3 February, 2013 – Canon 200-400mm f/4 IS Exclusive Preview

03 Feb

Whatever one might think about Canon’s product strategy, they never let us down when it comes to innovative, interesting and hughly useful new lenses.

One such is the still-to-be released Canon 200-400mm f/4 IS, a critical focal length range that has been a Nikon exclusive for some time now. But Canon has upped the ante this time with a built-in 1.4X teleconverter.

Find out about this exciting new lens with an exclusive video review by Joshua Holko, being published today for the first time.


Irish photographer and teacher Peter Cox together with our friend Icelandic photographer Daniel Bergman, and Chas Glatzer are leading a workshop to the high Arctic and Svalbard island in August to photograph landscape and wildlife. 

As a bonus, Phase One’s Kevin Raber will also joining-up, bringing a range of Phase One cameras, lenses, and backs for participants to use.

There are still a few spots left on this teriffic workshop.
Find out more.

  

 "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!"

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: Pentax MX-1 hands-on preview

07 Jan

mx-1-preview.png

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.

Lytro Camera Exclusive Hands-On Preview

25 Dec

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

Buy Mark’s Studio Lighting DVD: www.studiolightingessentials.com In this video Mark gives some tips on working with models. This video is focused on what to do before, during, and after the shoot. Mark also gives tips on where to find models. Don’t miss the bloopers at the end. It’s a dance off!
