Panasonic has announced that it has redesigned and replaced the previous Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH with a new Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-35mm f/2.8 ASPH POWER O.I.S. for the Lumix G Series Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Apple has released an iOS 16 software update that fixes a bug that caused the camera on some new iPhone 14 Pro models to shake and make an audible grinding noise when using third-party apps.
Some new iPhone 14 Pro users are reporting that the camera is shaking and making an audible grinding noise when using third-party camera apps.
Canon hasn't missed that the EF version of the 100mm f/2.8 macro lens has been popular as a portrait lens for some time and asked Kahran and Regis Bethencourt of CreativeSoul Photography to take the new RF model for a spin. Together, they show the insane image quality this new optic can deliver.
Oliver Wright, a professional macro photographer, shows how the Spherical Aberration Control Ring -- also known as the Bokeh Control Ring -- on the new RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM works in a 5.5-minute video published in conjunction with Canon Europe.
Canon has announced the RF100mm F2.8 L Macro IS USM, the "world's first medium telephoto macro lens" for mirrorless that is designed for a wide range of photographers and that offers a unique new feature: a Spherical Aberration (SA) Control Ring.
A recently unearthed patent purports to show, in detail, exactly how Canon plans to improve on sensor-based in-body image stabilization for its upcoming full-frame mirrorless cameras and DSLRs.
The best smartphone for photography—at least according to many reviewers—is suffering from a significant camera defect. Over the past few months, a large number of Google Pixel 3 owners have taken to the forums to report and document a "Camera Shaking" issue that is plaguing their smartphones.
We've known for several months now that Canon was working on IBIS for its full-frame mirrorless EOS-R system, but a recent patent and a new rumor indicates that this tech might make its way into Canon's DSLRs as well... and soon.
In addition to a new, lightweight 50mm lens for its medium format cameras, Fujifilm also announced a versatile new zoom lens for its X-Series mirrorless cameras. The new XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR is a stabilized zoom lens that is well suited for a wide range of styles and genres.
When it comes to optical image stabilization, it seems like nothing comes close to touching Olympus' OM-D E-M1 Mark II. As one photographer recently discovered, the 5-axis optical stabilization is so good, you can actually shoot the Milky Way hand-held with this monster.
When Google announced its Pixel smartphone last week and boasted about its "best smartphone camera ever," there was one notable thing it lacked compared to the iPhone: optical image stabilization. Instead of physically stabilizing shots, the Pixel uses readings from the phone's built-in gyroscope to compensate for shake.
It turns out the only thing standing between Olympus and even better image stabilization than the E-M1 Mark II's already insane 6.5 stops... is the rotation of the Earth.
Nothing is "confirmed" before the manufacturer says so, but a new Apple leak is being hailed as "confirmation" that Apple is going to put Optical Image Stabilization into the 4.7-inch iPhone 7, something the smaller iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s both lack.
HTC paid a lot of attention to the camera tech in the latest HTC 10, and it shows. Within just three days of its release, the smartphone has already claimed the top spot on the DxOMark Mobile rankings.
Ever wonder what 4.5 stops of optical image stabilization actually looks like? Now you can see it for yourself.
The iPhone has been touted as the world's most popular camera, but that world's most popular camera may be having some hardware issues. Several iPhone 6 Plus users are complaining through an Apple Discussion forum that their iPhone's camera is producing extremely shaky photos and videos... even when they stand completely still.
Typically, lens announcements go unnoticed unless the lens in question is some optically incredible, super-wide aperture prime lens. But if the idea of an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens leaves you thoroughly unexcited, we would beg you to read on, because Fuji's first attempt at a weather-resistant XF lens might just knock your socks off.
Unfortunately, what with major changes at the helm and making sure that we hit 2014 running, we weren't able to make it to Vegas for CES this year. And I say unfortunately because, not only does it mean we'll have to wait a minute to get hands on with some of the new releases, but it also meant missing cool demonstrations like the ones you see above.
Samsung seems to be hard at work making sure that smartphone camera quality continues to improve in leaps and bounds. In addition to debuting ISOCELL technology a couple of weeks ago, the company has now announced a new smartphone camera module that will offer twice the optical image stabilization of anything on the market, while also capturing better photos in low light.
Optical image stabilization is all about keeping the camera still even as the housing shakes or otherwise moves around. And when it comes to stabilization in nature, few creatures are as good at keeping their camera (read: head) perfectly still as the chicken.
So why not strap a camera onto a chicken's head and turn the guy (or gal) into a fowl-stabilized action cam!? Why, no reason at all!
