We asked a lot of experts about the features that make a camera drone superior to others, and here’s what they told us. Check out these factors to select the best drone with an HD camera. Camera setup The first thing that you should check is the camera setup as you are buying a drone for photography and videography. A camera drone with the best megapixels isn’t always great, so you should make your choice wisely. Look what features are available with the camera and how much you can zoom with it. There are multiple drones in this like DJI Mavic 2 Zoom that offers 4X zoom and 2X optical zoom. Similarly, there are some other features associated with the camera like night vision, and face detection. Check out these features before going for a drone. The battery life of flight time Do you want to recharge the drone after every five minutes? Well, it’s pretty obvious that you don’t! You need a drone that offers remarkable battery life so that you can fly it for more time. Every camera drone available in this list has a different battery life, so you have to choose one based on the factor. Mobile application The mobile application of the drone should be intuitive as you need it while flying. It would be hard to find how intuitive the mobile app is, but you can download it from the app store to check how it works. Some drone manufacturers like DJI have best-in-class smartphone apps that make flying a drone easier so you can settle down with any of the DJI camera drones. Flight performance How easy is it to fly a particular drone? A camera drone should be easy to maneuver so that you can click pictures with it while flying. Most of the modern drones come with some ultimate features like auto-return and hovering around the object, so you get added ease in flying them. Fortunately, all the drones enlisted in this article are easy to fly so that you can pick any of these. Durability Drone accidents are pretty common, and they can even happen with professional flyers. Go for drones that are reliable and more durable. Obviously, cheap drones aren't that durable, so you have to go for some good options like DJI Inspire 2 to get a durable drone. Price Some of the best camera drones are pretty expensive, so you should make your budget before buying one. There are some affordable options available on this list like DJI Mavic Mini, and you can get it if you have a tight budget.

How we selected the best camera drones

Selecting the best drones with a camera wasn't easy at all, as there are multiple options available. Our review team spent hours in the research and compared all the five drones listed in this article. These parameters were the pivot point of our selection process of the best camera drone. Camera: As the article is for best camera drones, so we compared the drones based on their camera configuration. We took pictures and videos from the drones before adding them to our list. Battery Life: The next important parameter was the battery life. Our team recharged the battery of every drone to calculate the flight time. You can check the actual flight time of every drone listed in the description. Ease of Flying: A drone should be easy to fly so that even the beginner-level users can fly it. Most of the drones listed in the article are easy to fly. Flying Range: We flew the drones to their limits to check how far each of them can go. Every camera drone has a different flying range. Price: Of course, price is an important parameter, while choosing the best camera drone. There are some budget options available in this article; also, you can choose some high-end options like DJI Inspire 2.

Is it legal to fly drones in the United States?

Yes, it is legal to fly a drone in the United States, but you have to check whether you comply with it or not. Before flying your drone, you should register it with the FAADroneZone portal so that the authorities know that the drone belongs to you. Also, there are some other rules: you should never fly near an aircraft or above the G-airspace, which needs to be followed. Click here to read all the terms and conditions you must fulfill for flying a drone in the United States. Final Thoughts These are the best camera drones you can get in 2020. Our team tested every camera drone to ensure that it stands on what it promises. Also, you can easily choose a camera drone from this article based on your preference. Go through the buying guide, and FAQ section to make a rewarding decision. The best camera drone of this list is DJI Inspire 2. If you are looking for a budget option, then go with DJI Mavic Mini.

Living with a Dell Precision 5540 Mobile Workstation

Just when you think you’ve got a great mobile computing solution, something always comes along to upset the apple cart. In my case, it was mostly drones — more specifically, the 4K footage from my Mavic Pro drones. In addition to the added compute demands of rendering and encoding 4K video, consumer drone footage benefits mightily from substantial post-processing to reduce noise, correct artifacts, and perform color grading.

My two-year-old Dell XPS 15 9560 has been a great workhorse for photo and video editing but has been limited by its 4-core CPU and thermal issues (even after I hacked on it with various thermal fixes). Plus there is a whole new generation of GPUs since its 1050, for applications like Lightroom and Photoshop that take advantage of them. So I went shopping.

Shopping for a High-Powered Laptop

By default, I looked at the newest model XPS 15, the 7590, but early reviewers seemed to be having the same thermal issues as the earlier versions. I also looked closely at the HP and Lenovo mobile workstations,

but the components I wanted — latest generation i9, Turing GPU, and 4K touch display, all in one 4-pound chassis — weren’t all available at the time. They are starting to be, and I look forward to working with some of them over time. But I needed something sooner, so I took a chance and purchased one of the first Dell Precision 5540 units.

The Precision 5540 is very similar to an XPS model, with a few workstation twists, like the option for a Quadro GPU and some thermal tweaks, along with being certified for a lot of creative and engineering software. Early units even said XPS on the back flap, although now they say Precision. Physically the Precision 5540 looks nearly identical to my 9560, and in fact while I’ve had both of them in use I’ve found myself being frustrated at a missing file only to realize I’m on the wrong laptop.

Dell also provides about the same extensive set of ports it has for several years. There is a USB-C port that is now Thunderbolt 3 compatible, HDMI, 2 traditional USB ports, a mic/headphone jack, and a welcome SD card reader. Hard-wired Ethernet is long gone, but Dell does ship a USB-C Ethernet dongle along with the machine. Video callers will be thrilled that Dell has squeezed the webcam into the tiny bezel above the screen, instead of having it next to the keyboard.

If you’re looking for a fresh design, the Precision 5540 isn’t it. It’s nearly identical on the outside to my 2-year-old XPS 15, other than the new webcam placement.

You can get the Precision 5540 with Windows 10 Home, Pro, or Workstation (if you choose the 6-core Xeon). Linux is also available. RAM ranges from 8GB to 64GB, and hard drives from 256GB to 1TB. If you want either the T1000 or T2000 GPU, you’ll probably also want the large battery instead of an extra drive bay. The only screen option advertised to support 100 percent of Adobe RGB is the 4K IGZO4 Touch version. Selecting it will also require the large battery and configuring 2 RAM modules. After Dell’s online discounts, the 5540 is priced similarly to a high-end XPS 15.

The Precision 5540 Is a Performance Beast for a 4-pound Laptop

By the numbers, the Precision 5540 is a large upgrade over my last-gen XPS. The 8-core i9-9980HK has a lower base clock than the 9560’s i7 (2.4GHz versus 2.8GHz) but it boosts to a maximum of 5GHz and doesn’t throttle nearly as much. Running Cinebench R20 (CPU rendering) the 9560 crashed to a low of .8GHz, helping reduce its score to just over 1000. The 5540 never went below 2.9 GHz which, along with its 8 cores, allowed it to score over 3200. That performance ratio was more than matched in Intel’s XTU benchmark, at 2800 versus 850.

Similarly, the Quadro T2000 is a big upgrade. 3DMark’s TimeSpy jumped from 1800 to 3200, for example. The results for FireStrike were also good, jumping from 5000 to 7400. Following along with a monitor on the CPU temperature and clock speed, a small amount of thermal throttling occurred, but the CPU was always able to perform above its base clock.

Dell’s Precision 5540 4K LED display has a gamut covering 100 percent of sRGB and Adobe RGB, along with 95 percent of DCI-P3.

However, this is still a lot of processing power and heat crammed into a small package, so it isn’t immune from throttling. A combination of heavy CPU and Nvidia GPU load will cause the system power limit to come down, which in turn can reduce clock rates down to their base clock.

What? No RTX?

Having just covered Nvidia’s big push to roll out its RTX capabilities to “Creatives,” I was well aware that even though the T2000 GPU in the Precision 5540 is a beast by mobile standards, it doesn’t have any of the dedicated RTX functionality. In the end, I decided I’m okay with that. It isn’t clear how much true RTX capability is in applications Nvidia touts, so I don’t know what the performance gain would be.

In particular, while I do a lot of rendering, encoding, and image processing, I don’t game on my laptop (much) or use it for ray tracing very often. Similarly, serious AI work will still be the province of my desktop machines or the cloud, which have beefier GPUs and more GPU memory. Plus, the mobile workstations with real RTX GPUs are even heavier and more expensive. If Nvidia is successful in establishing RTX

as a permanent part of its architecture, I’m sure that will change over time.

“Kitbashing” to Save Some Bucks

A favorite term in our family comes from model railroading: Kitbashing to upgrade a pre-designed building model is one of our favorite activities. Doing your own computer upgrades can be just as rewarding, and even more profitable. Dell wanted an uplift of something like $700 to equip my machine with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. I found I could buy the equivalent or better components for about $250 (Crucial 2666 RAM and a top-rated Adata NVMe SSD) and install them myself.

I did find that the security settings in the BIOS had to be turned down a notch before it let me boot of my new drive — that I had cloned from the one that came with the Precision 5540. Then I used the excellent PC Mover utility from Laplink to get my apps, files, and settings across from my old machine. It’s not perfect, but having tried many tools that claim to do this over the years, it is the only one I’ve found that is actually worth using.

Using the Dell Precision 5540

Overall, the Precision 5540 is a joy to use. The screen is stunning and capable of being incredibly bright. Having the (optional) fingerprint reader in the power button makes returning to the machine simple and intuitive. And the machine is fast. It not only benchmarks fast, it feels fast and is responsive (which you’d certainly expect from all that power under the hood). You can order it with a spinning hard drive as the primary drive, but I find it hard to believe that would ever make sense.

Unfortunately, much like many other Windows computers, the Precision 5540 continues to struggle with sleep-related issues when running Windows 10. The first one I ran across was that the default “connected standby” or whatever the current term is for the default sleep mode is, would enable the machine to fire back up after I closed it and put it in my photo backpack. Forcing it to hibernate solved that problem, but it really shouldn’t be a problem at all in a state of the art high-end machine. The other issue I had with two different units is that after resuming from sleep the WiFi speed was crushed to less than 10% of what it had been before. Interestingly, I didn’t see this when the 5540 first shipped, but has been easily repeatable for the last couple weeks. Updating drivers (from either the Dell or Intel site) doesn’t seem to fix it, although turning WiFi off and on again does. I really hope Dell gets on top of this soon.

Conclusion

Overall, I’m satisfied with the Precision 5540. It performed perfectly on the road in Europe to process 360-degree panoramas and lots of 4K drone footage, and around the US on several different projects. While the 5540 pricing starts at $1,240, a fully-configured unit prices out at just over $3,000, so it isn’t for everyone. I’m pleased with my choice and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to those with similar needs and budgets, although both the Thinkpad X1 Extreme 2nd generation and the HP ZBook Studio G6 should be worthy competitors. I’m assuming that Dell can fix the annoying WiFi issue.

For Mac users, look for the rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro by the end of 2019. I do wonder if its screen will actually be larger than the 15.6-inch current standard for high-end 15-inch machines, or if the 16-inch moniker is just marketing. It’ll be interesting to see what Apple provides for GPU options for it, as that is one area where they have tended to lag behind Windows competitors.

New Post has been published on https://www.updatedc.com/2019/01/08/dji-smart-controller-for-the-mavic-2-pro-and-mavic-2-zoom/

DJI Smart Controller for the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom

The DJI Smart Controller for the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom drones has been announced at CES. The Smart Controller features an ultra-bright display screen and optimized controls and allows users to fly the Mavic Pro 2 and Mavic Zoom without using a smartphone or tablet.

DJI Smart Controller

The DJI Smart Controller features a 5.5” screen built into the controller itself. It has been designed so that you no longer need to connect to a mobile device. This makes the whole process of getting your drone up in the air a lot quicker and easier. It can be paired with DJI’s newest drones including Mavic 2 Zoom and Mavic 2 Pro which use DJI’s OcuSync 2.0 video transmission system. The DJI Smart Controller supports automatic switching between 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, reducing the influence of environmental interference on drone operation and image quality. This also ensures reliable long-range transmission at distances of up to 8 km.

Users can take advantage of its compact, highly portable design that has been optimized for use in direct sunlight. The ultra-bright display has an output of 1000 cd/m2, twice the brightness of standard smartphones. The brightness can be manually and automatically adjusted. When Auto mode is enabled, the DJI Smart Controller will automatically adjust its brightness using a built-in light sensor, making it optimal for the human eye according to the surrounding environment.

The DJI Smart Controller comes with a built-in microphone and speaker for expanded options such as live streaming. It can also playback video through the HDMI port at 4K 60fps with H.264 and H.265.

A customizable Android dashboard supports DJI GO 4, DJI Pilot, along with various third-party apps such as editing programs. The DJI GO 4 app also touts several new features including SkyTalk, that allows pilots to live stream the drone’s camera feed to social channels including Facebook, Instagram, and WeChat.

Another new feature is DJI GO-Share which easily transfers imagery from the Controller to your mobile device. The DJI Smart Controller brings a new level of reliability when flying, with 2.5 hours of battery life and the ability to operate in adverse temperatures as cold as -4°Fahrenheit and as hot as 104°Fahrenheit.

What is interesting is that users can download third-party apps through the built-in browser or install APK files from a microSD card. (DJI will not be liable for any permission or safety issues resulting from the use of third-party apps. If an installed third-party app prevents you from enjoying optimal use of your controller, DJI suggests you remove the app or restore the controller to the original factory settings.)

Price and Availability

The new Smart Controller will be available for purchase beginning in early 2019 for the retail price of $649 USD. Combination packages of the Smart Controller with Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom will be available as well.

Is it worth the high asking price?

The Smart Controller looks to be a great idea, but to me, it seems extremely pricey given the fact it is going to cost almost half the price of a Mavic Pro 2 or Mavic 2 Zoom. What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below.

2019’s best camera gear

The cameras, lenses, and accessories that impressed us this past year. (Pop Photo Staff/)

In 2019 we saw nearly every camera company bet on mirrorless cameras, but there were plenty of other camera tech advancements that wowed us over the past twelve months. Read on to learn more about the products that blew us away this year.

Smartphone cameras aren’t very good at zooming. They typically switch to a whole different camera module with a longer lens (and smaller sensor) or they use digital “zoom,” which typically offers even worse image quality than simply cropping after the fact. The P30 Pro, however, has a 10x optical zoom lens built in. No, the phone isn’t massively thick. Instead, the company mounted the zoom lens vertically inside the smartphone and employs a mirror to redirect its viewing angle like you’d expect from a periscope. Combined with some rather impressive digital zooming tech (it’s still not perfect), you can mimic a 50x zoom lens and capture surprisingly usable images.

Apple’s Deep Fusion

Apple’s multi-shot system works behind the scenes to pull every detail out of your iPhone 11 shots. (Apple/)

In recent years, smartphone photography has shifted its priorities from hardware to the software and processing power that pumps out finished images. Apple’s Deep Fusion tech captures a burst of photos from before you even push the shutter button. It’s a mixture of short, regular, and a long exposure image, all of which contribute specific image attributes to every shot. The short exposure offers sharp edges, while the long exposure provides extra light. The final result is an impressively sharp image that excels at drawing out fine details like leaves in a landscape or texture in a delicate plate of food.

Fujifilm X-Pro3

A hidden LDC screen on the X-Pro3 gives an analog feeling to this brand new camera. (Fujifilm/)

The Fujifilm X-Pro3 has the technical guts of an X-T3, stuffed into a body that simulates the experience of shooting with a film camera. Unlike most digital cameras, the X-Pro3 has a hidden LCD screen, making it difficult for photographers to obsessively chimp over the shots on the screen. To frame on the camera, shooters must peer through an optical viewfinder, which has a field of view larger than the edges of the image—a great tool for street photographers to spy subjects before they pass through the frame. The design forces photographers to slow down and think before they shoot—skills that are crucial for capturing those decisive moments.

Osmo Pocket by DJI

A two-in-one pocket sized solution for capturing stabilized footage quickly. (DJI/)

DJI’s Osmo Pocket is an all-in-one rig with a mechanically stabilized 4K camera that is about the size of a candy bar. The camera—and the stabilizing gimbal on which it sits—is similar to what you’d find in one of the company’s drones. The Osmo Pocket can shoot 60 frames per second and comes with impressive shooting modes like time-lapse video. The two-in-one product is a pocket-sized solution for creating quality footage quickly.

Photo Mechanic 6

A powerful ingest tool for photojournalists, event photographers, and sports shooters. (Camera Bits/)

Photo Mechanic may not be the sexiest photo program, but for photographers that have to ingest a large amount of files quickly, it’s one of the most crucial. The last major upgrade to the media browser came in 2012, and a lot has changed in the camera world since then. Photo Mechanic 6 has 64-bit compatibility (so it will work with the most recent MacOS), improved UI, gives users the option to select which images it imports from a memory card and is three times faster than Photo Mechanic 5. Because it isn’t catalogue based, it’s a much speedier way to ingest, view, rate and tag images than programs like Lightroom or Capture One. This is a must-have tool for photojournalists, event photographers, and sports shooters.

Nikon Nikkor Z 58mm F0.95 S Noct

This $8,000 piece of glass is the fastest manual focus lens that Nikon has ever made. (Nikon/)

Nikon’s 58mm F0.95 Noct lens isn’t for everyone—in fact, it’s specially designed for night photographers who need to make the most of small amounts of light. The $8,000 piece of glass also happens to be one of the fastest manual focus lenses that the company has ever made. The lens is made up of 17 elements in 10 groups, including three aspherical elements. A new Arneo coating cuts down on light reaching the lens from vertical directions, while a Nano Crystal coating helps eliminate flare and ghosting. It’s massive at 4.4 lbs and feels like a monster when attached to the Z camera, but that 0.95 aperture makes for some insane bokeh.

Leica SL2

Leica’s second-generation full-frame mirrorless camera has a powerful CMOS sensor and ergonomic changes that make it a joy to shoot with. (Leica/)

The follow up to 2015’s Leica SL, the Leica SL2 is a powerful, full-frame mirrorless camera built around a 47-megapixel CMOS sensor with improved ergonomics and a simplified three-button layout to match what is found on the Leica Q and M series. The SL2 has a full-metal housing made of anodized aluminum and machined magnesium and an IP54 rating against moisture and dust, which gives it a rugged and substantial feeling. The UI in the camera has a less-is-more approach, making it an incredibly intuitive camera to shoot with. A suspended sensor inside the camera adjusts position to compensate for shake for 5-axis in-camera image stabilization—a great feature for shooting with manual focus M mount lenses.

Sony a7R IV

The fourth generation of Sony’s mirrorless full-frame camera has a 61 megapixel sensor and shoots at 10fps. The camera also has one of the best autofocus tracking systems in the industry. (Sony /)

The a7R IV is a beast of a camera. It’s built around a 61-megapixel sensor that can pump out uncompressed RAW files that are 124 MB each and Extra Fine JPEGs that are nearly 40MB per shot. It shoots at 10fps continuous bursts, has one of the best autofocus tracking systems in the industry. It shoots 4K video, has 547 AF points, and offers 15 stops of dynamic range. In the high-end mirrorless full-frame category, this camera really goes above and beyond. The camera body also got some subtle ergonomic tweaks that make it a lot more comfortable and fun to shoot with.

Canon RF 85mm F1.2L IS USM

This powerhouse of a lens features 13 elements in 9 groups and is the first RF to utilize Canon’s BR optics, now if only there was a pro-level mirrorless body to attach it to. (Canon/)

Although we’re still waiting for Canon to release a mirrorless camera body that makes sense to use with this spectacular lens, the images that this fast 85mm prime can produce are stunning. The lens was the fifth available for Canon’s mirrorless camera system, but the very first RF lens to utilize BR optics, which help cut down on chromatic aberration. The lens includes 13 elements in 9 groups, including an aspherical element, an Ultra-low Dispersion element and the previously mentioned BR optics. It has a 9-blade circular aperture, a fluorine coating to make it dust and weather resistant, and a customizable control ring that can be used to adjust exposure compensation, shutter speed, aperture or ISO.

Lensbaby Omni Creative Filter System

Lensbaby keeps it simple with this fantastic creative accessory. (Lensbaby/)

Sometimes a good camera product is all about keeping things simple. While Lensbaby’s Omni Creative Filter System may not be the most technical on this list, it’s simple design and the creative possibilities of shooting with it won us over this year. The clever collection of filter rings and magnets create a hands-free way for photographers to shoot through crystals and textured gels to create in-camera effects. Photographers simply screw the filter ring to the front of their lens and then attach the various crystal wands through small magnets.

Panasonic DC-S1R

Panasonic dives into the full-frame mirrorless market with three cameras. (Panasonic/)

Panasonic introduced three full-frame mirrorless cameras this year, a big jump, considering that up until 2019 Panasonic had been using a Micro Four-Thirds sensor. The DC-S1R has a 47-megapixel sensor, in-body shake reduction, a contrast-detect AF system, an ultra-high-res 5.76M-dot EVF, and an L-mount that supports Leica SL lenses. A mode called HLG Photo Mode saves high dynamic range images as HLG files so photographers can display them on HLG-compliant 4K televisions—the first camera with the capability. Another new photo setting called High-Resolution mode uses the sensor-shift image stabilizer to shoot eight consecutive images and then synthesize them into a single image with extremely fine detail.

Ricoh has a well-earned good reputation when it comes to building smart, technically excellent photographic equipment – including the almost legendary Ricoh GR series of pocketable APS-C cameras, which are a favorite among street photographers everywhere. Earlier this year, the company released the Ricoh Theta Z1, which builds on its success with its pioneering Theta line of 360-degree cameras and delivers a step-up in terms of image quality and build that will feel at home in the hands of enthusiast and pro photographers.

The Theta Z1 is what happens when you push the limits of what’s possible in a portable form factor 360 camera, both in terms of build materials and what’s going on on the inside. Like its more affordable, older sibling the Theta V, it shoots both stills and video in 360 degrees – but unlike the V, it does so using two 1-inch sensors – unprecedented for a 360 camera in this category. Sony’s celebrated RX100 series was pushing boundaries with its own 1-inch sensor in a traditional compact camera, and the Ricoh is similarly expanding the boundaries of 360 photography by including not just one, but two such sensors in its Z1. That translates to unmatched image quality for 360 photographers – provided you’re willing to pay a premium price to get it.

Design and build

The Ricoh Theta Z1 feels a lot like previous iterations of the Theta line – it’s essentially a handle with two big lenses on top, which is a pretty optimal design overall for a device you’re mostly going to be using to hold up and take 360 photos and video. It’s a bit bulkier than previous generations, and heavier, too, but it’s still a very portable device despite the increased size.

With the bulkier build, you also get a magnesium outer case, which is textured and which feels fantastic when held. If you’ve ever held a pro DSLR or mirrorless camera, then the feel will be familiar, and that says a lot about Ricoh’s target audience with this $1,000 device. The magnesium alloy shell isn’t only for making it feel like it’s worth what it costs, however; you also get big durability benefits, which is important on a device that you’re probably going to want to use in remote locales and off the beaten path.

The build quality also feels incredibly solid, and the button layout is simple and easy to understand. There’s a single shutter button on the front of the camera, just above an OLED display that provided basic info about remaining space for images or video, battery life and connection status. A single LED indicates both mode and capture status information, and four buttons on the side control power on/off, Wifi and Bluetooth connections, photo and video mode switching and enabling basic functions like a shutter countdown timer.

Using the hardware buttons to control the Theta Z1 independent of your smartphone, where you can remotely control all aspects of the camera when connected via WiFi and using the app, is intuitive and easy, and probably the way you’ll use the Z1 more often than not when you’re actually out and about. There’s little to worry about when it comes to framing, for instance, because it captures a full 360 image, and since you can handle all of that after the fact with Ricoh’s editing tools prior to sharing.

On the bottom, there’s a USB-C port for charging and wired data transfer, and a 1/4″ standard tripod mount for attaching the Z1 to tripods or other accessories. This is useful, because if you use a small handle you’ll get a better overall image, since the Z1’s software automatically edits out the camera, and, to some extent, the thing that’s supporting it. There’s also a small lug for attaching a wrist strap, but what you won’t find is a flap or door for a micro SD card – the Theta Z1 relies entirely on built-in storage, and offers just under 20GB of usable storage.

Still images

Ricoh’s Theta Z1 has two 1-inch sensors on board, as mentioned, and those combine to provide an image resolution of 670×3360. The camera caputres two 180-degree fields of view from each lens, and automatically stitches them together in software to produce the final image. The result is the sharpest, most color-accurate still photos I’ve ever seen from a 360-degree camera, short of the kind of content shot by professionals on equipment costing at least 10x more.

The resulting images do incredibly well when viewed through VR headsets, for instance, or when you use Theta’s own 360 viewer for web in full-screen mode on high-resolution displays. They also make it possible to export flat images that still look sharp, which you can crop and edit in the Theta+ app. You can create some truly amazing images with interesting perspective that would be hard to get using a traditional camera.

Indoors in low light situations, the Ricoh Theta Z1 still performs pretty well, especially compared to its competitors, thanks to those big 1-inch sensors. Especially in well-lit indoor environments, like in the restaurant example below, details are sharp and crisp across the frame and colors come out great.

In settings where a lot of the frame is dark or unevenly lit, as in the example at the Robot Restaurant in Tokyo below, the results aren’t nearly as good when operating in full automatic mode. You can see that there is some blur in the parts of the scene with motion, and there’s more grain apparent in parts of the frame, too. Overall though, the audience is pretty well captured and the colors still look accurate and good despite the many different tones from different sources.

The Ricoh Theta Z1 still does its best work in bright outdoor settings, however – which is true for any camera, but especially for cameras with sensors smaller than full-frame or APS-C. It’s still definitely capable enough to capture images you can work with, and that provide a great way to revisit great events or memories in a more immersive way than standard 2D images can accomplish.

You can adjust settings including aperture to optimize your photo capture, including choosing between f/2.1, f/3.5 and f/5.6, with higher apertures offering higher resolution images. The built-in lens has been designed to reduce ghosting, purple fringe artifacts and flare, and it does an outstanding job at this. RAW capture allows you to edit DNG files using Lightroom, and it works amazingly well with Lightroom mobile for advanced tweaks right on the same device.

Video

The Ricoh Theta Z1 does video, too – though the specs for the video it produces are essentially unchanged from the Theta V on paper. It can capture 4K video at 30 fps/56 mbps or 2K video at 30fps/16mbps, and live stream in both 4K and 2K. There’s a four-channel built in microphone for immersive audio recording, and it can record as much as 40 minutes of 4K or 130 minutes of 2K footage, though each individual recording session is capped at 5 minutes and 25 minutes for 4K and 2K respectively.

Ricoh has tougher competition when it comes to video in the 360 camera game – Insta 360’s One X has been a clear winner in this category, and has led to this camera even finding some fans when compared to action cameras like the GoPro Hero 7 and the DJI Osmo Action, thanks in large part to its fantastic built-in image stabilization.

The Ricoh Theta Z1 just frankly doesn’t impress in this regard. The sensors do allow for potentially better image quality overall, but the image stabilization is definitely lacking, as you can see below, and overall quality just isn’t there when measured against the Insta360 One X. For a fixed installation for real-time live-streaming, the Ricoh probably makes more sense, but video isn’t the device’s strength, and it’s a little disappointing given its still shooting prowess.

Features and sharing

The range of editing options available either via Theta+ or using the DNG files in both mobile and desktop phot editing software for the Theta Z1 is outstanding. You can really create and compose images in a wide variety of ways, including applying stickers and text that stick to the frame as a viewer navigates around the image. Sharing from the Theta app directly works with a number of platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and theta360.com, where you can get embeddable 360 images like those found in this post above.

Ricoh has done a great job making sure you can not only capture the best possible 360 images with this camera, but also share them with others. It’s also leading the pack when it comes to the range of options you have for getting creative with slicing up those 7K spherical images in a variety of ways for traditional flat image output, which is not surprising given the company’s heritage.

Bottom line

Simply put, the Ricoh Theta Z1 is the best 360 camera for still photos that you can buy for under $1000 – even if just squeaks under that line. It’s the best still photo 360 camera you can pick up for considerably more than that, too, given its sensor arrangement and other technical aspects of the device including its selectable aperture settings and RAW output.

The $999.95 asking price is definitely on the high end for this category – the Theta V retails for less than half that, as does the Insta360 One X. But I mentioned the Sony RX100 above, and the pricing is similar: You can get a compact camera for much less money, including very good ones, but the latest RX100 always commands a premium price, which people are willing to pay for the very best in-class device.

If want you want is the best still photography 360 camera on the market, than the Ricoh Theta Z1 is easily it, and if that’s the specific thing you’re looking for, than Ricoh has packed a lot of cutting edge tech into a small package with the Z1.

Source link

Ricoh’s Theta Z1 is the first truly premium consumer 360 camera Ricoh has a well-earned good reputation when it comes to building smart, technically excellent photographic equipment – including the almost legendary Ricoh GR series of pocketable APS-C cameras, which are a favorite among street photographers everywhere.

CES 2018: Checking in on new tech six months later

New Post has been published on https://nexcraft.co/ces-2018-checking-in-on-new-tech-six-months-later/

CES 2018: Checking in on new tech six months later

Every year, the Consumer Electronics Show—known simply as CES— hits the tech world like a tempest, flinging new gadgets and lofty promises throughout the industry. The fervor quickly fades, though, and we’re left to wonder which products will make it to market and what trends will fade away faster than a platter of free bagels in the press room at the convention center.

We’re now six months out from CES 2018, which makes this a great time to look back at the show and its new products to see what has happened since then.

Google Assistant is still gathering momentum

CES 2017 was a breakout year for Amazon’s Alexa digital assistant. The helpful, disembodied entity showed up in everything from speakers to appliances. The 2018 show proved a similar opportunity for the Google Assistant. One of the big promises on the Google Assistant front was a wave of “smart displays” from companies like JBL and LG, but those products are only just getting ready to trickle out here in July.

Smart screens have also busted out of their small frames a bit since CES 2018, too. Samsung announced a TV with “ambient mode,” which allows it to operate as a smart home hub when it’s off. It replaces a small, auxiliary screen by leveraging your main display when it’s not in use.

Of course, Alexa has continued to grow during this time as well, but we have also seen more and more gadgets that integrate a mixture of assistants. For instance, the new Sonos Beam soundbar, which debuted last month, works with Google Assistant, Alexa, and even Apple’s Siri.

The consumer drone market has gotten even sadder for everyone except DJI

DJI is the 4 million pound gorilla in the consumer drone market, which made its lack of a new UAVs at CES conspicuous. Later in January, however, DJI announced its backpack-friendly Mavic Air drone, which added to its dominance in the $500-$1000 drone market, where it owns a market share of more than 70 percent. Lower-end companies like MJX and Syma that primarily deal in sub-$250 toy-style drones likely breathed a sigh of relief that the DJI juggernaut didn’t move into the true entry-level, where other companies survive.

Phone notches are everywhere

The iPhone X debuted well before CES 2018, but we knew it was likely to cause some ripple effects across the smartphone industry. One question was whether or not other manufacturers would embrace the “notch,” which places the front-facing cameras within the boundaries of the phone’s screen, creating a small dead-zone in the display. Halfway through 2018, the notch is alive and well, finding its way into high-end phones like the LG G7, the OnePlus 6, the Huawei P20, and the Asus ZenFone 5. Android P, which Google announced back at its 2018 I/O conference, also has integrated functions to help developers accommodate those screen cutouts. Looks like the notch is sticking around.

OLED TVs still rule for now

There’s never a shortage of new TVs at CES, and 2018 was no different. When it comes to consumer displays, OLED is still well represented at the top, primarily thanks to its deep blacks and high contrast ratios. But, while OLED was still exotic technology as recently as the 2015 show, it’s relatively common now. Several manufacturers were touting their new processing tech, including the LG a9 chip and Sony’s X1 processor, both of which are built to handle UHD and HDR content.

Since CES 2018, the amount of content available in HDR and UHD has increased dramatically. The wave started back in 2017 with Netflix and other popular streaming services, but now it has become a normal occurrence, especially for original content designed for streaming.

In terms of the more concept-oriented displays, Samsung plans to start rolling out its massive and modular TV it calls “The Wall,” in just a few months. LG’s impressive roll-up OLED TV, however, is still without an official release date, if it ever comes to market at all.

We also saw 8K TV creeping into the mix, with its huge resolution and complete lack of content support from any major channel. While the trickle of 8K TVs is notable, it’s not likely to capture much market share at all for at least a few years.

We still don’t have robot butlers, even though companies are trying

CES 2018 was full of robotic faces. From LG’s uncooperative CLOi Hub Robot that misbehaved during the press conference to the Aeolus robot that’s ready to serve you a beer, the march toward robotic servants continues, if slowly. Still, we’re frustratingly far from the Rosie, the Robot future The Jetsons promised us decades ago.

Samsung is sneaking its digital assistant into homes with connected appliances

In the past few weeks, Samsung has started bringing its digital assistant, Bixby, to the forefront of its marketing efforts. The voice assistant debuted in the Galaxy S8 smartphone as an answer to the Google Assistant or Siri, but now it’s making its voice heard in appliances like the $3,300 Family Hub fridge, which also has a 21.5-inch touchscreen. Samsung’s 2018 smart TV lineup also has Bixby built-in as an integrated feature. So, while we haven’t heard much from Bixby so far, it’s increasingly clear that Samsung sees it as a wayto keep people within its own gadget infrastructure.

Oculus Go still overshadowed most of the other VR headset

Facebook introduced its battery-powered, portable VR headset in the Fall before CES 2018 for release the following spring. And while there were lots of new headsets to see at the show, the Oculus loomed over them. The HTC Vive wireless VR headset is poised for release any time now, which is a big step for one of the major players in the space. The rest of the market is still relatively fragmented. Oculus, Sony, and HTC implemented price cuts on their equipment in the summer of 2017, which helped push the market closer to mainstream acceptance, but the future of omnipresent VR, or even AR headsets, still seems at least a few years away.

A fatal accident caused a setback for self-driving cars

Autonomous vehicles were a frequent topic of conversation at CES 2018. Toyota said it wanted its self-driving taxi fleet running by 2020 and GM said that its fleet of modified Bolt vehicles will take to the streets some time in 2019. In March of 2018, however, a fatal accident involving a self-driving Uber and a pedestrian sent shock waves through the industry and spurred Uber to put its autonomous vehicle program on hold.

Other companies, like Nvidia put their self-driving car programs on-hold, as well. Some, however, continued ahead as planned, like Google’s Waymo, which announced plans to buy 20,000 vehicles from Jaguar to get its self-driving taxi fleet up and running by 2020.

How To Choose The Best Travel Camera (Plus Win A Free GoPro!)

How to Choose a Travel Camera

Travel Photography

After 7 years as a professional travel photographer & blogger, I keep getting asked what’s the best travel camera. There are so many to choose from! Here’s what I would pick, and why.

If you’re into photography, traveling the world with a good camera can help you bring back images that will stand the test of time — memories to share with family and friends for years to come.

Amazing travel photos are some of my most treasured souvenirs!

But what’s the best travel camera for capturing these special moments on your journey? There’s no easy answer to this question. Different people will have different requirements and budgets.

My goal with this digital camera buyers guide is to help you narrow down the overwhelming choices that are out there — and pick the perfect travel camera for your next trip.

Travel Camera Features

Size & Weight: Gone are the days when a bigger camera means a better camera. If you want to travel with your camera, you’ll want something small & lightweight.

Manual Settings: Photography professionals want the ability to fully control the settings of their camera so they can dial in the perfect shot in all kinds of different situations.

Megapixels: Many people assume that more megapixels is better. This isn’t always true. However more megapixels will give you higher detail, and allow you to “crop” your image without reducing quality.

Fast Lens: Lens aperture is measured in f/numbers, like f/1.4, f/2.8, f/4, etc. The lower the number, the better it will perform in low-light situations.

Zoom Range: A zoom lens lets you get closer to the action, especially for wildlife or people. But the bigger the zoom the bulkier a camera gets. How much zoom you want is a personal preference.

HD/4K Video: Most quality travel cameras will shoot video in HD 1080p. Some even have 4K capabilities — which honestly most people won’t need unless you’re doing professional work.

WiFi/Bluetooth Enabled: Some cameras have their own wifi network, allowing you to upload your photos instantly to your computer or smartphone.

Interchangeable Lenses: High-end mirrorless and DSLR cameras have interchangeable lenses, allowing you to pick the perfect lens for different situations.

What Do You Want To Capture?

When choosing the best travel camera for your needs, you must define what those needs are. Different cameras have strengths and weaknesses depending on what you’re using them for.

Are you looking for portability? Weatherproofing & ruggedness? Professional high-end image quality? Something reasonably priced? Are you going to be shooting more landscapes, wildlife, adventure activities, or people?

You often can’t have it all when it comes to travel cameras.

Keep reading below to learn the pros & cons for each type of camera, and which types of travel photography they work best for.

Point & Shoot Cameras

Point & shoot cameras have come a long way. As technology has improved, companies have managed to pack these pocket-sized cameras with tons of features. Some shoot 4k video and have manual settings, just like the more expensive ones in this list.

The big difference is the camera sensor is a bit smaller, and they don’t have interchangeable lenses.

In my opinion, a mid-range to high-end point & shoot is the best option for 75% of amature travel photographers. They combine the perfect mix of portability, power, and budget-friendliness.

Sony RX100 Series ($700 – $1000)

Sony RX100 V

The Sony RX100 V is my favorite point & shoot travel camera. It’s what I’d call a “professional” point & shoot. While it fits in my pocket, it has many of the same features as my larger primary mirrorless camera.

It’s a bit pricey at $1000, but you can also pick up older models like the RX100 III ($700) and RX100 IV ($850) for less. They also make reasonably priced underwater dive-housings for this line.

Canon PowerShot G7 X ($650)

Canon G7X II

The Canon G7 X is another fantastic point & shoot that’s great for travel photography. A bit less expensive than the Sony, it has fewer high-end features, but shoots great video with better on-board audio than the Sony. It’s a favorite for many YouTubers and Vloggers.

Best Action Travel Cameras

Action Cameras

Action cameras have really transformed the travel photography & video world over the years. These tiny, waterproof, indestructible cameras can go anywhere & record anything!

If you plan on hiking, mountain biking, surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, or even swimming under waterfalls during your travels, an action camera can create epic video & photos that you can share with others.

GoPro Hero 6 ($500)

GoPro Hero 6

The GoPro Hero 6 is GoPro’s best camera yet, with improved video stabilization, color, and 60p slow-motion 4k footage. It’s waterproof case and touch-screen will handle any adventures you can think up.

GoPro Hero Session ($200)

GoPro Session

The GoPro Session is GoPro’s smaller & cheaper model. Without a screen, this tiny cube can fit just about anywhere. On your helmet, in a glass of beer, even in your mouth! All kinds of ways to get creative.

Best Mirrorless Travel Cameras

Mirrorless Cameras

Larger than a point & shoot, but smaller than a DSLR, mirrorless digital cameras are all the rage right now. Even professional photographers are starting to switch over due to their small size and ability to produce high-quality images.

I use a mirrorless camera as my main travel camera. They offer more features than a point & shoot, like the ability to use interchangeable lenses, and a larger sensor with better low-light capability and detail.

Sony A7 Series ($1300 – $3200)

Sony A7ii

The Sony A7 II is one of the best travel cameras money can buy. Sony is on the cutting edge of camera technology lately, and other brands are having trouble keeping up. There are a few different models available.

The Sony A7S II is geared towards videographers, with extremely good low-light capabilities. The Sony A7R III is geared for professional photographers who want super-fast focusing and a giant full-frame sensor.

Fujifilm X‑T2 ($1500)

DSLR Cameras

Digital SLR Cameras (DSLR) wouldn’t be my first choice for a travel camera. I’ve included a few here, because some people still prefer the larger body.

However personally I think most people would be better off with a mirrorless camera these days. Especially if you are trying to keep your travel gear weight to a minimum.

Using Your Smartphone

Can you use your smartphone for travel photography? Of course you can! You’ll sacrifice a bit of quality due to the super small camera sensor in phones, but if you’re only publishing to the web, most people won’t notice.

Some smartphones can even shoot in RAW format these days. I travel with an iPhone 7+, but the Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel 2 also take amazing photos & video. Smartphones are also great backup cameras too.

What About Camera Lenses?

You honestly don’t need a million different camera lenses. When I first started, I only used a single general-purpose lens while I was learning.

If you have money to burn, then get two: a wide angle zoom and a telephoto zoom.

These two lenses will allow you to capture a mix of landscapes, portraits, and wildlife from a distance. However lugging around multiple lenses and changing them back & forth can be annoying if you’re new to photography.

To keep things easy, I’d recommend only one lens at first. Something with a decent focal range, around 18mm – 70mm.

When looking at a lens aperture, the lower the number, the better it will be in low light. F2.8 or F4 should cover you for most situations. If you want to shoot star photography, go with F2.8 or lower.

Drones For Travel Photography

Drones are incredible tools for capturing images & video in a totally different perspective. But this probably isn’t the most important travel camera for the average person.

Many places have restrictions on flying personal drones, for example US National Parks, and even entire countries. So you need to do your research to avoid heavy fines or confiscation.

If you REALLY want a drone, I’d recommend the DJI Spark for beginners. It’s tiny, pretty affordable, and very easy to use.

If you eventually want to make money from your drone photography, and have a larger budget, than you’ll completely fall in love with the more professional DJI Mavic Pro. You can see my review video here.

All My Camera Gear

What Travel Cameras Do I Use?

I actually travel with 4-5 different cameras on my adventures around the world. This is a bit overkill for most people.

However travel photography is how I make my living, so I invest in gear to help me accomplish my job. When I first started 7 years ago, all I used was a Canon 7D and a GoPro Hero.

Sony A7Rii – My main travel camera.

Sony RX100 V – This is my backup camera.

GoPro Hero 6 – Action camera for extreme sports.

GoPro Session – Backup action camera & B-roll footage.

DJI Mavic Pro – Drone for aerial photography & video.

The camera backpack I use is called a LowePro Whistler 350. It’s got room for a 15″ laptop, jacket, and incredibly fits all 5 travel cameras, lenses & some accessories if I need it to — great as an airplane carry-on.

Travel Photography Tips

I want to let you in on a little travel photography secret. Even if you have a top-of-the-line $10,000 camera, your photos aren’t going to be spectacular if you don’t know how to use it.

And I don’t mean pressing the shutter — I mean:

Learning how to shoot in manual mode

How to expose images properly

Adjusting your white balance

Framing shots for maximum impact

Paying attention to light

Post-processing your images with software

You don’t become a good photographer because you have a nice camera, your photography improves over time through practice, patience, and skills you learn from others.

So sure, invest in a new travel camera if you think you need it, but remember to invest money & time into learning new photography skills if you really want to create those jealousy-inducing images for your Instagram feed!

Here are some of my favorite beginner travel photography tips.
