How is the new camera in low light situations?

I was hoping the new iPad camera would have a flash.  I take a lot of photos for work and would like to use my iPad. Is there an aftermarket flash?

Camera stores used to sell hand held flash "guns" that were independent of cameras. I'm sure such things still exist.It would probably be easier to use a proper camera, though. I have a Sony digital P&S that takes very nice pictures which are easily transferred to the iPad using the Camera Connection Kit.

  • How to get the new camera raw 7.2 update?

    most of our company computers are offline.
    so how do we get the new camera raw 7.2 update?
    until now they were always released as manual downloads.... now i have to read this from adobes blog:
    Camera Raw 7.2 – Please use the update mechanism in Photoshop CS6
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/
    does that mean there will be no manual update anymore or is it not up yet?

    Thanks for the link, Anthony, and yes, I have already seen that.  But I don't need the description or justification to know that it represents a step backward in image quality.  Admittedly a small one, but a step nonetheless.
    Let me be direct:  The color-fringing that occurs on edges that concerns me is not addressed by the new implementation.  Specifically, the colored remnants from de-Bayering (what some call de-mosaicing) are what bother me.
    My point is that the old simple Defringe setting, set to All Edges, worked very nicely to fight this common aberration.  There's a thread around here somewhere in which I visually demonstrated the differences.
    Here are the important points:
    The new Defringe feature, even thyough it has more controls, simply CANNOT be configured to remove those same de-Bayering colored remnants as effectively as the old, simple Defringe: All Edges setting did.  Thus the new implementation is not a superset of the functionality of the old.
    When one tries to configure the new implementation to reduce de-Bayering color remnants - even with minimal settings - the negative side effects of the new method are much greater and more visible, making it unacceptable to be made a default setting.
    It's worth pointing out that the old Defringe feature isn't available even under the PV2010 setting. The way the new Defringe feature was implemented represents a departure from Adobe's philosophy of maintaining compatibility with old settings.
    It shouldn't have been strictly necessary to remove the old Defringe feature as it was implemented to add the new implementation, which addresses an entirely different (though nearby) set of aberrations.  If necessary to avoid confusion or coding difficulties  it COULD have been renamed, though internally it could still work the same.  Or it could have been made an either/or setting.  Personally I think it would be nicest to be able to combine the two - old and new Defringe features - as needed. 
    As it is, for the above reasons - and the fact that the newest versions run slower - I've dropped back to using Camera Raw 7.0, which is an acceptable workaround for me for now as I still use a camera that version understands.  But of course that's not a viable long-term strategy.  If Adobe doesn't see fit to restore this feature I've only put off the inevitable image quality degradation until Camera Raw 8 and Photoshop CS7.

  • Best camera for low light and sports

    have the sx200is
    looking for a newer camera for sports and low light shots

    The challenge with sports is that you are REALLY pushing the camera gear to it's limits.  Fast action requires fast shutter speeds.  But fast shutter speeds demand a lot of light and only outdoor games played during the daytime have that.  Indoor games or games played under field lighting at night generally do not have the kind of lighting needed to shoot with fast shutter speeds -- not the kind of shutter speeds needed to freeze action.  So this ends up demanding a camera with excellent ISO performance and lenses with very low focal ratios so they can collect a LOT more light when the shutter is open.  This gear is expensive.
    You will want to consider a reasonable budget depending on what you can afford and the needs of the specific sports.  
    Are these indoor or outdoor sports? If outdoors, are these played during the day or are they night games?
    The "best" camera for sports and low light is the EOS-1D X.  It has phenominal low-light performance, has an amazing focus system,  and can shoot at 12 frames per second.  But it's about $6800 for the "body only" and then you still need lenses.  I'm guessing this is probably not what you had in mind.  But if money were not a constraint... this would be the one to go for.
    The 5D III is another amazing camera for low light performance and and also has an amazing focusing system (largely the same as the 1D X) can shoot at 6 frames per second, and only costs $3500... again, that's the "body only".  Still probably not what you had in mind.
    The 70D has an extremely good focus system (though not as good as the 5D III and 1D X), not quite as good as low light (but pretty good and much better than a point & shoot camera) and shoots at 7 frames per second (1 fps faster than  5D III) and it only costs $1200 for the body only.
    The T5i will be noticeably less expensive than the 70D... a good (but not extremely good) focusing system and 5 frames per second, but the body and 1 kit lens combined is about $850 but that wont a lens suitable for use shooting sports so you'll still need to invest in more appropriate lenses.
    When shooting action photography in low light, what you _really_ want is a lens that can collect a lot more light than the average lens for that very brief moment when the shutter is open.  Such a lens can allow you to use a faster shutter speed to help freeze those action shots.  But *which* lens you use depends on the sport.  
    For low-light sports, these would ideally be f/2.8 zoom lenses... but f/2.8 zoom lenses are not cheap.  Canon's EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM (ideal for most indoor sports and outdoor sports IF the action is happening close to you) is about $2500.  Sigma's lens is about half that price.  But if you're covering action on a large athletic field and the players are far away, they'll still be small.  Sigma makes a 120-300mm f/2.8 zoom for sports... for the low low price of only $3600.
    Scott Kelby does a video to talk about sports photography and he discusses the equipment used and why... and basically says if you want the gear for shooting sports, you basically need a suitcase full of money.

    hello, my eyesight issue happens occasionally, from time to time i run multiple apps that use the isight camera. when i close each app the isight camera's green light is still active. When that happens the only way to stop the isight camera is to reboot.
    Is there a way to use activity monitor to identify and kill the process controlling the isight? My apologies in advance if this sounds windows (task manager) like.
    Thanks

    com/kb/HT2411: Your camera can be used by only one application at a time.
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • How does the new iPhone 6/iWatch know whether I'm standing or sitting?

    I work long hours standing and I'm wondering how does the new iPhone/iWatch knows whether I'm standing or sitting down?  And what if I leave my iPhone on the table but I'm walking around with just my iWatch on the wrist, is the new Health App going to be keeping track of my walking around the office?

    You will know when you buy them and use them. No one here can answer that question yet.

  • Where  do I place the new camera raw plug in

    Hello friends I just updated the new camera raw plun in for Photo Shop CS2
    I also have received teh DNG where do I place the plugs in I just down loaded
    Michael

    The DNG Converter is NOT a plug-in. It's a stand-alone application, and you can put it wherever you want: in the applications folder, on your desktop etc.
    Make sure you download version 4.2 of the DNG Converter.
    As for the ACR plug-in, you need version 3.7. Later versions of ACR DO NOT work with CS2.
    You put it exactly where the obsolete ACR plug-in is installed by default when you first install Photoshop.
    Exactly where depends on your platform, Macintosh or Windows. There are very precise instructions on the page where you download the updates. Read them.

    How will the new OSX Mavericks affect applications already installed and using Mountain Lion?

    If you're asking about compatibility, that would be something you would need to ask of the app developers, though most apps compatible with Mountain Lion should be compatible with Mavericks. You can also consult the tables here:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps
    though that information comes from user reports and so should not be considered authoritative.
    If you're asking whether installing Mavericks will delete your apps, no, it won't, though a good backup is always highly recommended.

  • I have an Old camera an Canon AE1 from the 70's. Any adapter to fit the Old lens to the new Cameras

    Can anyone give me any advice on if I can purchase an adapter to make my Old lens fit on the newer modle cameras. I have 3 old lens that worked with the Old AE-1   A 55mm, A 35-70mm, and a 100-200mm. Any Thoughts would surely be appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Don't waste your money on an adapter even though they do exist. Much better to buy modern lenses which incorporate Auto Focus. The new cameras DON'T have a focus aid such as a split screen or whatever your film body had.
