Mirrorless vs DSLR Which type of camera do you prefer ?

Are you looking to upgrade from your current point and shoot camera to a more high end one ? If you are odds are you are trying to decide whether to upgrade to a Mirrorless  camera or a DSLR one. To better help you in your decision let us take a look at some of the pros and cons of each type of camera.

The main advantage of choosing a DSLR is that you can see exactly what you want to capture in your image. Also they tend to be faster and there are more options as far as what lenses can be used.

One of the advantages of choosing a Mirrorless camera is that they are usually smaller and more compact making them easier to travel with and take quality pictures when your on the go.  They also tend to be quieter and less prone to damage.

One thing is for certain whichever type of camera that you choose you will find the most variety and the best prices at www.slrhut.co.uk

Nikon D5300 VS. Nikon D5200 what are the upgrades?

Nikon recently released the all new Nikon D5300. So is it worth upgrading to this camera ? To answer this question lets take a look at the improvements that Nikon made with the newer camera.

One of the upgrades on the new D5300 is that it has the same upgraded sensor as the D7100 with a optical low-pass filter which should create slightly sharper images.  It also comes with a brand new EXPEED 4 processor and built-in Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities.

Most of the other features are very similar on both cameras. So is the D5300 worth the upgrade? The Nikon D5300 seems like a good upgrade for  those who are currently using a D3000 and D3100 or from the original D5000  and D5100 cameras.

In case you are currently using  D5200 it might not be necessary to upgrade to the new one since most of the features remain the same. The only major difference is the built-in Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities. In case that is essential to you than we would say go for it.

Whichever camera you choose you can be sure that you will find the lowest price at www.slrhut.co.uk Questions ? We are happy to help. You can call one of our friendly and knowledgeable staff at 02035 149 372

Nikon D600 vs D610 What are the upgrades ?

Is it worth upgrading to the new Nikon D610 as opposed to the older Nikon D600. In order to answer that question lets take a look at the the features that Nikon improved on the newer camera.

The main reason Nikon came out with the D610 only a little over a year after its predecessor would be due to the complaints they were getting about dust and/or oil on the sensor.

The Nikon D610 has  a new shutter unit in order to combat this issue. The new camera has some other improvements but they are very minor. The shutter is really the only major upgrade.

Both cameras make great choices and can be found for the lowest price at www.slrhut.co.uk Questions ? We are happy to help. You can call us at 02035 149 372  and one of our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be standing by to guide you.

Camera war – Canon 5d mark III vs. Nikon D800 Which would you choose ?

                  


So which camera would you choose? Your answer will probably have a lot to do with which manufacturer you are most comfortable with. So if you are a Nikon user you will probably go with the Nikon D800 and visa versa.

Well let’s take a look at some of the features on each camera so we can get a better idea which camera is best suited for you. The Nikon D800 really surprised everyone with its 36.3 MP sensor.
While the Canon camera has only 22.3 MP the manufacturer was focusing more on image quality through it’s autofocus  features. The Canon camera’s high ISO improves on noise reduction compared to it’s predecessors.

They are both great choices whether you are just getting in to professional photography or if you are already a seasoned veteran in the field.

Whichever camera you choose you can be sure that you will find it for the best price at www.slrhut.co.uk  Questions ? We are happy to help. You can call us at 02035 149 372  and one of our professional staff will be standing by to guide you.

Go Pro Hero 3 VS. Go Pro Hero 3 + Is it worth upgrading ?

So is the new Go Pro Hero 3 + worth the extra money to actually go out and buy it if you already own the Go pro Hero 3 ? Well lets look at some of the upgrades and then you can decide if it is worth it for you.

One of the main new features on the newer model is that it is lighter and more compact. Another important feature is the battery life.

Camera War – Canon 70D VS. Nikon D7100 Which would you choose?

So which one would you choose ? Most consumers would go were they feel comfortable. So if your a Canon fan you will most likely choose the 70d and visa versa.

They are  in the same price range and are top sellers for both major camera companies.
The new EOS 70d has new technology for taking pictures and new ways of sharing them. Also the touch-screen display makes it easier to handle.

The Nikon D7100 is a more classic camera that is the closest you can get to the quality of a full-frame camera without paying the going rate for one.

You can purchase either camera at www.slrhut.co.uk for a much lower price than other retailers or  you can call us at 02035 149 372and speak to one of our professional staff.

The Canon 60D VS. 70D. Is it worth the upgrade ?

Canon's new release of the 70d is no surprise since it's biggest competitor Nikon came out with their big release of the d7100 recently so Canon has to stay competitive.

So is it worth the upgrade from the 60d? Well it has a couple more megapixel than its predecessor but not a big deal there.

It does have a 5+ image processor so the picture quality will be improved. Also it has built in wireless connectivity which the 60d did not have.

There are other improvements such as a touchscreen and a dual pixel CMOS which will improve auto focusing.

The price is good to so we would definitely suggest the upgrade if you are in to technology and you are in to HD video.

You can purchase either camera at www.slrhut.co.uk for a much lower  price than other retailers or  you can call us at 02035 149 372

The FZ200 – Panasonic’s New Flagship Superzoom Camera

     

          
Competition in the digital camera industry lead to a lot of races. First, there was the megapixel race, with manufacturers scrambling to increase camera resolution to higher and higher levels. That calmed down (to some extent), only for a new race to spring up around lens power. Now manufacturers are offering cameras with 30x, 42x, even 50x lenses. Panasonic, though, has taken a different path with its Lumix DMC-FZ200. Rather than increasing focal range, Panasonic has stuck to same 24x optical zoom that was on its previous flagship superzoom, the FZ150, but has kept its maximum aperture constant at f/2.8 over the entire zoom range - a first for any superzoom camera.

Combined with its 12.1 MOS sensor, the FZ200 becomes just about unmatched in the superzoom segment for low light shooting. The large aperture allows photographers to use lower ISO settings or faster shutter speeds to reduce noise or blur, respectively, something with great appeal to sports and wildlife shooters among others. To help put this in perspective, an equivalent DSLR lens can easily cost over $3000 dollars – and that does not even include the DSLR body. Panasonic’s suggested retail price for this camera listed as $600.

The lens obviously gets a lot of attention, with its enviable aperture across its 24x 25-600mm zoom range, but that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing remarkable about the rest of the camera. The new electronic viewfinder is 0.2 inches across with 1,312,000 dot equivalent resolution – more than 6 times higher than its predecessor. Since it is a field-sequential design, the viewfinder runs at 60Hz. The main, rear LCD has variable angles, allowing for shots from otherwise difficult angles. Self-portraits become a breeze to make.

The camera offers both High Definition and High Speed Video. HD video can be recorded at up to 120 fps, and normal VGA can go even faster at 240 fps.

The FZ200 has a built in Panorama shot mode, and offers the choice of saving in RAW format. That doesn’t mention significantly improved battery life, and a larger working flash range. Also, the maximum shutter speed increased to 1/4000, while the minimum has decreased to a full 60 seconds, to allow for long-exposure shots. It can take 12 photos per second in burst mode.

Since manual and automatic modes are easily accessible through a physical dial, the camera is suitable for casual or beginning photographers along with more advanced ones. The different manual modes allow users to set what shutter speed, aperture or ISO setting should be used. One of those can be set manually with the other two being adjusted automatically, or all three can be set manually. Obviously, automatic modes each sets all three of those based on the light conditions and other factors.

The camera has the same autofocus system as Panasonic’s more advanced G-series, which is known for its speed. Combined with the camera’s fast aperture, the camera makes possible quick snaps at the telephot end of its zoom range – where many other cameras slow down.

Canon SX50 Takes Zooming to Another Level...

Recently, camera manufacturers have been driving up lens ratings on cameras to ever-increasing levels, much like the race to drive up megapixel ratings earlier. Just a few years ago, 12x lenses were just about the best that you could get. With the creation of the “super-zoom” class of cameras, they’ve been left in the dust, with 24x or 30x lenses now common. The race really heated up last year with Nikon’s announcement of the Coolpix P510, with its 42x lens. Now Canon has gone to the next level with the PowerShot SX50, featuring a humongous 50x 24-1200 mm lens.

That’s more magnification power than most binoculars can provide! The SX50 allows you to capture huge landscapes or fill the entire frame with a subject kilometers away, just by spinning the lens, without having to switch lenses or cameras.

The camera inherits much from the SX40 before it. It has the same 12.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 5 processor, and a rotating LCD display. The camera body, however, has been completely redesigned, with a much more sleek and modern looking design. The camera now has an external hot shoe, which can accept any of Canon’s Speedlight EX flashguns, making it much more useful in low-light situations. Wired remote control is also available.

The rear LCD size has been made slightly larger, and has more than twice as many pixels. It is a vari-angle display, which means that it can be tilted and rotated to allow for capturing at odd angles or to reduce screen glare. The 202,000 dot electronic viewfinder is surrounded by a rubber cushion and has a diopter wheel.

ISO range has been expanded from 100-3200 to 80-6400, while burst rate can take 13 frames per second over the previous 10.3. Full HD video recording has been added as well. Face recognition has been built into the camera’s autofocus system.

Twelve settings are available on the camera’s shooting mode dial, including the standard program, shutter priority, aperture priority and manual settings along with settings based on the scene or the subject, such as a sports mode and a landscape mode. A digital effects mode is also available. HD recording modes and even slow motion movie capture modes are available.

The SX50′s focal range is obviously its biggest selling point. Although the camera costs about as much as an entry-level DSLR camera, it offers much more value for its price, since DSLR cameras are either sold with a basic 18-55mm lens, or with no lens at all. Since the full potential of DSLR cameras can only be used in conjunction with a number of lenses, the SX50 offers a better value than any DSLR setups within this price range. In fact, a single DSLR lens for with the same range as the SX50′s lens would easily cost thousands. The fact that Canon has been able to put a lens like this into a fixed-lens camera with the SX50′s price tag is something of a manufacturing miracle. With the ability to take images in JPEG or RAW formats, the camera is a serious alternative to a DSLR.s

Nikon D7000 Surprises with Professional Specifications...

 

The announcement of the D7000 came as a surprise for many people following Nikon. A successor for the D90 had been widely expected, but no one was really expecting the successor’s upgrades to be quite so large. The camera ended becoming its own class, in between the mid-range D90 and the professional D300s, although in many areas the camera matches up or even exceeds the D300s’ specifications –  even though the D300s is supposed to be Nikon’s flagship DX-format digital SLR.
With 16 megapixels, the camera’s newly developed CMOS sensor had the highest resolution in Nikon’s DX-format DSLR lineup when it was released (although it has since lost that title), easily beating the D300s’ 12.3 megapixels. The camera features a magnesium alloy body, which was previously only found on Nikon’s flagship cameras. Combined with a thick rubber coating for the hand grip, the camera gains serious durability and comfort over its plastic and polycarbonate competitors.

The autofocus system also got a big upgrade. The new 39 point AF array easily trumps the D90′s 11 point array. Nine of the D7000 ‘s points are cross-type points, which are more accurate and powerful than the normal type. The AF array works with a new 2016 pixel RGB metering sensor which allows subject tracking based on white balance and color. Nikon’s Scene Recognition System is also available, which senses the surrounding lighting and ambiance and automatically adjusts the camera’s aperture and white balance.

Movie recording capabilities have been significantly increased, with full HD 1080p video added at 24 frames per second. For lower resolutions, video can be shot at up to 30 frames per second. A microphone jack has also been added to allow for external audio recording although a built in mic is also available. The D7000 can maintain its focus on the during movie shooting even if it or the camera moves, thanks to its AF-F (Auto Focus Full time) mode. This is also available for the newly added live mode that allows for users to use the rear LCD rather than the viewfinder. Movie editing functionality has been added, of which much was taken from Nikon’s top-end cameras.

In continuous shooting mode, the camera can take up to 6 pictures per second, over the D90′s 4.5. An extra SD card slot has been added, both of which can support Ultra-High Speed cards. ISO ranges have been extended from 200-3200 to 100-6400, which can be boosted up to 25600, which allows for photography in increasingly dim situations. A built in sensor cleaning system has also been added. The rear LCD is relatively large at 3 inches, and has quite a high pixel density with a  921,000 display.

The camera includes a focus motor, which makes it compatible with AF, AF-D,  AF-S, and AF-I lenses from Nikon, allowing support for lenses twenty years or older. A new lithium-ion battery has been added. The viewfinder has 100% frame coverage, unlike the D90 that had 96%. Diopter adjustment for the viewfinder has been extended to a wider range.

Best Candid Image Photo Contest...

 

“A candid photograph is a photograph that is captured without creating a posed appearance. This is achieved by avoiding the prior preparation of the subject and by either surprising the subject or by not distracting the subject during the process of taking photos. Thus, the candid character of a photo is regardless of the subject’s knowledge or consent as to the fact that photos are being taken, and regardless of the subject’s permission for subsequent usage such as distribution, but related to the apparent absence of posing.” – As described by Wikipedia.

F/stop Explained

                

Understanding F/stop and aperture is essential if you want to get the most out of your SLR camera so bear with me as I will try to explain it to you in the simplest way I possibly can.

First you will have to remember that the lower F/stop is, for example 1.2/f the more light will get through the lens onto the sensor therefore allowing you to photograph in lower light, and higher f/stop for example 4.5/f will allow less light to get through the lens. I know… that sounds pretty confusing

-Why lower number means more light and higher less? Let me explain.

F/stop is a ratio between the diameter of the aperture and the lens focal length.  So for example on 50mm Lens f/2 says that aperture diameter is 25mm (50mm/2=25mm) and f/4 would say that is is 12.5 mm (50mm/4=12.5mm) now imagine that aperture is a window  through which light gets onto a sensor. Which door will allow more light 25wide big or 12.5 mm wide?

So F stands for?  F stands for Focal length which is measured in millimeters (mm)
And Stop is because  each number is a STOP in doubling/halving  sequence

f/1.4  f/2.0  f/2.8  f/4  f/5.6  f/8  f/11  f/16  f/22

Aperture

As always I hope that I gave you enough information to inspire you to learn more, experiment and have fun with photography.

Nikon D7000 Vs. D7100 what are the upgrades?

Is it worth it to upgrade to the D7100 ?  Many people would say yes due to the fact the D7100 has 24MP.

There is one more important  thing to consider though which is its sensor is new, and unique for Nikon cameras. The D7100 is the first Nikon camera in which the sensor lacks an optical low-pass filter (OLPF).  The result should be higher resolution than is possible from the conventional  sensors in the D7000.

Camera War – Canon SX50 vs Panasonic FZ200...

When comparing camera’s the best way to declare a winner is to intensively test the two out. While build and specs give us an idea as to which camera will perform better in what scenario, testing them out is the best way to go about it, as you realize how each device handles, and how well the image quality stands against zoom.

Both cameras being looked at today were released in the autumn of 2012, and enthusiasts everywhere since then, have been going head to head over which is better. It’s a close call between the two, and both come armed.

One has a constant aperture of 2.8 throughout its entire zoom, and the other has a ridiculously large zoom of 50X. There are four main areas of comparison, Affordability, Built, Specs/Features, and Image Quality.

Affordability:
The Canon Power Shot SX50 costs $374 at its lowest, while the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ200 $424 at its lowest. As the two cameras compete for the same target audience, the Canon pulls ahead in this area, being the more affordable alternate.

Built:
The SX50 looks presentable, and is made out of a sturdy plastic casing. It has a functional grip, and a straight forward interface that beginners will appreciate, and new users will adapt to fast. Everything that should be easily accessible… is.

The FZ200 is slightly different. It feels… expensive. Panasonic has designed its camera to show off its true caliber. It feels more high-tech, featuring a clickable thumb wheel. The casing has a more refined finish and the handle grip is wrapped in rubber for more contact. The settings displayed are also for professional photographers, who’ll make use of the expert settings more often.

Specs/Features:
Panasonic was designed to wow. While the two cameras have similar overall specs, the FX200 has more features. Also, it’s fast. It has a super quick start up time, and features Panasonic Light Speed AF, for fast and accurate autofocus which allows you to capture all aspects of landscape and nature, particularly any involving rapid movement. What stands out about the Panasonic is, of course the f/2.8 constant aperture. Before it, all zoom cameras had variable apertures, so it’s the first of its kind.

In contrast, the SX50 holds up its own. The longest zoom before it was at 41.7X or 1000mm. So when Canon released its contender, they raised the bar to 50X. But the device isn’t all about the zoom, what’s fascinating is its image quality. The noise level is kept in check throughout the entire zoom, only getting slightly out of hand towards the end. In comparison the Panasonic fails to deliver such impeccable image quality, even with its fairly standard 24X zoom.
 
THE VERDICT:
Keeping in mind all the aspects discussed, the SX50, in my opinion is the clear winner, with the FX200 a very close runner up. The price, the enormous zoom and the image quality make the Canon a clear winner for me. It’s affordable, versatile, well equipped and good for beginners!

Tips on what equipment to choose when going from amatuer to Pro...

Cameras: When it comes to low and medium price range semi and professional cameras Canon, Nikon are on top of the food chain and then there is everyone else. I think that general consensus is that Nikon is just one tiny step ahead of Canon in cameras department but Canon has better lenses. I do not know if I agree with that since both brands are coming with new innovations each year and popularity balance shifts from model to model like a teeter totter. Personally when looking for new camera first thing to consider is sensor size in general cameras with bigger sensor take better pictures regardless of Megapixels, those SLR's are more expensive but that feature is well worth investing in it.

Image Stabilization  "IS"   .Another feature to consider is Image stabilization. That is a great and useful feature especially while using long lenses (nature and wild life photography). One thing to remember is that not all brands install IS on the cameras, Canon for example manufacture Lenses with IS therefore cameras does not have Image stabilization. While shopping for cameras also pay attention to Autofocus there is many types of autofocus feature one most important thing is number of mattering points the more the better. Cameras with more mattering points can detect a subject in more parts of the frame. I also pay attention to size and resolution of the screen, grip, weight, size, color balance and placement of controls of a camera but this attributes could be considered pros or cons depending on personal preferences. There is way more we could talk about but for purpose of this article I would like to stick with basics. Slrhut.co.uk Phone # 02035 149  372 Give us a call today!

Photography Tip Of The Week: How To Photograph Young Subjects

Tip #1: Act Natural

Be ready for anything when you photograph children.
What if you want a natural shot and can't get a child to ignore the camera? Or, all you are getting from your subject are rehearsed poses and fake smiles?

As a photographer, I hate fake. So I don't try and make my younger subjects "do something". That's fun for proud parents, but not the serious photographer.

Be patient and take your time. Let the kids get used to someone walking around with a camera and I promise you, soon enough they will ignore you all together. In this case their short attention span is a blessing.

Tip #2: Be prepared




Natural lighting adds warmth to your composition.

 Even though you cannot plan on getting exact shots, you should still be ready for the moment your opportunity arrives.

For instance, when shooting indoors it's a good idea to walk around and scout the whole environment. See the placement of the windows, and measure the available light. Think about your composition, the colors around you, and even the reflections.

You will have seconds to take a shot of your subject. The more you know about the  elements around you, the less chance that you will spoil your opportunity.

 Tip #3: Stay Sharp




Off-Center Subjects works quite well
in a balanced composition.
Always be aware of your environment and take care that the settings on your camera correspond correctly! Cameras have came long way over the last 20 years, but one thing has always been constant: they are only as good as the people that are using them.
Of course setting knobs you can switch to "creative" exist for a purpose. But how creative is an automatic shooting mode? Experiment with your camera settings... Shutter Speed, ISO and Aperture are your friends.
We will cover these subjects in later "Photo Tips", but suffice to say that manually adjusting your SLR's settings makes it possible to change the "feeling" of your image, as they allow you to control light, focus, and depth of field.
 Tip #4: Be Smart







This is one single most important advice I can give you: Do not chase Mega-pixels!!

I understand that everyone wants to have a great camera with rave reviews and big numbers, but the truth is that the camera is just a small part of your system.

You have invested your money and should expect to get the best return on your dollar. So do your research, and speak to experts that can answer all your questions.

Putting extra money towards a quality lens is invaluable. Also, find out which accessories are best for the effects you want to achieve.
A Canon 5D Mark 3 or Nikon D7000 are both excellent and very expensive bodies but without the proper equipment you'll find it harder to get the shot you really want- no matter which Digital SLR t you buy.
