WiFi. One of the biggest is the addition of wifi. The live view that the smartphone app offers makes it much easier to compose the shot. It also means that they can include more options to change settings without introducing cluttered controls to the camera itself. Sept 11: Lexar has launched a new line of affordably priced UHS-II SD cards, the Silver Pro line. Sizes from 64GB to 512GB, write speeds of up to 160 MB/s and read speeds up to 280 MB/s.

Image Stabilization. This is new for this model and helps to counteract shakiness in video footage. There’s also the option of using a camera vest, which allows you to store your gear across your body and frees up your arms for other tasks.Nov 15: Nikon has released new firmware for the Nikon Zfc. Only listed change is support for a new model of battery that isn’t yet in stores (EN-EL25a). Its competitors vary greatly in concept and form. The Ricoh GR III and IIIx are built for urban documentary imaging, with ergonomics titled for one-handed operation and a snapshot focus mode for focus-free imaging. Fujifilm X100V (Credit: Jim Fisher) Once you start going down to low-light situations, like at night, things can get a bit more hit and miss. And it tends to get a bit of a magenta cast to the photos. The ISO starts at 100 and goes up to somewhere around 620 or so.

As much as they liked the idea of getting into large format photography, the requirement to source their own lenses/film holders was often a challenge. This got me thinking about how I could help those photographers get into analogue photography, without needing to build up their kit, and the pinhole camera is a perfect way to do that!” The camera takes standard 35mm film (Pic: Chroma Cameras) Next to that is a small wifi button that turns the wifi on and off. There aren’t any other settings or screens or controls on the camera. If you want to tweak the shooting modes you’ll need to connect to the camera from your phone using wifi and use the Cube+ app. Since the flashcubes advanced automatically along with film advance, there was no need to wait in between the shots. This was a lot faster compared to the previous flash methods.

This is the same kind of thing, but at night-time. The exposure is okay, but the high contrast detracts. Additional options include using a camera cube for travel photography or a camera holster, which can be fitted on your hip for ease of access. These flashcubes were detonated by a tiny explosive charge that gave rise to a bright flash of light. For each exposure, the flash fires and rotates 90 degrees when the film advance lever is rotated to bring a fresh bulb. This way one can take four images using a flashcube. But one mounting option I’ve found surprisingly useful is that there is a magnet embedded in the bottom of the camera. I’ve used it on a car’s hood and various other metal surfaces without the hassle of other kinds of mounting.
