Design and features The best way to describe the Galaxy Camera is to imagine a 21x optical zoom lens strapped onto the back of your large-screen Android smartphone. In essence, that's exactly what this camera has done. Unlike the Nikon Coolpix S800c , which we saw a few months ago, the Galaxy Camera has a lot more going for it on paper. It runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and comes with a quad-core processor that ensures nifty response times. The lens itself has some reasonable-looking specs: as mentioned, 21x optical zoom with 23mm wide angle, and a maximum aperture range of f/2.8-5.9, which is impressive and on par with other superzoom cameras.

The Galaxy Camera. While the Galaxy Camera has a substantial front grip, because the entire back panel is covered with the touchscreen, there's nowhere to rest thumbs or fingers. A flash unit can pop up from the side of the camera with a dedicated button. There are plenty of shooting modes to keep most photographers occupied. Performance.

S7000 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Table of Contents 9/5/05 - additional compatible flash guns added This is an unofficial FAQ for the Fujifilm S7000 but alot of the information is also relevant to the 4900, 6900, S602, S5000 and S20 Pro. The information in this FAQ has been gathered from personal experience and the excellent discussions and advice on the www.dpreview.com Fujitalk forum at forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?

Forum=1012. The Fujifilm Finepix S7000 is a 6 mega-pixel ("MP") digital camera with 6x optical zoom based on its predecessor the s602. It uses Fujifilm's 4th generation Super CCD HR sensor with 6.3 million effective pixels, delivering 12 million recorded pixels. It is NOT a 12MP camera although it will generate 12MP interpolated images in RAW or JPEG formats. Fujifilm's 4th generation Super CCD HR sensor with 6.3 million effective pixels as used in the S7000 is a 1/1.7-inch sensor. The S7000 has a "Super-EBC Fujinon Lens" with 6x optical zoom. Fujifilm genuine lenses Olympus lenses Sony lenses More info. Cameras. Our perception of any piece of technology is greatly influenced by it’s ease of use and overall user experience.

For example, when I bought my first DSLR, my decision came down to Canon vs Nikon. I tried Sony, Pentax and Olympus and didn’t like them for one reason or another, but I knew that I could be happy shooting with either Canon or Nikon. How did I finally end up making my decision? The menu system. I preferred Nikon’s menus and navigation over Canon’s, so I bought a D40. Now, eight years and tens of thousands of dollars later, I’m still a Nikon guy, all because of the difference in menu design. In this article, I’m going to share a few simple tricks that I’ve picked up over the years that make using my Nikon a little bit easier.

All images shown are from the D800 menu. 1) Formatting Memory Cards If your camera has two memory card slots, you’ll usually want to format both memory cards before you start shooting. Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd - Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd. As I mentioned, the AF system is reasonably quick, locking on in good light in about 0.8 of a second, and thanks to the brightest AF lamp I’ve ever seen it will focus in total darkness at a range of at least 6m. The pop-up flash is also very good, with an effective range at wide angle of an impressive 8.3m, or 4.6m at the telephoto end. Image quality is superb compared to most other 6MP cameras, thanks mainly to the quality of the lens. Despite its huge zoom range it manages to produce virtually no distortion at the wide angle end and is pin-sharp right across the frame.

The 1/1.7in SuperCCD HR sensor appears to be that same one found in the FinePix F30, and has the same slight problem with purple fringes on high-contrast edges, but it is very minor and under normal conditions hardly shows up at all. Colour rendition, contrast and dynamic range are all excellent. With the sensor the S6500 also inherits the F30’s amazing high-ISO performance. Verdict. RE:Vision Effects, Inc. : Products: Twixtor. Twixtor® intelligently slows down and speeds up your image sequences. Twixtor raises the bar in motion estimation. Twixtor is much more accurate, tracks objects farther, and exhibits fewer artifacts when there are objects crossing in the scene. This means less tearing and stretching of objects as they cross or go out of the frame. Twixtor enables you to speed up, slow down or frame rate convert1 your image sequences with visually stunning results. In order to achieve its unparalleled image quality, Twixtor synthesizes unique new frames by warping and interpolating frames of the original sequence... employing RE:Vision's proprietary tracking technology that calculates motion for each individual pixel.

Right, on with the show! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Truth About Graphics Power Requirements V2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok. These factors include the following: (In general order of which effects peak power the most to the least) Die size/chip architecture/fabrication process (110nm/90nm/65nm/55nm etc) - Smaller process equals a smaller die, thus less power needed. Last thing of note. Without further a do, the graphs... Vignetting. People who arrived on this page through wikipedia, or otherwise wonder about the unorthodox terminology ... the terms "natural", "optical", "artificial", and "mechanical" vignetting, as well as the "cat's eye effect" have all been adopted from Ref. [1].

A photograph or drawing whose edges gradually fade into the surrounding paper is called a vignette. The art of creating such an illustration is a deliberate one. Yet the word vignetting is also used to indicate an unintended darkening of the image corners in a photographic image. There are three different mechanisms which may be responsible. Natural and optical vignetting are inherent to each lens design, while mechanical vignetting is due to the use of improper attachments to the lens. Natural and optical vignetting lead to a gradual transition from a brighter image center to darker corners. At large apertures both phenomena are present and the combined effect is often designated by the term "illumination falloff".

Optical vignetting. Chromatic aberrations. When different colors of light propagate at different speeds in a medium, the refractive index is wavelength dependent. This phenomenon is known as dispersion. A well-known example is the glass prism that disperses an incident beam of white light into a rainbow of colors [1]. Photographic lenses comprise various dispersive, dielectric glasses.

These glasses do not refract all constituent colors of incident light at equal angles, and great efforts may be required to design an overall well-corrected lens that brings all colors together in the same focus. Chromatic aberrations are those departures from perfect imaging that are due to dispersion.

Longitudinal and transverse chromatic aberration One discriminates between two types of chromatic aberration. Figure 1. Obliquely incident light leads to the transverse chromatic aberration, also known as lateral color. Figure 2. Examples A cross was made from two black matchsticks and mounted on a cork. Figure 3.

How To Put A Photobucket Photo Into An eBay Listings. General Bird Photography FAQ. While 300mm, 400mm, and even short zoom lenses can be useful at times for bird photography, my recommendation to those seriously interested in making quality photographs of birds is to purchase a lens with a focal length of at least 500mm. For photographing birds in flight, however, handheld 400mm f/5.6 lenses perform superbly. And in places like South Florida where the birds are extraordinarily tame, a 400mm lens may suffice as a general purpose bird lens. Image size is, however, a function of the square of the focal length, so a minimum focal length of 500mm is to be much preferred. With the addition of the matched 1.4X teleconverter, you'll have an effective focal length of 700mm.

You'll have many more chances to photograph birds than you would with any shorter telephoto lens. There are only 2 choices: the Gitzo 410 or the lightweight Gitzo 1548 Carbon Fiber.

You get a nice neck strap and batteries included. Camera uses usual SD card (not included). I've not played with the settings enough to suss out how to take clear pictures in a dark restaurant environment without using flash. With flash you do get a good clear picture. If you take pictures without flash it does produce pictures mimicking the colours you see. Camera is very well built, can see it lasting a while. I went looking for a case for the camera and came across the Sony LCS-BBD and have found it fits it nicely, very snug. Fujifilm finepix hs10. Fuji FinePix S2500.

Fuji FinePix S5000 Digital Camera When a camera is this good you need to ignore the fact that this is a mere 3.1 megapixels.

Fuji Finepix S9500 Review. The Fuji Finepix S9500 is an advanced digital camera. It has many features that you would expect to find on a Digital SLR camera.

With nine megapixels and a 10.7x optical zoom lens the Finepix S9500 is a very powerful digital camera.
