It’s a bit on the sly that Samsung announced the successor to the EX1 with EX2F, a compact camera expert. The Samsung offers EX2F and a CMOS 1/1.7 “12.4 megapixel backlit, a sensitivity range from ISO 80 to ISO 3200, a wide angle lens 24-80mm F/1.4 which opens in 24mm and f/2.7 in 80mm and is ultra light, optical stabilization but also mechanics, a rotating screen 3 “, the video recording in Full HD 1080p H.264, a stereo microphone, an SD / SDHC / SDXC, all in 112x62x29mm for 294g. Count in the 627.95 US$ for the end of August.
So, with such an opening, we look forward to the test because a sensor coupled to backlit, the EX2F can do wonders in low light conditions.
The Samsung EX2F was not created to compete with the DSLR, but for their additions. The camera is designed for novice photographers, but also for amateur photographers who want more control.
Main specifications
12 megapixel sensor BSI 7.44 x 5.58 mm (backlit)
ISO 80-3200
Optical 24-80mm f1.4
Screen 3 “AMOLED

At a time when the cameras have paws on the rise, those at the top of GoPro, JVC wants a piece of cake. This market has become highly competitive in a few months, the manufacturer generalist between the front door with a model of both tight and Wi-Fi.
Waterproof and wireless
First representative of the range “Adixxion”, the “GC-XA1” claims to begin designing a “quad proof”. It is actually waterproof up to 5 m deep, dustproof, resistant to drops from 2 m high and frost-proof, without additional shell, unlike the GoPro.
Despite being one of the few to pick its own viewfinder with those of CAMSPORTS and Drift, it also embeds a Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing not only to frame and then share with a Android smartphone or iOS, but also broadcast live on Ustream website, through a smartphone mode modem for example.
However it is home or GPS or gyro, unlike those of contour or GoBandit example.
An anti-rolling shutter
In terms of the image itself, the “GC-XA1” CMOS sensor has a 5-megapixel Full HD 1080/30p shooting with a function to reduce rolling shutter, the unsightly effect that appears on the plans hectic. The field of view of the lens is unfortunately not release any more than the rechargeable battery life.
Comes with a headband attachment for attaching a mask and helmet sticker or body, the “JVC GC-XA1” in return is in the top tier of cameras paws the most expensive, since it is expected mid-July in France retail price of 377.79 US $.
Sony announced its new Cyber-shot DSC-RX100. This is a compact camera equipped with an expert Exmor CMOS sensor type 1.0 (13.2 x 8.8mm at 3:2 aspect ratio) of 20.2 effective megapixels with a 3.6x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario -Sonnar T F1.8 aperture, sensitivity up to ISO 25600 and a burst mode (up to 10 frames / s at full resolution) combined with an ultra-fast autofocus system (0.13 seconds). Note also the LCD 3 “Xtra Fine with a resolution of 1,229,000 dots and technology WhiteMagic, saving photos in JPEG or RAW format 3:2, 16:9, 4:3 or 1:1 or the range of about 330 photos or 80 minutes of AVCHD video (up to 1920 x 1080, 50i). Its dimensions are 101.6 x 58.1 x 35.9mm for 240g.
According to rumors, Canon recently formalized its new amateur SLR EOS 650D with which offers its new hybrid sensor APS-C of 18 megapixels. Hybrid because the new sensor supports not only detection but also the phase contrast detection. For the remaining features, the EOS 650D offers a DIGIC V, a sensitivity of 100 ISO 12800 ext. to ISO 25600 (ISO 6400 ext. to ISO 12800 in video mode), a new more efficient and coherent AF with 9-point cross with the center AF point sensitive to F / 2.8, a measure of exposure of 63 areas, with in contrast detection, using continuous AF on the videos, a first in the EOS range, the video recording 1080p/24/25/30, video Snapshot mode, a stereo microphone, microphone input, a burst speed of 5fps, a touchscreen and swivel 3 “and capacitive technology with a resolution of 1.04 megapixels, new scene modes, a night mode and a HDR mode, new effects such as oil and watercolor effects (uh … How to say), an integrated Speedlite Transmitter, compatibility with UHS-1 cards, the same battery as the EOS 600D, all in rather compact housing with a weight of 480g body only.
Besides, Canon also took the opportunity to announce new objectives with a new engine said STM, optimized for video with a zoom mode and step by step and consider the new hybrid sensor of the EOS 650D. Two new optical STM EF created for the video will also be available in stride with the EF 18-135mm F3,5-5, and 6 MCS IS 40mm F2, 8 STM-like pancake 22.8 mm thick and with a MAP 30cm mini. So you have read, meet demand, Canon has therefore now and pancake type lenses on an EOS 650D, the gain in compactness is obvious. The 40mm is probably the first in a series, I hope not too soon to come, we’ll know more at Photokina 2012 this fall.
Digital cameras, even the compact budget variety, probably have a zoom feature. You may understand that “x4” zoom mean that the zoom will move in towards the point you have aimed at, four times as close. But do you know the difference between “optical zoom” and “digital zoom”? Some of the better manufacturers explain what this is in their sales pitch for their particular cameras, others are silent. It can be a crucial thing in deciding what camera to buy, so be armed with this information before you go shopping!
Like with video cameras, digital cameras measure zoom by magnification factor. As I’ve already said a camera with 4x or 4 times zoom magnifies the image by a factor of four. This does not mean that your subject will appear 4x larger than it does to the naked eye but that it will appear four times larger than it does in the natural, original “unzoomed” lens position. In fact most compact digital cameraswill have a starting lens position that makes the subject appear further away that it does to the naked eye. This allows you to fit more into your shot. It’s a sort of mini-wide angle starter.
Optical Zoom
Optical zoom magnifies the image using the cameras optics. That’s the lenses. This means that light is passing through curved glass which in turn makes your subject look bigger in your photo. The actual quality of the magnified image depends on the quality of the lenses and coatings on those lenses. Optical zoom is the traditional kind of zoom and can produce extremely sharp images. It’s been around since well before digital cameras.
Digital Zoom
Digital zoom appeared much more recently than optical zoom. Firstly on video cameras. I had one on my very first primitive camcorder and found that the zoom was disappointing though because the quality of it was so low and grainy. That is because digital zoom produces magnification by cropping the image and up-sampling the cropped portion. The result is a loss in quality. This is because cropping reduces the number of pixels used which you can see as a blocky or blurry looking image. The more you zoom in, the fewer pixels are used to make the image, reducing quality. So digital zoom is rubbish right? Well, no, not now.
With the advent of digital photo cameras, digital zoom has become somewhat more useful. Here’s an example. You’ve taken a picture of the Taj Mahal from a distance, but want to check that you haven’t got a car park just away to the side, or a plane flying by in the distance in the top left corner. You can use the digital zoom to zoom up on it on the cameras screen. This will bring into clear sight portions of the photo. Using the digital zoom permits you to look closer at the photo and reshoot if necessary. Note that using the digital zoom to zoom up on a photo after you took it does not reframe or permanently zoom up on that photo. It is just a tool to let you see it more closely. So- yes, look, there was a plane at the top left of the Taj Mahal. Take that photo again!
Now that you know the basic difference between digital and optical zoom, the question is how much zoom do you need? If price weren’t a factor, some may assume that the more zoom you have, the better. Not necessarily. A big zoom may mean that for the reasonable price, they will have cut corners elsewhere. Most people take pictures of their friends and families. When taking photos of this kind of subject, rarely will you be zooming up from far off. In fact you’d probably do better with a camera that has a wide-angle lens, to get more of them in the shot, especially when shooting indoors. How many times has that cry gone out when trying to take a picture of everyone sitting down at the dinner table.. “Move in closer- I can’t get you all in!”
Where a powerful zoom does come in handy is when shooting vacation photos or photos of recitals or other events where you can’t physically move closer. Most digital cameras on the market today have a 3x optical zoom. This amount of zoom fits with the needs and budget of most digital camera buyers. It is now possible to get cameras with optical zoom as powerful as 15x or more. While these can be very appealing, be aware that you are sacrificing some sharpness in order to get the versatility of a lens with such a large zoom range.
Another potential downside to buying a camera with a powerful zoom is that these cameras tend to be much larger and heavier. So if having a slim pocket digital camera is important to you, you’ll probably have to forget about getting a powerful optical zoom. Most small cameras max out at 4 or 3x zoom.
As for how much digital zoom you need? Well mostdigital cameras being produced today have more than adequate digital zoom. No issue.
Just remember that the optical zoom is truly the important specification to look for. Now zoom off and start looking for your perfect camera!
