May 8, 2014 Breaking news from America's top photo magazines How To: Create Dramatic Light Painting Photos Apply light in broad strikes to showcase your subjects The popular technique called painting with light treats your camera’s film or sensor as a blank, black canvas on which you “paint” in your subject by applying light something like the way artists apply paint to a white canvas. “One of the wonderful things about light painting,” says Harold Ross, who “painted” this idyllic scene, “is that it can transform the mundane into something greater.” SEE MORE >> Tested: Fujifilm X-T1 Fujifilm’s X-T1 is the first camera to allow the use of UHS-II memory cards.

Sony a7R, Samsung S4, iPhone 5C, and HTC One Reviews

View email in your browser Sony a7R Review Adding an entirely new level to the ILC (interchangeable lens camera) market, Sony has introduced one of the first, smallest and lightest Full-Frame ILC's on the market today. Both the a7 and a7R are made up of most of the same components built into the same housing. These camera's both feature a Full-Frame image sensor, with the a7 having a 24.3-Megapixel CMOS and the a7R sporting a 36.4-Megapixel CMOS. Along with the slightly different sensors, there are two different AF systems as well. The 24.3-Megapixel sensor allowed Sony to include Phase Detection pixels into the sensor (which is the same as the sensor in the a99), where the sensor on the a7R does not. They both also feature the same incredibly high resolution ½-inch XGA OLED electronic viewfinder and 3-inch tiltable LCD screen. All this and so much more have been crammed into camera bodies that are not much larger than one of their NEX models, making them not only incredibly powerful but incredibly easy to carry as well. The big difference between the a7 and a7R are the two image sensors featured in the cameras. The 36.4-Megapixel sensor of the a7R not only features a higher resolution than the a7's sensor, but the lack of an optical low pass filter allows the light to reach the sensor uninhibited. This helps to improve the overall image quality by increasing the amount of detail the camera captures as well as boosting its low-light performance. The higher resolution does take away the option of the built-in phase-detection that you will find on the a7's sensor. The phase-detection gives the a7 the advantage with a faster AF, minus the resolution. Along with their different, but outstanding EXMOR image sensors, both camera's also feature...

Continue Reading Samsung announces the GALAXY K zoom Samsung has just unveiled an all new zoom powered smartphone; the GALAXY K zoom. Like the GALAXY S4 Zoom we tested last fall, the K zoom is not your typical smartphone with a digital camera attached. It boasts a 10x optical zoom lens stuffed into its sleek body, which offers their proven OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) technology. This lens is mated to a 20.7-megapixel BSI image sensor, which bests the S4 Zoom's sensor by just over 4-megapixels. It also appears to be a much slimmer handset, making it more pocket-friendly; one of the downfalls of the S4 Zoom. To learn more...

This all-in-one lens is designed for use with DX-format (APS-C) Nikon D-series cameras, and offers an ideal focal range for those who want one lens to cover a wide range of subjects. With an equivalent focal range of 27 - 450mm, this lens will work well for a wide variety of shooting, whether you're looking to capture landscapes, portraits, or get close to the action at your child's sporting events. The inclusion of their proven VR (Vibration Reduction) optical image stabilization helps reduce the likelihood of blurry photos caused by camera or hand shake when using the telephoto end of the lens. Nikon claims...
