Hasselblad discounts several pro cameras, still a lot more than your average Canon

Hasselblad discounts several pro cameras, still a lot more than your average Canon

via cdn3.sbnation.com

Hasselblad — the maker of professional grade, medium-format cameras — has reduced the pricing of its H series cameras in an effort to appeal to a larger audience of creative professionals. The camera maker is discounting the H4D-31 and the H4D-60 by approximately 20 percent, which puts them at $ 11,995 and $ 30,995, respectively. Both have medium-format sensors, but the H4D-31 clocks in at 31-megapixels and the H4D-60 comes in at a whopping 60 megapixels

Hasselblad is also dropping the price of a few other models as well, like the H4D-50, H4D-50MS, H4D200-MS, and the CFV-50. Make no mistake, the company’s “reduced” pricing still puts this gear firmly outside the reach of mere mortals. If you’re a professional photographer, though —…

Samsung NX210 leads 2012 range of Wi-Fi-equipped mirrorless cameras

Samsung NX210 leads 2012 range of Wi-Fi-equipped mirrorless cameras

Gallery Photo: Samsung's 2012 NX mirrorless camera lineup

We’re calling it: 2012 is the year when wirelessly-connected cameras start to move out of the point-and-shoot ghetto. Nikon announced its D3200 DSLR with an optional wireless dongle earlier today, and now Samsung’s getting in the game with a Wi-Fi refresh of its entire NX mirrorless camera line. The NX11, NX100, and NX200 have been replaced by the NX20, NX1000 and NX210, and the range now features 20-megapixel sensors across the board. The rangefinder-style NX210 and DSLR-shaped NX20 don’t differ much from their predecessors physically, but the NX1000 has gained a more traditional grip than the unusually-shaped NX100. All the cameras feature Samsung’s trademark i-Function lenses, which allow you to control various exposure settings with…

RED announces Dragon 6K sensor upgrade for Epic and Scarlet cameras

RED announces Dragon 6K sensor upgrade for Epic and Scarlet cameras

via dl.dropbox.com

High-definition specialist RED has announced that an upgrade is coming for its Epic and Scarlet cameras, allowing users to add 6K native video recording (6,000 x 4,000) to their already specced out video shooters. Dubbed “Dragon,” the sensor also promises 15 stops of native dynamic range as well as the ability to record at 120fps in 5K. This is a significant upgrade for the cameras, which can currently only shoot at 4K while still maintaining any kind of fluid frame rate.

RED’s cameras are designed with this kind of upgrade in mind, with a modular design meaning that users can easily add new features or lens mounts to their cameras at a later date — hardly something that Canon’s new cinema range can boast. These modules (and avoiding…

Canon EOS C500 and EOS-1D C: hands-on with Canon’s newest 4K cameras

Canon EOS C500 and EOS-1D C: hands-on with Canon’s newest 4K cameras

Gallery Photo:

NAB is all about the best of the best in camera technology, and Canon kicked off this year’s show with a bang. The company crowded a theater with industry professionals, press, and just lovers of cinema, and showed off its new EOS C500 and EOS-1D C, the 4K cameras the company launched this week.

The cameras themselves aren’t huge departures from cameras we’ve seen before. The 1D C looks a lot like the 1D X, but rather than a still camera that shoots great video, this is most assuredly a video-first camera. It shoots 4K video at 24 frames per second, and can output uncompressed 1080p footage as well. It’s a very light and mobile camera, at least considering its competition, and the sample we saw — a short called “The Ticket” that was…

Livestream Broadcaster encodes and streams live HD video from cameras to the web for $495

Livestream Broadcaster encodes and streams live HD video from cameras to the web for $495

Livestream Broadcaster

Livestream has just unveiled the Broadcaster: a device that can encode and stream live HD video directly to the web from nearly any camera over Wi-Fi, ethernet, or a 3G or 4G USB modem. The system supports nearly any camera that can provide it with an HDMI signal, including 1080i, 720p, and 480i resolutions, and the Broadcaster encodes the signal in real-time using H.264 and AAC audio. The device can be mounted on a tripod or connected to a camera using a hot shoe adapter. Once connected to the internet, users can control the stream through an LCD panel on the Broadcaster, or through the Livestream platform on the web.

At $ 495 including a three month subscription for the Livestream’s ad-free streaming platform (which is otherwise $ 45…

Sony adds nine cameras to Cyber-shot line, including a 30x superzoom and a Wi-Fi camera (hands-on pictures)

Sony adds nine cameras to Cyber-shot line, including a 30x superzoom and a Wi-Fi camera (hands-on pictures)

Sony Cyber-shot HX200V (embargo 2/28)

Sony announced a trio of new cameras only a few weeks ago, but the company wasn’t done: it announced a whopping nine new shooters today, across its H and TW series of its Cyber-shot lineup. The two banner models of the bunch are the DSC-HX200V superzoom, which offers 30x zoom, and the HX30V, which has Wi-Fi built in. The Wi-Fi implementation was done particularly cleverly, too: it works over an ad-hoc network, connecting directly to your phone or computer a la an Eye-Fi card. The camera works with companion PlayMemories apps for Android and iOS, and it’s impressively easy to transfer photos onto your phone from your camera and then share them on the internet. It’s Sony’s way of acknowledging that you own a smartphone, even while trying…

Kodak to stop making digital cameras as struggles continue

Kodak to stop making digital cameras as struggles continue


Kodak said it will stop making digital cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames in order to focus on more profitable products, reports the Associated Press. The move isn’t surprising, as the company is slowly emerging from last month’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. “Our goal is to maximize value for stakeholders, including our employees, retirees, creditors, and pension trustees,” Kodak said in a press release. The company’s digital camera and picture frame products will be phased out during the first of half of the year as Kodak instead focuses on photo printing and desktop inkjet printers. The company will continue to honor warranties and provide technical support for discontinued products, and the move is expected to result in annual savings of more than
