Canon EOS Digital Rebel SL1 Review

Canon EOS Digital Rebel SL1 Review

In March of this year (2013), Canon announced the word's smallest and lightest DSLR with an APS-C sized image sensor, the EOS Digital Rebel SL1. Twenty five percent smaller and twenty eight percent lighter than the EOS Rebel T4i, the SL1 boasts many of the same features from the T4i (and the new T5i) save for slower speed capabilities and no vari-angle LCD display.

The SL1 compact DSLR includes an 18-megapixel APS-C sized image sensor, the DIGIC 5 image processor, an ISO range up to 6400, four frames-per-second continuous shooting, a 3.0-inch Touch Screen (fixed), and it works well with Canon's STM lenses (one comes in the standard kit) for virtually silent, continuous Auto or Manual Focus during Full 1080p HD video recording. For novices worried about making the jump from a point-and-shoot digicam to a DSLR, the SL1 offers Scene Intelligent Auto Mode, "an advanced function that detects faces, colors, brightness, movement, contrast, distance and other factors and automatically adjusts and selects the exposure method needed." Effect Shot Mode is another great feature, which adds a Creative Filter to stills, but captures two separate images (one stylized, one clean) to provide users with... Continue Reading

A Closer Look at the New iPhone 5S and 5C iSight Cameras

A Closer Look at the New iPhone 5S and 5C iSight Cameras

Apple [released] two new iPhones to replace its current generation model. The iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C [are currently] available in stores and online. Though it's a bit odd to write about phones here at Steve's Digicams, smarthones are quickly replacing the need for smaller point-and-shoot digicams.

So how do Apple's new iPhones compare to or improve upon previous models? Let's find out... Continue Reading

FujiFilm announces their most affordable X-series ILC yet; the X-A1

FujiFilm has just announced an all new compact ILC, which is the most affordable X-series interchange lens camera they've offered to date; the new X-A1. While the camera comes in a very affordable package, which includes the FUJINON XC16-50mm F/3.5-5.6 OIS zoom lens, the X-A1 is still packed with some appealing features and performance. Image and video capture is handled by an APS-C sized, 16.3-megapixel CMOS image sensor mated to their powerful EXR Processor II. Fuji claims that this combination not only affords high-quality photos and full 1080p HD video, but it also allows for dSLR-like performance, with fast start-up and shutter lag speeds, as well as continuous capture at up to 5.6fps; at full resolution, for up to 30 frames. Other note worthy features include a tilting 3.0-inch LCD screen, sensitivity settings from ISO 100 - 25,600, built-in Wi-Fi, and a host of advanced and creative exposure modes.

O is for Organize :

To figure out which memory cards are empty and which are full, create a system. Store cards right-side up and facing out if they are empty. Flip them upside down if they are partly full, and upside down and backwards when they’re spent.

N is for Newborn::

Too young to smile or hold up their heads, newborns are a challenge to photograph. Here are some strategies. Make babies comfortable: Be sure they are fed, but wait about half an hour for postprandial gassiness to subside. Most newborns (until about 14 days old) will sleep through anything, so you’ll have much more freedom to position one than you will an older baby. Get blankets and fabrics with great textures, and place the baby in and on whatever you can find—baskets, mixing bowls, cushions. Turn up the heat (as warm as 85 degrees): Make sure the baby is toasty so you can get the all-important bare shots. Bonus tip: If baby gets the hiccups, grab a camera. Shoot in burst mode—if you catch the right moment, a hiccup can look like a smile.
