Panasonic Lumix GH1 Video Intro

November 17th, 2009 by Photo-John

 
Panasonic Lumix GH1 Video Intro Panasonic announced the Lumix GH1 Micro Four Thirds camera this March at the annual PMA tradeshow. It was the biggest announcement of the show and a solid follow-up to the first Micro Four Thirds camera and last year’s camera of the year, the Panasonic Lumix G1. Like the G1, the GH1 is a “system” camera with changeable lenses and a 12-megapixel Four Thirds sensor. The GH1 is basically the same as the G1 as far as still shooting goes, but it adds 1080p HD video capture and a new silent auto focus, 10x image-stabilized kit lens. Although it looks a lot like a digital SLR the GH1 is smaller and has an EVF (electronic viewfinder) instead of an optical through-the-lens viewfinder.

Nikon D3S Video Preview

November 10th, 2009 by Photo-John

 
Nikon D3S Pro Digital SLR Here’s a second wacky camera intro from NYC photographer, Bob Scott. This one is for Nikon’s new 12-megapixel full-frame D3S professional digital SLR, which looks like it could be the new king of low light photography. Bob visited with Nikon and checked out the new D3S at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York a few weeks ago and then decided to make this video preview. It covers the basic features and specs of the camera and manages to be pretty entertaining at the same time.

Olympus E-P2 Hands-On Video Intro

November 9th, 2009 by Photo-John

 
Last week Olympus announced their second Micro Four Thirds Pen Digital camera, the E-P2. We got a little sneak peak at the E-P2 in the form of a pre-production camera that showed up about a week before the announcement. Since it wasn’t a finished camera we couldn’t shoot studio tests or evaluate the performance. But we did get to shoot product photos and make a hands-on video of the E-P2 so you could see some of the new features in action.

Olympus E-P2 Preview

November 5th, 2009 by Photo-John

 
Olympus E-P2 Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera Micro Four Thirds fans, listen up! The Olympus E-P2 digital camera has landed and Olympus sent me one to check out for a few days before they made the announcement! Its predecessor, the Olympus E-P1 was one of the surprise hits of the summer. The Olympus E-P2 is more or less the same camera as the E-P1 with a few important new features. The most obvious difference is the sexy new black finish. But it goes deeper than that. Most important is the new Accessory Port and included Articulating EVF (electronic viewfinder). The rest of changes are internal. They include auto focus tracking (yes - it works in Movie Mode, too!), manual exposure control in movie mode, two new Art Filters and a new Picture Mode.

Canon PowerShot S90 Video Preview

October 30th, 2009 by Photo-John

 
Canon PowerShow S90 Compact Digital Camera The new Canon PowerShot S90 showed up at my door last week. The S-Series cameras have been missing from the Canon PowerShot lineup for a few years. Essentially, the S-Series offers G-Series image quality and performance in a pocket-sized package. Like previous S-Series PowerShot digital cameras, the Canon S90 has the same 10-megapixel sensor as its big brother, the G11. For people who want G11 image quality on the trail, in their pocket, in the briefcase or in their purse, it’s the camera to have.

Canon EOS 7D Ghosting Problem

October 28th, 2009 by Photo-John

 
Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR Yesterday there was a steady stream of blog posts and discussions on forums and social networking sites about a “ghosting” issue with the new Canon EOS 7D digital SLR. I’m not exactly sure who discovered the problem but I first saw it in a Twitter post linking to a British Journal Of Photography news post (read the BJP post). The gist of the problem is that when you use the camera in burst mode, subtle remnants of a previous image can end up in the subsequent frame. Canon has acknowledged the problem and say they’re working on a firmware fix.
