Hiking Adventure at Spring Green Conservatory

This weekend I went hiking at Spring Green Conservatory up the bluff. It took us a while to find the parking lot but the view from the top was pretty good as it was a clear day. It is one of those hidden areas not many know about but it is a good hike on the way up.

Iphone 12 pro to have 64mp sensor

Rumors of the I-phone 12 say it has a 64mp Sony sensor. Apple probably seems the heat from Samsung's 108mp sensor and needs to fight back with one of its own. But how will 64mp cellphone sensor be stabilized and how will it perform in lower light?

Nikon D6 delayed, Good for Sony

The Nikon D6 production has been delayed due to delays in Chinese Manufacturing. We also know that the Canon 1DX III is delayed. This leaves the Sony A9 II as the only game in town.

4 things I want added to the Nikon P1000

I love the Nikon P1000 but there are a few things missing from this awesome camera that I would really love to see. I want full manual controls, better subject tracking, animal eye-AF, and more panorama and stacking options.

Canon M5 Mark II Coming in October

Canon announced that its M5 Mark II, an update to a favorite vlogging camera is coming in October. I expect it to be in the $800 with 4k vlogging capabilities.

Nikon Z8 and D850 wanted features

Nikon is going to make the Z8 and the mirrorless version of the D850, both 60.8mp cameras that look like they will use the Sony A7RIV sensor. Since they are using the same sensor and are coming out with a camera a year later, I think they should try to make an upgraded version of the A7RIV. I think they both need 4k@60. The D850 replacement should have 1 SD slot and 1 CFexpress slot whereas the Z8 should have 2 CFexpress slots. I don't think 8k is necessary because very few will use it, I would opt to keep the camera cheaper than to add 8k. It should make 20fps Electronic and 10fps mechanical shutter and Eye AF and Animal Eye-AF.

Canon coming out with G9X III

Canon is going to release its G9x Mark III soon and to be its another lower-tier point and shoot, a market that has become completely unnecessary. It only offers 4x zoom, which is available in many upper end cellphones and even though the 1 inch sensor will provide better IQ, its still now low-light show-stopper.

Nikon coming out with high MP Z8 camera this year

So, Nikon is coming out with their answer to the Canon EOS R5 and the Sony A7RIV with the Nikon Z8. It is rumored to have a 60mp sensor and dual card slots.

Sony's 20fps Phone Sensor?

Sony announced its Xperia II phone today packed with Animal Eye-AF and Eye-AF. Its also got a whopping 20fps continous burst for moving subjects. Sony is once again moving the bar up for cellphone cameras.

Sony unleashes 43mp APS-C sensor

Sony may have pulled out its trump card in the APS-C Market by pulling out a 43mp sensor. Usual APS-C camera have 24 mp sensor these days and that is a full 75% more resolution. This does raise questions about high ISO performance but for most cases, this would be a desirable APS-C Camera to have.
