Digital Photography Review Newsletter: Thursday, 13 February 2014

	Digital Photography Review Newsletter Thursday, 13 February 2014 The most popular weekly photography newsletter, with over 300,000 subscribers
Hello! And welcome to the 496th Digital Photography Review newsletter. Super Bowl fever has died down here in Seattle at last, following a parade through downtown that supposedly involved more people than actually live in the entire metropolitan area (we'll be publishing some pictures of the event pretty soon). The Seahawks might be resting on their laurels for a few days but we're not - we've been working hard on several reviews, as well as multiple product announcements over the past few days, leading up to the CP+ show in Japan. So, in addition to the articles I've listed below, keep an eye on the site for something extra, in the next 24 hours. I'll be heading out there in a few hours, and I'm hoping to be sending back a good amount of content from the show, including hands-on articles with the new products, and some interviews with senior executives from several major manufacturers. Now I just need to find my passport... OK, without further ado let's take a look at some recent highlights! First look at Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GH4 We were visited recently by Panasonic product experts and got some time to handle Panasonic's latest still/video hybrid camera - the Lumix DMC-GH4. We've dug through its feature set to get a feel for what it offers and have summarized what's new and improved. And, although it's the 4K-capability that will grab all the initial attention, there's also plenty for 1080p shooters and even still photographers to take notice of. Click through to read more... Click here to read about our experience of using the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 Nikon D5300 in-depth review Nikon's latest consumer DSLR, the D5300, evolves the design of its predecessor but raises the feature bar, bringing it closer to the D7100. In fact, it's likely that the 24MP D5300 even uses the sensor of its big brother since it also lacks an AA filter. The D5300's larger LCD and viewfinder serve to further close the gap, while built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, and 1080/60p video recording go beyond what the D7100 offers. Read our in-depth review to find out how it performs. Click here to read our in-depth review of the Nikon D5300 Sigma unveils dp2 Quattro with redesigned sensor Sigma has revealed the next generation of its DP series of APS-C sensor, fixed focal length cameras, with the dp2 Quattro. The latest, 45mm-equivalent, model features dramatic styling and a fundamental re-think of the company's Foveon multi-layer sensor design. The Quattro sensor still uses three layers to detect color information but now only captures its full, 19.6 million pixel resolution in the top layer, with lower two layers capturing 4.9MP of information each. The sensor will also appear in 28mm and 75mm equivalent dp1 Quattro and dp3 Quattro models. Click here to read more about the dp2 Quattro Nokia Lumia 1520 camera review The Nokia Lumia 1520 runs the Windows Phone operating system and offers high-end specs all-around. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and ships with 2GB of RAM but it's the camera specs that should make the 1520 an appealing option for mobile photographers. The PureView branded camera combines a 1/2.5-inch 20MP BSI CMOS sensor with a F2.4 lens and optical image stabilization. How does it perform as a camera? Read our in-depth review to find out. Click here to read our review of the Nokia Lumia 1520's camera What's coming up? We're in the very final stages of our Sony Alpha 7R review, and we're also working on the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 and Pentax K-3 reviews. We're expecting some new products in the next few days as well around the period of the CP+ show and although we can't say anything quite yet, you should probably keep an eye on the site for full coverage. Thanks for reading - my colleague Richard will be writing next week's newsletter when I'm away, so I'll see you in a couple of weeks.

News updates Artist Emma Jaubert Howell prints photos onto hand-blown glass Published on Wednesday, February 5, 2014 8:01:00 AM GMT Artist Emma Jaubert Howell has combined her passions for glass blowing and photography by adopting the wet plate collodion process to expose images directly onto her artwork. The process alone is tricky, but to expose onto her three-dimensional glasswork Howell had to create a camera from scratch that was large enough to accommodate the hand-blown bowls. We spoke to Emma about her project. Learn more about her process and see some of her art in our gallery.  Read full story → Pentax firmware v1.02 for K-3 allows bracketing by AA filter mode Published on Wednesday, February 5, 2014 6:01:49 PM GMT Pentax has released new firmware for its flagship K-3 DSLR, allowing users to bracket exposures by AA filter simulation mode. As a reminder, the K-3 lacks a physical anti-aliasing filter, but simulates the blurring effect via minute movement of its sensor, with two intensity levels available (three if you include 'off'). Firmware v1.02 allows you to shoot a burst of sequential images at each AA filter level, to fine-tune the optimal balance between resolution and artifacts like moiré.

F2-4.9 lens and sensor-shift image stabilization. The two models are nearly identical with the exception of the WG-4 GPS' built-in location tagging capability and front-facing display, and are introduced with a number of mount accessories for action videography and photography. Both cameras are waterproof to 14m/45ft, coldproof to -10C/+14F, crushproof to 220lbf and shockproof from 2m/7ft. The WG-4 and WG-4 GPS will sell for $329.95 and $379.95 respectively.

Sporting a 14 megapixel CCD sensor, it provides a 28-140mm 5x optical zoom lens and 720p HD movie recording. It's a continuation of Pentax's WG-line (minus the 'Pentax' logo), and presumably a WG-10 replacement, though the cameras appear to share the same sensor, lens and rugged specifications. Available in March, it will ship in red or white for $199.95.

The 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro will offer an unusually wide angle view for its class (24-450mm equivalent), while also allowing close-up shooting with 0.34x magnification.

A near-twin of the co-announced 16-300mm F3.5-6.3 for APS-C, it's distinguished from the current model by featuring an ultrasonic-type 'Piezo Drive' autofocus motor, splashproof construction and more-compact design with a 67mm filter thread. It'll be made in Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts; pricing and availability are to be confirmed.

The X-T1 takes many familiar elements we've seen before in X-Series cameras but incorporates them in more DSLR-like shape and with even more external control. We also got a version of Adobe Camera Raw that supports the camera and have added it to our test scene comparison tool.

Like similar designs used in mirrorless kit lenses, the 18-55mm VR II twists to expand when you're ready to shoot, and contracts into a more compact 'at rest' state. It's a natural companion for Nikon's consumer-level bodies including the D5300.

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-H400's 63X lens covers an enormous 24.5-1550mm equivalent range. If that's a bit too much for you, the DSC-H300 has a 35X (25-875mm equiv.) lens and shares the same 20.1MP CCD as the H400.
