As cameras have rapidly evolved over the last decade, so have the requirements to get the most out of them. Specifically, what a photographer should care about when it comes to a computer has gone from simple, to somewhat complicated and often nuanced.
OnePlus has finally published details on what to expect from its partnership with Hasselblad in the upcoming OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone: 10-bit color, a new RAW+ mode, new movie mode, and a new 150-degree ultra-wide camera.
The iPhone has been the best smartphone for video capture for some time, and the iPhone 13 Pro is no different -- it's currently our pick in that category. So, naturally, adding ProRes 4:2:2 10-bit capability only makes that better, right?
The Dell U4021QW is, quite literally, one of a kind. It's the world's first 40-inch curved ultra-wide WUHD 5K2K monitor -- a 21:9 aspect ratio monster that boasts a color-accurate 10-bit panel. In our testing, it has performed beautifully. But while it's definitely the premiere ultra-wide monitor for photo editing, it's not the best photo editing monitor overall.
Kandao is going all-in on high-quality, VR-ready, 360-degree video with its newly-announced Obsidian Pro. The company is calling it the "world's-first cinematic 360-degree camera with 8 APS-C sensors" to offer 24 million pixels of high-resolution 12K capture.
Oppo isn’t following the herd with the new Find X3 Pro’s camera system. While most companies use different sensors for the main and ultrawide camera, Oppo has used the same sensor, resulting in it having two “primary” cameras. The result is consistency across your photographs, with both the main and ultrawide cameras delivering the same visual tone.
Oppo announced its flagship Find X3 Pro smartphone earlier this week and focused the attention on its two 50-megapixel 10-bit cameras and billion color curved display. Those are great, but its 3-megapixel "microlens" camera might be the real star of the show.
Oppo has released all the details of the Find X3 Pro smartphone it teased earlier this month, and it looks impressive. The new flagship smartphone features a quad-camera array with two 10-bit 50-megapixel cameras and a billion color QHD+ curved display.
Oppo has announced that it will soon launch the Find X3 Pro, the follow-up to its Find X2 Pro that it claims will be the first to offer a billion color display for a "true-to-life, evocative, rich visual experience."
A report by Digital Camera World earlier this week initially claimed that Canon was ditching JPEGs, replacing them with 10-bit HEIF files in the upcoming Canon 1D X Mark III, and possibly beyond. And while Canon eventually clarified that they are not getting rid of JEPG, the format may be (ought to be?) on its last legs.
In October 2015, Apple quietly unlocked 10-bit color in its release of the OS X El Capitan operating system update. 3rd party software didn't support the new color output, so it was limited to Apple's official Preview and Photos apps.
That changed this week: Adobe quietly expanded 10-bit (30-bit color RGB) support in Photoshop CC to OS X in the latest update, which also brought Custom Toolbars and a host of other features.
OS X El Capitan added some major features to the operating system when the update was released at the end of September 2015, but it appears that there was a pretty significant one that didn't receive as much fanfare: 10-bit color.
