Photographer Michael Andrew of YouTube channel Michael the Maven has put together a ' Flagship Epic Shootout Review ' video comparing the Sony a9, Nikon D5 and Canon 1DX Mark II. The full video is genuinely worth your time, but if you don't have 44 minutes to spend watching the full review, one section in particular is both fun and frustrating: the blind portrait test. Like it or not, we all have implicit biases when it comes to comparing cameras—it's hard not to when you've spent thousands (or tens of thousands) on your kit. But is the camera you say you like best, the one that produces the images you like most? When it comes down to the camera, by itself, using its own color engine, do you prefer Nikon, Canon, or Sony? That's what Andrew wants to help you figure out, bias-free, in this blind portrait shootout. He shot 12 identical portraits using all three flagship cameras, and he challenges you to rank them before you know which camera shot whi...

FS5 II The FS5 has proven itself as a versatile tool for documentary, event and indie production filmmaking. The FS5 II offers several new features and refinements over the original FS5.

Sony claims this will result in a more fresh and vivid look with softer tones and more accurate skin tone reproduction. In addition it will support 4 second bursts of 4K/UHD video at 120fps or continuous 240fps in 2K RAW. These framerates and formats both require output to a compatible external recorder.

we had heard a few times that  Canon would be introducing a new supertelephoto zoom , something like an EF 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6 IS. This is the type of lens segment that is dominated by Sigma and Tamron, as Canon’s longest “affordable” zoom is the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II.          A patent for a zoom range smaller super telephoto has emerged. The optical formula is for an EF 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6 IS. We’ve heard in the past that   Canon was working on slower super telephoto lens , and a zoom makes a lot of sense. Patent Publication No. 2015-212724 Published 2015.11.26 Filing date 2014.5.1 Zoom ratio 3.00 Focal length 200.00 340.00 600.00 F-number 4.60 4.60 5.20 Angle of view 6.18 3.64 2.07 Image height 21.65 21.65 21.65 Overall length of the lens 355.16 355.16 355.16 BF 65.16 65.16 65.16 we’re told there’s a good chance it will come in the second  half of 2018. We’re also told that Canon seems to have a goal to give any new lens some kind of a ...

techradar's Selection There was a time when passion for photography was limited to those with a professional camera. There was a change in the trend soon after the emergence of social media platforms, and the ever growing demand for photography equipment.  A smartphone camera nowadays, of which the Google's Pixel is a good example, can do a fair job when it comes to good-looking or high-quality pictures. But if you want to pursue photography in detail, a DSLR is a better choice to learn the nitty gritties.  Since DSLRs are quite an investment, we suggest you to start with a budget DSLR.
