Computex 2016 is not only recognizable big brands, but also a lot of other companies with strange devices. We walked among them and found TOP 5 the most amazing devices.

Heated and cooled collar for human

On the island of Taiwan it is very hot in early June: the temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius. Logically, people had the idea to create a wearable gadget that cools the neck of its owner.

TOP 5 Most Amazing Gadgets Computex 2016

Form factor surprises: it is a collar, which must be connected to an external battery. For example, if you connect collar to Xiaomi battery 10000 mAh it will work for 4 hours. If you turn on the cooling mode, the minimum available temperature will be 15 degrees. You can also activate heating mode, which provides the temperature from +25 to +35.

360-degrees сamera for smartphones

TOP 5 Most Amazing Gadgets Computex 2016

Another amazing thing that we found at the exhibition Computex 2016 is a tiny camera with a viewing angle of 360 degrees. It should be noted that it works only with smartphone: you need to connect camera to the microUSB connector of your smartphone.

Despite its modest size, the camera records video in Full HD relosution. The developers are doing a special emphasis on the fact that their camera is much smaller than comparable cameras from large companies LG and Samsung.

Battery, which can pierce or cut

If you try to cut or to pierce a lithium-ion battery, it will ignite. But Taiwanese developers have a solution. They brought to the exhibition Computex 2016 a special battery with which you can do anything – to cut, pierce, drop. At the same time it will continue to work!

TOP 5 Most Amazing Gadgets Computex 2016

Developers said that it is a perfect battery for sensors in smart clothes. Already, Taiwanese managed to make a belt with a capacity of 1500 mAh and a pair of insoles, each with 500 mAh.

Emergency phone for iPhone owners

TOP 5 Most Amazing Gadgets Computex 2016

Taiwanese developers have their own interesting approach to the problem of quickly discharged iPhone. Instead external batteries, they offer a special case with a pocket in which to insert a small phone-dialer.

Emergency phone has a very simple set of functions only calls and SMS. But the gadget is working for more than 3 days of talk time.

Stereo camera for smartphones

TOP 5 Most Amazing Gadgets Computex 2016

Another compact module with the camera allows you to turn your smartphone into a stereo camera. You need to connect a little thing to USB, and you can start to record 3D video-in a special supplement.

Then put your smartphone in Google Cardboard or other suitable virtual reality device and enjoy your movies.

It’s not all the amazing gadgets that we met at Computex 2016, but definitely one of the most memorable.

GoPro reduces range of action cameras; only 3 cameras for sale https://www.raqwe.com/gopro-reduces-action-cameras/ https://www.raqwe.com/gopro-reduces-action-cameras/#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2016 20:09:57 +0000 http://www.raqwe.com/?p=31292 GoPro is a brand that dominates on the market of sports action cameras.

GoPro is a brand that dominates on the market of sports action cameras. For many people GoPro has become synonymous with this type of devices. Due to the fact that company is constantly increasing its market share, it was decided to release new models, and hiring more staff. Unfortunately, in recent years GoPro cannot cope with the situation, as evidenced by the increase of 7% of the workforce. In addition, it was decided to reduce the range of the most action cameras.

Initially, GoPro has received wide popularity due to quality cameras and the lack of competition in the market. However, over the last year Chinese companies has changed situation dramatically. Despite the fact that GoPro is still the leader on the market of action cameras, but many users need a compact, inexpensive camera, such as Polaroid Cube+ or Xiaomi Yi Action Camera. Also, if people had already bought an expensive action camera GoPro, they have not reasons to change it to a new one. That is why American company has a financial loss over the last year.

Financial report shows that in the last quarter of 2015 GoPro recorded a profit of $436.6 million and a net loss at the level of $45.5 million. For comparison, in the same period of 2014 we saw $122 million profit.

All this has led to the fact that the company began to seek how to save. First, it was decided on the dismissal of employees, and now announced a significant reduce of the range of models.

GoPro reduces range of action cameras; only 3 cameras for sale

The president CEO GoPro, Nick Woodman, said that GoPro will offer only three cameras since April: Hero 4 Black, Hero 4 Silver and Hero 4 Session. Their prices will have to be from $199.99 to $499.99. Thus, American company will stop to sale Hero+ LCD, Hero+ and Hero. It should be noted that the creation of some of them was a reaction to the increasing competition of Chinese companies. But it seems that the struggle in the lower segments of the market has failed, so GoPro focus on more expensive models.

It is known that the cameras of modern smartphones can easily replace professional cameras. We want our phone to make good pictures day and night. Which features affect the quality of the photos? We decided to find out.

1 – Resolution

Megapixels are not everything, that’s absolutely true, but they can make a difference between a passable picture and a great picture. The resolution does not define more than the size of the photo. It is important that when you think of a good camera you have to decide your ideal minimum resolution.

In addition, a standard user is not necessary to buy a smartphone with a 41 megapixel camera, as photos will occupy a lot of space on your phone’s memory.

2 – Aperture

5 features that should have a good camera of smartphone

One of the main parameters of a camera is aperture. The aperture of the camera will tell if it can capture plenty of light. This fact is indicated by a number following the letter f. The lower the number after f, then camera can capture more light

Modern smartphones have aperture f/2.2 and f/2.0. Samsung Galaxy S6 was the first smartphone that is equipped with a camera with an aperture f / 1.9, and even brighter if possible. If you are going to take lots of pictures in low light conditions, you should see the camera have a minimum aperture f/2.0.

3 – Sensor

Even if you have a very big talent for taking pictures it would not make sense if your smartphone sensor is poor quality. Bad sensor means bad pictures. In fact, not too many manufacturers of camera sensors for smartphone, the most famous of them are Sony and Samsung ISOCELL.

The most popular and a good sensor is Sony IMX. The Japanese company can provide a good camera sensor for little money. For example, the sensor IMX240 was used for smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

5 features that should have a good camera of smartphone

4 – Optical Stabilizer

I think that this option is very important. The optical image stabilizer (OIS) is responsible for correcting the shaking when the user takes photos in hands. But it is also useful when you take pictures in low light, because thanks to this correction it makes the image clearer.

The company LG was the first to use optical stabilizer for the smartphone LG G2 in 2013. If you are one of those users who are shaking hands while taking photos, or you want to take many pictures in low light, or record many videos, you need to look for a camera with OIS.

5 – Software

What is the sense of a powerful camera equipment, if the software does not allow to use it? Sony offers advanced software and the smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 is one of the best in its class.

It is not necessary to be an expert in photography, all you have to do is take a picture and compare it with the real object. You have to decide – do you have good detail and more or less faithful colors (depending on display technology) without chromatic aberrations?

5 features that should have a good camera of smartphone

Bonus track: A friendly and customizable interface

I did not want to leave this section out, because if you’re pretty amateur photographer and you like to play with the parameters, you should know a few nuances. The best example is LG G4 which interface is simple, but at the same time offers a range of options.

When you have a manual mode, you can use the settings to take photos according to your taste. Thus, you can take pictures not just of the landscape in front of you, but you can make a special attention to the elements in the foreground or the background. Anyway, you can put the icing on the cake, look at the interface you like and be as customizable as possible.

Compact new camera with nice zoom market no longer exists. What we see – residual effects. This is already possible to write as a fait accompli.

We have said many times about how to survive companies producing photo equipment, in the new conditions. It first of all – the release of more upscale, functional and, therefore, expensive cameras, which allows to make quality, not quantity. This trend fits perfectly into the new generation of superzoom with large format sensors 1”, in the manner of Sony RX100 or Nikon 1: Sony RX10 (now the Sony RX10 II) and Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. Canon long remained on the sidelines holding to develop in this direction its top-end compact series. Following models G1 X Mark II and G7 X, we got a camera G3 X with the same size sensor and 25x zoom.

Today the 25-fold zoom and one-inch sensor – the most impressive combination. Champion up to this point has been Panasonic FZ1000 with 16x zoom. 35mm equivalent focal length of the lens new camera with nice zoom Canon PowerShot G3 X – 24-600 mm. To enter such optics in a small enclosure (which is the most compact among camera competitors), it took a little engineering marvel.

But how such a combination generally works – that is the question. Maximum flexibility does not necessarily mean the ultimate comfort and quality.

As a rule, superzoom because of the size of optics takes the form and dimensions of an SLR new camera with nice zoom. Canon PowerShot G3 X – exception. This pattern is very similar in appearance to a series of G1 X, only with a bigger lug for grip with rubberized coating. This is also due to the lack of the viewfinder – need to look for him a place on the housing developers have not. His design new camera with nice zoom G3 X can hardly attract someone – this is not the most handsome gadget in history – here it is necessary to appreciate only the combination of size and capacity.

This is a relatively small but pretty heavy camera, but with replaceable optics. So, over these seven hundred grams with a little you will not have to carry anything – except that the external flash (“hot shoe” allows you to use an external light). The projection for the grip is not very big, but I thought he was very thoughtful and sufficient; a playground for the thumb. Second Hand holding the optics – the usual grip, “mirror”.

Building is impressive, as well as the materials from which made housing – is textured plastic, metal and rubber lens. The only thing that confuses – the movable element in the lens, which shakes and rattles when the camera is turned off, but ceases to scare turned on. Presumably, this is an optical stabilizer.

On a set of interface connectors it can be seen that the new camera with nice zoom G3 X marks in the second segment of the cameras for professionals: in addition to standard HDMI and USB, and we can see a connector for wired remote control and minijacks headphone and microphone. Full set.
Professional management

Manage a little more ramified than G1 X Mark II. For the normal set, hotkeys added drive compensation, the optional navigation selector (in addition to the ring near the JOG) and the “extra” soft keys. Start button, wireless functions “moved” closer to the upper edge.

Canon PowerShot G3 X review: new camera with nice zoom

A curious thing: the bottom of the new camera with nice zoom Canon PowerShot G3 X tripod two holes – one thread, the other denied it.

Another point: the ring on the lens is used exclusively for manual focus or for some other things, such appointment ISO, which can be configured via the menu. But not for the zoom – zoom is fully the responsibility of the lever in the area of the shutter button. I would not say that it is inconvenient, but a little strange decision.

The interface is close to the amateur SLRs Canon, it is different from what we saw on the G1 X and G7X – and different for the better, the speed of access to important settings above. There is a very reasonably arranged the quick menu, I liked the use of additional keys to quickly change some settings (such as turning off RAW by pressing the DISP) – not necessarily looking for all the details on the screen.

Viewfinder, as I wrote above, no. It can be added through the “hot shoe”, it comes as an optional accessory. The default value is used for all the needs of the main screen. He immediately rather large – 3.2 inches; resolution – 1,620,000 pixels. This LCD with good viewing angles and very bright – but on a sunny day problems, alas, inevitable. Brightness, to save the situation is completely lacking. A little help can rotate the monitor vertically, can adjust up to 180 degrees, you can somehow turn away from it to direct sunlight, and even turn in the same plane, which is directed and lens – why not use this camera for self? Horizontally, the screen does not turn.

The display shows the grid, histogram, the horizon and various shooting settings. There is touch-sensitive surface, so some things you can do with your finger on the screen – this is the useful and efficient configuration, and in particular in selecting the focus point. This option does not interfere, and a professional camera, by the way.

Close Sensor

On the new camera with nice zoom Canon PowerShot G3 X uses the same sensor as in another superzoom this format, and Canon G7 X, and Sony RX100, for example – a one-inch Sony matrix effective resolution of 20.2 megapixels. Such a constant number of amusing, but it is a fact – this format sensor produces only Sony. At Canon has its own production of matrices for digital cameras, but for a couple of models deploy new pipeline company holds not considered necessary.

With the matrix in conjunction DIGIC processor works 6.

The speed of the new camera with nice zoom G3 X looks quite decent, though superzoom, as a rule, it does not shine. Turning for a moment, taking into account the time required for the nomination of the telescopic lens. Continuous shooting at up to 5.9 frames per second in JPEG (with a buffer capacity of 45-50 frames, depending on your settings), but only on the frames per second when shooting RAW – a familiar situation for the G7 X.

Not fast but precise focusing

Focus is exactly the same as on the G7 X and G1 X Mark II. Contrast method 31 points, covering the entire area of the frame. The speed of operation due to a kind of optics is not always high, but surprisingly little error, it’s pretty accurate. The minimum distance in macro – 5 cm in wide angle. Supports and manual focus: with the ability to increase the focus area or highlight the contours of objects in the area of the field (focus peaking).

The built-in flash provides illumination in the area of up to seven meters. Optionally, you can use an external flash, there is support for full-size flashes.

The image stabilizer, in this case, is simply a necessary element – superzoom without stabilizer viable. In telephoto you can quite confidently shoot without a tripod – it is a good idea. Get ungreased picture can be at the maximum focal length of the shutter speed around 1 / 20-1 / 30, a lot depends on the hardness of the hands of the photographer. In any case, a huge focal range it is working, it’s not for the “tick” as happens in ultrazoom easier. Electronic shutter, there is support for arbitrary exposure (Bulb), the minimum shutter speed – 1/2000. This, of course, the weakness of the camera, its restriction.

Unusual effects

Operating modes: The author, P / A / S / M, two custom, scene modes, creative filters, hybrid cars, “creative picture” video. Direct inheritance PoweShot G1 X Mark II and PowerShot G7 X.

All specific to the compact Canon modes we have already mentioned. Mainly it is “hybrid cars” that combines photographs and video surrounding the snapshot, and “creative snapshot”, giving the camera itself to choose which filters and treatment applied to the image: for each shot made six unique variations. I do not think much in demand, but interesting things. “Creative Image”, in particular, can be very please fans upload pictures from the camera to Instagram. Strange processing, so beloved by fans of the photographic social network, will abound.

The modules Wi-Fi and NFC. Appendix Canon CameraWindow, available for Android and iOS, lets you control the camera wirelessly at distances up to 5 m (and keeping and manual settings). You can save the images directly on your mobile device by one push of a button (also is available for the home PC, Twitter, Flickr, Google Drive, and Facebook). There is also a function of assigning tags photos with the built-in mobile device GPS.

Canon G3 X records video in the standard FullHD at 60 frames per second with progressive scan. It is possible to use a neutral density filter, the effect of “my colors”; have manual exposure settings, auto, corporate format iFrame, interval video shooting stars, shooting with filter “the miniature» (tilt-shift). Recording is carried out in the format of MP4, container MOV. Despite the headphone output and microphone input, to recommend to the professional use of Canon G3 X for the movie, I can not. Compared with the same Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 lacks 4K shooting, high bit rate, broadcast via HDMI, support for AVCHD. Everything is much simpler.

Amazing Optics

Lens from the new camera with nice zoom Canon PowerShot G3 X – the main feature of pride and model, Canon released its general optics not only for SLR models but compact. G7 X boasts best-in-class optics. G3 X on the characteristics of the lens is also extraordinary. Focal range: 8,8-220 mm (35 mm equivalent: 24-600 mm) aperture relative standard – f / 2.8-f / 5.6. At wide angle, suitable for shooting landscapes, you can shoot in the dark at a low ISO, it is convenient. Telephoto may be used primarily in normal lighting conditions or with high sensitivity. This is a limitation for the superzoom – are spared from Sony RX10 with a constant aperture, but it can boast a 10x zoom.

Picture lens pleasantly surprised – this from a similar superzoom not even expect it. In the wide-angle can achieve a decent sharpness and may even please the good bokeh in the telephoto image is noticeably “militia” and pixels – this image is suitable for publication in a small settlement on the Internet. For its size and characteristics of the lens, it works quite well – but we must bear in mind that it is valuable for its physical properties rather than artistic value outputted image.

Regarding the work of the sensor – everything is familiar. For its format very high-quality work – decent detailing, lightly crashing against the possibility of the lens, mediocre dynamic range, palely slightly, but, in general, close to the truth of color.

Auto works fine – the camera chooses from a large set of scenes, making it reasonably and accurately. The balance between high ISO and long exposure observed – no complaints either in too noisy or blurred images onto the machine. Shooting RAW in auto mode is not possible, as many software improvements.

Verdict – new camera with nice zoom

Photography has always been on the brink in art – the art of spying and record the reality in unexpected ways. From this position, new camera with nice zoom Canon PowerShot G3 X looks an almost perfect camera in its capabilities: the combination of a relatively large matrix and the huge zoom. People in the most unlikely positions that do not suspect that they are removed? Please. Amateur footage of animals? No problem. New camera with nice zoom G3 X can be a godsend for the traveler who wants it all. And landscape lift, and a portrait and reportage. Normal, in general, a set of top-end compact, only here it is multiplied by the working 25x zoom. Secondly, the picture is not very high at the maximum zoom. Third, the lack of the built-in viewfinder. And lastly could deter most potential pros or enthusiasts seeking Me simple and relatively compact camera for traveling.

If we look at it from an amateur point of view, it is like a new camera with nice zoom Canon PowerShot G3 X looks the most interesting in relation to competitors. And Sony RX10 II, and Panasonic FZ1000 win against Canon in terms of video, the Sony a bit of interest due to the constant aperture, zoom, but this combined with the compactness of the matrix at the same none of them can offer.

Pros:

  • The most compact camera in its niche
  • Excellent build
  • 25x zoom
  • Good picture quality
  • Good work at high ISO
  • Successful management
  • The connectors for microphone and headphone
  • Large and reclining touchscreen

Minuses:

  • The lack of a viewfinder
  • Low sharpness of the lens in telephoto
  • Mediocre possible when recording video
  • Swivel only vertical screen
  • Unpleasant booming stabilizer in the camera is turned off

The official Twitter of Motorola showed a new smart watches Moto 360. The first version of the gadget, we recall, is considered by experts the most beautiful gadget on Android Wear, and the docking station of a wireless charging looked impressive. However, smart watches have become hostages of the weak iron and because of that were not very popular.

Feature of new smart watches from Motorola

Photos and videos of the new Motorola new smart watches can be considered leak, although the probability is high that the way the company wants to attract additional attention to the device. So, originally published in the Twitter video, then it was replaced by images of prototypes, and then – and do delete the message from the page.

A similar story was observed in March, when Yuantsin Yang, CEO and chairman of the board of directors of Lenovo, on the personal page on the site Weibo posted a picture with metal and leather straps for smart watches, as well as a number of other components for a new generation gadget. These photos were removed soon after publication.

Once created new smart watches Moto 360 has moved from Google to Lenovo, the company decided to develop a new version of new smart watches. We already know that new smart watches of Moto 360 has a code name Smelt. In the photo, you can also say that the function key moved to the area two hours on the dial.

The lower part of the screen in the new version of Moto 360 is likely to remain inactive. In the first version, this segment is also given official purposes, while other manufacturers are now being developed with the full round the clock screen. In particular, Samsung prepares Gear S2, which were announced in the Galaxy Unpacked 2015 with smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + 5 and the Galaxy Note, but will be officially presented at the IFA 2015 in early September in Berlin.

In the video, the new Motorola smart watch is also visible modified design strap. Recall that in the first generation of the gadget due to the use of metal bracelets rear panel of the case quickly covered with cracks and cracked. Moto 360 new housing, by the way, have decided to make all metal and as a basis device chipset used on the architecture ARM v7a.

Experts expect that the new smart watches will be supported Moto 360 iPhone, and the similar feature will be implemented directly in the Android Wear. In addition, the battery life of the battery of the gadget should be increased to achieve competitive performance.
