    TT.png

    App-based smart camera trigger system ‘Triggertrap’ can now be used remotely if the user has two smart devices. The latest version of the mobile app, which allows a wide range of cameras to be triggered in response to a range of events or with sophisticated time-lapse functions, features a Wi-Fi mode. In Wi-Fi mode, a remote ‘master’ iOS device can be used to remotely configure and trigger a camera that is connected to a Tirggertrap mobile dongle and a second smart device (either an iOS or Android phone or tablet).

  • AT&T announces Samsung Galaxy Camera for $499

    US cellphone network AT&T will sell Samsung’s Galaxy Camera from November 16th at a price of $ 499. The Android 4.1 connected camera, which essentially adds a 21x zoom compact camera to a Galaxy SIII smartphone (with the omission of phone function), will cost the same amount with or without a data contract – rather than being subsidized by the carrier, as smartphones usually are. Anyone buying a Samsung smartphone at the same time can receive up to a $ 100 discount. The AT&T version of the camera will offer a HSPA+ connection, not the faster LTE system.

    Just Posted: Studio test images from the Pentax K-5 II and its low-pass-filter-free sister model, the K-5 IIs. We’ve shot studio test samples with Pentax’s latest 16MP DSLRs. Not only does this mean you can see the differences between the K-5 II and the ‘s’ variant but it allows you to compare them with the original K-5 or almost every camera we’ve tested in recent years. It also means you can download the Raw files from either camera to process to your own tastes.

  • Just Posted: Six page Nikon D5200 hands-on preview

    Just Posted: Nikon D5200 in-hand preview. We’ve been able to spend some time with Nikon’s latest mass-market DSLR – the 24MP D5200. At first glance it’s nearly indistinguishable from its predecessor, the D5100, but beyond the sensor, it also gains the 39-point AF system and 2,016 pixel metering sensor from the D7000. This represents a significant step up for this class of DSLR. It also has the option to join the ‘connected camera’ set, with the option of a clip-on Wi-Fi unit. Is this enough to keep the D5200 relevant amongst its smaller mirrorless rivals?

  • New law gives Canadian photographers copyright to all their photos

    canadian1_2.jpg

    A major copyright reform bill came into effect today in Canada, granting photographers copyright of all of their photographs – regardless of whether they have been commissioned. Previously, copyright on photographs belonged to the commissioner of the images, not to the photographer, transferrable only by a written contract. One of the stated goals of the law is to ‘give photographers the same rights as other creators’. Click through for more details (via PetaPixel).
