Selfi Camera for my mum - odd question I know http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/20919/selfi-camera-for-my-mum-odd-question-i-know Mon, 19 Nov 2018 23:56:22 +0000 TimTomTum 20919@/talks/discussions So my mum decided to get a smartphone 2 years ago after saying she doesnt want one. Now she is always taking pictures on holidays or on vacation. Mostly selfie style pictures of us, my dad, grandparents, her longtime friends yadayda. Her Samsung S3 Mini has such a bad camera that I thought about getting her a cheap point and shoot with a screen that folds up, so she can take more selfies, for christmast. So I can go print the good ones.

Anyone has a tip on a really cheap or used deal? No video needed, just a good autofocus and decent IQ and a screen that folds up.

Pixii is designed for the new generation of photographers. Everyone has a smartphone now. The smartphone has become, by and large, the number 1 camera in the world. At the same time, the traditional camera market has collapsed. Was it killed by the smartphone? No, photographers just aren’t interested in old cameras anymore. This is the end of the line for the digital camera designed in the 80s: a sensor, a CPU and a screen. All of these components were necessary back then. Because computers were rare and hard to use.

Except it's 2018 now. Who seriously needs a fixed function computer and a bad LCD at the back of a camera? Pixii is the fusion of 2 essential elements: the physical camera body and the software, virtualized into an app, that dynamically develops the picture on a screen. - Pixii

Phase One IQ3 100MP Trichromatic Digital Back http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/17751/-phase-one-iq3-100mp-trichromatic-digital-back Wed, 13 Sep 2017 15:42:13 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 17751@/talks/discussions image

COPENHAGEN, September 13, 2017 – Phase One today announced the Phase One IQ3 100MP Trichromatic Digital Back, based on a new CMOS sensor designed to capture color as perceived by the human eye. The new sensor technology in the IQ3 100MP Trichromatic Digital Back is the brainchild of a longstanding collaboration between Sony and Phase One. The result is astonishing color definition – with which champions of photography are able to create and express their artistic visions more accurately than ever before.

In this way, Phase One’s latest product brings unsurpassed color quality to the hands of the finest photographers across the globe.

The 100MP CMOS sensor in the IQ3 100MP Trichromatic Digital Back incorporates new Bayer Filter color technology, the result of Phase One’s close working relationship with Sony. Available exclusively through Phase One, this new technology transforms digital color capabilities to render color more authentically than ever - giving the world’s foremost photographers 101-megapixels of unprecedented creativity.

Click on the following link to learn more about the Phase One IQ3 100MP Trichromatic Digital Back: www.phaseone.com/trichromatic

“As a photographer, one of the things that excites me the most is having the opportunity to use color to evoke emotion. The Trichromatic Camera System itself becomes a true extension of my vision, and what my eye sees and what my eye wants to express - the camera delivers.” – Tony Hewitt, Fine Art Photographer

This pioneering sensor design has also established the lowest and therefore cleanest base ISO of any medium format CMOS sensor. At an impressive ISO 35, the results of the IQ3 100MP Trichromatic are crisp and clean, providing the absolute lowest digital noise for any CMOS system of its size.

“The ability to capture an image that reflects exactly what you see the moment you press the shutter button, with little interpretation or conjecture, is a fantastic leap for photography and more importantly, for the integrity of image quality,” said Niels Knudsen, Phase One Image Quality Professor.

Availability and Pricing:

The IQ3 100MP Trichromatic Digital Back is available now through Phase One Partners: www.phaseone.com/partners. Contact your local Phase One Partner to arrange a demo.

The Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price for the IQ3 100MP Trichromatic Digital Back is $44,990 USD.

It looks like Yongnuo is getting ready to ship a new camera that clips onto your smartphone. Details are still pretty light on specs, but some of the rumors sites have pictures and screenshots from the companion app which is already in the app store. It seems from the pictures that they've decided for the weird pairing of 4/3 sensor and EF mount. Why not just use a micro 4/3 mount which allows smaller lenses as well as maintaining EF compatibility?

Phase One iXM 100MP Camera with BSI MF Sensor http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/19638/phase-one-ixm-100mp-camera-with-bsi-mf-sensor Fri, 04 May 2018 15:45:51 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 19638@/talks/discussions

Phase One Industrial today launched the iXM series: a breakthrough aerial camera platform driven by the world's fastest medium-format imaging sensor. Engineered for UAV-imaging missions, the iXM 100MP is a high-productivity metric camera with a range of high-resolution lenses. The iXM is ready for integration with a wide range of UAV platforms, including Phase One's DJI Matrice 600 Pro solution.

The iXM 100MP metric camera incorporates the first medium-format sensor with backside-illumination technology, enabling high light sensitivity and extended dynamic range. Fast, highly responsive, robust, and weatherproof (IP53 compliant), the iXM 100MP delivers superior quality aerial imaging and flexible operation to satisfy diverse mapping, surveying, and inspection applications.

Also today, Phase One announced four new specially developed RSM lenses -- with focal lengths ranging from 35mm to 150mm -- to seamlessly fit the new sensor's 3.76?m pixel size and 33x44 mm frame size, ensuring image sharpness across the entire FOV. The lenses are available with either fixed-focus or motorized-focus functionality.

The fixed-focus 35mm and 80mm lenses provide superior image radiometric quality, high ground resolution, and large coverage -- perfect for surveying applications.

The motorized-focus 80mm and 150mm lenses are ideal for a wide range of inspection applications, including electricity poles, wind turbines, bridges, and other private-sector or government structures.

Motorized-focused lenses, having no external moving parts, enable a number of new uses for inspection applications where the focusing distance can be predefined based on flight planning, or by the operator, using a wireless remote control. With the motorized lens, the camera captures sharp and highly detailed images of multi-distance or 3D objects.

The cameras' RSM lenses incorporate a new leaf-shutter technology, which supports 3 fps capture -- with a speed of 1/2500 sec -- while guaranteeing 500,000 actuations. The lenses are thermally stable to ensure consistent focus over a wide range of temperatures and flight altitudes. With optics designed to exploit the full benefits of the new sensor technology, the lenses provide with greater productivity, flexibility, and reliability, offering superb image quality.

The new iXM platform adds XQD high-speed storage technology to handle the sensor's extremely fast frame rate. Also on all cameras, HDMI output from actual exposure provides UAV operators simple and outage-free feedback of actual view, exposures, and camera status in overlays. In addition, the new platform includes USB-C and 10G Ethernet for versatility of connectivity to large UAVs and aircraft.

For complete technical specifications, please see http://industrial.phaseone.com/landing/The_New_iXM_Series.aspx

"Working with our UAV partners, we see a fast-growing market driven by great potential for time and cost savings over traditional inspection and surveying methods," said Dov Kalinski, General Manager of Phase One Industrial. "With its new technology, design, and capabilities, the iXM 100MP promises to help start a new era in inspection missions with UAVs. Phase One Industrial continues to push technical boundaries to equip drones and larger UAVs with superior imaging technology -- engineering advanced systems, cameras, and software -- to help achieve that potential."

Availability and Pricing

The iXM 100MP and iXM 50MP metric cameras are available today for advance order -- from Phase One Industrial partners worldwide -- with delivery in June 2018.

Pricing for the:

  • iXM 100 MP camera: 32,000 Euro/40,000 USD

Leica Camera Special Edition M Monochrom http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/19167/leica-camera-special-edition-m-monochrom Sat, 10 Mar 2018 09:34:57 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 19167@/talks/discussions image

PR

March 8, 2018 – Today, Leica announced an unprecedented special edition of its unique digital rangefinder camera with a black-and-white sensor: the Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) ‘Stealth Edition.’ Limited to just 125 sets worldwide and designed by Marcus Wainwright, CEO, Founder and Creative Director of the New York-based fashion brand rag & bone, the special edition camera and accompanying Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 ASPH. lens matches Leica’s high standard for quality and craftsmanship, with a new twist. With the M Monochrom camera, Wainwright, a longtime Leica photographer and enthusiast of black-and-white photography, has intensified the highly coveted unobtrusive nature of the camera with a unique matte black look and glow-in-the-dark accents for added functionality.

“For me the Leica M system personifies the pursuit of perfection in an object designed for a singular purpose. Inspired by that, I was aiming to try and further refine and perfect the M Monochrom - an almost impossible task - by distilling it to its purest form and highlighting the stealth nature of the camera and lens,” Wainwright said.

Staying true to Leica’s integrity and his focus on the essentials, Wainwright sought to perfect the iconic design of the Leica M camera with an aesthetic that marries purity with function. The ‘Stealth Edition’ of the Leica M Monochrom is quite possibly the most discreet camera on the market today, with both camera and lens dressed in an unassuming black matte finish and minimal branding to eliminate any distractions from the purity and integrity of the design. Only the most important engravings for photographic settings are highlighted on both the camera and lens, each crafted with a with a striking glow in dark fluorescent paint for optimal use in low-light situations. A jet-black, extremely smooth cowhide leather trim adds a layer of texture to the camera and excellent grip for the on-the-go photographer.

The ‘Stealth Edition’ set maintains all the hallmark features of the original M Monochrom (Typ 246) and Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 ASPH. lens. The sensor of the Leica M Monochrom is liberated from color filters, recording only luminance values to capture light with unparalleled sharpness and integrity, even at high ISO ranges. Along with its low susceptibility to image noise, bright viewfinder and rangefinder, ultra-quiet shutter release, and unique design, the ‘Stealth Edition’ set enhances the pursuit to “see in the dark” by broadening horizons for available-light photography and the creation of dynamic atmospheric images.

Meanwhile, the lens has the classic street photographer’s focal length of 35 mm and impresses with high imaging performance and uniquely pleasing bokeh. Despite its high speed and exceptional image quality, its dimensions are astoundingly compact. Paired with this lens, the Leica M cameras become extremely compact, versatile and elegant photographic tools.

The Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) ‘Stealth Edition’ will be on sale from March 20, 2018. The edition is strictly limited to only 125 camera sets worldwide, each of which bears a distinctive serial number. The set also includes a comfortable, black fabric carrying strap, a metal front cap for the lens and a certificate of authenticity.

An interview with a man in Buenos Aires who makes his own cameras http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/19159/an-interview-with-a-man-in-buenos-aires-who-makes-his-own-cameras Fri, 09 Mar 2018 06:30:40 +0000 eatstoomuchjam 19159@/talks/discussions While I was in Buenos Aires, in a small antique market, I met a man named Ricardo who both makes his own medium format cameras, but is also working on a project to modify a bunch of 6x6 fixed lens TLR's into 6x7 TLR's with interchangeable lenses. He agreed to let me interview him for my youtube channel. It's always exciting to meet other people who make cameras - especially when their cameras/designs are better than my own!

This is definitely not my best work, technically - since I am traveling internationally, I have pretty minimal gear with me and his booth at the market is pretty small so I needed to make a lot of compromises for framing and lens choice (a 15mm lens means our hands and arms look huge when moved to the foreground)!

As I have nearly no experience with Canons I turn to you with this question: Which model and lens or kit should I look into?

Thank you very much for your input!

GH5 or A6500 http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/17368/gh5-or-a6500 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 07:33:24 +0000 Manu4Vendetta 17368@/talks/discussions If you had to buy just one camera for photo and video (short films), what would you choose?. Although starting the A6500 is better for still photo than the GH5.

Thanks!
