Micro FourThirds gains Momentum

PANASONIC LUMIX DMC-G1: WORLD’S SMALLEST AND LIGHTEST DIGITAL INTERCHANGEABLE LENS CAMERA*
*(World’s smallest as of this moment, likely to be beaten by the end of the day, at the very least by the end of September when Photokina is underway.)

Main points of Interest:
· Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens mount
· 12.1 Mpx
· 3 inch LCD
· Face Detection (upt o 15 faces)
· 124 x 83.6 x 45.2mm
· 385 gm (body only)
· Coloured body. Black, Red, Blue

A lot of the amazing features that have made Panasonic compact cameras so popular are incorporated in to the G1. Such as Panasonics iA (Intelligent Auto) mode. iA will detect the shooting conditions and adjust the camera accordingly. MEGA O.I.S Gyro-sensors detect handshake and thereby shifts the lens system to compensate.
The G1’s compact size can be attributed to the new, smaller lens mount and to its electronic full-time Live View Finder, as opposed to a conventional optical viewfinder. The electronic Live View Finder, with an impressive and high-resolution 1,440,000-dot equivalent, allows the user to shoot the exact image the camera sees while also displaying information about the camera’s settings through the view finder. The G1 also features a clever built-in eye sensor, so the camera can detect when the user is nearing the view finder and automatically switches off the LCD, thus conserving battery life. Furthermore, the Live View Finder has a large 1.4x (0.7x on a 35mm equivalent) magnification and when using the G1 in manual focus mode, the frame in the view finder or LCD will enlarge by 5x or 10x (can adjust using the dial).

The new Micro Four Thirds mount in no way compromises picture quality as the imaging sensor is the same dimensions as the standard Four Thirds system.
IMAGE SENSOR:
· Type Live MOS Sensor
· Total pixels 13.1 Megapixels
· Camera effective pixels 12.1 Megapixels
· Aspect ratio 4:3 (Horizontal : Vertical)
· Colour filter Primary colour filter
· Dust reduction system Supersonic wave filter

Nikon D90. So close I can taste it.

2 Weeks away...
Inspired by Nikon’s acclaimed flagship DX-format digital SLR camera, the D300, and building on the success of the wildly popular D80, the D90 delivers stunning image quality.
The CMOS image sensor and 12.3 effective megapixels combined with Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED image processing system deliver outstanding images with fine details, smooth tones, brilliant colors and low noise across a broad ISO range. Photographers are able to easily compose stunning images using the Live View Mode on the large 3-inch 920,000-dot high-resolution LCD screen. The 11-point auto focus (AF) system utilizes Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System and Face Detection to help make the best shot in a variety of environments. Matched with the new versatile AF-S NIKKOR 18-105mm Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization lens, and a burst rate of up to 4.5 frames per second, photographers can confidently capture fast action and precise moments as they unfold. Also helping to ensure no memory is missed, the D90 offers fast handling with a power-up time of a mere 0.15ms and split-second shutter response measuring just 65ms, eliminating the frustration of pictures lost to shutter lag.

Nikon D700

Wow.. what a night the Nikon D700 pre-launch at Camera House digital was a huge success. Images after the break.
