New cameras expected in 2013

Camera lens 

What new cameras will be released in 2013?

We are barely into 2013 and already an army of loyal camera owners are salvating at the mouth for long awaited upgrades to cameras and lenses. What can we expect in 2013? Let’s jump in and find out.

New Canon cameras for 2013

EOS 7D Mark II – It’s now the year that it’s due. Expect a new Sensor, possibly 10fps, and ISO upwards of 25600

There is a problem though. Will the 70D take it’s glory?

EOS 70D – Same Sensor as 7D Mark II, possibly 10fps, a 3? flip screen, plus ISO 25600

If we were to hedge a bet it will be either one or the other …

EOS M2 – A brand new mirrorless camera

EOS 1DSx – Canon’s big megapixel camera is due in 2013

New Nixon cameras for 2013

D7200 – will have 39 AF points and ISO range up to 25,600

D9000 – new sensor, 8-10 fps, 51 AF points

V3 – new mirrorless camera will be announced

Nikon did not perform all that well in 2012 … leading into 2013 and it looks like they may have to pull one out of the bag to regain ground in sales.

New Olympus cameras for 2013

We don’t expect much here in terms of pro cameras. PEN and consumer models only.

New Sony cameras for 2013

The Sony Alpha range is becoming the third choice in pro photographers gear bags. Are sales enough to keep them going with development … we think so. With Olympus leaving the pro market Sony has a niche if they can keep up current standards.

Travel Photography from Turkey

There’s probably few other places on earth with rock formations like Goreme in Turkey. With valleys upon valleys of soft rock craved out into shapes by years of weather beating.

This particular valley is named love valley due to the phallic shapes that have formed all along its side.

The cow is sacred in India, as is the most sacred river in all of India. It’s not unusual to see people bathing their cows in the Ganges in the morning and at night. To have the life of a cow in India, is pretty relaxing at times!

2012 Photography Review

From new cameras to citizen journalism – 2012 in Photography


New Cameras that hit the spot in 2012

Both of the main players unleashed some major new updates to their arsenals Canon_5D_Mark_III

Nikon pushed out the Nikon D800/ENikon D600 while Canon launched EOS 650D / Rebel T4 and the long awaited Canon EOS 5D Mark III.

Olympus focus on PEN cameras and Sony continued to try for hitting gold with their A series.

The winner? Well, it’s hard not to give it to Canon with the superior 5D M3

Social Media and Photography in 2012

2012 was dominated with two key players in photography. Pinterest and Instagram. Both of whom blazed a trail throughout the year only to stumble in popular opinion when it came to privacy.plus-badge

Pinterest won with retail, but lost with photographers. Instagram charged ahead the whole year only to be snapped up by Facebook and stumble terribly with a controversial privacy policy update that’s been reversed.

The winner? Google+. There’s no taking away the fact that many photographers moved to Google+ in 2012. With wide screen options and galleries not to mention Hangouts Google+ became the IT social network for photographers in 2012.

Photograph of the year 2012

It making a choice for photograph of the year we went for a mix of social, journalism and cold hard reality.

Massoud Hossaini from Afghanistan captured a Shiite woman standing among the dead and injured, after a bomb blast at the crowded Abu Fazal shrine in Kabul, on 6 December 2011.

For us this continues to hold as a photo of the year throughout 2012 and leading into 2013.

Nowhere in the world is there a sunrise like that on the Ganges. Golden colors sweeps along its sandy shores and sparkle like nowhere else. A 5am wake up call is needed, but for a once in a lifetime experience it’s worth it.
