iPhone on Flickr
August 18th, 2009
Apparently, iPhone has become the most commonly used camera on Flickr.It has overtaken both Canon Digital Rebel, Nikon D80, and Canon 40D.
While this is not really suprising, it does say a lot about the rumored iPod camera. If true, it would most likely be another hit for Apple.
Canon develops Hybrid IS
July 22nd, 2009
Electronista reports that Canon has developed a new technique for Image Stabilization (IS).
Image Stabilization does wonders for wildlife and macro photography, as it eliminates the camera shake enough to allow for sharp images at several f-stops lower than before. This lets photographers get sharper images in lower light conditions without the use of a tripod.
The new Hybrid Image Stabilization will compensate for the angular shake of the lens, inclusing the traditional vertical and horizontal shifts. I can imagine this being especially useful for long telephoto lenses.
[Canon ]hopes to introduce the technology into SLR lenses, where the long zooms, weight and need for image quality particularly merit better stabilization hardware.
Great stuff!
Canon 1D Mark IV: Evolution
June 20th, 2009
As an avid Canon 1D Mark III user, I was delighted to see rumors of the next step in 1D evolution. The camera is reported to have a 16 megapixel sensor. More impressive to me is the huge ISO range, from 50 to 26,500, apparently with very high quality. The camera is told to be announced in August.
I am surprised Canon included HD Video mode, taken from 5D mark II. I was really hoping it would keep the 1D series a true photo camera, instead of packing it with every feature imaginable.
Time will tell if these rumors are true. For now I’m off to the West coast with my trusty Mark III. Photo report will be posted upon my return.
8MPX Cell phone camera
March 19th, 2009
Sony Ericsson C905 will include an 8 mega pixel camera.
WHY??
Not long ago, I had a great 6 megapixel SLR. It was my first digital SLR, and I loved it! A few years ago I upgraded to a 10 megapixel beast, and did not notice much change in the picture size.
Now, I am assuming the Sony Ericsson C905 will include similar small crappy lens, like the other cell phones. So the picture quality will probably be similar to the 2 megapixel camera I have in the iPhone. So why is Sony doing this? Just to prove Moore’s law? Or add a little jizz to an otherwise unimpressive phone?
Makes no sense to me.
