Why do we have to choose the Canon EOS 6D Mark II? 

The EOS 6D Mark II camera puts full-frame performance into a compact, fully featured DSLR. Its 26.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 Image Processor help convey stunning outcomes even at extended ISO settings, making it awesome for testing low-light circumstances and additionally scene, picture and occasion photography.

What's more, the bargains in the 6D II are to a great extent the same as those made by the 6D preceding it: The bigger sensor is counterbalanced by a lower-spec self-adjust framework obtained from the EOS 80D, an absence of 4K video, and a shade system that tops out at 1/4000 sec, to give some examples.

Be that as it may, the EOS 6D Mark II has a great deal to offer. It is littler and lighter than a 5D IV, its articulating screen makes it less demanding to work at odd points, and in particular, it's a reasonable passage into the universe of full-outline Canon glass and expanded profundity of-field control contrasted with correspondingly evaluated cameras with littler APS-C sensors.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II Key specifications:

New 26MP CMOS full-frame sensor with Dual Pixel AF

1080/60p video capture with in-lens + digital stabilization

45-point all-cross-type AF system

Dual Pixel AF for both stills and video capture

ISO 100-40,000 (expandable to 102,400)

6.5 fps continuous shooting (4.5 fps in Live View)

3" fully articulating touchscreen

Wi-Fi w/NFC and Bluetooth

Built-in GPS

Quite a lot's changed since the arrival of the EOS 6D though, with not only Nikon offering some very tempting competition in the shape of the D610 and D750, but Sony's Alpha A7 and A7 II offering another affordable route into full-frame photography. For stills shooters, the Pentax K-1 is in a somewhat different league, offering much higher resolution and build quality.

Canon claim that the EOS 6D Mark II camera is designed to keep up with the action. Its fantastic shutter, advanced AF and exposure and image processing systems help ensure virtually instantaneous response and performance at up to 6.5 fps, even at full resolution.

Being a DSLR, the 6D Mark II begins up and begins taking pictures rapidly. Live view begins up in just shy of one moment, however in the event that you leave the camera in 'video' mode, it will take a couple of moments upon startup before you can really start recording video.

If you are not too dizzy with the type of camera, whether a compact camera or a regular DSLR, not a full-frame camera, would you entrust your photography activities on a premium smartphone?

A professional photographer may have different opinions, as well as those who want to seriously pursue photography as a new hobby or profession. The question is: what kind of photographer do you belong to?

Canon EOS 80D vs. Panasonic GH3

Canon EOS 80D vs. Panasonic GH3

By   8:33 PM   No comments:

Canon EOS 80D not only got tougher competition from mortal enemies, namely Nikon, such as the Nikon D5500, or other D series. In fact the 80D also got an amazing competitor from Sony and Panasonic. Now you can see the fight between the Canon EOS 80D vs. Panasonic GH3, which is certainly very interesting. They have different body types and systems. Of course you will also find similarities. Let's see together, so that you can make a good decision before choosing one of these great cameras. 

As we know Panasonic GH3 is a Mirrorless camera with a 16.0MP Four Thirds sensor whereas Canon 80D is a Semi-Pro DSLR camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor.This is a very fundamental difference. Lately, mirrorless cameras become an important alternative for photography fans, because this camera type camera has a smaller body, as well as lighter weight than a DSLR camera. Additionally engineers of mirrorless cameras have managed to improve focus speed, so that makes the difference is more interesting. You may turn to the Panasonic GH4 which reportedly has a focus speed is better than the GH3.

 

Canon EOS 80D vs. Panasonic GH3. Image: cameradecision.com

Panasonic GH3 major specs:

• 16MP - Four Thirds CMOS Sensor
• ISO 200 - 12800
• Micro Four Thirds Mount
• 3 inch Fully Articulated Screen
• 1744k dot Electronic viewfinder
• 20 fps continuous shooting
• 1920 x 1080 video resolution (Full-HD)
• Built-in Wireless
• 550g. 133 x 93 x 82 mm
• Weather Sealed Body

If you are very concerned with image sensor size or resolution, the Canon EOS 80D has a higher sensor, 24 megapixels, while the Panasonic GH3 only 16MP, with the Four Thirds CMOS Sensor technology. However, according to cameradecision.com, Since the 80D has an APS-C sized sensor and the GH3 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Panasonic GH3's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the EOS 80D lenses. Was it true?

Of course you have to prove yourself by making a few photos from both cameras, such as portraits, macro, scenery, and what if you use when making a photo in low light conditions. In addition, it should also be compared if used to photograph sports like car racing, football and other action photographs.

If you want to make a film or video, both the EOS 80D and the GH3 both can rely on to make videos in Full-HD resolution, even Panasonic GH3 classed as the best camera in the field of making video or a movie.

Canon 80D major specs:

• 24MP - APS-C CMOS Sensor
• ISO 100 - 25600
• Canon EF/EF-S Mount
• 3 inch Fully Articulated Screen
• Optical (pentaprism) viewfinder
• 7.0 fps continuous shooting
• 1920 x 1080 video resolution (Full-HD)
• Built-in Wireless
• 730g. 139 x 105 x 79 mm
• Weather Sealed Body

Canon EOS 80D has a 1.5x larger sensor area than Panasonic GH3. It is true that the larger sensor will give the photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture. 

However, this is not the main thing because you can choose another lens provided by Panasonic, as well as there is free software to manage your photos on your laptop or your PC. It's Turns out Panasonic GH3 very great for street photography, while the EOS 80D is suitable for making portraits both in the studio and outdoors. Apparently, the camera has no image stabilizer on their bodies. The solution is to choose a lens that has a OIS (Optical Image stabilizer) feature  or something like that. Although they have certain differences, both cameras are always good for everyday photography.

A brief history of Canon in the midst of fierce competition in the field of photography

A brief history of Canon in the midst of fierce competition in the field of photography

By   6:13 PM   No comments:

Canon is a company camera successfully entered the competition in the world of photography in the United States and Europe, was also successful in other continents, Asia, Australia and Africa. History and the Canon is also interesting as the competitors, Nikon. Canon's rival Nikon is not only successful, but also can make Kodak lost in its own country. As well as Nikon, Canon cameras favored not only by professional photographers, also used by the family and the novice photographer. Canon not only produce high-end camera or camera for photojournalists and professionals, but it is preferred by novice photographers.

The Kwanon - pre-Hanza Canon. Image: blog.f64.ro

In 1934 it produced the Kwanon, a prototype for Japan’s first-ever 35 mm camera with a focal plane based shutter. In 1947 the company name was changed to Canon Camera Co., Inc. shortened to Canon Inc. in 1969. 

According to en.wikipedia.org, Canon name has an interesting story, where the name comes from Buddhist bodhisattva Guan Yin  (Kannon in Japanese), previously transliterated as Kuanyin, Kwannon, or Kwanon in English. In 1935 the company files for registration of the "Canon" trademark, and in 1939 also started in-house production of Serenar Lens commences.

The Kwanon - pre-Hanza Canon key specs:

Camera Bodies:

A Series: AE-1 | AT-1 | A-1 | AV-1 | AE-1 Program | AL-1

T- Series: T50 | T60 | T70 | T80 | T90

F-1 | New F-1

Canon FL Resources

Pellix | FTQL

Lenses: FL | FD

The lightstalking.com also noted that by mid 1937 with good sales of the Hansa Canon, Precision Optical decided to start manufacturing their own lenses and by 1939 they were producing the Serenar series of lenses for their cameras. According to mir.com.my in the early development of cameras and lenses, Canon has not produced lenses as powerful or as sharp (precision) as Leica (Germany) and Contax, so their products remained relatively primitive. Of course, there was no competition in terms of price. The Leica was well beyond the reach of the masses. For example, the starting salary at a bank for a university graduate was 70 Japanese yen per month. The top locally made model, the Pearl spring camera, cost 49 yen. A D-model Leica with a 50mm f/3.5 lens was priced at 420 Japanese yen. Wow.

Canon never gives up the difference or gap occurs with Leica. With existing technology, and Leica makes the German company as a role model, Canon worked hard to make the lens and the camera at an affordable price, but high quality, precision and sharp as Leica production. The same spirit was also conducted by Nikon.

 The lightstalking.com also mentioned that as with Nikon, in the 1950’s Canon produced a product that raised it above the crowd. In Canon’s case it was the Serenar 50mm f1.8 lens. It was a lens that was way ahead of its era, effectively eliminating flare that was so prominent in many lenses of the day, and allowing Canon to lead the field in optical technology until now.

As we know, Canon is not only successful in the field of the lens and the camera. Great company is also renowned for photo copy machine, printer, and so on. Photography enthusiasts can now enjoy a Canon camera in different models and segments. 

You can choose a compact camera (point to shoot), prosumer (bridge camera), DSLR camera in a variety of segments, both for beginners or entry level, middle-class, high-end and of course a full-frame camera.

As well as Nikon, Olympus, Pentax or Leica, Canon also have experienced the era of analog cameras. Now with more advanced technology in the world of photography, Canon will always compete with various famous brands, especially Nikon. Who knows when the end of the era of the Canon vs. Nikon or Nikon vs. Canon. 

Is Olympus or Panasonic, or perhaps Samsung could change the main battlefield changed the title to Canon vs Samsung vs Olympus or Canon? The photographers and camera consumers who will determine the direction of the camera in the future competition.

Canon vs Nikon: fact and myths

Canon vs Nikon: fact and myths

By   12:28 AM   No comments:

When a novice photographer will choose his first DSLR camera, then there is a sense of confusion, whether to choose Nikon or Canon? There is a wide range of information already received the new photographer from other photographers about the differences Canon and Nikon cameras. As it turned out, the information is not all based on facts, but some of the myths that could ultimately affect the photographer before taking a decision. I also had an experience that is almost the same.

But I was lucky because I also have a Nikon and Canon cameras, even before the two renowned companies have launched their digital cameras. I really enjoyed using analog SLR cameras, both Canon and Nikon. I saw the pictures produced by both cameras, both when I use to make a portrait, landscape photography, macro photos and action shots.

I was satisfied with analog SLR cameras, both Nikon and Canon. Similarly, when I use their DSLR series. According to my friends, when judging the beauty of a photograph is often due to the subjective assessment. Of course, the jury can examine the photos and provide technical assessment according to the science of photography, say scientifically.

There are some myths that may affect you when buying a DSLR camera, is it better to choose a Canon or Nikon? Canon DSLR rumored that if the only suitable for use to make pictures in the studio such as portraits, pre-wedding photo, photographing the models, so the Canon cameras are not so suitable when used outdoors. Nikon also very nice reportedly used for making photographs of landscapes, photographing evidence of criminal events in the scene (CSI). Nikon DSLR is also widely used by the photojournalist.

However, if you watch a football match, racing F1 or Moto GP, and other action sports, you will also see the sports journalists, both of which carry the Canon and Nikon cameras. 

You will also be fascinated by their appearance with a variety of zoom lens or telephoto lens in white or black. The budding photographer must have envied the action of the photojournalist in the sports field.

At the press conference held by politicians or celebrities, you also witnessed a similar scene, where the gossip reporters or other journalists who photographed the press conference with the various versions of professional cameras manufactured by Nikon or Canon. However, it is not always a professional camera or a full-frame camera that you see, was among the reporters, some are using entry-level DSLR cameras, both Canon and Nikon. Perhaps the news agency they have not had the funds to buy them a high-end camera. However, once again the price of the camera is not the main factor to create brilliant photographs. The man behind the camera, that's what counts in the world of photography.

Canon sample image. Image: Putu Agung Wija Putera

If we go back to the myth of the Canon cameras are better used indoors, the fact is that in various photo contests, it was the champion who won the photo contest are those who use digital SLR cameras manufactured by Canon. 

The subjects of their photos include street photography, landscapes, action shots, and of course the portrait of a human or animal. Similarly, the myth of Nikon were definitely very good for landscape photos or outer space, there are many pre-wedding photographs, shooting in the photo studio and other events, was very much the use of DSLR cameras manufactured by Nikon. At various championships or photo competition, you will also watch superb pictures produced from Nikon cameras.

With the rapid advancement of technology in the world of photography, all the myths that can be refuted by the experience and expertise of the photographer. Additionally, you can fix a photo re-touch or use special software for photo editing, you can even maximize the in-camera editing, without having to use a computer with software that is expensive.

There are a lot of facts and myths about Nikon and Canon, but you are the main controllers of your camera. Make sure you master your camera by always practicing, hunting photos to new places anywhere, discussions with professional photographers in the photography forum, such as online forums on the Internet or join the photography club. You can certainly find a special club or clubs Canon or Nikon camera brand that does not differentiate you. Sign up on photo contest local, national or international is also the best opportunity to eliminate shadows of myths have you heard lately.

Finally, Canon 7D Mark II gets serious contender or a direct competitor after Nikon launches D500. There are several factors that led to the 7D Mark II can compete with it head to head by Nikon D500. According to bokeh.digitalrev.com, the D500 has 0.7 More Megapixels than the 7D Mark II. You do the math: 20.9-megapixels of the D500 vs 20.2-megapixels of the 7D Mark II.

Perhaps we need to pay attention to the comparison made by dpreview.com:

Canon-Nikon

153 vs 65 af points

4k video vs 1080p video

Expeed 5 vs Digic 6

3.2 articulating vs 3.0 LCD size

$1999 vs $1499 (1799 msrp)

From the comparison performed by dpreview.com, perhaps the most interesting difference is the resolution of the video that you can enjoy when you make a movie or a video clip, where the Nikon D500 is enriched with 4K video, while the Canon 7D Mark II "only" 1080p. In my view, the resolution of which belongs to the 7D Mark II is already quite comfortable for viewing on HDTV.

Gizmag.com also noted there are interesting things from the 7D Mark II with the D500, that is, from the aspect autofocus. The Nikon D500 looks to have leaped ahead of the already impressively-speedy Canon 7D II when it comes to autofocus. It has 153 AF points (of which 99 are cross-type) compared to the 65 cross-type of the Canon.

The difference comes in the expandable ISO department. The D500 can be expanded to a whopping ISO 50-1,640,000, while the EOS 7D Mark II can only manage up to ISO 25,600 expanded.

 If you need a sharing features such as WiFi, then you will choose the Nikon D500, because the D500 has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth plus NFC support, whereas the 7D Mark II does not have such options. Where the 7D Mark II excels is built-in GPS, which the Nikon D500 obviously does not have.

If you look over and examine the key specifications of the two cameras, is it really going to affect you before making a decision? You have to visit a camera store in your town, and asked the store clerk to show the camera physically, so you can hold and feel real. However, you should know, the Nikon D500 is more expensive than the Canon EOS 7D Mark II.

In addition to price, perhaps the emotional aspects as a true fan of one of these famous brands that will make you take a credit card to buy one of them. By the way, Canon vs. Nikon is always interesting for discussion and debate among photographers around the world.
