If you are using a digital camera with 14 or even 16MP resolution, you may be feeling pretty smug knowing you have a cam with lots of megapixels. If you are the sort that likes having things with the most and biggest this or that, Hasselblad has unveiled a new medium format camera that is going to give you serious megapixel envy.
The reason that people buy DSLR cameras is so they can take better images and have more control over what those images look like. The DSLR camera allows the user to add lenses to get cool artistic effects and other features. A company called Lensbaby has announced two new optics for its Optic Swap System.
T2i. That’s the alleged model name of the new Rebel DSLR purportedly coming next week from Canon. And included in the bundle may possibly be a better video-shooting selectable FPS implementation, along with a redesigned outer casing and a better LCD display.
I like my DSLR for the most part, but here are some things that I would change about it. For one, I am tired of carrying a giant camera with me to and from events. I would prefer a point-and-shoot with the shutter speed of a DSLR honestly.
Anticipation for Canon’s EOS 7D was high, any way you look at it. Latest in a line of well-esteemed EOS cameras, it’s also one of the first prosumer DSLRs to place almost as much emphasis on recording high-definition video as it does capturing stills. Does an APS-C sensor and unusually high megapixel count mean Canon have reached too far, or has the 7D taken the top-spot for all-round shooters? Check out the SlashGear review after the cut.
Pentax pulled the wraps off its new entry-level K-x DSLR camera back in September and for the money the little cam offered up a nice feature set. Pentax has offered up a new and very colorful version of the Pentax K-x DSLR called the Korejanai K-x that outfitted in bright basic colors of red, blue, yellow, and white.
Weeks are flying by and it’s time for another week in review. Monday we learned that a new hack was available from the iPhone Dev Team that adds MMS to first generation iPhones and tethering to 3.1.2 OS for the later iPhone models. We also found out that Microsoft is set to issue a new update for the Xbox 360 that will break unauthorized storage devices. That means that some gamers will be unable to access the saved game data after applying the new update.
This week Mamiya dropped its entry-level digital cameras for the pro photographer with a starting price in the $10,000 range. That is a lot of cash for a digital camera and makes the high-end cameras from Nikon look cheap by comparison. Mamiya also unveiled four new Mamiya DM digital backs this week as well.
Epson is most known for its line of printers and expensive ink cartridges. The company also makes a full line of scanners and other products as well including the P-6000 and P-7000 photo viewers aimed at professional photographers. Epson announced today that the two photo viewers, which we have talked about before, have gained a slick new feature.
Double-take time again, when a press release drops happily proclaiming “digital camera for under $10k”, but when the manufacturer is Mamiya and the DSLR is the Mamiya DM22 you know you’re onto something special. Hot on the heels of their DM33 and DM56 cameras comes an “entry level” model, packing 22-megapixels, a vast 48 x 36mm sensor and an ISO range of 25 – 400.
