Yc 3300 camera see same colors as the human eye.

We can’t say that we’ve ever heard of PaPaLaB, but all it takes to get on the consumer electronics radar is doing something that no one has ever done before. It’s one of those “easier said than done” things, we’re guessing. Any who, the Japanese outfit has just rolled out a camera system that has been proven to see the same colors as the human eye, a feat that was previously only achievable via huge, impractical camera rigs. The YC-3300, however, is far smaller and manageable than prior systems, and it has already been dubbed a “full-visible-color-gamut camera” by the powers that be. The creators expect it to primarily be used for photographing digital archives and for use in the medical field, but we’re already anxious to see such technology miniaturized further and ushered into the consumer market. Surely someone can make that happen before the next PMA kicks off, right ? The future looks exciting for photography. To read more on this and other new technologies go to Engaget.com .

Camera Of The Year.

This may come as a surprise to some however the 37.5 megapixel Leica S2 camera got camera of the year. While tough to categorize, the Leica S2 DSLR/Medium Format hybrid is so beautifully crafted and highly functional it’s almost like a niche for it existed all along. As a studio camera, the S2 is a swift and agile performer, able to pirouette and parry with even fast-moving dancer/models. As a field camera, it won’t keep up with a DSLR though image quality in good lighting is astounding. The sharpness and depth of color we got while photographing models in the studio with the S2 was among the best we’ve ever seen. The S2 could be the warning shot across the bow that medium format needs. The full review of the S2 wont be posted till 2010 but you can still find more on this article here.
