EOS M5: ISO Noise vs. Effective Resolution
A look at the effects of noise on effective resolution for Canon’s EOS M5 across the ISO range. The results are, surprising to me, quite good.
5D mark 4 & EOS R: ISO Noise versus Effective Resolution
I look at the effects of noise on effective resolution for Canon’s EOS 5D mark VI’s (and by extension the EOS R) sensors across the ISO range. I’m even a bit surprised at the results.
The Evolution of Camera UIs Part 2 — Canon’s Modern Film and Early Digital SLRs
In the first part of this series, I looked at some of the theoretical aspects of UI design and some of the bigger picture concepts. This time, I’m going to look at the evolution of Canon’s film SLR UI as it developed into their earliest DSLRs and how those designs became the stepping stones for […]
The Evolution of Camera Interfaces Part 1 – Foundations
Part 1 of the a multi-part series on the evolution of the interface of DSLR and mirrorless cameras. This part focuses on the theoretical and philosophical design philosophies rather than specific cameras and changes.
RFC: Standard Camera Power Consumption Testing
A RFC for a broader, and arguably more useful, standard for camera battery usage. Focusing on expanding battery life testing to reflect changes in the market and demographics since 2003.
A Brief Summary of Raw Ideas
A brief overview of various aspects of raw file implementations.
Calculating the Angle of View: When Theory Meets Practice
A brief look at how the theoretical calculations for angle of view differs from how a real lens will actually preform.
Rear Button Focusing: Canon DSLR Setup Guide
Rear button or two button focusing is a technique to maximize control over the AF system. These are settings for using and configuring it on Canon cameras.
ISO vs. Effective Resolution (5D mark III tests)
Noise has an impact on most aspects of digital photography, this article looks at the affect noise on the effective resolution of Canon’s EOS 5D mark III.
Testing and Acclimating to a new Camera
A new camera is always exciting to get your hands on, at least it is for me. While I will definitely run out side and start shooting some random stuff — because, well, new shiny — before I put the camera into any kind of serious use, I run though an acclimation and calibration process […]
