Olympus TG-1 is a 12-megapixel armour-coated beast of a camera
Keen on a super-rugged camera? Olympus has the TG-1, a life-proof point-and-shoot with the body of King Leonidas and the brains of Mickey Rourke. All this for US$400. The little nipper is pictured above. Anyway, the TG-1 is the XZ-1, only with a super hardcore shell. Remember the XZ-1? Here it is: What this boils down to is a passable 12-megapixel sensor, 4x zoom, 1080p video recording and a f/2.0 lens. But of course, it's rugged. So that means waterproof to 12 ... -
Samsung NX200 — rolling with the big boys [Review]
In an ever-evolving digital age where everything seems to get smaller, it just makes sense that manufacturers of cameras would be right there in the thick of it. Thing is, they have to miniaturise the equipment at the same time as trying to maintain the quality of modern DSLR cameras. Over the past few years this led to the development of a whole new breed of cameras, called compact system cameras, or CSC’s as they are referred to in photographic ... -
Ubi-Camera: Turn your hands into the viewfinder
The Ubi-Camera is new, but it seems familiar the moment you see it. The ad hoc viewfinder is a throwback to the classic pose you’ve seen film directors strike to frame shots and it also bears semblance to the work done by Pranav Mistry on the Sixth Sense project.
The prototype device by researchers at Japan's Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences is an experiment in designing a miniature camera without skimping on the viewfinder. There’s no LCD, instead, you ... -
Check out these jaw-dropping photos from Nokia’s 808 PureView
Nokia’s 808 PureView camera phone with its 41-megapixel sensor blew people away at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona yesterday. It combines Nokia’s highest performing Carl Zeiss optics with Nokia’s new pixel oversampling technology to deliver jaw-dropping photos.
What makes the PureView technology really special, is that the 41MP sensor isn’t used to deliver billboard sized pictures, instead it creates pictures of normal, manageable sizes with amazing picture quality.
The 41MP sensor uses an oversampling technique to combine seven pixels into one “pure” ... -
Olympus Tough TG-810 — Can a camera make you rugged?
I walked into the editorial office a few days ago, just after a fresh gadget delivery. "Here," said one of my colleagues, "We've got something for you to review". His gym-calloused hands tossed it my way, just missing the bearded man mountain of a writer who sits between us. It was a camera. With the word "tough" in its name.
Now let’s just get one thing clear, I cry at the end of Gladiator, and Lord of the Rings: Return of ... -
The Gobii 12MP camera turns you into an ‘almost pro’
A little while ago I sat with the Gobii 12MP camera box on my desk, about to open it and thinking to myself how cleverly named and packaged it was. On opening the box, I found all the usual contents neatly packaged: the camera itself, a fake suede camera bag, strap, Li-ion battery, battery charger, Kingston 4GB SDHC card and a USB cable to connect it to your computer. Above all, a neat and fairly comprehensive manual is included, as ... -
New Nikon Coolpix P310 aims to take on Canon PowerShot S100
Nikon announced the 16.1MP COOLPIX P310 today -- 1 February 2012 -- which is the successor to the P300. The Canon PowerShot S95 and more recently the S100 are the benchmarks for pocket-size, high quality cameras offering extensive manual control, but the P310 is a very compelling option priced a full $100 cheaper than the S100.
Similar to the P300, the P310 has an ISO of up to 3200 and a lens that offers the same fast maximum aperture of f/1.8. ... -
Sony releases holy trinity of new CyberShots
Sony has unveiled three new CyberShots. The TX200V, WX70, and the WX50.
Price-wise, the TX200V is the dearest at US$500. The WX70 and WX50 cost US$200 and US$230 respectively.
The TX200V is priced close to a high-end smartphone for a simple reason. It looks exactly like a high-end smartphone. Somehow, Sony has made the TX200V mirror the iPhone as much as legally possible.
The TX200V
The TX200V cuts the cord on clutter. The camera is hugged by flat glass on both sides of the ... -
Fujifilm: X-Pro1 available in Japan on February 18th
The hotly anticipated retro-style, mirrorless X-Pro1 camera from Fujifilm is making its debut on the 18th of February in Japan.
According to The Verge, pricing looks set to be around $705 50,000 yen (about $1,929) for the body alone, and then 54 800 yen (about $705) for the 18mm f/2 or 35mm f/1.4 lens, or 59,800 yen (about $770) for the 60mm f/2 macro.
The X-Pro1 is Fujifilm’s response to the unprecedented success of the FinePix X100, which despite its flaws, seemed ... -
Review: Gobii HD Action Cam – at least it’s not expensive
When we first pulled the Gobii HD Action Camera from its box, there was a lot of mirth in the Gearburn office. Mocking, unfriendly derision. And then we played with it for a while, and even the flinty hearts of Gearburn melted a little. It’s a weird shape, and the plastic feels cracktastic, but it is quite functional and IP68 sealed: no dust, complete, immersion in water. How deep? No idea, they don’t say.
The outright urge to Burn it faded ...
