Canon EOS 1DX, The Shutter Sounds When Shooting Speed

noreply@blogger.com (Lai Thai Photo Blog) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:12:00 +0000

Direct Quote from oOblyTV's video description:

We got our hands on the Canon EOS-1D X at CES 2012. This is the flagship professional DSLR that Canon USA will launch next month, March 2012.
The EOS 1DX is an 18MP resolution camera built around a full-frame sensor that can shoot at up to 14 frames per second (12fps with AF). The video has a demo of this shooting speed!

The EOS-1D X features 3 DIGIC processors, including Dual DIGIC 5+ image processors that can deliver about 17 times more processing speed than DIGIC 4, and a dedicated DIGIC 4 for metering and AF control.

The EOS-1D X imaging sensor produces the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera to date, making it suitable for creating stunning portraits and other studio work like Jewellery, food photographs. The 18-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor uses large pixels -- 1.25 microns larger than in the EOS-1D Mark IV sensor and .55 microns larger than in the EOS 5D Mark II sensor -- allowing it to achieve enhanced light gathering efficiency, higher sensitivity and less noise at the pixel level.

The EOS-1D X also boasts a brand new 61-Point High Density Reticular AF, the most sophisticated DSLR AF system that Canon has ever gifted to the world. The Canon EOS-1D X features incredible new EOS iTR (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition) AF options that help a lot for covering wedding, general events, sports and even photojournalism.

Transformers Not Just Cars, But Also Cameras

noreply@blogger.com (Lai Thai Photo Blog) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:54:00 +0000

I found on Chinese website, so I used Google translate it directly with no edit the texts.

In recent years, computer graphics, sci-fi movie "Transformers" (the Transformer) is certainly one of the
world caught the attention of the works, this is actually a cartoon, with decades of history and model series, the Decepticons to the Mai Jiadeng (Megatron ') Optimus Prime Optimus Prime's Autobots struggle as the spindle. The figure is the movie called "Reflector camera role, consisting of three robots (left to right) for Spectro Instruments, Viewfinder and Spyglass, and the weapons they used were" Shutter Gun ","
Laser Lens "Optic Blaster", I really admire the creativity of the producer!

But unfortunately Reflector is the Decepticons side of it! (Or fortunately?)

Reflector This role is mainly to the role is reconnaissance and blackmail (!) And so on ...

Variant magic "has a long history, has experienced changes in a number of years, we can see different versions of the appearance.

There are a demonstration video of the toy kind.

Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS

noreply@blogger.com (Lai Thai Photo Blog) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 09:09:00 +0000

Directly Quote from the video uploaded on youtube:

Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by Ron Garan
fragileoasis.org/bloggernauts/Astro_Ron and the crew of expedition
28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October,
2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around
350 km with a high ISO HD Camera developed by NHK Japan,
nicknamed the SS-HDTV camera. All credit goes to them.
I intend to upload a FullHD-version presently.
HD, refurbished, smoothed, retimed, denoised, deflickered, cut, etc.
All in all I tried to keep the looks of the material as original as possible,
avoided adjusting the colors and the like, since in my opinion the original
footage itself already has an almost surreal and aestethical visual nature.
