Don't worry, I had to look it up. I have seen it used before and in this particular context, the use of "mediums" felt like correct. But after reading various websites one can still...

Actually
The term "mediums" is the plural form of "medium" when "medium" is used as a noun—unless "medium" is used to refer to an outlet for communication.
"mediums" is used as plural when looking...

I have the manual focus canon FD 85mm 1.2L. Optically very similar to the EF auto focus version. I bought it for quite a lot of money (£499) second hand (obviously!) to put on my nex7 aps-c...

I doubt that throwing the camera around whilst shipping would crack a piece of plastic where the lightweight sensor is attached completely protected inside the camera. The camera would have other...

You got probably 89 shots out of a roll.

Mechanical cameras could still work after 100 years. Electronics, especially any capacitors, would have blown/leaked by then. Looking at my Rollei 35S and SE, these are mechanical jewels. And yes,...

Finally I can leave my phone at home.

Why not create a smart phone 6 mm higher and used that extra 6 mm to house the front camera as well as a couple of notification leds, microphones, loudspeakers or whatever. Does it really matter...

@MikeRan Actually I think this method was used on even the first AF SLR from Minolta. And it is a sound one for static subjects.

Regarding the "super resolution" in google cam night shot.
Would OIS reduce its effectiveness as it does not move too much?
Perhaps I should try it out by vigorously shaking my phone in an attempt...

Excellent article.
I wonder one thing, I use HDR+ and google night sight on my Motorola one Zoom via ported GCAM, and the jpg pictures are excellent. However, if I save the RAW and jpg at the same...

I do appreciate a decent camera on a phone. I decided to do daily walks lately and now carry a Motorola one zoom. Having OIS 80mm 26mm and 13mm equivalent lenses with me on regular walks means I...

Ha. I did not see that one coming.

Are you sure this is not the effect of distortion correction? Or perhaps a trick of Ibis to do a smallish crop to allow it to move about a bit?

@SonyOB Ha, yes that is a cool solution.
I posted only a few photos on my dpreview gallery.
The one with the hovering bee is a severe crop to look like macro. I was experimenting on the Sony NEX7...

I have the Canon FD 85mm f1.2L.
A bitch to focus manually on my cats.

Making it attractive for video will increase potential sales volume, hence they can offer it at a lower price. Therefore still only photographers will benefit. Economies of scale...

They probably have the watchdog in their pocket.
