 |  Nikon D5200 dSLR Review  In early January of this year, Nikon announced a new entry-level dSLR model at CES 2013, the D5200. Aimed at photographers looking to make the jump from point-and-shoot cameras, the D5200 offers an affordable option where users will find all the performance and manual image controls in high quality dSLRs, alongside the convenience and built-in artistic flourishes of many point-and-shoot or smart phone camera systems. First, lets talk performance. The D5200 features a 24.1-megapixel DX-format (APS-C sized) CMOS image sensor mated to the EXPEED 3 image processor, which means terrific speed and noise free images in low light situations (even up to an ISO of 6400). The D5200's new 39-point Auto Focus system accurately tracks images through the frame for crisp still images in action oriented shots like sporting events, or continuous focus while shooting Full 1080p HD video at 30 (progressive) or 60 (interlaced) frames per second. For those less comfortable with interchangeable lens camera systems, don't worry, Nikon's got you covered. Enter the Scene Recognition System, which instantly analyzes exposure, Auto Focus, and white balance settings to perfect color balance and sharpness. If you're a big fan of built-in camera effects, like those found on smart phone apps or an increasing number of point-and-shoot digicams, the D5200 has a few of these as well, designed to work on both stills and HD movie recording...

Amazing Android Photos to Inspire Photographers Okay, okay, don't get too mad. We still adore our dSLR cameras and it'll be years (or most likely never) before a smartphone can compete with current-model professional cameras thanks to vast differences in image sensor sizes as well as available quality glass (read: lenses)... But there are times when you don't want to lug around the entire kit, times when you weren't even planning to snap a few photos. However, as shutterbugs, many of us feel an innate desire to tell visual stories and capture beautiful imagery. There are times when an image presents itself and all you have is a phone in your pocket. To inspire loyal Android smartphone owners, Mashable assembled a list of...

Our reviewer thought the N's graphical user interface was a bit clunky and cumbersome, but appreciated the camera's features as well as its simple, sleek design. Looking to improve the N, Canon has announced an updated version of the camera, dubbed the PowerShot N Facebook Ready. The new N Facebook carries over the original N's 12MP HS CMOS image sensor, DIGIC 5 image processor, 8x optical zoom, 2.8-inch tilt / touch LCD display, Full 1080p HD Video, ISO up to 6400 and, of course, built-in WiFi. So what's new? The N's Facebook Connect Button, after an initial setup process, connects users directly to their Facebook account in a way that's much more akin to the Facebook mobile app found on many iOS and Android smartphones. Not only can you...

Built around the idea of being portable, yet fast, the NEX-5T boasts some appealing features. These include built-in Wi-Fi with NFC technology (a first for the NEX line-up), a powerful 16-megapixel Exmor APS-C HD CMOS image sensor, a tilting 3.0-inch display, and their new Fast Hybrid AF system that was first seen in the NEX-5R from last year. This system lends to the NEX-5T's speed with 99 phase-detection AF points. The camera also sports a continuous capture rate of up to 10fps in Speed Priority mode. All of this is packed into a body that's just 1.2-inches thick; sounds like one sweet little pocket-rocket to us. For more details... Continue Reading | |
