Camera releases with Hi Speed Components!

Samsung NX1 Multi Motion Has 120fps!

Samsung NX1

As with many camera releases the full quoted specs do not tell the whole story on a camera’s final capabilities.  Our reader Andreas Bernhard pointed us that the Samsung NX1 does have a 120fps 1080p mode included inside the Samsung Multi Motion mode. We previously thought it was just a slowdown of 60p with interpolation but as it turns out it is also sporting a full 120p 1080 mode inside the camera.

Here is the first video comparison of the NX1 vs the Sony a7s which is limited to 120p at 720 resolution.  Video by Park Enna: → Continue Reading Full Post ←

Sony PXW-FS7 180fps Samples Surface!

The Sony PXW-FS7  Pro camera besides the 4k up to 30p spec also offers a great 180fps slow motion mode at 1080p continuous.  We expected the quality to be as good or better than the FS700 and it was the right call.  The quality of the slow motion is extremely good and uses a better XAVC codec; And will position for now the FS7 in the 3rd spot of the camera list guide right behind the FS700 displacing the GH4 to 4th place.

New iPad Air 2 Throws in Slow Motion

iPad2014SlowMo

Apple today refreshed both the iPad Air and the iPad Mini lines with basically just refined specs but not a re-design or groundbreaking update.  The iPad Air 2 is adding the 120fps 720p slow motion feature first seen on the iPhone 5s and bettered in the iPhone 6.  However the iPad is not as generous as the iPhone 6’s 240fps and only sports half the frame rate.

Furthermore the iPad Mini 3 has no slow motion feature and seems the least refreshed tablet.   If you want an iPad Tablet this year then the iPad Air 2 is a better option overall. If you just got an iPhone 6 or 6+ then both iPad models will be downgrades in performance and features except for the larger screens.  For slow Motion the iPhone 6 is still the best bet for Apple products continuing forward. → Continue Reading Full Post ←
