technology is always changing and photography and in everything else these
days
and sometimes we have to move with it now
you know I'm used to my DSL as an SLR which been using for years and years and
years from setting up to speed
on the newer technology such as mirror less cameras you know there are some really
small quite cool looking camera so what is the future
of top-end photography you know for the enthusiast as well as for the
professional because
things are always moving to find out how I thought I come along and have a chat
with those really nice people
at London camera exchange
Hi Pete,Hi Mike, how you doing, good thanks,brilliant
brilliant thank you ever so much for that is have a look at some
cameras because you know I don't know anything about
the new sort of mirror less technology and what's moving forward things which i find
completely bizarre is that
I can point my phone straight into the Sun
your with an enormous dynamic range
and a phone with an Instagram pre-programmed that can just captured
masses of details in all areas again but like
D300 which is what 5 years old,6 years old
you know they struggle even shooting a raw file say like what's new in the
new technology
what what what you call this type of camera for stop call it officially is a
a compact system camera
we tend to call them CSC special
or mirrorr-less reason that called mirrors cameras
is because no mirrors inside them so imagine what your
SLR or DSLR you look for the prism system
and the viewfinder touchdown bounces from the mirror and the lens
with these if they have view finder on them
is based on electronic view finder it has a mini display screen in there
and then there's no mirror in the front and that's why they're so much
smaller
mmm are they any good thanks to me my experience in looking through cameras
with LCD is like I hate them
It's just me I hate them I kind of like NO it's like blah
yeah some people love it some people hate it and some people
really doesn't bother I am they've improved velocity over the years cause they've
been out few years now these mirroreless
systems and we find is there something in particular
Fuji is an excellent view finder very large very big very bright
some people just cant know it's a i electronic screen
They're lookin exactly
I'l have a look through obviously the dark is not for
my eyesight because I can't see
beep
Let's have a look, oh it took a picture I think
yeah you viewers its
I'm
as represented by Lorna
can i borrow one I'll play with it a bit later cause I mean I can't see a
things coz the dot is not set on my eyes
so uhm I mean that very beautiful looking cameras mean they look like
film cameras and like SLR they're taking it back always gona put a
retro edge to it
which is all people are after it brings it back to what is camera used to be
mmm I'm certain you or some of 'em You're looking sort of sony for instance
Trek wiki spindles on top you got your auto modes
and then you manual settings and then we look back across at the fuji
the top panel is completely different you've got your shutter
you got your ISO control your exposure compensation so
rather picking up one of the other cameras
go and ok you look at the menu to work out on what's going on settings and on
straight away the fuji you can pick it up you can see straight way what you're doing
and while your shooting and it's taking you back to what people used to know
how does that work though do you think the younger generation photographers alike
you know gits like me who grew up on manual wind on cameras
how this sort of things go down with
say people of the twenties thirties I think they like I 'em
I think we got the ability to adapt because
you might know some system you might be able to get on and love it but if i pick up
And i use it straight away, like what you're saying its quick and easy you can just see what you do straight off
and its almost easier to use this system
ones with spin wheel cause that's what we're used to with SLR, DSLR we've got to use to spin wheel
Yeah
absolutely so you got shutter aperture controls on front and backs
and they're just changing over now so is on here and it's on the lens as well
so I mean I love that because one on one big complaints particularly with
entry-level DSLR
is the the controls you need are often buried in a menu does address something
look at an LCD on the back
and I want it outside so that see shooting I just well you know
know your equipment you know what you doing you he's instinctive
you just kinda like you can almost do without looking like you do you drive a car
i do kinda like that so what about the tech
inside so what is the benefit
apart from size of the mirrorless
system and then majority of it is the size
if you imagine and apart from the size
sorry about that so very bright
you got the sensor technology so shoot alot expose on to
and once they get bigger senses
response better to light that's so why you find you know really
big expensive SLR DSLR or some cool full frame sensor
yeah lots of light exposed onto that
really image quality now high ISO performance exacltly right
good for low light,have any of these got a big sensor
yeah the sony for instance that is a full-frame sensor inside
so that is the same size on what you are shooting on your full frame SLR
is very much based around sort of the Nikkon
and D600 D610 very similar sort of capabilities
but size difference it's huge absolutely I'm so when you go traveling
that really high end
product and shots that you can take that's where is it coming into their own
and between these cameras here they all kind of have a twist them
and there is Sony great for low light
really great in that circumstances
has most big sensor too was APS-C not full frame
still the same size as with normal SLR so anything from entry-level to
intermediate level the other nice thing about it is it does perform very well
sort of auto focusing speed like that and weather sealed
on the Olympus this is what they call micro 4 3rds so its a smaller sensor
still not the same size as what is uhm as in compact camera
for instance so it doesn't mean this kinda work better sort of you got of light around
you're in a sunny bright
environment that might struggle a little bit
in low light yeah unless you're your gona start pumping the ISO up and the your gonna get
get grainy stuff
stuff cause you got a small sensor yeah so rule of thumb
bigger sensor better image quality but at the same time to process is inside
cameras which have as well so it's kind matching up
sort of partnership in that and we got Panasonic gh4
good image quality but what this is really dedicated to is the video
so if you do videography or anything like that this can shoot 4k huge resolution
what does 4k means
uhm all about mega pixels, Imagine you have
5-megapixels 10 megapixels 15 megapixels cameras
full HD back-biting 1920 and so that's
the size of image yes so HD video is 1920 1080
exactly right so than 4k four times the size of that
so imagine you've got a much much bigger resolution that's what this
capture so same principle with if you took
a very high resolution still you can crop in still
very good you image quality,you can use the same 4k now not
lot of people have 4k TVs coming still pretty expensive but we could do for instance
for this
you could use it to you post a because it will crop in your image
and still have a really good resolution you could manipulate its
crop in just on a certain section
gives you more of flexibility out of one camera, I mean high pixel density
the only real use
is the low light thing but that cause i don't wanna crop things up
but that's just me because I'm lazy
but also yeah I can also see that could be useful sort of changing a lens you
could
yet she film something one-shot and net migration a small in the middle but
he got that number of pixels in post you can then
crop in and bring it out and you still got HD
Ok. Got you So I mean
so that I mean obviously I guess processes
things like that inside these uhm moved on
and the technology processing the RAW into the Jpeg
and i'm assuming you can shoot RAW with all these
shoot RAW shoot Jpeg at the same time exactly its a lot
you've got what used to be called is bridge camera now
compact with one fix lens on a big zoom
you've got those and micro bridge cameras but essentially this is kinda taken that
bridge gaps
this is the gap between compact camera and SLR
but that cant be called a bridge, cause it already exist
they call it the compact system, do you think the system
I mean what would you say the advances of the DSLR
over saying something like this is what would you say that
would you say there's a benefit to a DSLR still always is gonna be personal
preference what technologies out there as well if you think about you wanna
pick ups
lenses so many lenses out there for DLSR at the moment
you know 5-10 years time is gonna be a massive ray of lenses
this system but this is still is not very fresh stock market
but still pretty new in terms of photography
so there's less out there for this system at the moment so people still like
digital SLR and also connect the really high end so
pros of SLR they shoot high frame per second , they shoot
better in low light they all designed to be the top ranking camera
yeah got you and then you kinda lead me neatly on question i have
would a DSLR lens fit on one of these,you can do it
and yes convert yea, it bulks up the camera massively
cause the lens are gonna be bigger but yea you can covert it to go
bulks up the gamma massively yea English translator
you talking to you a ladd
you're gona put a throne there, so it will lock
put a standard lens on there which is lot bigger than these lenses are
yes I yeah imagining you can put a
lot huge telephoto lens on here but you kinda take away from
benefit of small system so, comes down to personal preference, if you wanna be able to do it
but
the answer is yes you can, so what about the gamma man
gamma? no no camera oh camera! I thought you said the different GAMMA
gamma
I thought what's he talking about , whats Gamma, I thought gamma has to do with
brightness
okay my mistake
yeah yeah obviously kinda gets bulky but
hmm
its findings system which would suit your needs
and then taking it there if you came in and said we do this video you won't
want of these
create a video go down the route of what its for. cause that what's its perfect for
yeah if you want simple I like we go down the route full frame
because that's what it's designed for
get it's much much this is has pros and cons
so kind of you should there is a limit there is a kind of limitation
number lenses focal range
available will what sort of focal range is available for these
at the moment looking up to about 300 mm sort of range
I'm so good but the zoom is still there, they're starting at
sort of 70s uhm
yeah know by 72 to 300mm f the other end
at the other end they go all the way down to fish eye they do it just now
but you've got prime lenses for each systems as well
hate wrong lenses It's just a thing i mean i know that the image quality is
stunning and you can always crop if you gonna
pixel but I much prefer a good quality zoom is that I can composing cameras and just
do it mind go that'll work flow thing I guess
I mean I'm to achieve everything on a prime lens because the the image quality
realistically you cant do it
and also the destination pictures most people stick it on Flickr and
have it on their computer
exact you need some little dots per inch
but yeah gotcha okay so we go great focal range with these
uhm what do we got on the fuji 18 to
55 classic 1855 uhm
but this aperture on this for instance so it is a classic 18-55
but don't see it as a kit lens
its an F 2.8 - 4 so its a really a good lens that's a F 2.
8 lens, Yes that comes as standard as a kit lens,
the kit lens but you cant really say it is.
got you, so you got like
F 2.8 is that across the board no its not, no these lenses comes sort of
standards down check what they are , but yeah you're looking at
F 3.5 to 5.6 say that's more than standard kit lens,
but fuji is a sided checking down the route giving you something which is
you know that's astonishing
so Ok let's just have a quick look at price to say something like that
that's a box standard the fuji kit yes with the
18 to 55 F 2.8 lens
on a the same sort of size sensor as my
d300s yes exact got you so it's a fairly wide angle on a
yeah crop sensor uhm price
it's about thousand pounds on the body I have to bear with me prices oh
ball park it doesn't matter
looking probably about fifteen hundred about 1500 yeah it's okay so this is
comparable to
a what D600 yeah
we're moving into the realm of second-hand d800
go talk in Nikkon because I don't know by heart how much
yea you're looking so 5dmark to
to from canon for instance but those would be body only
so from the same sort of price, yea
yea the kit for instance, yea gotcha, so i mean you got
a top spec professional image quality
two-way very very small camera
with full manual and i see you got normal program functions such as sony's also
aperture whatever aperture Priority shot all that stuff, if you knew nothing at all
you can pass, who's the man making noises with all these windows, shhm
hahaha I sorry guys
from no he still gonna work here
okay that's really fascinating and you're all that and after about 1500 pounds
obviously not a cheap camera
but you've got some top specs, you got a
a compact oh you got 2.8 lens which I'm really interested in
uhm the easy controls from the look of it
and shoots video exactly and its small
you know is perfect for personal , you came in and you said to me im a photographer
obviously you know image quality is everything which means
anything to me but im going traveling through a year I don't want take my SLR with me
first point contact would be a system like this
yeah because it's too easy that flexibility on what you used to and the image quality
and the image quality but it is much more really interesting and Im going off travelling running a
workshop across Burma sea
Im gonna have a little chat with Andy and see if we can do a little film match to one of
these fuji's
uhm that's brilliant thank you so much! for talking to us
uhm would it be okay if we went out and had a double play in the street and
not likely frog no i mean you know
but yeah let's gonna have a little play im gona play with that fuji,
I'm really interested in that okay that's for your talk
thanks for showing us around, will gonna have a play in the street, you know what?
