Press release:
The previously leaked Sony DSC-HX50V camera is now officially announced. Sony knows how to make small compact cameras and claims that this is "the world’s smallest, lightest digital still camera that packs a powerful 30x optical zoom range". The HX50V will start shipping on May 21 with a price tag of $448 and can currently be pre-ordered at Amazon.
Technical specifications:
The Ricoh GXR camera body, GRX + S10 lens kit and GRX + A16 lens kit are all listed as discontinued. The GXR system was announced in November 2009 but since the modules where the sensor is located are interchangeable, it remains to be seen if Ricoh will decide to upgrade the camera body.
The Ricoh GXR camera body is also no longer listed at Adorama.
In today's guest post Brian Hirschfeld will discuss Multistich - a simple device for 4x5 cameras that will help you generate large format digital files for commercial photography:
In my humble report from PDN PhotoPlus 2013 I had the opportunity to meet and briefly interview Myko, the creator of Multistitch. The YouTube video I did at this time gave a brief overview of the product's essential functions. Today, I am here to present you with a much more in-depth look at Multistitch and its functions.
On March 7th, I had the opportunity to further interview Myko the creator of Multistitch at Fotocare in NYC. Fotocare has many interesting events which I would highly-reccomend since they usually bring in unique products for demos which go beyond the standard Nikon or Canon rep coming to town. It was an especially miserable day out weather wise so if you were not able to make it, the video presentation covers this material. Also at the end of this article, there will be a link to a Dropbox folder with the sample images from this article.
According to their own survey, Canon announced that they have been holding the #1 spot in market share for digital cameras with interchangeable lenses for 10 consecutive years:
