RED teases mysterious, compact Komodo camera

[ad_1] It’s not a replacement for the company’s DSMC2 technology, one of the company’s existing sensors or a module. There are no typical video features like HDMI output and XLR input, and you won’t have to use RED’s signature storage. And it’s definitely not a big device — it’s no larger than 4 inches “in […]

Sony says its USB hub is the world’s fastest SD card reader

[ad_1] The hub supports 100W power delivery to handle monitors and other particularly demanding peripherals. You’ll also have USB-C and USB-A connectors to connect devices new and old, not to mention HDMI output for video up to 4K at 30 frames per second. Even the case is resilient, with IP68 dust and water resistance as […]

Leica’s V-Lux 5 is a high-end, travel-friendly camera

[ad_1] The centerpiece is the combination of a 20-megapixel, 1-inch sensor with a 16X 25-400mm equivalent f/2.8-4.0 lens. You should get good low-light performance and overall high quality, even when you’ve zoomed all the way out. The Panasonic roots also ensure fast autofocus (as little as 0.1 seconds), continuous burst shooting at 12 frames per […]

Leica’s new ‘entry’ M rangefinder camera costs $3,995

[ad_1] While the Typ 240 now has a healthy 2GB buffer that allows shooting three frames per second, the sensor only shoots at a max ISO of 6,400. It won’t be a low-light champ, even if the full-frame sensor helps overall performance. You’ll also have to settle for 1080p video recording, which may feel out […]

Nikon plans an answer to Sony’s A9 mirrorless pro camera

[ad_1] Although Umatate didn’t say as much, there’s little doubt that this future model would be an answer to Sony’s A9. Simply speaking, Sony is still thrashing Nikon (and Canon, for that matter) in the mirrorless market, if not interchangeable lens cameras as a whole. A parallel to the D5 could prevent pro photographers from […]

The best lenses for Fujifilm X mount

[ad_1] The Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR lens is Fujifilm’s take on the nifty fifty, a solid portrait lens that won’t break the bank. It’s super sharp, small, light, weather-resistant and focuses extremely quickly. At $400, you’ll struggle to find a better lens for an X-Series camera. If you’re seriously into portrait photography, the […]

Apple Aperture won’t run in macOS after Mojave

[ad_1] While albums, labels and the images themselves will make the cut, they won’t always have one-for-one equivalents. Color labels may pop up as keywords or tags, for example. Aperture’s non-destructive editing also won’t carry over properly — the Photos app will preserve the changes, but you can’t tweak them short of reverting to the […]

Leica’s compact, full-frame Q2 captures 47MP photos and 4K video

[ad_1] You can also expect some subtler additions. There’s a new 3.68-megapixel OLED viewfinder that provides a more accurate representation of the final shot. And if raw speed is important, you might like both the 10 frames per second continuous shooting as well as an autofocusing time under 0.15 seconds. That’s not the fastest lock-in […]
