Most of the attention surrounding the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR camera is centered around the 21 megapixel full frame 24×36mm CMOS sensor that the camera is built around. But cameras are quickly moving into new territory, with convergence being a term more and more discussed, specifically the merging of a still camera [...]

This is a 100% crop from a Canon 5D Mark II (courtesy and full credit to this guy) at ISO 6400. It isn’t perfectly focused, but noise management is looking pretty good. In other words given the Nikon D700 and now the Canon 5D Mark II, I have to revise my previous ISO [...]

On the Canon 5D Mark II Vincent blogs:
I’ve had a chance to get a hold of the 5D MKII on several occasions - seven to be specific (2 of those nights were spent shooting the first film, Reverie.)   I’ve felt compelled to try to create something [...]

In further proof that I may not be crazy, DPReview takes on the Powershot G10 today and in their conclusions makes some sound points. Sound, in that they mostly agree with my continual take on the G10, which is, how good would the G10 be had they gone with a sensor with less megapixels. Why [...]

The most distinguishing one is the 15.1 megapixel sensor which uses gapless microlenses over each pixel to reduce noise and boost low light sensitivity all the way up to ISO 12800. Combined with the newest incarnation [...]

Camera Labs’ Gordon Laing Video Review for the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS.

{ 0 comments }

The fully featured Canon PowerShot SX10 IS packs a lot into its rotund casing. Flip out LCD, movie mode with stereo sound, a 20x zoom, a reasonable 10 megapixels, and DIGIC IV processing. It’s recently been featured in a number of reviews:
The Canon SX10 IS then proves to be a solid and reliable option for [...]
