Insects may not have focal vision or perceive bokeh, but the perception of location and motion must be extremely acute.

Could the same approach be applied to laser guidance or sub-optical...

Look for 2012 models that are being discounted to make room for 2013 replacements.  Some prices may indeed fall by close to 50%.  Some will offer decent features, including the video resolution you...

If mass sales of P&S cameras or camcorders are withdrawn from revenues, will the margins from high-end products be enough to cover direct costs, corporate overhead, debt service, and leave an...

Professional video of soccer (or any other sport) is usually shot at medium-wide angle from a super-stable platform, above the field, or else with cameras on monopods or Steadicams by people on...

Every buyer knows that they purchased the best camera there is.  The more they spend, the more they'd better be sure about that!  Therefore, the most "objective" rating system would be based on...

Oddly, lots of people are drawn to that show and relish posting pictures of their visit, including the monumental statues, murals, and smiling hosts.   Quite strange. Stranger still are the folks...

What is "full zoom"?  Do you mean the 30X or 100X "digital zoom" that kicks in after one exceeds the limits of the optical zoom. Digital zoom has always been a crummy, worse than worthless,...

Do you suppose Brother had any brotherly intentions to help out pensioners?  Brother certainly would not have wanted to pay one fraternal cent into the underfunded pension programs. The company...

Yes, ideology or conspiracy theory offer a pat answer for everything, since they rely on vast assumptions or third hand rumors.   But, instead of pinning Kodak's demise on evil schemes of labor...

A narrow escape from tragedy.  But I think it odd that Alaskans tread in bear feeding areas and expect to see birds but no bears.  The bear may have been defending its fishing spot, attracted by...

Never depart on a big trip, or attend a big event, with a camera or editing ware you've not tried beforehand.  Third party advice on camera use is no more useful than rumors on how to ride a...

There is no generic difference between one brand and another in terms of the quality of action video you get.  The difference is in how you are tracking the action and what the action is. If you...

Why are Kodak's failures any more tawdry than those of Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, HP, Dell, or other firms connected with consumer electronics?  Kodak would not have been saved simply by going 100%...

The night-shot or night modes offered by most cameras usually involve a very low shutter speed.  You obtain an image, but any rapid motion will be blurred, and the color and resolution will be...

Any details or support for his mention of "40fps burst mode (and rumours of a 4K / 8MP burst mode at 20fps)"?

If the price of the G5 with kit lens falls to $299, might it still not be "better"?

Most cameras blow highlights, if the subject is illuminated by a spotlight on a dark stage, or a bright beach next to dark water, or a brilliant sunset over a dark landscape. Unfortunately, the...

All Panasonic G and GH m4/3 cameras rely on in-lens stabilization. Some lenses have Mega OIS, a few offer Power OIS, and some primes have none.

How many GH3 purchasers have a real need for RAW video? How many terabytes of RAW would it take to shoot a tournament, ceremony, or trip? How much serious editing do the gear gurus do with RAW...

Camera appearances are an aquired taste. The first sight of equines terrified the Amerindians, who later became quite fond of horses and ponys.
