![]() |
| Image: hdslrshooter.com |
Another war in Digital SLR cameras.
Why Nikon and Canon cameras are always compared? Why Canon or Nikon cameras are rarely compared to other brands? In the professional camera market, Nikon and Canon is always a matter of discussion, the author reviews a lot of photography, even a novice and professional photographer’s consideration before they decide to buy a new camera. Maybe you want to know the comparison between the Canon EOS 1 DX and Nikon D4.
Nikon D4 camera called the Canon EOS 1DX competitor, and had a warm conversation on the Internet. Nikon D4 equipped with a sensor of 16.2 MP, 11fps burst mode and ISO 100-102400 which can be maximized to 50-204800. Nikon D4 supported by CF + XQD memory card and is compatible with Nikon wireless transmitter, WT-5.
For those who like to make videos, Nikon D4 offers 1080p HD video recording at 30fps and 720p at 60 fps. The experience is enriched video recording with manual control during shooting. Users are also free to change the aperture when in action. Noise reduction and headphone jack have completed this video feature. Nikon D4 weighs 2:29 a pound is wrapped with a magnesium-alloy; this camera is certainly very strong and weather resistant.
Nikon D4 use EXPEED processor 3 and an ISO that automatically adjust the focal length. Speed mode burst achieve 10fps in full resolution, with continuous autofocus. Nikon D4 also features face detection, and AF points 51 points and much more. Is the Nikon D4 could be a direct competitor of Canon EOS 1DX?
In comparison, the Canon EOS 1DX equipped with 18MP resolution, and maximum ISO 256,000. Physical form stout and sturdy camera, no impression at all toys. Camera grip mat that is not easy to escape from the grip. This camera has a lot of buttons. There are also two buttons that are easy to use joystick to change the setting or the focal point. There is also a shutter button, AF-ON, an additional autofocus for easy vertical shooting.
Canon EOS 1DX autofocus feature 61 point / point, so the camera will automatically select the focus point. This feature is useful for your first time using a full frame camera from Canon's.

If you use this Canon camera, so if you make a film or video, it will be very spoiled with the 'working space' around 4GB video file. This camera will automatically create a new file when it reaches the boundary where the old model will stop first.

Once you see the comparison above,
I suggest you do not need to be affected by the debate on the forums, and other myths have you heard between Canon and Nikon.
You must have a strong personal principle. You are going to be a user of the camera, so you have to be a master who had a strong belief, whether you will choose Canon or Nikon.

You are also free to choose another camera like the Pentax K-30 or other cameras like the Olympus E-5, Sony Alpha A77; you can even glance at the cameras manufactured by Sigma, SD 15 or SD1.
Sony Alpha A99, the first DSLT Full-Frame Camera
We know Sony as an electronics maker that is very innovative in the world. Of course you also know that Sony's smartphone products are highly regarded by its competitors. Sony is also increasingly known for its camera. In addition to producing point and shoot camera or compact cameras, and Mirrorless camera, Sony also serious to produce a semi-professional camera and professional camera.

Now Sony makes a surprise since Sony released the new Sony Alpha A99 camera. Camera Sony Alpha A99 comes with an impressive 24.3 Megapixel resolution with support Bions processor that can produce perfect image quality and detail. Apparently Sony Alpha A99 is a Full-Frame camera DSLT*) first in the world. This is a very exciting development for the photographer who had been in the vortex of Digital SLR cameras that you already know Canon and Nikon.
Sony Alpha A99 camera also uses super advanced technology with the technology translucent Mirror reflected light can penetrate 70% and reflects 30% of light to the phase detection AF sensor.
Unlike other full frame camera, the Sony Alpha A99 is a full frame camera that carries the world's first Translucent Mirror Technology. Armed with Exmor R CMOS sensor resolution of 24.3 megapixels, this camera is also supported by the BIONZ processor for image processing and video support.

The use of technology and BIONZ processor Translucent Mirror Sony Alpha A99 makes can shoot at speeds up to 10fps, produces RAW images with 14-bit output, and can record video in Full HD resolution and has a high sensitivity up to ISO 25,600.
Sony's new technologies do not forget presented. Like for example autofocus system that carries the dual AF. Dual AF focus system combines 19 points with phase detection autofocus sensor that can determine a continuous focus. As a result, Sony Alpha A99 can focus very quickly and accurately.

The camera is also equipped with autofocus AF-D feature that allows you to define a continuous focus for easy shooting a moving subject. This new feature is suitable and can be used with a range of Sony lenses as Sony SAL2470Z, SAL2875, SAL50F14, SAL300F28G2, SAL70400G and SAL500F4G. With the latest firmware update, Sony will increase the number of lenses will support autofocus AF-D feature.
To compose a photo, the Sony Alpha A99 is equipped with an electric aperture XGA OLED Tru-Finder as you find on the Sony NEX-7 and the flexible LCD screen that can be folded and rotated to shoot with an extreme angle. Shooting can be done in various locations whatsoever.

If you want to make a video or a movie, the Sony Alpha A99 is designed for optimal video recording. The camera is equipped with anti-noisy multi-controller on the front body, and 2 memory card slot that supports Memory Stick Pro Duo and SD / SDHC / SDXC. Both slots may be used directly in the recording video simultaneously. If one has the storage media is full, the camera will automatically switch to a second storage media without disturbing the camera to stop filming.
Sony Alpha A99 marketed in October 2012 with a price tag of U.S. $ 2,800 (body, without lens). The prices are quite competitive. You can compare it with other full frame cameras from Nikon and Canon.
*) SLT stands for "Single Lens Translucent", with the cameras incorporating TMT (Translucent Mirror Technology), a translucent mirror that allows roughly 70% of the light entering through the lens to pass directly through it and onto the imaging sensor, while a smaller amount, around 30% is reflected up to the camera's phase detection autofocus (AF) sensor. This means that the mirror, rather than flipping out of the way as in a traditional SLR camera, remains fixed in place, speeding up the time taken to record a shot and allowing for fast, full-time phase detection AF.
Other advantages of the design include less camera shake due to the mirror not moving, no viewfinder blackout during shooting, and settings such as exposure compensation and ISO can be more easily viewed on the electronic viewfinder. (The terms and explanations of SLT quoted from www.techradar.com).
