Post the output of these compact cameras, which use the same sensor size APS-C X3, as in the thoroughly cheapened SLR SD1 , according to the head of the company, allowed progress in the production of sensors. Improvements in technology have greatly increased the yield rate of production and bring the price of the SD1 to a level that the company had planned originally.

Recall, the recommended retail price of the camera manufacturer has been reduced from $ 9700 to $ 3300. A pleasant surprise for those who put off buying and unpleasant for those who bought recently SD1. By the way, companies are going to take into account the interests of fans of the brand and to compensate for part of the cost to those who bought the camera just before the price reduction on it. Details of the compensation scheme must be published before the end of the month.

However, the cameras - cameras, but the company is known in Sigma as a major supplier of interchangeable lenses. In this area, its interests are focused on the production of models for mirrorless camera systems Micro 4/3 and Sony NEX. Although the specific models and their technical data are too early, CEO, confirmed that the Sigma will follow the same strategy as the market of interchangeable lenses for SLR cameras. This means that the first thing the company will try to fill the niche left by the main producers - in this case, companies, Olympus, Panasonic and Sony.

high zoom digital camera

Digital camera buying guide. What we need to look at.

What should I start with?

Buying a digital camera is a good idea - you save your memories. At the same time this task can be a bit complicated. There are hundreds of cameras available at many different types of retail outlets (online and in traditional stores), with prices ranging from $75 to several thousand dollars. Some cameras are small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. Others are large and can weigh up to two pounds. Some are easy to use. Others look like you need an engineering degree to operate them. And almost all are advertised with abbreviations that can be cryptic and confusing for the novice. In this digital camera guide, we aim to help you overcome some of this confusion.

So what is a digital camera?

The first step is to understand what a digital camera is. With a film camera, an image is formed by collecting light from a particular scene or subject and focusing on film, which reacts chemically when struck by light and is said to "capture" the image. What makes a camera "digital" is that, instead of film, it has an image sensor that reacts to light by sending out electrical signals.

The camera takes the information from the image sensor and processes and stores it as a collection of pixels in a digital file, usually on a memory card inside the camera. Although the actual process is more complex than that, in essence it is how a digital photo image is made. It's essentially made up of thousands and thousands of tiny dots, or pixels.

high zoom digital camera

high zoom digital camera

  1. What are megapixels?

When you collect a million pixels, you have a megapixel. The number of megapixels tells you how many pixels the image file has. A camera that captures 8 million pixels, for example, is called an 8-megapixel camera. The number of megapixels a camera features can also help to determine the size photos you can print or the amount of cropping you can do. For example, a 6-megapixel camera may be enough for snapshots, but if you want to print poster-size images or crop heavily, 8 megapixels (or greater) is more suitable.

A 6-megapixel camera might be all you'll need because higher resolution doesn't necessarily produce better prints. Lenses and other factors affect quality too. But most cameras today have at least 10-megapixel sensors. The size of the sensor, and the size of each individual image sensor element, which corresponds to pixels, can affect photo quality. But remember, the number of megapixels alone doesn't determine the quality of a digital camera's images.

Types of digital cameras

Our Ratings are divided into two main categories: Basic cameras, are simple point-and-shoots with just the features needed for routine shots, and advanced cameras, which are feature-laden cameras that include sophisticated point-and-shoot and models that let you change lenses. Note that all point-and-shoots, whether basic or advanced, include cameras with lenses built into the camera (that is, non-removable).

Our basic camera category is divided into three subcategories: subcompacts, compacts and superzooms.

Subcompacts fit in a pocket, are lightweight but generally have few manual controls. A few include nontelescoping zoom lenses, and others have zooms as high as 14x. Compacts are a bit larger, and often have more manual controls than subcompacts. They can also be among the most inexpensive cameras available.

Beware the sales pitch

You can't always depend on sales staff to help you to choose the right camera. Readers indicate that the quality of in-store help is all over the map. Indeed, when our reporter shopped at mass merchandisers, as many consumers do, a member of the sales staff told him that there was no difference between digital and optical zoom (optical is far more useful). Another couldn't explain the differences among mechanical, optical, and simulated image stabilization (optical and mechanical are superior).

Also, despite the prevalence of 10-, 12-, and 14-megapixel cameras, 6 megapixels is all the resolution most people need. If you often crop or drastically enlarge your images, get at least 8 megapixels. Higher resolution doesn't necessarily produce better prints, so don't let a saleswoman push a camera solely based on its megapixel count.
Shop by brand

Before diving into specific models, consider some characteristics by brand, culled from our years of digital-camera tests. For example, Fujifilm offers image sensors with proprietary technology that produce high image quality at high ISO settings. Kodak emphasizes simplicity and ease of use. Canon, Nikon, and Olympus offer full lineups for every type of user. Casio specializes in ultra-slim models. Samsung offers cameras with high styling and multimedia features. Panasonic uses image stabilizers and Leica lenses throughout its line. Sony often uses Zeiss lenses, a brand well known in the camera world.
Try it out

The smallest, lightest models aren't necessarily inexpensive cameras. And the biggest and heaviest aren't necessarily found at the high end. If possible, try cameras at a store before you buy. That way, you'll know which one fits your hands best. In our tests, some of the smallest didn't leave much room even for small fingers.
Keep your other cameras in mind

If you own a film camera with interchangeable lenses, you can often use the lenses on digital SLRs of the same brand. But there are exceptions. For example, some new Nikon bodies only operate autofocus on its AF-S or AF-I lenses.
Forgo the extended warranty

Overall, digital cameras have been among the most reliable products in our subscriber surveys. About 4 percent of those bought from 2006 through 2010 have been repaired or had a serious problem. Yet in our latest survey, 60 percent of camera buyers were pitched an extended warranty in stores, and 16 percent of those bought one. We don't think it pays for most consumers.

Olympus OM-1

Olympus is going to release again OM cameras series.

According to reports in the Japanese press, Olympus is going to breathe new life into the once-popular series of cameras OM, using this designation for its new mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses. The premiere model OM-D is scheduled for spring, says a source.

Olympus OM-1

Olympus OM-1

Externally, the new film will remind camera Olympus OM-1, which was released in 1973 and has earned wide popularity due to its reliability and small size. In the future, the company continued to produce series products OM for nearly 30 years.

The new model, which will be the flagship mirrorless cameras Olympus, will receive the image sensor resolution of 16 MP, fast autofocus system and image stabilizer. The camera will be available in the U.S., Europe and Asia at a price of about 100000 yen ($ 1,300).

An indirect confirmation of rumors about the release of a new camera was the ad for the British press, the text of which was allocated freestanding letter O and M. The revival of the series will help the company recover from a recent scandal involving financial fraud.

Testing Apple iPhone 4S

October 13 Apple began selling the new iPhone 4S. As always, already familiar in the form of attributes of the queue in front of Apple stores and television coverage of the first lucky ones who are the holders of the coveted "apple" smartphone. October 10, Apple has reported that the number of pre-orders for iPhone 4S for the first night exceeded one million (the iPhone 4, the figure was 600 thousand). And it was a clear indication that the purchasing loyalty to Apple is that the public is willing to forgive even the transfer of the expected announcement of the iPhone 5 and instead buy an improved version of last year's news. But how usovershestvovannuyu? Today we have an opportunity to look into this in detail.

iphone 4s

iphone 4s

For a start - look at the specifications.

iPhone 4 iPhone 4S
Screen (size in inches, type of matrix) / resolution pixels 3,5 ", IPS / 960 × 640 3,5 ", IPS / 960 × 640
System on a chip (SoC) / number and speed of processor cores Apple A4 / 1 core 1 GHz Apple A5 / 2 cores at 1GHz
RAM 512 MB 512 MB
Operating system iOS 4 (a free upgrade to iOS 5) iOS 5 + intelligent assistant Siri

The rear camera 5 megapixel (photo) / 720p (video) 8 MP (pictured) / 1080p (video)
Weight (g) 140 140

Speaking about the new features in iPhone 4S, Apple a little disingenuous, adding to them the possibility of iOS 5. Slyness, we believe that, for the reason that iOS 5 is free to put on the iPhone 4, and even on 3GS, as well as on the last two generations of iPod touch. In the near future, we will prepare a separate article, which describe in detail about the new features iOS 5. Now we just focus on the unique features of iPhone 4S and its differences from the previous model .

Equipment, design and screen

iPhone 4S comes in a box, almost identical in appearance package with the iPhone 4. The fact that this is a new model that shows only the letter S in a silver box (on the left and right sides of the box) and the icon at the bottom iCloud (front) side.

Inside the box, all the familiar and predictable: headset, cable for PC connection, battery charger (note that if you buy iPhone abroad or in the "gray" of suppliers, you have to buy an adapter for the plug). Two booklets, located in a white envelope, containing a minimum of information and useful unless the newcomers, but the metal clip is useful for the SIM-card. As in last year's model, it uses MicroSIM.

As for the appearance of the iPhone, then he compared with the previous year has remained virtually unchanged. Is that a bit has changed the location of some elements on the side of the metal edging (for example, mute button now to a few millimeters below). But it shows more about changing the location of the phone antenna, which was announced at the presentation.

Like the iPhone 4, the new model is available in white and black colors.

IPhone 4S Box

For people who like to show others the latest gadgets, the disappointment is the fact that the new iPhone is nowhere stated that this model is 4S, instead of 4. Therefore, you would not tell a person with iPhone 4S in the hands of the owner of the iPhone 4.

IPhone 4S Box

The screen also remained unchanged. However, why change when competitors for the year could not oppose anything the iPhone 4 in this parameter? The number of dots per inch (328) remains inaccessible to other manufacturers, and, moreover, IPS-matrix (or something similar in color reproduction and viewing angles) can also be found far from everywhere. However, in fairness, we note that at the instance of iPhone 4S, which was on our test, the screen was a little lighter than the iPhone 4. But first, it can be seen only in a direct comparison, and secondly, it may be simply due to the fact that the screens of different parties. Not be ruled out that if we took another iPhone 4, there would have been too light a screen.

Performance

Another widely publicized feature of the new iPhone - performance. Apple has equipped the new smart SoC Apple A5, which, unlike the A4, a dual-core. Thus, if the iPhone 4 in performance approximately equivalent to the first iPad, iPhone 4S then got to the iPad 2. Let's check in practice, how significant growth has turned out!

In comparison, will participate iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and last year's iPod touch. All three devices were running iOS 5.0. At the same time, by the way, check to see how critical the smaller the amount of RAM in the iPod touch. As a benchmark we used the following applications from the App Store: 3D Benchmark (3DBench), GLBenchmark 2.1.0 (trial version), GeekBench 2.1.9 (trial version), CPUBench and Linpack Benchmark. In addition, we used a browser-test SunSpider 0.9.1. So, what do we got?

Free 3D Benchmark uses vosmisekundnuyu stage of the game Defend London (you can buy it in the App Store). Unfortunately, the duration of the test can not be adjusted. So plan ahead for a large error. We ran the test on each device three times. The table shows the best results for each participant. The top line - the number of frames per second, lower - the time of the test.

iPhone 4S iPhone 4 iPod touch in 2010
60,192486 fps 59,285522 fps 56,542412 fps
8,290071 sec. 8,416895 sec. 8,825233 sec.

As you can see, the results do not differ much. In this case, the error in the case of the iPhone 4S was less than 1 frame per second (the worst outcome - 60,120571 fps). The iPhone 4 error was around 2 fps, while the iPod touch as much as the scatter of results was 5 fps (worst start - 51,357391 fps). How to interpret the results of the test 3D Benchmark? In principle, it is clear that the iPhone 4S all starts better than the iPhone 4, while the iPod touch - worse than both the iPhone. But, first, the difference is really very small (approximately at the level of error). And secondly, it clearly does not disclose the performance of iPhone 4S in full.

The next benchmark will GLBenchmark 2.1.0. This is a serious professional test, which is used in Apple. For clarity, we present the results in Table 4 and only iPhone iPhone 4S, as to the results of iPod touch, then, looking ahead, say that they are almost identical to the iPhone 4 (and, incidentally, proves that the game no fundamental difference between the iPhone 4 the last generation iPod and not).

So, what do we see? iPhone 4S just utterly breaks last year's model. In subtest Egypt, simulating game episode, iPhone 4S surpasses the iPhone 4 in 5-7 times! In subtest PRO difference in 3-6 times. If you look at other tests, we can only gain a foothold in the opinion of the superiority of iPhone 4S. It is not excluded that Apple somehow specially optimized for iPhone 4S is passing the test. But in any case, the result is eloquent. Please note that this test GLBenchmark graphics subsystem. Therefore, this performance difference will be felt only in those applications, which actively involve the graphics hardware acceleration.

Now let's see how things are with the performance of processor cores and memory. To do this, run the test GeekBench 2.1.9 for iPhone OS (this is a multi-platform test, it does exist in versions for Mac OS X and Windows, however, the version of the iOS have to buy separately).
