Canon PowerShot SX10 IS Review

Filed under: Digital Cameras — Tags: , , , , , — Ionica @ 11:00 pm

Though it was announced a couple of months ago, it’s just now that the new Canon PowerShot SX10 IS gets reviewed thoroughly by the guys at the Photography Blog. They call it a “sturdy plastic brick of a camera,” but let’s see why.

First of all the bigger and better lens which seems to be much better than the Canon S5 IS. Also interesting is the tilt-and-swivel LCD and the dedicated record button for video that come in handy. However, on the other part, the bad stuff is that you can’t have HD video recording or RAW still shots.

Last thing about it is the price, $400, which seems to be a little bit above what everyone expected, placing it above some very good point and shooters, and close to some entry-level DSLRs. Check out the details with them.

New Canon HD Camcorders, XH A1S and XH G1S, Announced

Filed under: Camcorders — Tags: , , , , — Ionica @ 5:20 pm

I’m very much into photography, so for me camcorders don’t have much of an appeal. However this one is interesting. Canon just announced two new HD camcorders, XH A1S and XH G1S both with some very interesting specs. And I’m talking about 20x HD video lens, manual zoom and focus, 60i / 30F / 24F frame rate options, instant auto focus (AF) technology, DIGIC DV II proprietary digital signal processor, two built-in XLR terminals both with separate and optional if you need it, HDD recording.

Other than these Canon XH G1S also packs HD-SDI / SD-SDI output, SMPTE timecode input / output, and genlock input. Prices start at $3,999 for XH A1S and $6,999 for the XH G1S, but if you’re a pro, I’m sure it would be worth it. – Canon
