The four firmware updates bring improved autofocus performance in a number of different shooting modes, as well as support for Nikon's new FTZ II mount adapter and Nikkor Z mm F4 S lens.
Adrian Smith is back with another excellent slow-motion video of insects filmed with a high-speed Phantom camera. The original Tamron mm F2. Now Tamron is back with a second gen version that promises to be even better. Does it deliver on that claim? Chris and Jordan did a side-by-side comparison to find out.
Check out their gallery of sample photos to judge critical image quality for yourself. The lens will be a part of Panasonic's F1. Aptolux is a new company formed by videographers to create lighting solutions for videographers. Its first product is the Aptolux MP-1, a modular, transforming LED light that can be as compact as a lunchbox when not being used yet deliver bright, efficient light.
Sony's latest a7-series model is the most capable yet, but also the most expensive. We've been using Panasonic's new Lumix S 35mm F1. Panasonic has announced the Lumix S 35mm F1. Panasonic has released firmware version 1. The Hubble Space Telescope is in safe mode as engineers work to investigate what's wrong with the telescope's onboard instruments. This is the second time the venerable telescope has faced extended downtime after being offline for a month earlier this year.
Panasonic China has posted a pair of images to various Chinese social media sites that tease what appears to be a new lens launch. Gordon Laing is back at it again with another Retro Review. In this episode, Laing goes back 25 years to provide an in-depth overview of Nikon's unique Coolpix camera, which was half compact camera, half PDA.
The adapter includes optics to help offset the crop factor of APS-C cameras. OM Digital Solutions — the company that's bought the Olympus imaging division — has just launched the M. Zuiko Digital ED 20mm F1.

Reduce - Internal camera mechanisms are designed to minimise dust generation. The body cap is redesigned to prevent dust generation through wear on the cap itself. Repel - Anti-static technologies are applied to the low-pass filter covering the front of the sensor so as not to attract dust.
Remove - A Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit uses hi-frequency vibrations to shake dust from the low pass filter for a period of approximately one second after each start up. For instant shooting after power up, this feature is disabled immediately the shutter release is depressed. Upgrading The upgrade path to the EOS D from earlier EOS models is made easy by maintaining the same intuitive user interface and basic layout of key features and functions.

Latest sample galleries. Although much of the design remains the same as the D's -- it comes in either black or metallic-silver plastic -- there are a couple of key changes. The LCD display grew from 1. On one hand, using the main LCD allows for an exceptionally readable, in-your-face method of monitoring the settings. However, the paper-white background gets distracting, and the automatic sensor -- which blanks it when you put your eye to the viewfinder -- makes it even more so.
You can turn it off altogether, but the info in the viewfinder doesn't include ISO speed, white balance, battery level, and other useful settings that generally display on a status LCD. In most other respects, the control layout on the D mimics that of the D , which is pretty much how it's been on Canon dSLRs since the beginning. That's an unfoolish consistency we can get behind. It can also accept all the same accessories as the D does. The kit version comes with the F3. Most amateurs will find all the essentials: a handful of manual, semimanual, and automatic exposure modes; user-selectable nine-point autofocus, and AI Servo autofocus for moving subjects; and simultaneous RAW-plus-JPEG capture.
Similar to many other dSLRs, the low-pass filter layer vibrates when the camera powers off or on in order to shake dust away from the sensor; plus, there's an antistatic coating on the filter that repels dust. Furthermore, a bit of adhesive surrounding the sensor is designed to grab the dust, keeping it from flying around inside the camera chassis.
In addition to dust control, Canon has split the low-pass filter into two parts, effectively placing whatever dust does settle beyond the range of focus. Simply metering on the subject's face should have solved this shot's exposure problem, but the partial metering didn't work left. A spot meter probably would have been able to handle it. Instead, I had to boost the exposure value of the entire scene by jumping to ISO right.
Unfortunately, like the EOS D , the D lacks a spot meter; it supplies only evaluative, center-weighted average, and partial center-weighted metering. There is simply no substitute for a spot in tricky lighting situations.
In fact, we couldn't avoid severe underexposures of a backlit subject with the available metering tools, which is inexcusable for a camera of this class. Performance Though the CMOS imager used by the D is the same physical size as the version in the D , Canon crammed more pixels into the space to bump up the resolution and improved the design of the microlenses that sit atop each photosite -- the microlenses gather indirect light and focus it back on the sensor -- as well as increases the size of the photosites themselves.
Furthermore, while still relatively low for its class, the D's measured and visible image noise was significantly worse than that of the CCD-based Nikon D80 for any given ISO speed. In general, the D's measured speed fell short of the D80's as well. Our experience bears that out: though it felt as if it were fast and responsive, we frequently found the shot was captured just a fraction of a second too late. Keep in mind that it takes a while to adjust to the pace of a camera and get a feel for its shooting rhythm -- and we've been shooting with faster pro models such as the Canon 30D and Olympus E-1 -- and it's fast enough so that, in time, the number of missed shots would have dropped.
Continuous-shooting performance has been tweaked a bit. It fared slightly better in our testing, though the 7-second lag before you can continue shooting can be a bit frustrating. The D uses Canon's Digic II chipset rather than the newer Digic III, and we wonder if the company might have been able to eke out better performance and noise suppression with the latter.
