FujiFilm FinePix X100 High-Grade Compact Digital Camera Announced; Features Hybrid Viewfinder

2010-09-24T19:06:00.000+05:30

FUJIFILM has announced the new FujiFilm FinePix X100 High-Grade Compact Digital Camera that features an APS-C CMOS sensor, a Fujinon 23mm fixed focal length lens and a newly developed Hybrid Viewfinder, due for commercial release in early 2011.

The FujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera is aimed at the professional photographer or keen enthusiast looking for exceptional quality pictures from a compact camera and is designed to appeal to the millions of DSLR users who need a slim back-up camera for high quality in-fill shots when the use of a bigger SLR system is either inconvenient or impractical.

Fujifilm claims that having closely studied the current line-up of professional cameras, company feels that there is a strong need for a compact high-quality (APS-C based) camera as a counterpoint to an SLR.

The FujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera features the highest quality possible lens and sensor combination, built from the ground-up. The lens chosen is a fixed, prime F2 lens, made by Fujinon, manufactured to perfectly match the APS-C custom sensor. Added to this is the newly-developed EXR Processor, which combines all the latest image processing technology Fujifilm has technology built up over the years.

The FujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera offers a number of technical developments that will set this camera apart from other contenders. The main technologies employed in this camera are as follows:

Hybrid Viewfinder (New Development)

The Hybrid Viewfinder on the ujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera combines the window-type “bright frame” optical viewfinder found in high-end film cameras such as 35mm or medium-format cameras, and the electronic viewfinder system incorporated in fixed single lens or mirrorless digital cameras.

By using integrating a prism for the 1,440,000 dot LCD panel image on the viewing screen in the reverse-Galilean optical finder, the Hybrid Viewfinder can show both the shooting frame and a variety of shooting data.

The LCD screen can also be used as a high-quality electronic viewfinder to compose or playback shots. With this ability to instantly switch between optical and electronic viewfinder images with simple “one touch” control.

The new Hybrid Viewfinder offers users expanded freedom in the composition and enjoyment of photography in a range of challenging shooting conditions.

Specifications for the Hybrid Viewfinder:

The reverse Galilean optical finder with a 0.5x magnification features all-glass elements made from high-refractive index glass and demonstrates low chromatic aberration and distortion.
In optical viewfinder mode, the brightness of both the “bright frame” and text data is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of scene area, ensuring that shooting information is always easily and clearly viewable.
Displayed shooting data is constantly updated according to changes in shutter speed, exposure, sensitivity and other settings.
In electronic viewfinder mode, the photographer can preview the picture or playback the result with the “through the sensor” image review. Available with one-touch switching ease, this capability enables the user to preview and confirm exposure settings, depth-of-field effects, white balance, and macro shots

12.3 Megapixel APS-C CMOS Digital Sensor

The FujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera features a custom CMOS high-performance sensor, internally optimized and developed exclusively for this model.

Optimization of the angle-of-incidence in conjunction with the specially developed lens maximizes light gathering efficiency extending to the perimeter of the sensor for a sharper image with exceptional clarity.

When shooting HD movies, the combination of the large-sized sensor and the large aperture F2 lens, lets users shoot a soft out-of-focus touch (bokeh) – a capability not available in conventional compact cameras.

23mm F2 FUJINON (Aspherical) Lens

The newly-developed 23mm FUJINON lens offers a focal length of 23mm (135 equivalent: 35mm) and a widest aperture of F2. Made from molded glass, the lens contains 8 elements in 6 groups.

The adoption of the non-collapsible lens structure with minimized lens length not only contributes to the compact size but also eliminates telescoping of the lens when the power is on
Exploiting the merits of fixed focal length lens, this lens delivers sharp resolution of the total image from the center to the corners. In addition, the lens features not only the large F2 aperture value, but also an optical architecture that maintains a high degree of resolution even when closed by 1 to 2 stops.

The 23mm FUJINON lens lens uses a 9-blade aperture diaphragm. A large F2 aperture and high-quality optics let users take beautiful photos with a soft out-of-focus (bokeh) effect. Besides, the lens enables macro shooting as close as 10 cm.

EXR Processor (New Development)

When combined with the high-performance lens and high-sensitivity sensor, the newly developed FujiFilm EXR Processor achieves the highest definition, sensitivity and wide dynamic range image quality of any digital camera produced by Fujifilm.

The graphical interface including style and rendering of the LCD information has been upgraded in the newly developed LSI to enhance the user experience and to improve the clarity of the information presented.

Overall Design

Claimed to have been inspired by the beauty and form of classic cameras from the past, the FujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera combines all the latest technical digital innovations in a beautiful, traditional chassis which oozes class and prestige.

The camera controls have been carefully thought out to give the photographer simple and speedy access to aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc, to allow maximum creative expression with minimum hassle. Custom modes can also be used for a one-touch change in settings.

The upper control deck/bottom surface has been cast from magnesium alloy (semi-solid metal casting) to contribute to a high-precision camera body with high rigidity.

All dials on the upper control deck of FujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera are fabricated from metal. Adoption of traditional ’manual‘ dials lets the user confirm the position of the settings without turning on the power.

The chassis of FujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera has been finished with high-quality leather accents and is a delight to use and a pleasure to hold.

Price and Availability

The FujiFilm FinePix X100 digital camera is expected to be commercially available sometime early 2011, though Fuji has not revealed its price in any market.

Panasonic Unveils DMG-GH2 Lumix DSLM Digital Camera With Full 1080p HD Movie Recording Capability

2010-09-24T18:46:00.000+05:30

Panasonic today announced the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera, a hybrid touch-control camera featuring full High Definition (HD) video recording and compatibility with the world’s first interchangeable 3D lens.

The new LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera is company’s revolutionary new addition to LUMIX G Series of Digital Single Lens Micro (DSLM) cameras that deliver professional-level features and performance in a compact and easy-to-use camera body.

Compatible with the Micro Four Thirds System standard, the lightweight LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera is newly designed with an easy-to-hold grip and includes a refined image processing engine and sensor that delivers fast, sharp photos, full HD video recording, and the ability to take 3D photos with Panasonic’s new interchangeable 3D lens.

The LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera combines features for both the videographer and photographer, making it a true hybrid digital camera. A dedicated button on the top of the camera lets users instantly record videos while shooting photos without changing any extra settings.

Building on its successful predecessor, the Panasonic LUMIX GH1, the new LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera can now record full HD 1920 x 1080 videos in smooth 60i, doubling the sensor output from 25p/24p to 50p/60p. The camera also supports 1080/24p native mode at 24 Mbps, the highest in AVCHD format, for richly expressive video.

Other video features in the LUMIX GH2 include:

New Cinema mode: Record video with rich cinema-like gradation. Added as an option of popular Film mode.
New Variable Movie mode: Record video in variable frame rate – 80, 160, 200 and 300 percent – speeding up or slowing frames for more creative videos.
Touh auto focus (AF): Point at the subject on the screen and shift focus to make it stand out against the background.
Still photos at (16:9): Instantly take a 14MP photo, while recording videos and also save a frame of video as a photo during playback.

The new LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera includes a new 16.05-megapixel multi-aspect LIVE MOS sensor that delivers higher image resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio. The LIVE MOS sensor also allows high speed burst shooting at 5 frames per second in full resolution using a mechanical shutter.

The new Venus Engine FHD processor in combination with the Live MOS sensor manages multiple signals at a high speed, making it possible to record high resolution consecutive shots and full HD video recording.

The LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera also features intuitive touch-control operation, made popular with the LUMIX G2 for its outstanding usability in shooting and playback and combines the easy-to-see free-angle Intelligent LCD with the newly developed Multi Aspect Wide Screen LVF (Live View Finder) for more comfortable shooting from any angle.

The LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera is equipped with a large 3.0-inch 460,000-dot high-resolution Intelligent LCD allows users to:

Touch the subject on the LCD to adjust AF. Once a user locks onto a subject, the camera tracks the subject with AF tracking even if it moves. Then, with a touch of the screen, users can select the area of focus appropriate mode (e.g., portrait) and even enlarge an image (1x, 5x or 10x) by dragging it on the screen.
Touch and view the screen from any angle, rotating the screen 180° side to side and tilting it 270° up and down for approximately 100 percent of field of view.
Change menu settings quickly by touching the screen, shortcutting the time it would take to navigate using standard cursors.

Panasonic’s new compact 3D lens for the LUMIX G Micro System features two optical systems installed within the diameter of the lens mount, creating stereo images from the left and right lenses that are then processed with a 3D image processing system.

Panasonic has today introduced three new interchangeable lenses for its LUMIX G Series of cameras, viz. LUMIX G 14mm / F2.5 ASPH (H-H014) and LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. (H-FS100300) and the world’s first interchangeable 3D lens, the H-FT012.

The lenses, all based on the Micro Four Thirds System standard, are compact while featuring high optical performance and are compatible with Panasonic’s LUMIX DSLMicro cameras, such as the newly-announced Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH2 DSLM Camera.

H-FT012 interchangeable 3D lens

The new H-FT012 interchangeable 3D lens LUMIX G 12.5mm / F12 lens features two optical systems installed within the diameter of the lens mount, creating stereo images from the left and right lenses that are then processed with a 3D image processing system. Panasonic’s advanced technologies in optical technology, image processing systems, and lens barrel design, allow the 3D lens to be compact.

Previously, 3D shooting with an interchangeable lens system camera was possible only by using panorama systems or by combining two lenses and two CCDs. However, these systems are not ideal and have difficulty capturing moving objects.

Panasonic’s new 3D-capable interchangeable lens allows instant 3D shooting (35 mm camera equivalent: 65 mm), without time lag between left and right images – even when shooting objects in motion. As part of Panasonic’s 3D ecosystem of 3D-capable VIERA televisions and Blu-ray 3D Disc Players, the 3D images taken with this lens – even close-up shots – are easily viewed on Panasonic’s 3D VIERA televisions.

LUMIX G 14 mm / F2.5 ASPH Lens

Panasonic LUMIX G 14 mm / F2.5 ASPH is the world’s lightest interchangeable single focal length lens that features a 14mm (35 mm camera equivalent: 28 mm) wide angle and F2.5 brightness with sharp, high contrast image rendering.

The compact Panasonic LUMIX G 14mm lens takes advantage of a wide viewing angle and deep depth of field for excellent shooting performance in a variety of situations, from landscapes to snapshots to indoor shooting.

The LUMIX G 14 mm lens system combines six lenses in five groups, including three aspherical lenses, for a finished product that is compact with an overall length of 20.5mm.

LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. Lens

The new handheld telephoto zoom lens LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. can photograph ultra-telephoto zoom shots at 300mm (35 mm camera equivalent: 600 mm), but is light enough to carry easily for everyday distance shooting, like sporting events.

Because of its compact size, photographers can achieve a high compression effect in distance photography without any need for a heavy tripod. Panasonic’s MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) suppresses blur by compensating for hand shaking that can severely affect zoom shots.

The telephoto zoom lens LUNIX G VARIO 100-300 mm combines 17 elements in 12 groups including an ED lens. By incorporating the ED lens in the first lens group, the chromatic aberration is suppressed to render sharp, high contrast images with stable optical performance over the entire zoom range.

The new LUMIX G 14mm / F2.5 ASPH (H-H014) and LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. (H-FS100300) each include seven blades to give the aperture a rounded shape. This rounded aperture produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. A strong metal mount is durable for heavy use, and multi-coated lens elements minimize ghosts and flare.

“Panasonic’s delivery of the world’s first interchangeable 3D lens speaks to our commitment to leading the 3D era,’” said Darin Pepple, Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. “Consumers can now enjoy shooting high-quality photos in 3D with this compact lens, from landscapes to people, while watching them back later on their 3D-capable VIERA televisions at home.”

Price and Availability

The new Panasonic LUMIX lenses will be available in November 2010 in US market followed by worldwide availability in early nest year. The LUMIX G 12.5mm / F12 (H-FT012) has suggested retail price of $249.95 or about Rs. 11,390 and LUMIX G 14mm / F2.5 ASPH (H-H014) lens for $399.95 or about Rs. 18,225 while LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. (H-FS100300) lens would be available for $599.95 or about Rs. 27,336. For more information on Panasonic LUMIX digital cameras, lenses and accessories, please visit: www.panasonic.com/lumix.

Apple iPhone 4 CDMA Version Coming On January 2011

2010-09-24T14:08:00.000+05:30

Offlate a new buzz is going around regarding the launch of the CDMA version of Apple iphone 4.All Apple fans who were unable to take the advantage of using GSM version due to various reasons seems to be very glad of this news. Since the Cupertino-based company is more probably very close to the official release of CDMA iPhone 4, that is on January 2011, so Apple will order millions of units of Qualcomm CDMA chipsets due in December 2010.

According to our reporters Apple has already submitted a significant number of Qualcomm CDMA chipsets. But we are not sure that Verizon will remain as the sole operator to carry the first CDMA iPhone. Another name has been emerged to sell CDMA iPhone 4 device in U.S market beside Verizon Wireless, and that is of Sprint.
Furthermore, Apple had signed a five-year contract with AT&T for the exclusive distribution rights in US, which will be ending this year. Therefore we can expect a change for its GSM version too.

The new CDMA iPhone is more likely to come with the same features as the present iPhone 4. But what we are more eager to know whether the upcoming version will be delivered without the antenna problems or not. Let us hope for the best.

Download MySpace Mobile Application For iPhone & Android

2010-09-24T14:04:00.001+05:30

MySpace has recently developed a wonderful application which is compatible with iPhones. This application retains most of the features that a user gets in its web version. Using this application one can access his MySpacethis account from the iPhone device, and that also at free of cost. Twitter and Facebook are also coming up with the similar kind of services together, but MySpace being a major social networking site still remains far ahead

Here you will get some tips while using MySpace in iPhone.

MySpace recollects all previous information when you access this iPhone application through your MySpace account. It allows the user to cancel the automatic registration process that one needs to initiate the session. This option is displayed at the very top right corner of the screen of regular MySpace interface. Thus you can go back to the regular session on the panel where all your records are left blank.

MySpace mobile app can be downloaded into android based phones as well. The latest version of MySpace Mobile 1.8 application is available here.

Verizon iPhone 4 Coming Next Year

2010-09-24T14:02:00.000+05:30

This week Apple organized a special event in San Francisco on 1st September. Thousands of iPhone fans were expecting that the Cupertino-based firm would certainly make announcement on the release date of iPhone on Verizon during the event. But unfortunately Apple CEO Steve Jobs just remained silent on this issue. Perhaps Apple has no plan to release the handset this year. Speculation is it may be available in the market in early 2011, that means next year.

Experts say this delay may be due to the reception problem of iPhone 4 which went on sale from 24th June. Since this problem hasn’t been solved yet, therefore Apple’s decision to postpone the launch of its upcoming iPhone 4 on Verizon seems justified. Similarly there was no mention regarding the white iPhone 4 which is expected to be released at the end of this year.

As per the industry news Verizon is doing quite good business selling Android-powered devices. So, at present they are in no hurry to start with iPhone on its network.

Samsung Fascinate all set to release officially on September 9

2010-09-24T13:59:00.000+05:30

Now the waiting time is over. Samsung has finally announced the official release date of its product Samsung Fascinate and that is on September 9th. Marketing companies like Best Buy have started taking pre-orders of Samsung Fascinate from late August and customers have been making continuous enquiries on the official release date. But the marketing people had no answer since the company was not announcing the official release date of the product.

Samsung Fascinate is basically the Verizon’s rendition of Galaxy S, which is quite popular. It is also set to join the already existing and available Captivate (from AT&T) and Vibrant (T-Mobile). It will be available through the largest 3G provider of the nation and Fascinate will be the first to deliver Bing apps which include the Maps and the search.

The Fascinate does not have anything new to make it distinct from the GS family, but it is expected to have Verizon exclusives like NFL Mobile application and service from one of the best networks in the country.

Speculations Running rife Regarding Apple’s September1 Event

2010-09-24T13:56:00.000+05:30

Now it is the time for Apple to make the most anticipated announcements regarding its release of white iPhone 4 alongwith the launch of Verizon iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G that the consumers are keenly waiting for.

White iPhone 4

Apple is very much aware of the fact that people are eagerly looking for its upcoming white iPhone 4 and it is assured that millions of units of the gadget will be sold out within the release but the company seems to be still reluctant to disclose white iPhone 4 for some unknown reasons. There is a rumor buzzing around that they are delaying its launch due some issues with its colors and light seepage which are still under review.

Verizon iPhone

For quite some time we are also hearing about the news that Verizon iPhone 4 will be soon launched in US market. Few weeks ago there was news reporting Apple and Verizon are being prepared to release the device on January 2011. Though both companies kept silence on its current development. Let’s hope that we will hear some new updates from Apple regarding the release of Verizon iPhone 4 in the September event.

iPod Touch 4

Experts are giving hope that Apple will surely reveal a new iPod in the September event. By tradition it has been observed that Apple always had chosen the September event to launch new iPod devices and it is to be expected that this time it will carry on with the same practice as well.
