year’s Alpha a100. We had a chance to try it out earlier this week.As with its predecessor, the Alpha a700 is a stylish-looking camera that offers a faster shutter speed than its predecessor and is likely to appeal to the semi-professionals and photo enthusiasts Sony is targeting with this model.Using the Alpha a700 we found shooting with it was a straightforward affair and we were taken by its magnesium-alloy body which felt sturdy and rugged. The buttons and media card slots are also protected by weather-resistant silicon seals and the optional VG-C70AM vertical grip makes shooting with the a700 even more comfortable.Sony has been successful in demonstrating that making the move to digital SLR cameras doesn’t have to be as complicated as many beginner photographers fear. For example, Sony has added a q ... Sony

Nikon to expand full-frame SLR line 2007-10-12 07:57:00 SAN FRANCISCO--It looks like Nikon, having followed Canon into the market for high-end SLRs with full-frame image sensors, will continue the effort by offering lower-end models as well.Nikon's $5,000 D3 camera, announced in August and due to go on sale in November, employs a sensor the size of a full frame of 35mm film. These FX-sized sensors offer higher sensitivity and a broader field of view than the smaller DX sensors Nikon has used in its SLRs until now. Nikon will develop new DX-based cameras, but the company will flesh out its FX line as well, said Steve Heiner, senior technical manager of Nikon SLR marketing."I think you'll see other FX products. It's a sensor size we're committed to," Heiner said at a meeting here with reporters. Heiner wouldn't offer details about timing or models, but extrapolating from his remarks, it looks like Nikon will offer a lower-end full-frame model. Full-frame technology will spread to lower-end cameras, Heiner said. "We have seen so many tech ...

We're aiming for at least 10 per cent of the market."During the launch, held at My Humble House restaurant at The Esplanade Mall, guests were invited to try out the new cameras by taking pictures of three chefs who were preparing several dishes right before their eyes, including one who carved a watermelon (picture). To date, the company's debut product — the 100 launched a year ago — has sold ov ... Sony

High-end digital cameras offer many benefits 2007-10-12 07:11:00 These days, digital SLRs start just below $500. But demanding photographers will want more capable cameras. High-end DSLRs will fill these photographers' needs — for a price.DSLRs offer great control over camera settings. They can be expanded with additional lenses. Even entry-level DSLRs offer plenty of megapixels. Large reproductions can be made of photos. This is enough for beginning photographers.Enthusiasts and professionals have more stringent requirements. For example, high-end cameras can shoot more frames per second. They also have faster shutter speeds for freezing movement. You won't miss an action shot. A wider ISO range offers greater control over light sensitivity.High-end cameras are also more durable. They have metal bodies and better seals to protect against dust and moisture. The shutter will have a longer life cycle. Differences don't stop there. High-end DSLRs have a greater bit-depth, up to 14 bits. Low-end SLRs are limited to 12 bits. A greater bit depth mean ...

Looking at Lens Features 2007-10-10 08:39:00 When choosing a digital camera, the first thing you should concentrate on is the lens furnished with the camera. Understanding the basics of lens features will help you make the best choice for your needs. Some of the more expensive digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras allow you to use interchangeable (attachment) lenses that you can use in different situations.Evaluating lens featuresExamine the following basic features of digital camera lenses:Focal length: The focal length of a lens is the distance between the optical center of the lens and the place where it focuses its image, and is expressed in millimeters. This determines the area of coverage from narrow to wide (see Figures 1 and 2). Digital cameras generally rate their focal lengths as equivalent to 35mm film camera lenses.- 20mm or less = Extreme Wide Angle- 24mm to 35mm = Wide Angle- 50mm to 80mm = Normal- 100mm to 300mm = Telephoto- 400mm and above = Super Telephoto Macro mode or lens: This enables close-up photos of s ...
