Canon EOS 1300D Entry-Level DSLR Launched Starting Rs. 29995

Canon India yesterday launched the EOS 1300D, an entry-level DSLR priced at an accessible level, to help beginners and photo hobbyists discover greater possibilities in photography. Equipped with an 18.0 megapixel CMOS sensor and ISO speed expandable up to 12,800, the new EOS 1300D is reportedly capable of capturing high quality images and Full HD movies and easily share them on the go through its connectivity features. According to media reports, built-in Wi-Fi and NFC support are also included in the EOS 1300D as an all-inclusive package to address the needs of ever increasing social media savvy users.

Mr. Andrew Koh, Vice President of Consumer Imaging and Information Centre, Canon India said, “Photography as a hobby and sporting a DSLR camera is quite the rage in India presently. So is social media, and everybody wants to share their images online with their friends immediately. With this a precursor, we are thrilled to launch the EOS 1300D – a DSLR camera with inbuilt Wi-Fi & NFC. The EOS 1300D creates great looking images and allows instantaneously sharing them as well – thus meeting the requirements of first time users, social media junkies and hobbyists alike.”

According to the company, the EOS 1300D facilitates image transfer to smart devices through the Canon Camera Connect app (via Wi-Fi), or a tap between the camera and the compatible smart device to establish a connection for file transfer (via Near Field Communication, NFC).

Through the Camera Connect app, users will be able to shoot remotely. Upon connecting the EOS 1300D with a smart device, users can adjust camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO speed, and then capture the shot on their smart device. Reportedly, the EOS 1300D comes with five creative filters to deliver different creative expressions – soft focus, grainy black and white, toy camera effect, fish-eye effect, and miniature effect. Apart from filters, strength level, colour tones and focal points are also customisable for some of the filters.

For users accustomed to using cameras on smart devices and are beginning their foray into DSLR photography, the EOS 1300D is said to provide new avenues to explore on their photography journey. Powered by a DIGIC 4+ dedicated image processor and an 18.0 megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor (approximately 25 times larger than a standard smartphone), the EOS 1300D is said to render higher resolution images with lesser noise, even under low-light conditions.

The EOS 1300D is also said to come with a high performance optical viewfinder, which enables faster framing and higher focusing precision, essential factors to capturing fleeting moments. The optical viewfinder also reportedly, provides a more accurate representation of what the camera sensor sees, for a better idea of the final image. With an enhanced 920,000-dot LCD monitor, Canon hopes the users will find it easier to check on the focus during Live View shooting.

The EOS 1300D is equipped with a 9-point Auto-focusing system that aims to allow fast and accurate auto-focusing on the subject. The camera’s AI Servo AF constantly tracks and focuses on moving subjects such as pets and children, even as the subject moves towards or away from the camera. With this AF system, every moment will be captured in picture-perfect clarity.

The company also stated that as a part of Canon’s range of DSLR cameras, the EOS 1300D will provide full access to Canon’s extensive range of EF/EF-S lenses to suit a variety of occasions. Canon’s EF/EF-S lenses range from macro lenses for extreme close-up details, telephoto lenses to shoot long-distance subjects like animals in a zoo, and ultra-wide-angle lenses to capture dramatic landscapes or small enclosed environments. Over 70 lenses in Canon’s EF/EF-S range can be used with the EOS 1300D to achieve the optimum composition.

Exclusive hands-on with a prototype of the new Canon flagship, EOS-1D X Mark II

We are barely a month into the new year, and Canon has announced the new EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR camera. The new flagship camera has a 20.2 megapixel 35mm Full Frame Canon CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 6+ Image Processors. The camera can capture images at up to 14 frames per second, and HD video up-to-4K 60P, with Canon’s proprietary Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus (AF) technology. We had an exclusive chance to get our hands on a prototype of the latest canon flagship, and here’s the lowdown.

At first look, the camera seems to have quite a similar body-layout to its predecessor the Canon 1DX. The camera feels strong in hand with its rugged and weather resistant construction, and there are subtle grip changes that Canon has done to improve the hold. While the camera features continuous shooting speeds of up-to-14 frames per second (fps) with Auto Exposure (AE) and predictive AF for viewfinder shooting and up to 16 fps in Live View mode. Its Dual DIGIC 6+ Image Processors are said to help in transferring image data at high speed for extended bursts during continuous shooting of up-to-170 consecutive RAW images at 14 fps. The camera can shoot 4K 60P and Full HD 120P video with Dual Pixel CMOS AF.

Canon informed that the camera has a Digital Lens Optimizer to help correct aberrations in-camera, and this previously required post-processing on an external computer. The camera’s has an improved 61-point viewfinder AF with expanded coverage and all AF-points selectable and supported to a maximum aperture of f/8. There is a central area expansion of approximately 8.6% vertical and peripheral area expansion of approximately 24% vertical.

There are other changes like continuous red illumination of all AF points within the camera’s Intelligent Viewfinder II, and compatibility with both CF and CFast memory cards for better performance with faster transfer rates and buffer speeds.

Canon informed that the camera will cost around Rs. 4.5lac body only, and will be available to buy by April 2016.

Sony finalizes buyout of Toshiba’s sensor business

After a series of negotiations, Sony has announced buying Toshiba’s image sensor division. It will be operated by Sony’s recently announced independent image sensor division. The parties also are planning to make arrangements to offer the employees of Toshiba and its affiliates, employed at the manufacturing facilities to be transferred, as well as those involved in areas such as CMOS image sensor engineering and design (approximately 1,100 employees in total), employment within the Sony Group, upon the completion of the transfer.

Image sensors are important to Sony. This acquisition will enable Sony to increase its production capabilities in the area of CMOS image sensors, where further market growth is anticipated. According to reports, 40% of the new image sensors in the smartphone market were manufactured by Sony. The recent acquisition will definitely be an added advantage to Sony. Toshiba aims to execute legally binding definitive agreements by the end of calendar year 2015. Thereafter, Toshiba and Sony aim to complete the transfer within the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, subject to any required regulatory approvals.

Reuters issues a worldwide ban on RAW photos Adds a new spin to the on-going processing debate

In an unprecedented move, one of the largest news agencies in the world changed their policy on shooting and supplying RAW to them. Reuters announced that it has implemented a new worldwide policy for freelance photographers which bans them from sending photos that are processed from RAW files. Ideally it means that photographers/contributors/freelancers will now only send photos that have been originally saved to their

cameras as JPEGs.

According to Petapixel the announcement was made to freelance photographers this week via this short email from a Reuters pictures editor and a Reuters spokesperson has confirmed this policy change. The decision

comes in line increase both ethics and speed. Does this also put an end to long on-going debate of whether photo-journalistic pictures shouldn’t be processed? For a while now there are always discussions on the topics of post-processing of pictures. While many seem to agree that most genres can do finishing, photo-journalism shouldn’t be privy to these applications. The spokes person added that “As photojournalists working for the world’s largest

international multimedia news provider, Reuters Pictures photographers work in line with our Photographer’s Handbook and the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles,” Reuters says. “As eyewitness accounts of events covered by dedicated and responsible journalists, Reuters Pictures must reflect reality. While we aim for photography of the highest aesthetic quality, our goal is not to artistically interpret the news,” Reuters added. Restricting photographers to original JPEGs will also reduce the time it takes for photos to go from camera to client, Reuters says. “Speed is also very important to us. We have therefore asked our photographers to skip labour and time consuming processes to get our pictures to our clients faster.” RAW photos do allow for a greater degree of post-processing flexibility, so based on the new policy, it appears that Reuters found that photos processed from RAWs are more likely

to distort the truth.

Bhutan Photo Campaign: Win holiday trips to the Kingdom of Bhutan

A small Kingdom in the Himalayas called Bhutan has inspired many around the world by placing the happiness of its people ahead of economic wealth. This is the principal idea behind Gross National Happiness (GNH), Bhutan’s development philosophy which the King refers as ‘development with values’. His Majesty adds that GNH is the ‘national conscience guiding us towards making wise decisions for a better future’.

Taking pride in the idea of HAPPINESS, the tourism industry of Bhutan promotes Bhutan with the tagline “Happiness is a place”. This is to simply assure that happiness can be found in simple things and these simple things can be found anywhere and in anything.

In an effort to allow everyone from across the globe to share what HAPPINESS means to him or her, the Tourism Council of Bhutan has introduced the Bhutan Photo Campaign. The Bhutan Photo campaign is a simple way of sharing what HAPPINESS means to everyone with photographs on www.HappinessIsaPlace.com.

The campaign is dedicated to the selfless Kings of Bhutan for introducing and promoting the Philosophy of GNH. The Honourable Prime Minister of Bhutan, His Excellency Tshering Tobgay launched the Bhutan Photo Campaign on 30th July2015.

To promote the campaign, attractive prizes will be given away for the photographs with highest LIKES and SHARES from the campaign page. The campaign will end in December 2015.

Canon 760D Review

The canon 760D was first launched in February 2015. An entry level DSLR, it features an APS-C sensor and forgoes some of the flashier elements similar to the 5Dc. As quoted by Canon in their release, “The EOS 760D is the first entrylevel EOS camera to incorporate a top LCD panel, in addition to the main display”. We got hold of a body with an 18-135mm lens for a review, let’s see how it performed.

Look body feel

The Canon EOS 760D is comparatively almost identical to the EOS 750D. It has the same 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, the same DIGIC 6 processor and the same AF system that provides hybrid focussing whether you’re using live view or the viewfinder as the EOS 750D. Although compared to the Canon EOS 700D, a few important improvements have been made across the board. Focus points have been upped form 9 to 19 and we get the DIGIC6 processor rather than DIGIC 5 for faster shooting and processing. An additional add-on is that Wi-Fi and NFC are included, unlike the 700D. There’s no need to buy pricey Wi-Fi adapter or wireless memory card anymore. It provides a sophisticated top LCD panel which displays important information such as ISO speed, exposure level and battery life. Much alike higher-ends cameras, operating the menus and settings in the EOS 760D is achieved through Quick Control Dial and Main Electronic Dial – an advanced method that allows users to adjust their settings and search for images with maximum convenience and minimal effort. The mode dial of the camera is pretty much the same; however the position of it allowed Canon to fit in an LCD display on the right part of the top plate, something which is generally a feature of a high-end pro DSLR. It lets you read exposure settings without activating the rear screen or looking through the viewfinder. The grip however is much more comfortable than the previous to carry. Mounted on a 50mm the camera bodyweight hardly feels anything. the pairing of an amazing sensor and the DIGIC 6 processor allows the user a standard sensitivity range of ISO 100 to12,800 equivalents which performs well in low-light conditions. For the price and the range the ISO performance is better than other equivalents in the market. The touch screen on the LCD also has good touch capability and calibration.

Performance

The Canon 760D uses 19-point, all cross-type autofocus sensor that’s inherited from the EOS 70D. It replaces the earlier 9-point, all cross-type phase detection autofocus sensor of the 750D,more than doubling the total number of points. The camera gives a Mac video resolution of 1920 x 1080. Together, the pairing of an amazing sensor and the DIGIC 6 processor allows the user a standard sensitivity range of ISO 100 to12,800 equivalents which performs well in low-light conditions. For the price and the range the ISO performance is better than other equivalents in the market. The touch screen on the LCD also has good touch capability and calibration.

ISO

The Canon EOS 760D offers you a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-12,800 with an expansion setting of ISO 25,600 for stills. It’s also possible for the cameras to set sensitivity automatically within the range ISO 100-6400.The native range for movies is ISO 100-6400with an expansion setting of ISO 12,800. The camera gives no or low noise at the higher ISO, and the noise control works well through the range. For more on how the camera performed check out the ISO chart.

Conclusion

Overall, this camera provides more than enough to the ones who want to go beyond the auto mode and explore. It’s fun and easy to use. The top LCD and Quick Mode Dial both make it worth the money you are paying for it. However, if you are looking for something basic and never going to switch out of your program mode than this might not be it.

Look, body and feel rating – 4 *

Light camera body, with touch screen and the all-new function button placement makes this camera very easy to use.

Performance rating – 4 *

With the new sensor and the functionality, the camera performance is as good as any semi-professional, entry-level full frame camera.

Overall rating – 4 *

It’s lighter in weight, like all the APS-C bodies from Canon. The performance and looks are close to any present entry-level full frames, which make this worth the buy for its cost.

Nikon P900 Review

Launched recently in the optical zoom range market, the P900 has an 83x ratio equating to 24-2000mmin 35mm terms. Nikon claims this allows you to see things not visible to the human eye – such as details on the surface of the moon. There’s also a digital zoom, which boosts that reach to 166x, or 4000mm. A major issue with long zooms is image blur at the longest end of the zoom range, as the effects of camera shake are exaggerated. Nikon’s solution is to include its latest Dual Detect Optical VR system, which it claims offers a 5-stop shutter speed advantage. We thought that it would be a great idea to put these things to test and see how the P900 performed.

Look Body and Feel

The P900 like the other previous bridge models features the same 1/2.3-inch, 16million-pixel sensor. That’s the same size sensor as in many compact cameras – and, despite appearances, we feel that reason the P900 is classed as a compact camera is because of the lens being fixed and not the camera size. The P900 features a good quality plastic body. The camera has a large rubberised grip, with a large thumb grip on the rear of the camera as well. The left-hand side also features a rubber grip.

You can easily hold the camera with your hands thanks to the apt size and weight of the camera. The majority of options are available on the menu button; the camera body, like a DSLR, has less buttons on the body which makes it easy to hold and use.

You can set the exposure compensation, focus mode, self-timer and flash options with the scroll wheel on the back, or customise the Function (fn) button to give access to other options such as the ISO setting, or drive move. There is a snapback zoom button on the left of the lens barrel, and the side zoom control can be used to change the zoom, or can be set to manual focus. The electronic viewfinder (EVF) is a decent size, bigger than some other compact cameras, but not as large as those found on mirrorless cameras. The front of the lens has a 67mm filter thread, which makes it possible to attach filters, although unfortunately the camera doesn’t come with a lens hood, or shade, and there aren’t any options to buy one on the website itself. The interface menus are clearly laid out, with options spread over five main screens, including a shooting menu, movie options, Wi-Fi options, location data options, and setup options. The screen is not a touch-screen; however, it does have good viewing angles, and shows a good resolution with clear results.

Performance

When it comes to producing rich and vibrant colours straight from the camera; the P900 does not disappoint you. The standard setting that the camera provides is apt for most of the shooting conditions and the vivid option in the camera helps you boost saturation although, if it’s not used with care, it can lead to slightly cyan skies in landscapes for an example. The Monochrome mode in the camera works apt but as there’s no way to revert to a full colour image if you change your mind later since there’s no camera RAW option; you need to be sure you want a black and white image before using it. You can also change the look of your images more dramatically by using the Effects mode, where you’ll find filter effects such as Cross Process and High-Contrast monochrome amongst all. Images taken at the longest optical zoom display a good amount of detail, and for those occasions when you need even more reach, shots taken using the digital zoom are also usable at small prints – but the 83x optical zoom offers such a high magnification that you may never need the digital zoom because the optical zoom covers it all. The P900 also performs well at shorter focal lengths. At normal focal lengths the images are pretty sharp and vibrant in colours. If you zoom in on the higher focal length images you’ll realise that the images are soft on the edges. It’s also worth pointing out that it’s only at the very widest focal length can you use the maximum f/2.8 aperture setting: as soon as you zoom a little, the maximum available aperture decreases to 4-5.6.Not all the aspects of the P900’s operations are as fast – for instance, the playback can take a second or two to respond, leaving you wondering if it’s working at all. On the plus side, making your way through menus is generally quicksand intuitive.

Conclusion

Clearly the big selling point of the P900 is its 83x zoom. It’s currently the market leader in this respect, but how long it retains that distinction remains to be seen. The downside of having such a huge optical zoom is that the camera needs to be large. The P900 is pretty much the same size as a DSLR with a kit lens attached. Although it’s great to have the option full manual control, and a range of exposure modes, it seems a little remiss of Nikon to not include raw format shooting – it’s something which appeals to enthusiasts.

Look, body and feel rating – 3 1/2 *

If you’re after a camera with a huge zoom range you can’t get bigger than this, for now at least. Images taken in good light look great, with vibrant colours. Having the option of full manual control is also helpful.

Performance rating – 4 *

It could be a small audience, but those looking for an ultra-zoom bridge camera should find the P900 very capable, especially if they don’t mind only being able to shoot JPEGs. The P900 is inexpensive purchase, but the price is likely to come down, and it has the longest zoom range of any camera currently on the market.

Fujifilm XT-1 Review

Fujifilm’s latest addition to its popular mirrorless cameras, the Fujifi lm XT-1 is aimed at professional photographers who like to carry light and still get striking photographs. With this launch, Fujifilm looks to strengthen its X-series of cameras which include the X-E2, X-M1 etc. The camera features 16 megapixel 23.6mm x 15.6mm (APS-C) X-Trans CMOS II sensor and boasts of fast focussing. Let’s see how it performs.

Look, Body and Feel

At first glance, the Fujifilm XT-1 looks strikingly similar to older analogue SLR cameras but then the eyes instantly go to the big 3-inch LCD screen at the back and the big circular electronic viewfinder. The traditional X-E2 design has been modified and perfected and looks nothing like its predecessor now. The 2.6M dots OLED electronic viewfinder is large and crystal clear. When you have your eye to the viewfinder it feels like an LCD in itself. It has three large circular dials at the top of the camera body which controls the ISO, shutter speed and exposure control from left to right respectively. The design is sleek and the weather resistant body looks well built. There are a lot of buttons spread throughout the tiny body of the camera which is to provide easy access to the user without having to look at the LCD too many times. The3:2 tilting LCD is also a good touch, and the joints feel strong and quite sturdy. The view mode button that was replaced in the X-E2 has been added back again in this model, and you can switch on the viewfinder proximity sensor with the touch of a button. The camera is compact and packs a lot of physical features in terms of buttons, dials and switches. The grip is also quite good due to the leather finish on top of the magnesium alloy body but the small size of the camera might pose a problem to some.

Performance

The Fujifilm XT-1 was tested with the standard Fujinon 18-55 2.8-4 lens for our review. The camera performed excellently and the images were sharp, the colours were crisp and overall gave excellent quality images. The autofocus performed quite well, as promised by Fujifilm as we used it to take photographs of static objects with moving foreground and background objects. The 16 megapixel APS-C “X-TransCMOS II” sensor delivers to its reputation and the camera has seen considerable improvements in terms of faster autofocus compared to other mirrorless cameras from Fuji. The exposure dial came in handy to selectively expose a part of the frame and the results were quite good. The Fujifilm XT-1 also produced some vibrant colours. The camera which reportedly boasts of having the “world’s fastest AF of 0.08 seconds” also has a staggering burst mode of 8 fps with subject tracking features. As already stated this camera is all about buttons and dials, which Fujifilm has taken to new heights. There are six programmable buttons on the camera and the user can change the settings according to their needs.

The ISO performance of the camera is also quite good. It handles low-light very well till ISO 3200. Artifacts and grains start to appear from ISO 6400 but the photograph still remains sharp and quite usable. They start showing extreme grains at ISO 12800, which is the H1 or High1ISO. H1 and H2 should be avoided as much as possible and should only be used if extremely necessary when using this camera. A welcome feature that comes in handy for most modern photographers these days is the video capability of a camera. The camera allows the user to shoot full HD videos and HD videos at both 30 and60 fps. The videos recorded in the FujiXT-1 were crisp and the focussing was amazingly smooth. Another feature that Fujifilm has been constantly providing with its upper end mirrorless cameras is the Wi-Fi connectivity. This feature allows the user to instantaneously share JPEG images from the camera to different locations and social media sites over the Wi-Fi. One important thing missing from the camera is a built-in flash, which comes in handy in many situations. But Fujifilm has aptly added a small lightweight external flash as an accessory which has a guide number of eight meters at ISO 100. The flash attaches directly to the hot shoe. Another accessory that is compatible with this camera is an external battery pack, which is a very good feature to have during long shoots and is a welcome change to the mirrorless camera.

Conclusion

If you are looking to buy a high-end mirrorless camera not just for still photography but also for video recording this camera is highly recommended. Priced at around `119000 with fast and smooth focussing, a large tilt-swivel LCD, 2.36M doodled electronic viewfinder,8fps continuous shooting and good ISO performance this is a documentary photographer’s dream. Fujinon lenses another accessories from Fuji for this camera are trustworthy and have a very good built quality. Even though the number of buttons and dials in the camera and the small size can be problem for few, the Fuji XT-1is a good purchase for its price.

Look, body and feel rating – 3*

Beautifully designed, but too many dials can be confusing to some.

Amazing colour output, fast focussing, good video quality.

Performance rating – 5*

Amazing colour output, fast focussing, good video quality.
