Leica’s new ‘entry’ M rangefinder camera costs $3,995
[ad_1] While the Typ 240 now has a healthy 2GB buffer that allows shooting three frames per second, the sensor only shoots at a max ISO of 6,400. It won’t be a low-light champ, even if the full-frame sensor helps overall performance. You’ll also have to settle for 1080p video recording, which may feel out […]
Walmart uses AI camera tech to track checkout theft at 1,000 stores
[ad_1] The store chain is using tech from several companies, including Everseen. The technology has been in use for the past two years. If you ask the company, it appears to be working. Spokeswoman LeMia Jenkins told BI that shrinkage rates (that is, the loss of goods to theft and accidents) have dropped at stores […]
Nikon plans an answer to Sony’s A9 mirrorless pro camera
[ad_1] Although Umatate didn’t say as much, there’s little doubt that this future model would be an answer to Sony’s A9. Simply speaking, Sony is still thrashing Nikon (and Canon, for that matter) in the mirrorless market, if not interchangeable lens cameras as a whole. A parallel to the D5 could prevent pro photographers from […]
Apple’s big iMovie iOS update includes green screen and more
[ad_1] The update’s headline feature is undoubtedly the green screen effect — something already widely available in other video editing apps, so it’s about time Apple brought it to iMovie. With this, you can easily remove and edit the background of anything shot in front of a green (or blue) screen, and adjust the effect […]

The Extreme microSDXC now comes with a 1TB capacity option, which can help with the ever-increasing file sizes from 4K UHD video or just store every shot your itchy shutter finger snaps. Read speeds of up to 160MB/s help expedite file transfers […]
Panasonic’s cinema-centric S1H mirrorless camera can shoot 6K video
[ad_1] There’s no doubt that the S1H will be the most advanced full-frame mirrorless camera for video, well ahead of anything from Canon, Nikon and Sony. You’ll be able to shoot 5.9K 16:9 video at up to 30 fps, giving you more options to punch in or crop for a final 4K release format. It […]
Twitter now lets guests join your live video broadcasts
[ad_1] The company says this new functionality has been well-received globally since launching on Periscope, so it wanted to expand that to Twitter and give people another way to connect with each other every day. Like on Periscope, those who join you can use their microphone and be heard by everyone who’s watching your stream, […]
Colorado college students were secretly used to train facial recognition
[ad_1] The study, carried out in 2012 and 2013, was made to determine, in part, if algorithms could identify facial features from a long distance away, through obstacles and in poor light. A telephoto camera was set up at a distance of about 150 meters away from a public area with a lot of foot […]
Why Sony still dominates the full-frame camera market
[ad_1] Canon and Sony lack the incentive to add high-end video features to their mirrorless cameras, as that could cannibalize their professional video divisions. However, Nikon has no such constraint, so I was really hoping that it would try to outdo Sony with features like professional 10-bit 4K video recording. I also wanted to see […]
