Just posted: our hands-on preview of the Fujifilm’s updated enthusiast zoom compact, the X20. Using the same basic design as X10, including its fast 28-112mm equivalent F2-2.8 zoom lens, the X20 uses a completely new sensor, a 2/3″-type version of the X-Trans CMOS design used in the company’s X-system cameras but with adde3d on-chip phase detection AF. It also gains an ‘Advanced Optical Viewfinder’ that’s capable of displaying overlaid exposure information, and a couple of design tweaks to take best advantage of this. In our preview we take a closer look at what the X20 has to offer the enthusiast photographer.
Just Posted: Our hands-on preview of the Pentax MX-1. The enthusiast sector has become so vibrant that our pre-Christmas roundup included nine cameras. Not wanting to be left out of the action, Pentax-Ricoh has launched its own 12MP camera with a 1/1.7″ sensor – the MX-1. As well as a slightly familiar-looking 28-112mm equivalent, F1.8-2.5 zoom lens, the MX-1 takes the unusual step of including brass top- and base-plates – meaning its classic looks should become even more pronounced as it ages. Read on to find out more.
Here at CES in Las Vegas, we were lucky enough to be awarded with a few hours of playtime with the Lytro camera at the Wynn Garden Lobby. For those of you unfamiliar with this peculiar weapon of the digital imaging persuasion, the Lytro camera’s specialty is that it can capture images without the need to focus. Instead, images can be focused after the shot is taken. This is a breakthrough in digital imaging technology, and certainly a format that competitors like Canon and Nikon will have to contend with when the Lytro ships in late February. tchno.be Get more CES coverage at youtube.com or revision3.com For more tech goodness, check us out at: www.technobuffalo.com Follow Us on Twitter www.twitter.com Like Us on Facebook: www.facebook.com Check Us Out on Google + tchno.be
