A few people were more than a little amused that I, the ultimate pixel-peeper, wrote an article demonstrating that all lenses and all cameras vary a bit; that you can’t find the ultimately sharpest lens. Each individual copy of a given lens is a little d
In other words, we know that computerized analysis using Imatest or a similar program can show us a measureable difference exists between several lenses. But what does that mean? Can we tell when a difference is just the inevitable minor variation and when it’s a meaningful problem? The answer is yes. The vast majority of the time, anyway.
You know how the Fujifilm X100 looks suspiciously similar to a certain brand of rangefinder cameras? Well, it just got even more blatant about copying the Leica look, and this 200-strong special edition is almost Samsung-esque in its copyist ambitions. It

Lytro is the first consumer light field camera, a unique type of camera that captures all the light available, instead of just a single pane of light. It allows photos to be focused after they have been shot, even focusing over and over again

The most striking thing about playing with the camera is the furious 14 frames a second super high speed mode. It’s interesting that in a day and age when HD video is now standard on most digital cameras, fast frame rates can still impress and this one does. Sports photographers will love both the 12 and 14fps burst modes but it seems like overkill for studio shooters.
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., October 18, 2011 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is proud to introduce a completely revolutionized EOS-1D series camera
The EOS-1D X employs a completely new imaging sensor, producing the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera to date for stunning portraiture and studio work. The new 18-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor utilizes large pixels – 1.25 microns larger than those in the EOS-1D Mark IV sensor and .55 microns larger than those in the EOS 5D Mark II sensor – together with gapless microlenses to achieve enhanced light gathering efficiency, higher sensitivity and less noise at the pixel level
More importantly for me, it also promises improved advanced video features. Canon claim that the new camera will have significantly improved video image quality especially in low light. They say it should also reduce false colour and moire patterning, which plague the current Canon DSLRs like the 5D mkII. Also added is a choice of two new compression formats – intraframe (ALL-i ) compression for easier editing and interframe (IPB) compression for superior data compression.
Canon has announced a new flagship DSLR, the EOS-1D X. The camera is supposed to take the place of the fast-shooting crop-sensor 1D Mk IV and the multi-megapixel full-frame 1DS Mk III. The main draw is that you’re getting a full-frame 18MP camera that can

If there’s one name in the camera business that is synonymous with endless special edition hardware in ever more exotic materials, its Sigma. Wait. What? Yes, Sigma is pulling a Leica with this special edition SD1, only its doing it without Leica’s typica
There are still a few things film cameras do that digital cameras don’t. One of those is double-exposures, something easy with every film SLR, and all but impossible in digital without digging into Photoshop. Enter the Double Exposure Digicam, a straightf

At its iPhone 4S event on Tuesday, Apple boasted of its new phone’s specs by comparing it to a number of Android competitors. But as much as newly minted CEO Tim Cook raved about the 4S, the question remains: Does the 4S truly stack up to the rest?

This photographic Ikea Hack is notable both for its simplicity and for the stunning results it produces. And it only gets better when you find out that it can be done for less than $5. The hack uses Ikea kitchen timers to make timelapse panning stands. Al
The hack uses Ikea kitchen timers to make timelapse panning stands. All you need to do is drill a hole in the top of the timer, add a bushing and screw a tripod-mount-sized machine screw into the top. Congratulations: You’re done.

Here’s a great way to win friends and popularity. It’s called the Sling Shot, and it’s a camera designed to make subjects cower in fear as you photograph them. No longer will your (soon-to-be-ex) friends and coworkers crowd around a tiny LCD screen to see
Swedish Nikon executive Lasse Pettersson answered this question during a live Q&A interview yesterday about the new Nikon mirrorless cameras (about 22:45 minutes into this clip): Reporter: “The question everybody asks; when will the D4 or D800 be released
