It is just today that Mamiya introduced a new medium format camera, namely the Mamiya DM22. This is the latest release from the manufacturer that comes to provide an affordable medium format solution for the professional photographers that can't afford a full medium format system that until recently used to cost tenths of dollars. “For years, many professional photographers have been relegated to consumer-like DSLR systems, simply due to the high cost of recognized pro-level digital equipment,” says Mamiya Product Marketing Manager Mike Edwards.

Incorporated seems to have been very quiet about its products, since barely last night the rumor about the new EOS 1D Mark IV broke, as to be released officially today.This is supposedly the next level that the EOS 1D professional digital single reflex camera reached. I really like how the manufacturer says it too much, so I am also going to say that the 1D Mark IV is one high-speed multimedia performer with a 16-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, Dual DIGIC 4 image processors, as well as 14-bit A/D data conversio...

Back then, we were talking about the lack of 3D content for such advanced display systems, but it looks like the Japanese company has an answer to that question as well, since it has just announced the development of a single lens 3D camera technology capable of recording natural and smooth 3D images at 240fps (frames per second).As Sony explains (in a fairly techy language), “in existing half mirror 3D camera systems with separate lenses for the left and right eyes, the parallax range is adjustable, enabling the depth of the 3D images to be modified. However, when operating the ... [read more >>] Hello, fellow photographers, photo enthusiasts and DIY-ers. This following article is one addressed to the likes of you that are seriously into Astrophotography and it is a mod, which I am clearly stating from the beginning that I do not take any responsibility for any damage that any of you may do to your cameras. Mind that doing this will void your warranty, but should "technically" work for any Canon 300D or 350D. Actually, if I'm right, you have already taken your camera apart at least once, to take out the IR filter in front of the sensor. If I'm not, you should follow this neat tutorial, and please understand that I am just ...

"The a850 strengthens Sony's alpha DSLR line, which now offers models in each step from high-end professional down to the amateur enthusiast."Like I&rsqu...

Better luck next time. Nevertheless, Nikon offered a press release for its one-of-a-kind camera, a breakthrough, call it what you like. The maker calls it S1000pj and it is extending the ever lasting Coolpix series.It has a 1/1.23" type CCD sensor that outputs a total of 12.2 million pixels looking through a 28-140mm Nikkor lens. Minimum aperture is f/3.9 for the shortest focal length and goes to f/5.8 for the longest. Image stabilization uses lens-shift ... [read more >>] It would seem that Samsung is quite on a roll today. So, after reading about its new line of SyncMaster PC monitors and its ultra-compact, YouTube-oriented camcorder, the Korean company has also launched a new camcorder family, called the K-Series, which includes two HD-capable models, the SMX-K40 and SMX-K45.Both of the new models from Samsung can record videos at 720x480 pixels resolution, and then, via the built-in HDMI output, can play the respective videos at near Full-HD quality on the HDTVs they're connected to, partially thanks to the built-in upscaling technology.Furthermore, the two new camcorders from Samsung come packed wit...
