Panasonic Lumix G7 Mirrorless Camera With 4K Video Support 


panasonic_lumix_g7.png
It appears to be raining mirrorless cameras. Soon after Fujifilm announced its Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera on Monday, Panasonic followed suit. The company has gone ahead and launched Panasonic Lumix G7. The camera will be available in mid-June in the US and $800 (approximately Rs. 51,000) will get you a basic kit with 14-42mm/F3.5-F5.6 lens. For $1,100 (approximately Rs. 70,000) you can get an all-black variant of the camera with a 14-140mm/F4.0-F5.8 lens.
The Lumix G7 has a 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor and uses a Venus Engine chip with a quad-core CPU for image processing. This chip is also present on the more expensive Panasonic Lumix G4. Panasonic claims that the chip ensures that the Lumix G7 can shoot 4K videos without overheating. Talking about 4K, the Lumix G7 can record 3840x2160 pixel mp4 clips at 30fps and 24fps. Additionally, the camera can also record 1080p video at 60fps.

Along with 4K resolution videography, the Lumix G7 can also extract 8-megapixel equivalent high-res photographs. Also, a full-resolution burst mode captures at 6fps with shot-to-shot AF enabled. The camera can shoot images upto ISO 25600 sensitivity level. Also, the company is promoting its autofocus system, which has a new proprietary technique called DFD (depth from defocus). There is a variangle LCD as well. Also, the Starlight AF mode in the Lumix G7 apparently enhances contrast and exposure settings for capturing images of the night sky.
There is no India price or availability at the moment.

Canon 5Ds

Nothing comes close to the 5Ds' resolution. Also notable is that, for the first time (ever?), a full frame Canon EOS DSLR has a pixel density nearly as high as or higher than the highest resolution APS-C sensors. With a pixel pitch that essentially matches the EOS sensor densities found in the 70D and 7D Mark II, the 5Ds effectively erases the "reach" advantage formerly always held by APS-C DSLRs. Yes, the announced-at-the-same-time Rebel T6i and T6s have slightly higher density sensors (3.7µm vs. 4.14µm), but the density difference is not big and the camera model capability difference is huge. No longer is the 7D Mark II's pixel density an advantage for reach reasons – or for angle of view reasons. If you want an APS-C camera's 1.6x narrower angle of view, simply use the 5Ds' 1.6x center crop mode with 19.6 megapixel (5424 x 3616) images captured. Prefer the old 1D 1.3x framing? No problem as that crop mode is also available with 30.5 megapixel (6768

Preview Canon 5Ds

Preview based on pre-production Canon EOS 5D S & SR Canon has added to its EOS 5D range with the launch of two 50MP cameras, the 5DS and the 5DS R. Both cameras are high-resolution full frame models, primarily aimed at stills photographers. The only difference between the models is that the 'S' has an optical low-pass filter, while the 'S R' has a self-cancelling filter (the same relationship as Nikon's D800 and D800E models shared). The two cameras will exist alongside the EOD 5D Mark III, acting as dedicated high-resolution cameras primarily intended for studio, landscape and wedding shoots, rather than the all-round capability offered by the existing model. The Mark III still trumps the S and S R in terms of maximum ISO and continuous shooting speed. Slightly unusually for Canon, both models have been announced a long way ahead of their June 2015 availability date, so we wouldn't be surprised if some of these details changed between now and t
