Samsung Galaxy Camera Review 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. 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.

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.

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. Olympus SP-800UZ Review Introduction Announced in the run-up to PMA, the Olympus SP-800UZ is one of only two digital cameras in the world to boast a 30x zoom lens (the other one being the Fujifilm FinePix HS10, which was unveiled on the exact same day as the Olympus). On the SP-800UZ, the lens covers a 35mm equivalent focal range of 28-840mm. Other highlights of the camera include a 14-megapixel sensor, a 3-inch wide-screen LCD monitor, 720p HD movie recording capability, mechanical image stabilisation, high-speed continuous shooting at various speeds and resolution settings, and 2GB of internal storage plus SD card compatibility. The Olympus SP-800UZ is available at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of £369.99 / $349.99 in the UK / US, respectively.

The Truth About Graphics Power Requirements V2 - Atomic 3.0 First up I'd like to thank michael999 for starting the original thread HERE And here's my original thread with awesome sauce ASCII graphs! Link Alright, below is based loosley on the format that michael999 had started in his thread but with lots more data and info. 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.

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.
