[ad_1] The Osmo Pocket isn’t waterproof and lacks a built-in 3.5mm jack, so this won’t be your first pick if you’re recording a whitewater rafting expedition or just want pristine sound for the built-in camera’s footage. Its 140-minute claimed battery life is decidedly longer than the “hour or so” you get from an action camera […]

[ad_1] Fixed-lens compact cameras Why get a camera with a fixed lens when you could have a zoom that covers a wide range of focal lengths? The main reason is that lens (called a prime lens) has better optics than a zoom, so you’ll get sharper shots with minimal distortion. It also tends to be […]
Banjo AI surveillance is already monitoring traffic cams across Utah
[ad_1] Banjo relies on info scraped from social media, satellite imaging data and the real-time info from law enforcement. Banjo claims its “Live Time Intelligence” AI can identify crimes — everything from kidnappings to shootings and “opioid events” — as they happen.

How to buy a mirrorless camera lens in 2020
[ad_1] What are you shooting? Your camera likely came with a cheap kit lens, probably a zoom in the 24-70mm (35mm equivalent) range.

Samsung is already working to fix the Galaxy S20 cameras
[ad_1] Samsung didn’t say what the problems were, exactly, but the Galaxy S20 Ultra indeed has a very advanced camera with a 108-megapixel sensor. It also packs a phase-detect system that’s supposed to make autofocus (AF) quicker and more accurate. However, reviewers have found that it’s slow and in some cases inaccurate, yielding out-of-focus photos. […]
Fujifilm’s new flagship X-T4 camera has in-body stabilization
[ad_1] Another big change is a new mechanical shutter that Fujifilm calls “the fastest and most robust in the history of the X Series.” It’ll let you shoot bursts at up to 15 fps with the mechanical shutter with full autofocus and auto exposure (or 20 fps with the electronic shutter), while lasting for up […]
Fujifilm’s slimmer Instax Mini 11 features automatic exposure
[ad_1] For a start, it’s much slimmer than the Mini 9, which is obviously good news for those that want to get out and about with instant picture taking.

Meanwhile, Sony isn’t resting on its […]
Canon’s EOS Rebel T8i reaffirms its commitment to DSLRs
[ad_1] It still features 45 cross-type autofocus points for optical viewfinder shooting, but now supports face-detect autofocus in that mode. If you go to live view, you can shoot at 7.5 fps using Canon’s accurate Dual Pixel AF system. On the video side, it can handle 4K video at up to 24p, but only using […]
Canon’s powerhouse EOS R5 will be its first mirrorless camera with 8K video
[ad_1] All that will be possible thanks to a “newly developed CMOS sensor,” Canon said. That will also open up faster shooting speeds, letting you capture bursts at 12 fps with the mechanical shutter and 20 fps using the silent electronic shutter. That will “facilitate shooting of athletes at sporting events and other fast-moving subjects,” […]
