      Found an interesting review on the high iso levels of the most recent releases by Canon as compared to their previous models, its an interesting article if you're the anal retentive type when it comes to your picture quality at high ISO settings. Probably not meant for the average photog out there but still an interesting read anyway, and a good guide if you're looking into getting one of the models they've reviewed. The other article is on a rumour about the next Nikon model to be released and interesting enough this time it might actually feature a full HD video capturing. So if any of these things interest you hit the link below...

  • Nikon's Media Preview of the A Nikon's Media Preview of the Autumn '09 Product Line-up

    • From: naqhi
    • Description:


      Today bright and early I found myself at a club. I am not kidding at 10a.m. on a Friday morning I was standing in front of the Ministry of Sounds, The Deq, Euphoria. Why was I there? Well Nikon was a having a media preview of their latest cameras. Six cameras to be exact, two dSLRs and four brand new compacts. The dSLRs were the D300s an upgrade to the popular D300 and a brand new intro level dSLR that’s even easier to use than the D5000. The compacts they were introducing were the Coolpix S1000pj, S70, S640 and S570.

      The event started of with a speech by Mr. Stephen Ng, one of the top dogs at Nikon Malaysia. Followed by a little interactive video element that played advertisements for the various models. After which some girls dressed very provocatively in white and platinum wigs came out to show off the S1000pj, which was why the event was being held at a club.

      That pretty much ended the planned program for the day and after which the press was allowed to have interviews and ask questions from the Nikon management present.

      Myself I got right down to matters at hand and had a look at the three cameras that interest me, namely the D300s, the D3000, the S1000pj and the S70.


      Let’s take it a model at a time, first up the D300s I am not familiar with the original so looking at the button layout confused me somewhat. But I do know what it’s capable of, the D300 is a popular model for Nikon and the upgrade or replacement includes the HD video feature that’s present in all of Nikon’s latest dSLR. And I’ve seen what the camera can do in the hands of an open minded professional. At the Nikon USA site if you browse around for the D300s you’ll eventually come across a video done by Amy Vitale, she is a very respected photographer and was given one of the first working D300s. With that first working model she was able to shoot an amazing video of her recent visit to India. If you want to see what your dSLRs video mode is capable head on over and watch it, I strongly recommend it. But I wasn’t really able to play with the D300s at the event primarily because one I wasn’t familiar with and two, there was no storage media in them, so I couldn’t really take pictures to see much.

       

       

      Next up the D3000, this is an interesting camera. It seems targeted to those looking to buy a compact but want some features of a dSLR. It’s got a very small body comparable to the D5000 but unlike the D5000 it does not have the flip out LCD screen nor does it have a video mode which is available in all of Nikon’s latest offerings. It does have a new menu feature called Guide which is supposed to make shooting pictures with dSLRs a lot easier to understand as it tells you what does what. Again there was no storage media in it so you couldn’t really play with to get a feel for it. Personally if I had to choose between the D3000 and the D5000 I’d go with the D5000. You get the flip out screen, the video mode and if you experiment enough you’ll figure out what does what anyway.

       

       

       

      For the compacts you have the S1000pj and the S70. The S1000pj was the reason that the event was held at a club as I mentioned because of an interesting feature that it has, its got a projector. So it’s targeted at a younger, fun loving, want-to-share-the-moment sort of crowd. You can take a picture or a video and immediately you can project it on a wall or any other surface to about 5 feet. It was pretty neat. And it comes with a remote to so you can sort of have a fun presentation wherever you are. The S70 on the other hand intrigued me because of its new screen and menu/navigation feature. It’s got an OLED screen so that’s very nice. They’re going to become more common soon I know that most of the latest cell phones from the Korean manufacturers will soon sport them. And the entire back is made up of it, which means that it’s a touch screen. The touch screen is very responsive and fluid compared to Nikon’s previous model, and they’ve also included gestures. Gestures was first introduced if I’m not mistaken by Apple on their Airbook laptops, that’s where you can navigate and manipulate elements on you desktop by doing gestures on the mouse pad. Same thing with the S70 menus system. Doing certain gestures will help you navigate through the menu or even manipulate your pictures. For example, if you want to zoom in to a picture you take your fingers pinch them together on the screen and then open them, to zoom out you do the opposite place them a part and then bring them together.

      All in all an interesting line up, I’m curious to see how the market responds to some of these models. One things for sure though if Nikon keeps up this habit of putting things you don’t expect of a camera it’ll keep everyone on their toes.

       

      Just for fun here’s the official press release that Nikon gave us.

      PRESS RELEASE --For Immediate Release

       

      Nikon Shows-Off the World’s First Projector Camera

       

      11 September, Kuala Lumpur. Nikon (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd launches the first compact camera with built-in projector capability in the world at The Deq, Euphoria Sunway today.

       

      The Coolpix S1000pj is the world’s first digital camera that has a built-in LCD projector, upping the ante on the feature warfare of this highly competitive industry. With a simple touch of a button, the camera projects photos or movie clips on any flat surface up to 40 inches in size. Nikon has created a new experience in sharing photos with family and friends in most any location.

       

      In this season, Nikon also rolled out the Coolpix S70, its first digital compact camera to feature Nikon’s innovative Clear Color OLED display with intuitive touch control. Immediately noticeable in the OLED display is its brightness, vivid color reproduction, and sharper contrast. At 3.5”, it is highly responsive and recognizes multiple fingertip commands, giving freshness to the meaning of “camera control at your fingertip.”

       

      “The Coolpix S1000pj and Coolpix S70 mark another milestone in Nikon’s long history as a camera brand that is synonymous with innovative and quality products,” says Mr. Stephen Ng, General Manager.

       

      “It used to be a megapixel war zone however consumers today are aware that megapixels are not the only key to enhanced photography experience. One of the joys of picture taking is sharing our photos with our friends which traditionally we would print them out or showing them via the camera’s LCD. The projector function of the Coolpix S1000pj makes photo sharing more convenient and exciting with your friends, as they just sit back and view the photos in an instant,” added Mr. Ng.

       

      For those consumers who would like to shoot action or moving objects, the new Coolpix S640 is designed with an ultra-fast auto-focus drive which is close to that of a DSLR, enabling it to capture fast moving objects much easier than before. Nikon also launched highly affordable Coolpix S570 which comes with various colour choices, to meet consumers’ expectation of a trendy outlook.

       

      The Coolpix S1000pj, S70, S640 and S570 all come with 28mm wide angle lens, 12 megapixel image sensor and 5x optical zoom. There are also a bundle of built-in image enhancing functions such as the Nikon Smart Portrait System, Scene Auto Selector, and Quick Retouch to make photo taking simple, yet satisfying.

       

      Also in Nikon’s new line-up are the D300S and the D3000 DSLR cameras that are upgraded versions of the D300 and D60 respectively. The D300S not only has a 7 frame-per-second shutter rate, but also comes with auto-focus HD movie shooting capability. It also features an SD and CF memory card slots allowing users to select the recording medium of their choice.

       

      The D3000 on the other hand, is a highly affordable DSLR for new enthusiasts. Comes with easy to use Guide Mode, the D3000 is affordably priced at RM 2,288 which comes with an AFS 18-55mm VR kit lens. It is expected to draw more upgrades from the compact level. “Consumers today are more aware about photography than never before. Thanks to DSLR becoming more affordable and easy to use, consumers will slowly move towards cameras with better pictures quality, and Nikon DSLR cameras will definitely give them that satisfaction,” said Mr. David Ng, Marketing Manager.

  • Magic Lantern Firmware Unlocks Magic Lantern Firmware Unlocks the Canon 5D Mark II's A/V Potential

    • From: naqhi
    • Description:

      Here's something interesting, if you have a Mark II that is. It seems that someone has taken the initiative to "help" Canon improve the HD video feature in the Mark II. Even though the Mark II has just had its firmware updated, and the update was truly appreciated by those that use the video feature, there was still more that could be done, hence the Magic Lantern firmware which improves audio recording by adding onscreen level meters, disabling automatic gain control, and adding manual gain control. On the video, end the firmware enables zebra stripes (they mark the portions of your image that are overexposed) and the various crop marks for 16:9, 2.35:1 and 4:3—the most common aspect ratios that you'll want to shoot. It's apparently still in beta stage so i wouldn't advise you to do it unless you're the adventurous type.

      Here's a few links if you have a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and feel like fooling around with it!

      Finally tracked down the first review of Panasonic's newest the Lumix DMC-GH1. This as you probably know is Panasonic's latest DSLR that features a HD video mode much like Canon's EOS 500D or Nikon's D5000 and is actually priced quite similarly to those two. In fact the review makes a few comparisons to the other two models. So if you're interested in finding out if the Lumix stacks up to the 500D or the D5000 hit the link after the break for the review.

    • From: naqhi
    • Description:

      Pocket-Lint has been playing with the EOS 500D or the Rebel T1i and a have come up with a full review on it. As most of you probably know (or if you don't) the EOS 500D is the latest camera from Canon to offer the FullHD video feature, its also Canon's newest camera for the beginner DSLR user out there. So it's a combination of easy to use features and form factor with the bonus FullHD video feature. This places it perfectly as Nikon's latest offering the D5000 with the difference being the articulated LCD screen and that the D5000's video feature is only HD i.e. only 720p as opposed to the 500D's 1080p. Is it better than the Nikon? Well i'll let you decide that. So hit the link after the break for the full review and sample pics!

    • Description:

      Tune-In-Tokyo.com has obtained more details of Panasonic's newest DSLR the Lumix DMC-GH1, and it's looking to be quite worthwhile on paper. The one that caught my eye is the availability of autofocus while shooting video which none of the other brands have at the moment. As for the actual output of the camera? Well that's still a little ways of i think but don't you worry as soon as a review is out i'll point you right to it. Read the article after the break.

       

      lumix dmc-gh1

      Panasonic has officially announced the pricing for the Lumix DMC-GH1 interchangeable lens camera. As expected, the price for the camera plus the new F4.0-5.8, 14 - 140 mm lens will be $1500. As you probably know, the GH1 is capable of recording Full HD video using the AVCHD codec, and the new lens allows for continuous autofocus while you're recording.

      The Panasonic DMC-GH1 Digital Camera merges the very best of digital SLR technologies with advanced, next-generation HD Video recording. Utilizing the Micro Four Thirds System, the camera design offers a 50% shorter flange spacing (mount-to-sensor distance), and a 6mm reduction in the size of the outer lens mount. This innovative, mirror-less design dramatically reduces the size and weight of the camera body and allows for the development of more compact optics.

      The camera includes a LUMIX G VARIO HD 14-140mm lens with optical image stabilization. This amazing focal range coupled with silent focus and electronic aperture adjustments are perfectly suited for all photo and video applications. The camera's 12.1 Megapixel Live MOS sensor and dual Venus Engine HD image processors render images with exceptional clarity and minimal noise--even when captured at high ISO. Panasonic's exclusive iA (Intelligent Auto) mode features powerful Face Recognition that "remembers" faces registered in the camera giving priority focus and exposure to capture to your favorite subjects. Now it's easier than ever to make friends and family members stand out in a crowd!

      High Definition Video is available on many of the latest DSLRs, but the GH1 is distinguished as the first to allow full-time, manual adjustment of shutter speeds and aperture values. With manual exposure control, you can bring your HD vision to life without compromise! In addition to control of depth-of field and exposure times, the GH1 even records audio in rich Dolby Digital Stereo sound!

      Intelligent Exposure (iA) Mode
      Panasonic's newly developed Intelligent Exposure (iA) Mode simplifies face detection autofocus, AF tracking for moving subjects, optical image stabilization, scene mode selection, and ISO to make great pictures as simple as point-and-shoot. Concentrate on the subject in front of you--let the camera do the rest. The GH1 lets you enjoy making great photographs with ease!

      Super Zoom 14-140mm Lens
      Coupled with the GH1, the newly-developed 14-140mm (10x) zoom lens provides excellent wide angle to telephoto coverage. From landscapes to dramatic close-ups, this optic ensures first-class image quality in an amazing 35mm focal equivalent of 28-280mm! The integrated optical image stabilizer keeps your photos sharp and shake-free while the silent autofocus motor keeps pace with the most demanding photo and video applications.

      HD Video Recording with Creative Control
      Many new DSLR cameras can capture HD video, but the GH1 is the first to allow manual operation of both shutter speeds and aperture values. Creative Movie mode gives users the ability to take full control of the moving image with artistic license over depth of field and shutter speed effects. From documentary to independent production, the GH1 can make your HD vision a reality!

      Advanced Venus Engine HD Processing
      Dual CPUs allow for advanced multi-task image-processing with industry-leading response times and extremely short shutter lag. Lighting fast processing, near-instant autofocus, and high ISO sensitivity for both stills and video make the Venus Engine the indispensible processing unit of the GH1.

      Compact and Lightweight
      Featuring a compact design and weighing just a little over a pound, the body of the GH1 is easy to carry and simple to use. The rounded grip makes for a steady, secure hold for purposeful, considered compositions.

  • Philip Bloom: DOP, Director & Philip Bloom: DOP, Director & Editor of films on DSLR's with HD Video

    • From: naqhi
    • Description:

      Came across this blog recently and it had an interesting article. Philip Bloom has been in the business of film making for the past 20 years apparently and is something of an early adopter when it comes to his equipment. And apparently he was thrilled when he heard that DSLR's were beginning to have HD video features included in them, why? Because of the sensor size. So if you've always wondered what film and video professionals thought of HD video on DSLRs then i'd say this is a pretty good read, especially since he talks about the Nikon D90, the Canon 5D Mark II and recently released Panasonic Lumix GH1 , which it seems is his favorite at the moment. So if you're curious about it. Hit the link after the break.

      It looks like Panasonic has joined the DSLR with a HD movie crowd with their newest Lumix GH-1. Reading the first look review on Pocket-Lint it seems to be quite promising.

And also the other thing that caught my eye was that it comes in red! So that's sort of different.... So if you're interested hit the link below and read on, remember though, it is a first look review.....

  • More Pentax K-7 details, pictu More Pentax K-7 details, pictures leak out ahead of launch

    • From: naqhi
    • Description:

      Seems like Pentax is jumping on the bandwagon with Nikon and Canon, rumor has it that the newest model will sport a hd video feature too. So if you're interested read on...

       


      If the earlier reports are accurate, Pentax's latest K series DSLR should be getting official real soon now, but there's still a few days left before that rumored May 21st launch date, and that means more leaks. One of those comes in the form of a seemingly authentic ad (pictured after the break) that all but confirms that the K-7 (or K7D) will be a 14.6-megapixel DSLR, and will boast a new Prime II imaging engine, along with the increasingly standard HD video recording that we had heard about earlier. As if that wasn't enough, a whole slew of images of the camera have just surfaced on RiceHigh's Pentax Blog, along with a complete (but not exactly verifiable) spec list, which offers such details as a 3-inch VGA LCD, continuous JPEG shooting at 5.2 frames per second, a viewfinder with 100% image coverage, a new 77-Segment Multi-Pattern metering system, a built-in AF assist light, and an integrated HDR mode, among countless other features. Unfortunately, the one thing still up in the air is the price, although there's still room for one more rumor before Pentax removes all the mystery.

  • Sony develops "world's smalles Sony develops "world's smallest" HD camera module

    • From: naqhi
    • Description:

      The tiny HD hits keep coming today -- first we saw eASIC's $5 integrated H.264 codec chip, and now Sony's crowing about the new MCB1172 HD camera module it claims is the "world's smallest." There's some pretty impressive tech packed into that tiny package: you're looking at an 8.3 megapixel sensor that can shoot 720p/30 video with image stabilization, face detection, high-ISO mode, and 120fps slow motion. Not bad for a piece smaller than a quarter -- hopefully we'll see this thing pop up all over soon.

  • First Nikon D5000 and Canon T1 First Nikon D5000 and Canon T1i video clips appear

    • From: naqhi
    • Description:

      It's kind of strange that the most anticipated sample media from the latest crop of DSLRs is actually HD video, but that's the way the market's going, and the new Canon EOS Rebel T1i and Nikon D5000 are no exception. Demystifying Digital has footage from both, and while Nikon's newest seems to deliver essentially the same CMOS jelly-motion results from its 12.3 megapixel sensor as the D90, the T1i is a pleasant surprise -- we're not seeing much wiggle at 720p, which might be a result of the higher-res 15 megapixel sensor. We'll wait to see full-res samples and some actual still images before we crown a winner, but we'll tell you right now that neither one of these is going to make us leave a dedicated camcorder behind when it's important -- the lack of autofocus and the windblown internal mics just don't cut it. Videos after the break.

      Sure, it's got that funky flip-out display, in-camera panorama stitching, HD video recording and a host of other fancy features for its $500 pricepoint, but does Sony's new Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 give DSLRs a run for their money? Digital Photography Review doesn't seem to think so. The camera has a lot in common with Canon's similarly-positioned SX1 IS, and even bests it in some departments with that 10 fps continuos shooting mode, but the actual image quality just isn't in the same ballpark as a barely more expensive DSLR, and DP Review figures that if you don't need the 20x zoom or other more gimmicky features, most folks would probably be better served by saving their pennies for the real deal.

      OK today is Friday March 27 2009, the first ever DCIM show which stands for Digital Camera Imaging Media Show. Held at the Mid Valley Exhibition Center it'll run through the weekend. It's got the usual stuff dealers for all the major players. Nikons booth is showing of their newest toy the D3 and the D3x, so if you're upgrading and looking for a nice upgrade check it out. Canon's got their newest toy out too, their Eos 5D Mark II their latest high end camera that shoots HD video. Their showing off the video features specifically though so I guess their confident enough about the still features that they're not bothered to mention it anymore. Although we were truly impressed with their efforts at pushing the video features especially since they even bothered to bring in a specially designed rig and mount system design specifically for shooting video. Made by Red Rock Micro the rig and mount comes in several configurations and fits most SLR so we're kind of itching to get our hands on it too to try it out with the D90.

      Other than that the usual stuff is there booths selling storage media, tripods and camera accessories. There will be a model shoot as well one hosted by Nikon and also another hosted by the organizers which is also a model search sort of thing. So go grab your camera and drop by the show at Mid Valley. We'll be there too and after that we'll be posting up what we shoot here!
