1″ sensors could save the compact camera says Aptina’s Sandor Barna

16 Oct

Sandor-Barna_sm.jpg

Following the announcement of its 1″ sensor, we spoke to Aptina’s Sandor Barna, who believes these larger sensors could save the compact camera by offering a leap in quality that smartphones can’t compete with. Barna, the Vice President and General Manager of Aptina’s Consumer Camera Business Unit, told us about the unfilled gap in the market that 1″ sensors can address, explained the freedoms that the larger format gives the company’s designers, and why this is currently best exemplified by a product it wasn’t involved in: The Sony RX100.

4 September, 2012 – Medium Format Image Quality from a sub-$1k Compact?

06 Sep

Is the headline above hyperbole, or am I just laying out some troll bait? Neither actually. That’s why I put a question mark after it.

The new Sigma DP2 Merrill is destined to be one of the most polarizing cameras in a while. It is not without its flaws (none terribly serious if IQ is your primary need), but it also produces some of the highest resolution images that I’ve seen short of a top-of-the-line DSLR with a 1st rate prime lens attached, or from a medium format back.

What have I been smoking? Read my Sigma DP2 Merrill review and find out.

     

 "Every time I go back to a module I had already seen, I learn additional things.  I have never seen tutorials that have the excellent mix of what the features are, 
how to use them, enough of the under-the-hood information 
and concepts so that I can utilize the features creatively and efficiently, 
and just enough humor to keep the motivation level high.  Wow!"

Nikon Coolpix P7700 preview – 12MP CMOS-based enthusiast compact

25 Aug

nikon_cpp7700.png

Nikon has revealed the Coolpix 7700 a CMOS-based enthusiast compact camera with class-leading zoom lens. Its 28-200mm lens has a maximum aperture range of F2.0-4.0, making it a whole stop brighter than its predecessor, the P7100’s. The P7700 is built around a 1/1.7″-type 12MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor, enabling 1080p30 video and 8fps shooting. The bigger lens means there’s no room for an optical viewfinder but the P7700 gains a flip-out swivel LCD instead. We’ve had a chance to handle the P7700 and have prepared a preview looking at the changes.
