5 Tips To Photograph From Plane Windows
Most of us have at some point or the other tried photographing out of a plane window. While some may have been successful at making acceptable images, many are left wondering where they went wrong. We’ve put together a few tips to help you with this.
Digital Cemera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1
This model is Panasonic’s answer to the latest craze – the micro four thirds miniature cameras. If you don’t already know, the micro four thirds cameras bring DSLR-like quality into a body as small as a compact. Lets put the DMC-G1 to the test!
The G1 is a result of a joint venture between Panasonic and Olympus – the micro four thirds system. This system allows for interchangeable lenses, but does away with the prism and the reflex system – making it a true hybrid between a DSLR and a compact.
Digital Camera Review: Olympus E-P2
A follow up to the E-P1, the Olympus E-P2 promises to be a worthy successor. It is a very similar model, with a few enhancements nevertheless. This is a black body (only) model, having an accessory jack at the rear, and the most usable of these accessories is the electronic viewfinder, which you get as a part of the E-P2 kit in the box.
Digital Camera Review: Samsung NX10
This is a carefully launched model by Samsung, and we expect a lot from it, as does everyone who has waited for a year since they first heard of the NX10. The 14 MP sensor is larger than most micro four thirds system models. Let’s put it to the test
Digital Camera Review: Ricoh GXR 24-72 Lens Unit
Right now, you can find only two lenses available for the Ricoh GXR. If you are on a budget, the 24-72mm is the way to go. The 24-72mm comes with a smaller sensor than the other option which is the 52mm f 2.5. By the way, we quote a zoom range of 24-72mm, keeping in mind the equivalent on a 35mm format (as is always the case in most articles you will find). Let us look at a few of the features of this lens unit.
Digital Camera Review: Olympus E-PL1
Olympus further miniaturizes the PEN series with the introduction of the PL1, and adds a flash into the little camera as well. The E-PL1 is a fine successor in the PEN line, staying faithful to the design of the series while adding more to the package. The is the first in the PEN series to have an in-built flash, so that’s a biggie by itself. The E-PL1 one has some easy to manipulate user controls.
For example, a slier allows you to set the warm tone on the image, with the tone lowering towards the blue on the opposite end. Like the previous models in the PEN series, the E-PL1 has its own in built art filters as well, 6 to be precise. The 12 MP sensor of this camera can capture images in JPG and RAW formats, apart from video files. Unfortunately Olympus has done away with stereo recording with this model, although ti is possible with the use of external microphones.
Digital Camera Review: The Panasonic Lumix G10
The G10 is NOT a DSLR but it does have similar design in many ways. Panasonic Lumix G10 considered as a Hybrid Digital Camera. It is smaller than a DSLR thanks to the fact it does NOT carry the mirror mechanism, and also the fact that it has a Micro Four-Thirds sensor. It is equipped with an impressive 12 MP sensor which gives a 2x crop factor. Both Panasonic and Olympus lenses may be used with the G10, and this is one of the biggest advantages of this camera. The 3 inch LCD is a 460 dot screen, but doesn’t have the vari-angle swivel like the G1 and G2. The electronic view finder too is of much lower resolution than the G2.
Digital Camera Review: Panasonic Lumix G2
Panasonic brings to you everything that made the G1 a success, with HD movie recording thrown in – to give you the G2. A touch screen LCD, and the all-new G2 is truly a ‘new’ model on the market. We put it to the test and in this post we would like to share the review with Panasonic Lumix G2.
Guide to Choose Digital Camera: Nikon vs Canon vs Sony
Debating on the ‘best’ camera maker is something that will never really end. Some swear by Nikon while others may swear by Canon, while others believe in another company! So why not take a more mature and appropriate stance on such discussions?
Imagine giving an excellent set of paints, brushes and a pallette to somebody who has no clue on how painting is done? Now imagine giving some very basic tools to an excellent, trained artist. Who do you think would be able to make a better painting at the end of the day? Now put this same question into context with photography. Just because you have a better camera does NOT necessarily mean you have become a better photographer.
Digital Camera Review: Sony NEX-5
SONY’s NEX-5 is the smallest ever micro system camera. SONY’s done well to have managed to put in a APS-C size CMOS into this midget body. Let us take a look at what makes this camera a good buy, if at all.
