Fujifilm’s new X-T2 mirrorless camera may look similar to its predecessor, but it’s had a major internal overhaul to improve AF speed, video recording and overall performance. The X-T2 uses a 24-megapixel APS-C-sized X-Trans CMOS III image sensor with

At a press event in New York Wednesday, Hasselblad showed off their strangely attractive new X1D medium format mirrorless camera, and we got to play with it. It shoots video but only 1080p25. The $9k X1D is a 50 megapixel camera designed and built in Swed
It’s a very attractive camera for those of us who used to shoot Leicas or for those who shoot small mirrorless cameras but want that large format look. But ouch that price – even though it’s miles cheaper than the Hasselblad H6D with the same 50mp sensor (and many miles cheaper than the 100mp version,) it’s still a lot of money for this niche camera.
With the X1D, Hasselblad is attempting to redefine the medium format category. We sat down briefly with U.S. President Michael Hejtmanek for his take on the camera and its place in the Hasselblad universe. What follows is a condensed version of the talk t
The goal wasn’t to build a camera that users would use in lieu of the H6D or other medium format backs but one that would tempt mirrorless shooters to step up to medium format, he says. “This gives them a way to buy a medium format camera that looks and feels like a compact camera.”
The X1D sports a 50-megapixel medium format CMOS image sensor (43.8mm x 32.9 ) with 14 stops of dynamic range, 14-bit color and an ISO range of 100-12,800 (expandable to 25,600). It’s housed in a compact, lightweight body that promises to handle more like an advanced compact camera than a bulky medium format body.
Previous rumors stated the camera would have a built-in viewfinder, and that’s confirmed in these leaked photos. Other rumored specs were a 50-megapixel sensor (which makes sense now) and the fact that the camera was to be mirrorless (also confirmed now).
Back in February, Canon announced an update to their pro level camera systems with the 1DX Mark II. With a brand new focusing system, and 4K video features, the Canon 1DX Mark II left a lot of fanboys drooling, despite the costly price of $6,000. Alongsid
When we re-started Meyer Optik we looked at the different lenses. The challenge was to use modern materials, but maintain the historic charm of the lens. The most obvious case is the “soap bubble bokeh,” which made the Trioplan lenses famous. So we figured that by meeting this challenge we would prove to be the truthful successor of the former Meyer Optik’s works

Lytro is taking its rich, volumetric 3D camera capture technology into the world of TV and film. The company’s light field solution is a truly beautiful technology that may eventually be in every camera we snap a shot or video with. The tech essentially u
The Lytro Cinema camera gathers a truly staggering amount of information on the world around it. The 755 RAW megapixel 40K resolution, 300 FPS camera takes in as much as 400 gigabytes per second of data.
I have been an early adopter of technology for most of my life. As a Star Wars/Star Trek kid, I’ve held the dogma that technology will be society’s savior. But I’m having second thoughts. And when it comes to VR, I have a few specific issues with its promise of immersive entertainment:
If the past several years of camera introductions have proven anything, it’s that there’s a hunger for dials, knobs and large image sensors among the camera buying public. Not one to miss the boat, Nikon is delivering all of the above in its new DL series
The DL18-50 has an 18-50mm equivalent lens with an aperture of f/1.8-2.8 throughout the zoom range. It uses Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat to help reduce ghosting and flare and accepts 46mm filters.

The Guangzhou, China-based company Techart has officially unveiled the Techart PRO AF adapter, world’s first autofocus adapter for manual focus lenses. The adapter, which was teased last month, actually lets you autofocus with lenses that don’t have that ability.
A new 4D Focus system can lock onto a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds, which sets a new record among interchangeable lens cameras with APS-C sensors, Sony says
First, with 14 frames a second and C-Fast 2.0 cards, this thing is a monster in terms of still camera capabilities. As you’ll see on this sequence of surfer Tom Dosland wiping out and falling from the lip of a 40-foot-wave at JAWS in Maui, this camera produces quite a sequence of frames on peak action.
One of the interesting new features in the 1D X is built-in image optimization. Canon’s new Digital Lens Optimizer technology stores information about the optical flaws of lenses and then digitally fixes those things on the fly with virtually zero decrease in camera speed. For the first time in a Canon EOS DSLR, the camera can automatically correct for peripheral brightness, chromatic aberration, distortion (barrel and pincushion), and diffraction (blurring at small apertures) — things that were previously corrected in post-production.
Immense power. Phenomenal speed. A remarkable combination of innovation and refinement. The new EOS-1D X Mark II camera is nothing but legendary every step o
Up to 14 fps*(up to 16 fps* in Live View mode) can be captured at a burst rate of up to 170 RAWs with a CFast™ card, and an improved 61-point AF system helps deliver clean, sharp images quickly, even in dim light

Olympus debuted its first PEN-F in 1963. Quite a few things have changed in the intervening years but evidently our affection for knobs and dials is not one of them–at least if the 2016 edition of the PEN-F is anything to go by. Aimed at street shooters a
