How Will the New Nikon D5200 compete in the entry-level D-SLR market?

By Jeremy Bayston

When Nikon launch the D5200, they will, of course, hope to blow the opposition away. However, Nikon's rivals have a lot to offer and shouldn't be ignored. Even if the D5200 satisfies current wish lists and more, there are other cameras out there that should be considered before you make your choice. File size is going to be important, and if the D5200 gets a 24Mp sensor, then it will lead its class, sharing the top spot with the D3200, which must now be considered as a rival stablemate. It will also be expected to increase it's burst speed from 4FPS to something more sporty, but not all photographers care about that - some preferring a camera that can provide quality images in low light, or wanting a more competent focussing system. Movie mode is an important consideration when buying a new camera, especially if you are a professional looking for a good back up body. The D5200 will be expected to offer a range of frames per second options at least, to go with the external stereo mic and HD quality video. However other cameras in this range offer good value on the movie front. These are the other D-SLR cameras you should consider before buying the new D5200.

THE NIKON D5100 - When Nikon announced the D3200, they also confirmed that the D3100 would still be available and so it's fair to assume that the D5100 will still be on offer for a while after the D5200 launch. It is also likely to be cheaper. The D5100 is a great camera, user friendly and with superb image quality, both stills and video. The articulated screen makes shooting at high or low angles so much easier and the external stereo Mic give good sound quality to add the HD video. The 16MP file, when combined with Nikon lenses, is really all most of us will need and the ISO span, which extends to 25,600 is splendid. It handles noise well and give tremendous image detail. 4FPS burst speed is a little slow, these days, but apart from that this camera is well worth the money.

THE NIKON D3200 - Nikon have really astonished the photographic community with this ' entry-level' camera that seems to want to compete with pro-level bodies. The 24 MegaPixel sensor is remarkable in a camera of this price and had put every other beginner-level camera in the shade. The external Mic (for stereo recording) and HD video make this a great starter for photographer and videographer alike. The solid ISO rating - up to 6400 - and shutter speed range make this flexible and versatile camera the current leader of it's class.

THE CANON EOS 650D/Rebel T4i - This is another recent launch and a very competent performer. The 650D/Rebel T4i gives the impression that it has come to dominate the field and leave no prisoners. The 18MP file is smaller than the D3200, but not significantly (the D3200's file at 24MP is in fact only 16% larger as the size increase is not linear), and in most cases it would be impossible to differentiate between the two. Again Canon recognize that users may want to shoot stills and video and have given the 650D full HD video and good quality stereo sound. The D5100 has a useful articulated screen and the Rebel T4i goes a step further by supplying an articulated touch screen. Canon have obviously been studying what has succeeded in the CSC market and have included the innovative contrast auto-focus system for the 650D. Whilst many other functions are similar to the 600D, there is enough here to give the 650D/Rebel T4i serious consideration.

THE CANON EOS 600D/ Rebel T3i - Up until the arrival of the 650d/ Rebel T4i, this was canon's flagship model in this market. It does offer a good range of features at a fair price. The 18 Megapixel file size was the largest around until matched by the the 650D and beaten by the D3200, and it is quite big enough for almost any requirement. The Canon lenses ensure that the image quality is superb. Like the D5100, it too has an articulated viewing screen, which is handy for shooting the HD video. The 9-point autofocus lets the camera down slightly and the 3.7 Frame Per Second burst speed seem quite pedestrian these days. All together though, this is a very competent camera from an excellent brand.

THE CANON EOS 1100D/Rebel T3 - The is the most basic D-SLR supplied by Canon. It offers 12 MegaPixel files, 9-point autofocus and is a great way to take the step up from compact or bridge cameras. The onscreen functions guide is really useful and intuitive and helps the novice find their way around the technology. However the video is only 720pp which, these days, is only good enough for the web. Nikon won't regard this as a serious contender to the D5200 as it is aimed at someone who is at the very beginning of their D-SLR experience.

THE PENTAX K-30 - For a company outside the mainstream of D-SLR production, Pentax have a reputation for producing excellent cameras that do the simple things superbly. The K-30 is designed for the outdoors. It is made of toughened plastic and has been completely weather-sealed. the image quality is very good and the the autofocus options are quite varied. The 16MP file size just about keeps it in contention. This is one of only a few cameras that offer full 100% view through the viewfinder, meaning that you can effectively crop as you shoot. The buffer will allow up to 30 frames to be shot at 6FPS, which is pretty impressive and the HD video offers a choice of frame rates, 24, 25 or 30. Pentax have long pushed versatility on the battery front and an adaptor will allow you to use AA batteries. Price with 18-55mm lens 650/ $900

THE PENTAX K-r - This is a much smaller and lighter camera than it's sibling the K-30, but offers some excellent functionality for an entry-level D-SLR. It's a tough little camera which offers a class-leading shutter speed of 1/6000 and can push ISO up to 25,600. This makes it a good performer on low light conditions and at freezing the action. However, the video function, whilst HD, shoots at 16:9 ratio, which can restrict your options and there is not external mic function, recording in-camera and in mono. There are some good modes for the novice and they are easy to follow in the camera. It can run on AA batteries. Price with lens 400/ $760

THE SONY ALPHA 57 - Whilst the D-SLR is a well established format, it isn't the only one available. For those who want to take a walk on the wild-side there is the SLT. Instead of bouncing the light off a mirror, the SLT is semi transparent and allows some of the light through. this effectively splits the light available between the sensor and the viewfinder/back screen. Although this sounds odd to the single reflex purists, the technology is well established in the Sony range and can produce pretty good image quality. The 16 Megapixel files are fairly robust, though do seem to suffer slightly in low light and sometimes need some work. However, the A57 has a terrific burst speed of 10 frames per second - more with smaller files - and offers either 25 or 50 FPS when shooting Hd video. ISO of 16,00 and a very clever digital zoom function make A57 a very competent camera. Price 500/ $700

THE SONY ALPHA 37 - This recent launch aims to put Sony back on the beginner level map again. It is fairly basic, but has some innovative functionality. It also is a SLT camera and has a maximum ISO of 16,000. Burst speed can get up to 7FPS, though for full size frames, is set to 5.5FPS. The in-camera zoom function can double your lens length with hardly any quality loss. It has a useful tiltable screen and HD video. Price $550/ 400

LCD vs LED. Is the LED really worth the extra money?

By Andrew Perez

Have you at some point found yourself walking throughout the aisles of an electronics store feeling utterly bewildered because you don't know what the differences are between all the televisions? Have you then attempted asking a salesman regarding the differences, only to wind up receiving a non informative, non descriptive reply? If you've scratched your head repeatedly because you simply don't understand, then you've come to the right place. I am going to go into full detail as to what are the exact differences between an LCD and an LED HDTV. Once you are done absorbing the facts in this article, you'll become a complete expert on the matter. Then you could return to the electronics store you were previously at and show the sales reps a thing or two.

Don't be fooled; an LCD is actually an LED:

Before I dig into the details, let me clear something up on this whole TV discussion. An LED is the same as an LCD because both TVs use what's called liquid crystal display. This means that both HDTVs operate utilizing liquid crystal display flat panels to project their picture. The actual difference when comparing both TVs is the type of back lighting that each one uses. Besides that, there really is no such thing as a television that is LED only. So now that we've made things a little clearer, you can now start classifying both TVs as an LCD and an LED-LCD TV.

What are the different types of back lighting?

As I said earlier, the important difference between both HDTVs is the kind of back lighting they use. An LCD utilizes what's called a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (ccfl) for background lighting. The fluorescent lamps use a plastic shield in front of the censors to efficiently distribute its light. LED stands for light emitting diode, which are very similar to the lights on a Christmas tree, only much smaller. This is where the comparison between LCD vs LED starts to unravel when comparing the picture quality. The LEDs are situated in rows and unlike the LCD; it does not utilize a plastic shield to display its light. The newer LED models function using cleverly placed censors in the LED and the crystal display to control the picture being transmitted. These sensors are used to detect the 1's and 0's data that is being emitted and modifies the color being shown pixel by pixel, so it's capable of using its lighting more adequately. An easier way to understand this concept is to think of flip sunglasses. These sensors operate in the equivalent way that flip glasses work, only utilizing various shading variations. By utilizing this kind of technology on an LED HDTV, you are capable of experiencing much deeper blacks, sharper image color and a more realistic picture. This is the main reason an LED can offer you a much more vibrant image. So from now on when you refer to the LCD vs LED debate, what you are actually talking about is LED back lighting vs fluorescent back lighting.

What does full backlit and edgelit mean?

There are generally two ways an LED television utilizes back lighting. Backlit and edgelit. The key benefit on the full backlit television is that it is used to increase the contrast levels by turning off and on the chosen LEDs and utilizing a function referred to as local-dimming. This boosts the total amount of blacks in particular areas of the image.

The edgelit's prime advantage is that it gives the HDTV the ability to be excessively slim, which makes them significantly lighter and simple to hang or maneuver. Unlike the full backlit, the edgelit uses LEDs placed on the edges instead of behind the panel. A lot of the most current edgelit LED models now offer local dimming as well. Though, you should bear in mind that the edgelit offers fewer dimmable sections in comparison to the full backlit LED. The difference is quite noticeable, kind of like comparing hundreds to thousands. Overall, the full backlit LED can produce more detail in color and improved local dimming.

A little more on local dimming:

Television sets have certainly come a long way since the old tube and analog times. All LED TVs that have the local dimming feature are effective in analyzing really dark parts of the picture. This allows more detail to be displayed on the darker scenes. Local dimming responds by turning off certain pixels, allowing you to obtain a significantly better contrast ratio and deeper levels of black. The pixels turn off and on suddenly as a result of what the ambient lighting is like. Think of it like when you are enjoying a good flick on your television with the sun rays beaming through your window, or the room light glaring right on your TV screen. The LED TV consciously modifies the attributes of your picture quality appropriately, so you are then able to keep seeing the picture on your LED screen uninterrupted. It is indeed a really nice feature to have I must say. LCD only televisions don't carry this option.

Is the LED really worth it?

To be frank, I actually don't think this argument is still current, since soon all TVs will be LEDs (LCD-LED). As technology progresses, LEDs keep getting significantly more high tech. LCD only TVs are yesterday's news and will pretty soon be obsolete. To sum it up for you, these are the key points to consider when buying and LED as opposed to an LCD. LEDs use less power, offer a much faster response time than fluorescent lighting, offer local dimming, are lighter, and offer overall better quality picture.

Once they know this they are forced to think about how they are going to pay for their education, their housing, and all of the supplies.

Anyone who wants to working in filming has a lot of things that they are looking for and have to think about. It is not a program that is known for being easy and sometimes if the student wants to earn a degree, they must do a variety of additional classes. However there are times when they get to partake in activities that they want.

When the sun is shining bright, and there is not a cloud in the sky, many people think it is the perfect setting for outdoor photographs. They couldn't be more wrong! If you take any photos in direct sunlight, you are sure to ruin your images. Direct sunlight not only causes glare and unpleasant shadows, but it also creates irregular highlights and makes your subjects squint if they facing the sun. If possible, always choose early morning or late evening light when shooting outdoors.

You can capture all sorts of emotions and feelings with photography. The most effective pictures are those that capture people in their most authentic state. Some of the most moving moments in photographic history have not been smiles but rather anxiety, oppression, and fear. No matter what the occasion is for taking the photo, make sure that the emotions recorded are real.

When photographing landscapes, create a sense of depth. Create a good sense of scale with the use of a recognized object in your foreground. You can get decent focus on both foreground and background objects by using a small aperture setting: Something under f/8 with a standard digital camera or f/16 when using a full-frame SLR.

Download photo editing software at no cost, and find out what it can do. Both professional and amateur photographers take advantage of editing software so don't be embarrassed about using it yourself. The end goal is to have your pictures looking the best they can. A few changes can make a plain picture look artistic. with a couple of alterations.

Always set white balances yourself. You can be in control of your own lighting and exposure if you choose your own settings for white balance. Messing around with the white balance can take out the yellowing of subjects that are bright from incandescent bulbs, and it can even change the entire mood of the picture.

The ISO, aperture and shutter speed are an important part of photos so make sure you know the combination that works best for you. Together, these features interact to determine the photograph's exposure levels. You do not want to wind up with underexposed or overexposed photos unless you are aiming for that. Experiment with these features to find out how they interact with each other and what kind of combination you like to use.

If there's too much sunlight, the sun might cast shadows over your subject's face or in other undesirable places. Try using a flash when taking outdoor pictures to correct for sunlight. When you fail to use your flash in these settings, the result can be a loss of detail and subjects being lost in the shadows.

Cell phone cameras are increasing in quality, but there are still lighting issues. They often don't have a flash, so you must set up your picture so that you won't need one. Zoom helps to keep strong light sources out of the shot.

If you want top of the line photos, you should invest in a top of the line camera. Consider getting a digital single lens reflex camera, or a dSLR, if you plan on taking high-quality or professional photographs. Successful photographers pay close attention to the type and quality of the equipment they purchase, so it would behoove you to do the same.

Adjusting the camera's focus or varying the lighting levels are just two of the brilliant things you can do to produce breathtaking images. If you use different focus and lighting, you can see what it can do for your photographs.

Described Video For The Visually Impaired: Where To Locate

By Todd Bolinger

For the visually impaired it is often hard to use the video presentations that are offered both online and on the television. Though it is hard to get the full benefit of visual stimuli, it is not wholly impossible. With the use of what is typically described as a descriptive video, the visually impaired can benefit from all video genres. It is important that before you or an individual you know searches out a descriptive video that you understand what it is exactly.

A descriptive video is a video that is either narrated or described in real time as it is being shot or that is dubbed later with narration to let those that can not see the video recording know what is taking place at each juncture. In some situations these videos may have the original narration or voices dubbed over by the description in order to better describe what is going on. In most cases however, if the video had narration or voice talent to begin with, the video presentation is simply paused or suspended for a moment so that the narrator can describe the previous action.

Descriptive videos are surprisingly beneficial for a variety of reasons. The first is that even though the visually impaired listener can hear what is going on, there are often body language and additional visual cues that change or add to the meaning of the words being spoken. By having a description of what is going on visually, the listener can then meld the two and get a clearer image of what is really happening.

This kind of media can be discovered in several different locations, the first and most typical is on the web. Because the net is a conglomeration of a number of sources it is extremely simple to find this type of video both on sites for those that are not visually impaired and on specialized websites that cater to those with a visual impairment. Websites like YouTube, Vevo, and other video sites may have descriptive videos that are shot by both professionals and novices that can be exceptionally useful.

If you are looking for a specific sort of video with a specific material like law for example you may want to look for video presentation series that are made especially for the visually impaired. It is possible to request special videos or information from universities, law firms, in addition to other sources. There are also description services that can help you to see films, television shows, and a lot more, a website like http://descriptivevideoproductions.com offers description services for the content that you submit to them. This means that you choose what is described and they provide dubbing for the videos, clips, and films that you ask for. Costs for this service differ depending on the content that is being dubbed.

Tips On How To Get Great Looking Photos

By Rick Whyte

Is photography something that interests you but you do not know how to go about getting started? Are you unsure of how to set up the perfect shot? Even if you are an experienced photographer, new ideas and suggestions can always help, and this article's advice can be quite handy.

Anything from a sink to a pencil can help you experiment with composition and form. It is up to you how different and unique your photograph is. Try challenging yourself to make them more and more interesting.

If you're shooting fast moving subjects, select camera settings that will clearly show your subject instead of leaving it blurry. This can be accomplished by increasing the ISO setting on your camera, and it's best to experiment a lot with this, until you get a feel for the right ISO setting for the effect you are after. You will also have clearer shots of quick subjects.

Pay close attention to minor details such as aperture, film speed, and shutter speed if you want to have the very best results. Learn about exposure to improve your overall photography.

To create images that stand out from the ordinary, try photographing from different viewpoints. Taking a straight, head-on photo of a subject can be effective, but the alternatives available are nearly endless.

You might also find that angled or side shots create a distinctive photographic experience.

There are times when the lighting cannot give you the right look for an outdoor picture. Sometimes, it is difficult to find a more suitable area for this type of photo. How do you solve this dilemma? Learn how to properly use image editing programs in order to properly post process your images.

When photographing nature and landscapes, always be aware of your surroundings. Appreciate the beauty in nature, and ensure that you leave no traces when you've finished. If you find a great photographing location, maintain it in its original state for others to use.

As you read earlier, a great photo takes a moment in time and creates an image that is forever held dear. Though photographs are merely printed on paper, they can be the things we prize more than any other possession. By using the ideas here when taking pictures, you will find your skill growing and reflected in the beauty of your photos.
