Red Pentax K-r DSLR camera body description

Compared to Pentax K-x, Pentax K-r DSLR camera looks and feels solid. Another obvious difference is the wider leather delivers much texture and more comfortable handfeel. There is a “SR” sign on the lower left side, which means Shake Reduction function. The symbol PENTAX is so prominent while the K-r is small

We also find that MF / AF switch rod is set near the lens marked with white and green fonts.

We all know that Pentax is very powerful in terms of lens coatings and K-r lens adopts Ghostless coating. Even in backlight conditions, K-r can restore the lifelike image. It could be a little pity that the lens mount is made of plastic material.

Pentax’s switch, shutter button, the “small green dot” (custom shortcut key), and the mode dial are placed on the upper right side. The shutter makes proper rebound and the mode dial provides a quick set of various commonly used scene modes for user to fast switch. The same as Pentax K-x, K-r DSLR camera provides SV model which is ISO priority mode switched by thumb wheel directly.

The back side of Pentax K-r DSLR camera is very simple and neat with a 3-inch 92 million pixel LCD on the left. The LCD both delivers refined image and provides convenient Live View shooting in the low and high angle with the 170-degree viewing angle. Flash button is set at the top of the screen and track wheel, AF button, the preview button, Live View button, Info button, menu button, and five-dimensional arrow keys from top to bottom on the right side.

The memory card slot and data wire slot are set on both sides of Pentax K-r. Pentax K-r supports SD and SDHC memory card.

We find the battery slot at the bottom. Pentax K-r DSLR camera is equipped with rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI109 randomly, which will shoot 560 pieces of photos claimed by the official. Of course we can also use four AA batteries which will shoot 1600pieces of photos. With the alternative way of rechargeable battery and AA battery, Pentax K-r becomes convenient to carry. And the long battery life ensure you to enjoy the shooting.

Pentax K-r DSLR camera measures approximately 125mm x 97mm x 68mm (not including protrusions) and weighs about 598g (including batteries and SD memory card). Pentax K-r looks very small in hand, and its lightweight and portable advantages allow you to have a relaxing travel.

Pentax K-r Test chart ISO speed test

An extended range of 100 – 25,600 ISO is offered and at all settings any noise pattern is crisp and clean. At the maximum setting in daylight the appearance is similar to a very fast film, but with very sharp grain structure. In lower light the appearance is softer, but action stopping images in ridiculously dark places become a possibility. For normal picture making, it is only at 6400ISO that any real deterioration sets in. I am happy that for the highest quality images up to 800ISO would be fully usable and that in the proper circumstances all the speed available could be put to good use. This is a new benchmark of capability for Pentax in an area being furiously fought over by all the manufacturers.

Canon EOS 60D designed for those photography enthusiasts who want to take their skills to the next level.

Canon EOS 60D vs 50D: Key Differences

Placing the 50D alongside the 60D it becomes clear that the new camera is not a simply a direct upgrade but a repositioned model. The most obvious difference is that it’s smaller and, of course, no longer features a metal body.

• Higher resolution sensor (17.9MP vs. 15.1MP)
• Accepts SD, rather than CF memory cards
• No flash sync socket
• Wireless Speedlight control
• Articulated 3:2 high resolution LCD screen
• Plastic body shell (8% weight saving)
• Standard ISO range extends to 6400, rather than 3200
• User-definable Auto ISO upper limit
• HD video recording 1080 p30/25/24 or 720p60/50 plus cropped 640 x 480 movie mode
• New features: in-camera raw conversion, ambience settings, creative filters, more JPEG options
• No joystick, no multi-flash support, simplified top plate & info panel, only one Custom mode, no AF micro-adjust
• Slightly reduced customization options
• Redesigned control layout with slightly fewer buttons

Design

Canon EOS 60D made of plastic rather than magnesium alloy that always used on SLR camera manufacturing. The 3.0-inch 1.04 million pixels screen is one of the standout features of Canon EOS 60D, which can be rotated easily. It is no exaggeration to say that Canon EOS 60D sporting the most advanced screen in SLR class cameras.

Sensitivity test:

Canon EOS 60D gets effective 18 megapixels, which be able to shoot 5184 × 3456 pixels large size picture. As CMOS dimensions remain unchanged, the effective pixel soared, making the single pixel reduced to about 4.3 × 4.3 microns in its sensor.

We all know that the smaller the sensor pixels and pixel density bigger, the more difficult to suppress the noise of an image. Therefore, in order to avoid the quality decline, Canon EOS 60D has applied gapless microlens to increase condensing rate and brand new processing technique in CMOS image sensors semiconductor manufacturing, which improves the photodiode’s aperture ratio and optimizes transistors, enhancing the signal to noise ratio. All of the above suppress the noise effectively and thus making the highest ISO 12800 available.

Canon Powershot SX30 IS Review

Canon Powershot SX130 IS Review

Canon Powershot SX30 IS features 35× long zoom(equivalent to 24 – 840mm on a 35mm camera), 14.1-megapixels with CCD sensor. Fujifilm FinePix HS11 comes with a shorter zoom lens that is 30× long zoom(equivalent to 24 – 720mm on a 35mm camera), 10.3 megapixels and BSI-CMOS sensor. When the latest two long zoom digital camera PK, who is the winner? Canon Powershot SX30 IS ? Or Fujifilm FinePix HS11?

Hardware contrast

In the hardware configuration, Canon Powershot SX30 IS features 35x long zoom lens, which implements many advanced lens manufacturing technology, such as UD lens, USM, VCM, IS anti-shack and so on. Meanwhile Canon Powershot SX30 strike a good balance between huge zoom and image quality. As for the Fujifilm FinePix HS11, the every item is balance and there is not standout advantage and no obvious flaw.

Design introduction

As for the body design, both of which are Class SLR design, the Canon SX30 IS relatively rounded body design, the overall is very compact, looks a bit like the EOS entry-level SLR, even more domineering that. Fuji HS11 body design is relatively conservative, but really with the SLR looks like the HS11, particularly its lens with manual zoom ring and focusing ring, so that its shape is very close to the SLR. However HS11 too strong a sense of the plastic body, it feels a bit low.

Both of Canon Powershot SX30 IS and Fujifilm FinePix HS11 are SLR class design. Canon Powershot SX30 IS is relatively round and Powershot SX30 IS designed more compact that looks like the Canon EOS series entry-level SLR. The design on Fujifilm FinePix HS11 is relatively conservation, and gets little difference with that of SLR camera that even comes with manual zoom ring and focusing ring, however, Fujifilm FinePix HS11 is made of plastic rather than metal that always found on SLR Cameras design.

(1) Lens

Lens Canon Powershot SX30 IS PK Fujifilm FinePix HS11

Canon SX30 IS lens configuration is very high in order to ensure the image quality, especially applies EF lens technology, including lens, coating, motor. A Very great lens to a long zoom camera. Although there is not so high-end lens configuration on Fujifilm FinePix HS11, the lens manufacturing of Fujifilm has a very high reputation with a very longer lens manufacturing history than that of Canon. As for the zoom speed and focus speed, Fujifilm FinePix HS11 features quicker zoom speed who supporting manual zoom, and Canon SX30 IS gets quicker focus speed that supports VCM

Canon SX30 IS has a 24-840mm Lens focal length, f2.7-5.8 aperture, while the Fujifim HS11has a 24-720mm lens focal length, f2.8-5.6 aperture. So Canon SX30 IS gets 120mm lens focal length more than that of Fujifilm FinePix HS11.

The extended lens length of them is almost the same. Both of them can be added an additional lenses.

(2)Stereo pick up

Both Canon Powershot SX30 IS and Fujifilm FinePix HS11 have design their stereo pickup above their lens, so it is easy to produce noise when recording movie. In this regard, Canon SX30 IS applies USM and VCM motor. So the situation will be relatively better.

(3)Rotatable screen

Both Canon Powershot SX30 IS and Fujifilm FinePix HS11 sports a 230thousand pixel rotatable screen, but different sizes, that is 2.7-inch and 3-inch. On the surface of Canon Powershot SX30 IS screen is anti-reflective coating and features multi-angle rotatable, while the screen of ujifilm FinePix HS11 can only be rotate to 90 degrees upward and turn 45 degrees downward. So in the flexibility aspect, Canon SX30 IS enjoys a great advantage.

(4)Keypad area design

Canon Powershot SX30 IS PK Fujifilm FinePix HS11

Canon Powershot SX30 IS PK Fujifilm FinePix HS11

The keypad arrangement on Canon Powershot SX30 IS has adhered Canon SX series’ traditional design, which features wide keys and broad arranged relatively. But the size of D-pad on Canon Powershot SX30 IS is relatively small. The overall keypad design on Canon Powershot SX30 IS is compact and relatively easy to operate. In contrast, Fujifilm FinePix HS11 comes with more keys, and every key gets its specific function, as a result you even do not need to adjust the shooting parameter by entering the menu item but a specific key directly. Because of the relatively more keys on it, Fujifilm FinePix HS11 will take the users much more time to get used to.

(5)Flashlight

Close up on flashlights of Canon Powershot SX30 IS and Fujifilm FinePix HS11

(6)Handle

Compared to Canon Powershot SX30 IS, Fujifilm FinePix HS11 is more convenient to hold for deeper holding area.

(7)Battery

Canon SX30 IS powered by NB-7L Li-ion battery with a desirable life time that supports 300 images shooting or  2 hours of video recording, which is enough to meet the need of a day shooting. The working time of Fujifilm FinePix HS11 depends on the AA batteries used. Fujifilm FinePix HS11 can shoot more than 400 photos when I use four 2000 mA batteries, and the batteries still did not exhaust. So it shows the AA battery’s advantage on power supply, but also a lot of body weight.
