Best New Cameras and Photo Gear — 8 Products for the Photographer’s Daydream

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

PhotoKina, the photography industry’s extravaganza of products and announcements, went down last week. Every two years, the tribes gather in Cologne Germany to showcase the latest and greatest and give us a peak into the future. I did not attend this year. To be straight-up, I’m not a big fan of trade shows. No offense to anyone who digs the gadgetry and flood of products and promotion, but these fluorescent-lit extravaganzas sort of give me the willies. But that’s just me, and the gear that bubbles up from the secret technology labs of the best and brightest camera equipment manufacturers is enough to make any photographer drool a little bit. The tools and technology being unleashed on the world make an undeniably exciting time to be a visual artist.

So here are 8 new products that caught my eye. Full disclosure, I have not tested or even handled any of these products yet. I have included links to more comprehensive hands-on reviews when available for those of you who want to go deeper.

Sony Cyber-shot RX1

Of everything announced at Photokina, this is the camera that I’m most excited about. Full-frame in a true compact with a 24.3-megapixel sensor. The only problem is that at present it’s just a big expensive toy to me. The fixed lens kills its potential for professional use for photo or video, but it looks like an amazing walk around camera for photo hobbyists… with some disposable income ($2800). Everyone should buy it to show Sony how much we all want a compact full-frame camera, then maybe (definitely) in the future they’ll make a version with interchangeable lenses.

Broncolor Move 1200L Flash Power Pack
I’m excited about this new pack. This battery-powered flash pack is definitely in the high end category with a retail price of over $5,000. Full disclosure, I am a long-time committed user of Broncolor. But for the serious studio photographer check this out:
_160 full power pops on a single charge
_takes just 90 minutes to recharge
_light and small
_1200j power, max flash duration of 1/20,000th of a second, weighs just over 13 pounds in weight and has LED continuous light
No reviews out yet.

The Hasselblad Lunar:
Hasseblads new luxury camera is perfect for those high rollers who want something totally different than the rest of the crowd. Word on the street is that it’s a tricked out Sony NEX-7. But if you want the panache of the Hasselblad brand, sell your car and hang this bling around your neck.

Fujifilm X-E1
This smaller and substantially cheaper little bro to the recently announced X-Pro1 has some interesting features. I dig the specs on this camera and the look of it, but I’m still a little Fuji-shy after how disappointed I was with the X100. Is anyone out there in love with their Fuji gear? I honestly wanna know. Good from afar for sure. But jury is still out for me on Fuji.

Leica M
The new M camera has a 24-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor that allows it to shoot video and use livemode. It’s f-you money expensive of course. It’ll cost around $7,000 here in the US. But, that’s no surprise coming from Leica. Great for the fantasy quiver.

Nikon D600
I already did a post when Nikon’s new DSLR hit a couple weeks back. Tons of feedback and discussion in the comments here. At $2,100 the D600 beat Canon’s 6D to the punch by a few days when it comes to the entry-level full-frame category. The Canon vs Nikon debate rages on.

Canon EOS 6D
The $2,100 Canon 6D, falls into the “entry-level full-frame” category along with the D600. I would love to try out the WiFi-based iPad app that lets you control the camera using your tablet. But this won’t be released to the public until December.

Panasonic Lumix GH3
Panasonic seems to have nailed it with this one. I love the videos specs on this camera: 1080/60P video, high bit rates, timecode, seamless files for continuous recording, clean HDMI out. Our video guru Erik Hecht told me, “This camera is making me seriously consider selling all of my photo/video gear and going to the micro 4/3 format full time.” On par with the best DSLRs out there, that’s something to consider at $1300.

  2. national tenant background Screening check records says:

    Try to get to know some of his relatives and friends too. Representative Artur Davis of
    Alabama is among the many politicians and Democrats eyed by the Obama Transition Team that will hold a
    position in White House. However, the time involved
    makes it much easier and cheaper to order an online search.
    If the employer were to see this before you, then even if the convictions are untrue, you are at a massive disadvantage to other candidates.
    You’ll know that you can trust your nanny and that your children are safe.
    You can better your chances for safety with a background check.
    Therefore, the idea of employment background checks
    comes to the fore. Criminal background checks also give details about the birth date, marriage record
    and death records, and addresses pertaining to the individual.
    These checks show any prior warrants issued, employment history, legally-required drug tests, etc.

    Everything appears fine but your check missed that this new nanny was accused with aggrevated assult.

    It might be possible that a person may enter your company with
    a motive to steal vital information from your office.
    Until and unless you have been given exemption there is no
    end to the question how long does a felony stay on a background check.

    When you are looking for a new housemate, roommate or tenant.
    In many cases, individual insurance would not fulfill the needs of a
    company with assets to protect. If you aren’t interested
    in viewing a bank’s entire credit rating, you can also
    look at the complaints filed on the Better Business Bureau.
    Locating a credit history is imperative and will be included while using the tenant background assess.
    Trust me, it is worth paying a bit more money
    to get the best service.

    Although I would sometimes have to check criminal records for insurance purposes,
    I would avoid it whenever I could. I was like every other new landlord,
    I thought I knew everything I needed to know. In the state of Ohio, a rapid increase in its divorce rate has been observed for the past years already and people search for the State Of Ohio Divorce Records for several reasons.
    If a person next to me is a sex offender who can suppress that fact and infiltrate delicate aspects of my life,
    I want to know. Just remember two very important things in making your choice:
    1)You cannot change a person after you get married.
    There are also federal laws that put a limit on the details
    that can be drawn from an employee background check. A litigation history will help you determine if they make a habit of nuisance lawsuits against their employers.

    In 2001, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention reported
    that 4 percent of child abuse cases were caused by caregivers, nannies and baby-sitters.

    Background checks help to prevent families or individuals from knowingly associating with someone who may be potentially dangerous.

    Most of us require only an address, a phone number, and basic background details on the parents
    and home before allowing our kids to play there.
    Try to get permission from the individual you are doing the background check on.
    Whether you are applying for a position of trust or access to classified information, there is a lot of information
    that will be requested of you. Most of them have records from every state, but not all
    of them have good nationwide records as well, not to mention access to law enforcement
    in other countries. Simply show up and ask for one. And now you insist on doing
    a background check on anyone who wants to care for your child.
    You can go through another online site that specialises in background checks.

    Moreover, jobs that involve working with children also require
    extensive criminal background checks, in the interest of preventing child abuse.
    Why, you may wonder? There are many different options that you
    can use in order to conduct background checks. The United States of America is one very large
    country in terms of land area and population, where it occupies lands from the Pacific
    Ocean until to the Atlantic. This is another good time to perform a background check.
    In spite of all, that may be going on, you still have to keep
    a positive attitude and must always smile in front of people and cameras.
    These reports will list the forthcoming tenant’s credit accidents, late payments, bankruptcies, and also
    previous addresses. You may be able to find Birth
    Death and Marriage Records Criminal Records Sexual Offender Records Copyright
    and Trademark Records with a free criminal background check.

    For example, John Murphy is used so often, that many records can show under this name,
    with only a few relating to the correct
    person being checked. You can also verify previous employment and possibly even certifications they have earned.
    We don’t want sex offenders wondering around a children’s hospital.
    However, as has been the case several times before, sometimes background checks
    may provide very unexpected information. Most of these requests have
    been filed by government agencies who hire a new senator
    or a new member in the bar association. All the things that I do in my job will always
    be recorded and will be seen in my employment background papers.
    The more common the name, the more results will be returned and the more time consuming it will be to sort
    through the presented records. It is important to stay up to date with what is
    on your own social security background check.

    Now you can do online background checking for a minimal amount that guarantees to give you accurate results in ten minutes or so.
    In spite of the ongoing debate over whether Accenture did the right thing
    by terminating an employee for a decade old conviction, most
    people would agree with reasons that drive companies to
    conduct employee background checks. Online background checks are public records searches.
    Would you rehire (name) should the opportunity arise?
    As you arrange employment background checks, know that certain pieces of legislation, such as the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, dictate how
    they should be performed. Granted, sex offenders are people too,
    and maybe some are even rehabilitated and deserve another chance,
    but there is no way for me to know who is and does,
    and who isn’t and doesn’t, is there? The only people who won in this senate vote are those
    who could not pass a background check. The felony stay on a background check depends on the period you
    have worked in your job, government rules and regulations you have followed and also depends on the type of felony.

    Overall, the record itself and the interview process will help paint a more complete picture of a
    candidate’s personality and work habits. Interview the people running the company.
