I’ve recently reviewed the Fuji X-Pro 1 followed by Sigma’s DP2 Merrill. Both cameras have innovative APSc sensors and incredible image quality.

Infographic | How Many Megapixels Does My Phone Really Need?

Over the last couple years, camera phone technology has taken huge leaps forward. Among the impressive improvements is low light performance, focus accuracy, and cool camera tricks like in-phone editing and in-phone time lapses. One of the most overrated of these improvements, however, is probably the megapixel hype. In the world of camera advertising, more megapixels has somehow evolved to mean better cameras, but that’s simply not the case in most situations.

Canon Develops A New High-Sensitivity 35mm 1080p Sensor For Video!

The pixels are 19 microns square, which is 7.5x times the size of a regular full-frame 35mm DSLR sensor such as in the Canon 1DX. That’s what you get when you design a full-frame sensor dedicated exclusively to 1080p video capture! Apparently, this thing can make the light of a full moon look like broad daylight.

OUTEX: Affordable Underwater Camera Housing

Growing up in Southern California near the beach I always thought ocean and surf photography was cool, interesting, and something I wanted to try. I remember specifically looking into underwater housings a few times on the internet and immediately being discouraged with how expensive and unobtainable they were on my small budget. Beyond the surf photography I began to see really cool concepts shooting in or under water from Chase Jarvis’ “Blue” to the more recent Benjamin Von Wong’s Underwater Realm Projects like these spark my creativity and make me wonder about the possibilities of being able to take my camera where most don’t but again the underwater housings haven’t become much cheaper since I first looked into them starting well over $1000.
