Canon finally enters the slow motion game!

CanonXC10

It has been nearly 6 years since the EOS 7D DSLR was introduced in September 2009. That was the last time canon offered a frame rate bump which was 720p at 60fps.

We believe the reason is product separation so that the Nikon 1 V4 will be able to have some increase in specs while having the same basic internals.

Here are the specs That have changed for Slow Motion Video: → Continue Reading Full Post ←

Sony FDR-X1000V Beats Hero 4 in Detail!

pSNYNA-FDRX1000V~W_alternate2_v500

The new Sony FDR-X1000V Action cam has been arriving to users and there is a lot to like.  For starters the image stabilization while “Digital only not optical” is excellent and something GoPro needs to include in it’s offerings. There is some stuttering in heavy motion but does work very well. Resolution will be reduced by stabilization as the image borders are cropped on the Sony FDR-X1000V.

The color is very saturated the low light beats the GoPro easily when it comes to detail. It is still no low light champ but it does offer better performance than the Hero 4 Black. → Continue Reading Full Post ←
