Fujifilm Slams Sony and Canon With New Tech - http://clapway.com/2016/01/15/fujifilm-slams-sony-and-canon-with-new-tech-123/

Fujifilm has made major headway in the photography market with their compact mirrorless cameras. How will Sony and Canon measure up?

Fujifilm Introduces New Fujifilm X-Range

The updated camera model still has the ability to take awesome pictures and keeps its retro design. The camera features an image sensor, which maxed out a 16-megapixels. The updated camera image sensor maxes out at 24-megapixels. This put this camera up against the likes of Sony, Canon and Nikon.

Among the new features of the camera are the following: a 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor. This sensor reduces moire and false colors without needing an optical low-pass filter. its Fujinon lens allows the camera to snap pictures with a perceived resolution that aims to impress and succeeds.

Fujifilm Can Actually Measure Up to Sony and Canon Now

The camera also features a new high-performance X processor pro image-processing engine. It has four times the speed as regular image-processing engines. All response times are faster even though the resolution has been increased. And that’s not the only thing that’s seen an increase. Start up times, high-speed continuous shooting speeds and write speeds have all been hiked up. This engine put together with an X-Trans CMOS III sensor brings in some more magic. It gives the camera faster autofocus, less noise and better tonal and colour reproduction.

X-Pro2 Features the First and Best Hybrid Viewfinder

One of the unique upgrades to the camera is that it features the first ever advanced hybrid multi-viewfinder. This combines the perks of optical and electronic viewfinders. With this, it makes it possible for users to choose and switch between both modes, or even preview in real time, how they want to take their pictures. This feature was first seen in the Fujifilm X100 in 2011, but this is a significant upgrade to the technology.

The Fujifilm X-Pro2 has a multi-magnification feature that makes an automatic switch between viewfinder magnification by taking into account the lens being used. It also features an Electronic Rangefinder that displays the electronic viewfinder on top of the optical viewfinder.

Fujifilm Slams Sony and Canon With New Tech

Although we probably won’t see the 250 MP #sensor on a #DSLR any time soon, #Canon has quite a reputation to uphold in the domain of optical imagery. - http://clapway.com/2015/09/07/canon-250-megapixel-camera-sensor123/

Canon has dominated the world of optical imagery for some time. With its steady release of innovative cameras and camcorders over the years, it’s almost expected that the multinational company would come out with a device as revolutionary as the 250-megapixel APS-H CMOS. The boast worthy 19,580 x 12,600-pixel sensor, precise enough to break the world record for resolution in its size, can distinguish letters on the side of a plane flying nearly 12 miles (18km) away.

CANON RELEASES ITS 250-MEGAPIXEL MONSTER LENS

According to Daily Mail, the APS-H CMOS might one day be used in spy cameras for ‘specialised surveillance and crime prevention tools, ultra-high-resolution measuring instruments and other industrial equipment.’

The “monster sensor,” on its own, easily makes other cameras look obsolete. But just to add frosting to the cake, the APS-H CMOS can also shoot video footage at 30 times sharper than 4K and 125 times sharper than Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) [even if it can only do so at five frames per second]. Furthermore, it has an ultra-fast signal readout of 1.25 billion pixels a second – meaning it is able to get “the captured image data out of the sensor and onto the main system bus” at an incredible speed, according to Ars Technica.

THE FUTURE FOR CANON

Although we probably won’t see the 250 MP sensor on a DSLR any time soon, Canon has quite a reputation to uphold in the domain of optical imagery. Most likely, the sensor will be utilized in medical and surveillance gear before making its way to consumer markets. But, perhaps as a instance of foreshadowing the inevitable, the company has already constructed a basic prototype camera around the sensor, complete with a SLR lens attached to its front for testing.
