[ad_1] Sony A7R IV Most of Sony’s models this year, including the A6600, A9 Mark II and A6400, were iterative refreshes. Not the A7R IV, though! Sony blew our minds by unveiling a 61-megapixel camera that can shoot at up to 10 fps. Not only is this the highest-resolution full-frame camera available, it has a […]

The Pixel 3a was a turning point for affordable smartphones
[ad_1] When he reviewed it earlier this year, Chris Velazco wrote of Google and the 3a that “none of the compromises it made in producing this cheap Pixel actually feel like compromises.” You could buy a great budget phone before the Pixel 3a, but more affordable devices used to mean some kind of compromise. Take […]
Sony can’t build smartphone camera sensors fast enough
[ad_1] The largest manufacturer of these sensors is Sony, which controls over 50 percent of the market by revenue and supplies all of the camera sensors found in modern iPhones. This means, for example, that the company sells four 12-megapixel sensors for each iPhone 11 Pro that Apple makes. For the second year running, Sony […]

Months of reporting from Fuji Rumors has given us a fairly complete picture of the purported […]

DJI patent imagines a drone that can’t fly
[ad_1] Unlike Freefly, the DJI vehicle seems to include its own camera and stabilizer, much like the Mavic and other drones. At the same time, the suspension seems to have a lot of travel that would allow it to operate smoothly on relatively rough terrain. That would no doubt make it simple to operate and […]
GoPro’s first Hero 8 Black ‘mod’ is a light for vloggers
[ad_1] The first to make it out the gate is not the Media Mod (which I am particularly eager to try). Instead, it’s the $50 Light Mod. It might not be quite as exciting as the Media Mod with its built-in shotgun mic, or the LCD Display Mod, but it does give us a (well-illuminated) […]
Google explains the science behind the Pixel 4’s Portrait Mode
[ad_1] The new Portrait Mode for Pixel 4 leverages dual cameras and the dual-pixel auto-focus system to improve depth estimation, allowing users to take professional-looking shallow depth of field images both close-up and at a distance.

[ad_1] Nikon announced the upgrade all the way back at CES 2019, so it’s taken nearly a year to deliver it. By recording RAW to the Atomos Ninja V, you’ll get a lot more flexibility for color grading than with any other option. “As RAW video is not subjected to in-camera processing, all information that […]
