Hands-on with Android 4.2’s Photo Sphere

21 Nov

title_1.jpg

While most smartphones still lag behind dedicated cameras in image quality they come with a lot more processing power and the ability to install apps. This allows you to do things on the move which, when done with a digital camera, would require a computer, a piece of software and some serious screen time. Android’s Photo Sphere feature is a good example – it allows you to stitch individual images into a 360° Photos Sphere and immerse yourself in a scene. Photo Sphere is part of the camera app of Android 4.2 – the latest version, as featured on the Nexus 4 smartphone. We’ve taken it out and had a play with it, click through to see how we got on.

We’ve added a gallery of real-world and studio images to our Canon EOS 6D preview. The EOS 6D won’t be available until at least December but we’ve been able to borrow a pre-production model for which we’ve been allowed to post samples. We’ve shot with the camera in a series of lighting conditions, using a variety of lenses, including the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 II USM and the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM. We’ve also shot an ISO sequence under challenging low-color-temperature artificial light. Click here to see how Canon’s latest full-frame challenger performs.

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?

Nikon D7000 Hands-on Review

04 Nov

The D7000 has finally landed and our presenter, Kai W, has been fondling the camera lovingly. So, what’s new about this successor to the D90? We’ve all seen the specs sheet, and it looks pretty good even when compared to the D300S and other such cameras like the Canon 7D and Pentax K-5. But what is it really like to use? Find out in this review. In this Video: Nikon D7000 – www.digitalrev.com Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G ED – www.digitalrev.com Visit our online store: www.digitalrev.com

The Canon 60D Crash Course DVD can be ordered from this link: michaelthementor.com This video will show you how to activate Live View for the Canon 60D and how to select and control the three different auto focus modes for Live View. It also covers how to use “Manual Focus with Zoom” during live view to achieve precise focus when shooting wide open or for macro. These methods and techniques also apply to focusing when shooting video. This lesson is one of many from my new training DVD “Canon 60D Crash Course” which will help beginning and advanced shooters alike to learn their Canon 60D in quick, easy to understand lessons.
