 camera of the futureThe camera photo digitalhave advanced a lot over the years. Anyway they still have some way to keep up with cameras in office, for example,mobile phones. It is true that many compact cameras and SLR cameras all offer better quality than any camera of a mobile, but there is something that currently only offer any camera (either compact or SLR) and this iswireless connectivity and features.

After the jump I leave with a really interesting video. It is a concept what could be the camera of the future. It is best to discover it yourself video content. As a small sum, it is a large touchscreen, with advanced features, connection Internet and the possibility of taking photos at a distance thanks to a goal that we can “release”The camera and use remotely assume that through any wireless (WiFi ¿? Bluetooth ?).

As said this is just a concept and I can not say that it becomes something similar on the market. If I can assure you that I love to see a product of its kind in the stores, although it appears to be quite complicated, at least for now.

integrated cameraGradually, the show about E3. The June 7 event begins and in it where Nintendo will be there to show them what they are working. The company has promised that during the show would make the official presentation of the second generation of Wii. So we will be vigilant.

As you’re imagining the day of announcement until we have no official information, but rumors have already started and seem to come hard. The last thing spoken of is the possibility that the Wii 2 includes camera controls. This could easily be inherited from the handheld from Nintendo already include camera long enough and liked its public purpose.
Include a camera controls can mean many things. Could serve to make video calls with other players. To be part of the games or evencapture the movements of the player in real-time video.

Whatever you have to wait until the official presentation to see if they really include the camera and uses it could have. And we still have to wait to try peacefully in our home, because until 2012 Nintendo released the console market and that it suffers no delay before.

Cameras on the market are photo of very high prices. Yet these cameras can be accessible to enough people, not the case with a camera that has been auctioned recently and you get the prize of the most expensive camera in history
The camera in particular was one of the first 25 prototypes of Leica. This camera was the first to cross the Atlantic and come to the office of U.S. patents for its approval and can be put on sale. Finally, this model does not hit the market and it was not until two years later when the Germans launched their first model Leica market.

Specifically, the Leica 0 of 1923 was sold for1.32 million euros. An amount that exceeds the previous record price for a camera photo that was also hit by the same model of Leica, although on that occasion (in 2007) fell by 336,000 euros.
The camera sold for 1.32 million euros has been bought by an Asian collector, Which will surely seek a special place among his collection because it is a truly unique model that are preserved and very few copies around the world.

 camera Undoubtedly What camera should I buy? is one of the most recurring questions, and send us the most, when someone asks for advice on topics of photography. A question, difficult answer, even more so, a priori, we know the concerns of those who posed photo.

So today we do, again, an effort to try to steer the difficult decision that any fan will come at some point in their lives gadgetera.

Try to make a structure, feature by feature , with emphasis on what we look for in terms of what ye like, you find your ideal camera.

1. Megapixels
See, I’ve said many times, the megapixel is not the most important feature of a camera , therefore, ignored, relatively, this feature. Nearly all cameras on the market currently exceed the 10 megapixels , more than enough for any normal user.

Megapixels, the final analysis, the only thing we provide is the final size of the photo, so you should only have it in mind if you plan to make enlargements of your photos. And when I say big enlargements, I do not mean photos 20 × 30, but really large prints (poster size, and up).

The only benefit we can bring extra megapixels to spare have the opportunity to reframe the photos to post our favorite editing program, which again is a consequence of size.

What we look for when buying?

Well, when buying a camera, the megapixels we just take them into account. If we seek a compact or bridge, 8-10 megapixels are more than enough and probably the sensor provides a better response than if we opt for more.

In an SLR is different, but not much, 10-12 megapixels is also sufficient for 95% of users, unless you pretend papering our room with the photos, but I think that is the case.

2. The objective

The goal, however, if it is a very important point to consider and we need to look at several things:

The focal range is, which is the lowest position and maximum zoom position, which will give us the coverage we have with the camera. If we cover a lot of field of view look low numbers (the lower, more field of view) and if we take pictures at a distance, look for high numbers. Always have to look at the 35mm equivalent focal range , to compare the different cameras.
For example, a camera with 24-120mm focal range covering more field of view that a 36-180mm, if however, the latter, will go further when we focus on a distant object.

The optical zoom , which is given by the focal length of which we spoke before the zoom is sold to us by manufacturers. If we continue with the examples above, the 24-120 mm lens will have a 5X zoom (24 × 5 = 120), as well as the 36-180 mm (36 × 5 = 180), however, has more angular (more coverage) and a more telephoto (we can frame distant objects).
For all that is important to know that our goal has focal range, so being able to choose, what your interest, a good angle, a good TV or a consolidation of the two.

On the other hand, always set at the focal lengths and optical zoom, digital zoom ever , it is useless (if you stretch professional is how to post the picture on the PC and recortáis).

The brightness is the third point to consider in order, especially if we like to take photos in poor light conditions, or do not like using the flash.
And as we know the brightness of the lens? because through the f number, which you can also see in front of the lens and the camera features. The lower the f number, the greater the amount of light entering the sensor and therefore less light you need. And against greater numbers f, less light will be.

In this feature no doubt, the lighter the better, although it is a feature that is often enough to affect the price of the camera.

Finally we also need to know the quality of the lens , which is ultimately the most influential features in picture quality, but this is a tricky point. The most reliable, is perhaps, first check out the photos at full size online, in flickr for example, or in the pages that perform in-depth analysis, and other trust mark of outstanding quality, as Leica or any of the big names in photography.
What we look for when buying?

For once we know the characteristics of the objectives seem clear, but for that we need to know what type of photography we like it or intend to do.

If you like landscape photography, for example, look very wide angle lenses. If we use a lot of the camera in low light (indoors, night shots, etc..) Seek a fast lens (low F values). If you want a versatile camera, look for a camera with optical zoom focal range covering much, etc …

Sony SLRThere is no doubt that recording video in high definition has been a star feature in SLR cameras in recent months. A feature, and a marketing argument, that the major brands of photography being used to continue selling their products.

Still, not all companies have embarked on the adventure. Some, probably because they are trying to promote new systems like Micro Four Thirds (Olympus see, for example) and others, like Sony, because perhaps a reflex camera with HD video recording would be in direct competition with other private label products where not interested in losing market share.

But it seems that, at least in the case of Sony, this could change shortly …

T-WP 100Without much noise have come to light two new Olympus cameras T100 and X560 WP calls, two basic and automatic compact aimed at those who do not want many complications when taking photos.

The Olympus X560 WP, perhaps the most interesting, remarkable for its robustness against drops and shocks and their ability to dive into the water up to 3 meters deep. A 10 megapixel camera sensor, 3X optical zoom stabilized and 2.4 inch LCD screen that includes the typical automation as the face detection or multiple scene modes, among its functions.
