I think Pergear likes my reviews! Here I am, reviewing an “action camera,” which is the opposite of my habits. But, I review gear and share my honest opinion with all the information in the open.
Alongside Pergear's new 1TB CFexpress Type-A card, the discount photography company has also launched something altogether different, an $80 50-megapixel waterproof action camera.
Samsung's new ViewFinity S9 is a 5K resolution, color-accurate, 27-inch monitor that is designed with graphic designers and photographers in mind and will be available in August for $1,599.99.
A drone operator captured awe-inspiring footage of the Matterhorn summit filmed in glorious 5K.
Samsung has announced the ViewFinity S9, a new 27-inch 5K display that it says is optimized for creative professionals, namely graphic designers and photographers. It is now, perhaps, the most viable alternative to Apple's Studio Display.
Canon has announced a new 19-megapixel, full-frame, global-shutter sensor that it says is ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects without distortion.
The DJI FPV was the first to bring first-person view (FPV) drones to the masses as a great entry-level, all-in-one package. GoPro seems to be targeting more serious drone pilots with the Hero10 Black Bones, its no-compromises 5K FPV camera.
DJI has published a firmware update for the Mavic 3 that fully unlocks all of the drone's capabilities and lets it do everything the company promised it could when it was launched last year.
DJI has announced the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine drones that feature two main cameras. The first features a 4/3-sized, 20-megapixel sensor behind a 24mm adjustable aperture prime lens, and the second is a 28x hybrid zoom camera, effectively combining the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom, but with upgraded hardware.
Every year like clockwork, GoPro introduces a new action camera with varying degrees of improvement upon the last. This year we have the HERO10 Black, the company’s second push into 5.3K video recording following the HERO9, but is there enough here to warrant buying the latest and greatest?
DJI is labeling the newly announced $999 Air 2S its “all in one” drone. When something is claimed to do it all, I always wonder where the sacrifices are being made.
Remember the powerful 5K LG monitor that Apple announced alongside their MacBook Pros? It's been marketed as the perfect companion for Apple's newest pro-level laptops, but users are reporting a major issue with the new monitor: it doesn't work near WiFi routers.
Apple's new MacBook Pros feature a retina display Apple is calling their "best ever." 67% brighter with a 67% higher contrast ratio and 25% more colors, it's no slouch. But if you want the ultimate display experience for your new MacBook Pro you'll have to buy... an LG monitor?
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.
Apple today announced its latest version of the iMac all-in-one desktop computer -- one that some serious specs for photographers. It features what the company is calling "the world's highest resolution display". It's a Retina 5K display measuring 5120x2880 pixels. That's 14.7 million pixels packed into a 27-inch screen.
High-end video camera manufacturers are continuing to engineer innovative products that may one day change the way photographers take photographs, particularly in portrait, fashion and glamour circles.
It’s a challenging and tough sell, and not without a few obvious problems.
Canon's new flagship DSLR, the 1D X, can shoot 18.1-megapixel JPEG photographs at a staggering 14 frames per second in burst mode. This is nearly at the 16 frames per second needed to hide jerkiness from the human eye -- the flicker fusion threshold for moving images. Though the frame rate falls short of the 24fps used for Hollywood movies and by many video cameras, 18.1 megapixels per frame translates to 5K resolution in video lingo, while the video feature of the 1D X only shoots at 1080p (~2 megapixels per frame).
Gizmodo's Michael Hession realized that the camera's burst mode could still be used to produce reasonably smooth video. The clip above shows Hession's experiments with using the 1D X as a relatively cheap 5K video camera. 2,000 separate JPEG stills went into creating the two-minute-long video.
