I get my goodies at Ritz, Amazon and Adorama. Janaury 2014 Nikon Reviews Nikon Lenses All Reviews In the beginning, Nikon digital SLRs had sensors that only came in one size, called DX. Life was good. Nikon's DX sensors measure 15.8 x 23.6 mm, while 35mm film and FX digital sensors measure 24 x 36mm. In 2007 Nikon introduced the D3 digital camera with Nikon's first 24 x 36mm sensor, dubbed FX by Nikon. Lens Compatibility DX cameras take every lens. DX lenses have reduced image circles that only cover the smaller DX sensor. Film cameras can't use DX lenses because the smaller image circle will give black corners at some or all settings. Often DX lenses can be used at some settings on film cameras, but it's better to use a more appropriate lens.

Keep Shooting!: dpreview.com Editorial blog: Digital Photography Review There is a school of thought that says the more of you shoot the better the chances of getting a good set of photographs. Hobbyist photographer Juha Haataja proves how true this is. In 21 months he has crossed an exceptional 100,000 shots with his Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 camera, averaging to around 150 shots per day. Image Courtesy: Juha Haataja He says he owes a major portion of achieving this milestone to his camera. Juha’s photography largely revolves around nature and landscape. In 2008, Juha wanted to upgrade to a better camera. There are times when he considers of switching over to another camera because of LX3’s drawbacks at higher ISOs. The key aspect in his photography is to shoot the same subject over and over again in different angles, lighting conditions and camera settings. Personally, I haven’t shot with the LX3 or any camera for that matter to such a large extent.

Waarom zijn mijn foto’s te donker? Digitale foto's bekijken we op het scherm van de camera of de computer. Maar dat scherm moet wel goed afgesteld staan. Hugo Verboomen vraagt: “Als ik na het fotograferen het kiekje bekijk op het scherm van mijn camera, dan heb ik een heldere foto. Op de pc is de foto echter te donker, zodat ik hem met software helderder moet maken. Wat kan hiervan de oorzaak zijn?” Waarschijnlijk staat de helderheid van het schermpje op uw camera heel anders ingesteld dan de helderheid van uw computerscherm. Als u op uw scherm geen verschil ziet tussen de donkerste blokjes, dan staat uw scherm te donker afgesteld en moet u het wat helderder zetten. Om er zeker van te zijn dat uw computerscherm uw foto’s goed weergeeft, zou u het eigenlijk moeten kalibreren.

factor de conversion x1,5 - NikonistasFORO.com (Comunidad de usuarios de cámaras y fotografía digital) ¿será posible que aun hay algunos que hablan de factor de multiplicación de focal? Como lo han dicho algunos compañeros de arriba, pero tal vez no lo suficientemente alto, NO existe ningún coeficiente multiplicador de focal. La focal de un objetivo es algo propio del sistema óptico de este objetivo, y mide la distancia a la que se focaliza la luz entrante cuando el objetivo está calado sobre el infinito. Este distancia nunca cambia, que el objetivo esté acoplado a un sensor grande, pequeño, o a ninguna cámara en absoluto. Lo de decir que un objetivo de determinada focal se comporta con pequeños sensores como si tuviera otra focal no deja de ser una falacia comercial, porque vender una cámara "con factor de recorte" no suena nada bien en marketing, que siempre intenta multiplicar o sumar en sus discursos, y nunca dividir o restar. Un 200mm nunca equivaldrá a un 300mm si lo montas en una cámara DX. Para retratos en DX ¿cual es la buena focal? También te sirve un 28mm para retratos. pik

On Lenses For Small Cameras: dpreview.com Editorial blog: Digital Photography Review The year 2009 will surely be remembered by photographers as that which finally saw the long-overdue arrival of the large-sensor compact system camera. Indeed ever since compact digicams were first introduced, the obvious next step seemed to be to develop the basic concept with larger sensors and interchangeable lenses; so much so that the only real question has been, what's taken so long? But now that Olympus and Panasonic have blazed the trail with the likes of the E-P1 and GF1, and Samsung has shown its hand in the shape of the NX10, it seems only a matter of time before all of the major manufacturers jump on board and produce their own competitors in this potentially lucrative new market segment. But while we've certainly been pleased to see these new cameras, we've been less impressed by the lack of imagination shown by the initial lens ranges. Who's it for? What's it for? We now need to define the purpose that our lens set is to be designed for. Play to your strengths

ExpósitoPHOTO - Página web de expositophoto ExpósitoPHOTO es un espacio para la producción y enseñanza del lenguaje, la técnica y la teoría sobre la imagen fotográfica. Tenemos como finalidad recorrer el camino entre la percepción y la representación, buscando en el mirar y en el rigor de la técnica la construcción de una narrativa fotográfica. Un instante significativo y la luz funcionan como detonadores, asumiendo al acto fotográfico como un hecho consciente que involucra diversos factores premeditados, y en ocasiones regidos por un factor emocional, que nos induce a fotografiar. Es un proyecto que nace con la idea de formar, estructurar y fortalecer la educación fotográfica de una población interesada en aprender aspectos básicos y fundamentales del medio, a su vez integramos talleres específicos sobre teorización, conceptualización y análisis de la imagen que solidifiquen la estructura teórica y conceptual a una aproximación puntual y sólida.

Four Thirds | Four Thirds | Standard ●Angle of view and focal lengthThe angle of view represents the subject range that can be imaged with the image sensor, and is expressed in degrees. The shorter the focal length of the lens, the greater the angle of view (i.e. the lens is wide-angle), and the longer the focal length, the smaller the angle of view (i.e. the lens is telephoto). The angle of view is determined by the lens' focal length and the image sensor's diagonal length, and usually expressed with the following formula. With the Four Thirds system, the diagonal length of the image sensor is about 1/2 that of 35mm film. This facilitates the conversion of the focal length required for a given angle, which is about 1/2 of the focal length of the 35mm film camera lenses. Users who are accustomed to the traditional 35mm film camera can easily estimate the angle of view of a Four Thirds camera (for example, a 14-50mm lens for Four Thirds camera is equivalent to a 28-100mm lens for 35mm film camera).

CheesyCam » DIY Video and Photography Projects Buying a digital SLR: Guides: Learn Updated September 2013 Why buy a digital SLR? So you've decided to invest in a new digital camera and have made your mind up that you want to step up to a digital SLR, but the huge range of models on offer and endless flow of technical jargon have left you more confused than when you started? Fear not, this page will take the pain out of choosing the perfect digital SLR for you, whether you're a seasoned shooter or a total novice. Before we get down to business it's worth stopping for a moment to ask the question: why would anyone want a digital SLR when compact digital cameras are so much smaller, lighter and more affordable? The answer can be summed up in two words: versatility and image-quality. The versatility isn't just the fact you can change lenses and add a wide range of accessories - from basics such as flashguns and remote controls to the more specialized equipment that allow SLRs to capture anything from the tiniest bug to the most distant stars. What is an SLR? SLR versus SLT?
