Canon PowerShot G15 Review

Canon PowerShot G15 Review

Updating the Canon PowerShot G12 released approximately two years ago, the Canon PowerShot G15 is a significant step up from its predecessor with an updated processor, new lens, higher quality LCD screen, lighter weight and expanded high definition video recording capabilities. Regarding similarities, the optical zoom remains somewhat similar at 5x (28-140 mm f/1.8-2.8). Just like the G12, the PowerShot G15 also shoots in RAW as well as 720p video. Canon has changed the processor from the DIGIC 4 system to the DIGIC 5 image processor and upgraded the CMOS image sensor from 10.1 megapixels to 12.1 megapixels. While G12 users will lose the variable-angle LCD screen, the size has been upgraded from 2.8 inched to 3.0 inches and the screen quality has significantly improved from 461k pixels to 922k pixels.

In addition, the ISO range has expanded from 80-3200 to 80-12800. Regarding high definition video recording, the Canon G15 can record in 1080p resolution at a speed of 24 frames per second. Also different from the G12, the G15 utilizes Canon's Intelligent IS system and the Smart Auto function has been upgraded from 28 scenes to 58 scenes. Finally, Canon now supports SDXC memory cards in the G15 and the model is more compact than the G12, both in size and weight...Continue Reading

Beware Counterfeit SanDisk Memory Cards - Here's What to Look For

The holidays mean business for retailers, but they also mean that things are incredibly busy and often disorganized. That's almost certainly the reason that Amazon recently sent out counterfeit SanDisk cards to one of their customers, and probably a few that didn't notice. Damien Douxchamps first became suspicious of the cards when he popped them in his camera to find that each had a different amount listed under "shots left" - something that he felt shouldn't happen with authentic cards. He then found that his new cards were slower than his old memory cards and he knew something was afoot. After comparing the packaging and the cards themselves, Douxchamps was able to determine that his cards were, in fact, fakes...Continue Reading

Leica has also released a limited edition book called "Ninety Nine Years Leica," which not only touches on moments that Leica cameras helped immortalize throughout the years, but also...Continue Reading

A collection of photos taken in the great indoors
For the November 2012 photo challenge, we asked our readers to photograph an interior space using only the light available. It's a tricky task to be sure, but the results are, as always, excellent. The entries ranged from complex modern museums to decrepit barns. Here are some of our favorites.

RAW Size

Q. Can you explain to me why the Canon EOS Rebel T2i’s 18-megapixel sensor produces a RAW file of approximately 24–26 megabytes?

A. Megapixels are commonly confused with megabytes. The megapixel count is simply the number of light-sensitive dots on the sensor. The RAW file includes the recorded light intensity from each pixel—each taking up several bytes—plus information on exposure, color balance, contrast, and so on. RAW file sizes are thus significantly larger than megapixel counts.

Fujifilm X-S1 Review

Fujifilm X-S1 Review

For 2012, FujiFilm has really brought out the 'big guns', as can be seen with the new X-S1. This model is a cross between their popular HS series of high-end super-zooms, and their newer X series of high-end dSLR-like cameras like the X100 and X10. The X-S1 brings a lot to the table, with exposure options to suit the needs of just about any level of photographer. From EXR Auto to full manual, the X-S1 has you covered. On top of this, the camera uses a larger (in consumer camera standards) 2/3", 12-megapixel EXR CMOS image sensor, which they promise will bring a high level of image quality with some help from the camera's FUJINON 26x optical zoom lens; which covers an impressive range of 24-624mm, with a maximum aperture range of f/2.8-5.6.

Other appealing features include a high resolution EVF, Fuji's all new "Intelligent 2x Digital zoom" (which doubles the X-S1's zoom capabilities with minimal sacrifices to resolution and image quality), true Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), up to 7fps burst mode shooting at full resolution (10fps at lower res), a heads up eye sensor for switching to the EVF, Full 1080p HD video at 30fps with stereo sound (h.265 format), RAW and JPEG image formats, and a Li-ion power source good for up to 500 shots on a single charge...Continue Reading

Don't be Fooled by the Facebook Copyright Hoax

Hoaxes and misinformation are a big part of Facebook, whether it's the repeated information about Mars passing close to earth in August - this happened in 2003 and has been reported on Facebook every year since - or one of the many "1,000,000 likes and my dad quits smoking" pages. The latest hoax has a bent towards photography. According to whoever started the post off initially, a new Facebook policy change will make it so that your photo copyrights will belong to the company, rather than to you. This is, of course, complete bunk. The message insists that you repost a specific piece of precedent - which doesn't even apply - and that this will somehow save your copyrights. The hoax even got so big that Facebook took time to speak out on it... Continue Reading
