Bastante lejos quedaron ya los días en los que Nikon lanzó al mercado su primer cámara sin espejo. La Nikon J1 de 2011 fue una novedosa mezcla entre una cámara Point & Shoot, y la particularidad de las DSLR para intercambiar lentes de manera rápida y segura. Sin embargo, la cámara era bastante frágil y no era particularmente barata. Pero no fue hasta 2019 que Nikon realmente logró un progreso sustancial respecto a los sistemas de cámaras sin espejo. Más vale tarde que nunca, ¿o no?

Muchas cosas nos han tomado por sorpresa este año. Pero al hablar de cámaras es quizá Olympus quien nos sorprendido de sobremanera hasta este día. A pesar de su anuncio oficial a principios de junio de 2020 sobre el abandono del mundo de la imagen, Olympus anuncia una nueva cámara llamada OM-D E-M10 IV. Dicho esto, no podemos evitar especular que este será el último modelo de camara producida por Olympus que veremos jamás. De ser nuestra hipótesis correcta, seremos testigos (tristemente) del final de un legado que inició en 1936.

The laptop bag has its origins in the traditional briefcase. It is rectangularly shaped, but unlike a briefcase which is typically made from rigid material such as leather, the laptop bag is often made from soft material. While the design of laptop bags will vary, they almost always have a few features in common:

• A large internal compartment to securely store the laptop during transport
• Additional interior compartments for holding papers and documents
• Smaller compartments for storing accessories such as mouse pads and cell phones
• A set of handles, a short one along the long side for hand-carrying and a long, adjustable strap to turn the carrier into a shoulder bag, freeing up the user’s hands for other tasks

CPU related, Apple's Press Release says the following about particular softwares when compared to the previous 8-core 27" iMac:

• Up to 65% more plug-ins in Logic Pro X
• Up to 40% faster 8K ProRes transcode in Final Cut Pro X
• Up to 35% faster rendering with Arnold in Autodesk Maya
• Up to 25% faster build time in Xcode

And GPU-wise: 

• Up to 55% faster rendering in Maxon Cinema 4D ProRender
• Up to 50% faster demo fly-through in Unity Editor
• Up to 45% faster performance in "Total War: Three Kingdoms"
• Up to 30% faster timeline rendering in Final Cut Pro X

The key main spec upgrades are these:

• 20 Megapixel sensor against 16 Megapixel
• They both have the same TruePic VIII image processor, but Mark's IV is a bit more improved
• Up to 4.5 stops of correction vs. 4, and they both have 5-axis in-body image stabilization
• A bit less burst rate of 4.5 fps burst shooting with auto-focus vs. 4.8

Despite its weight and large sensor, the camera remains compact as an M series should be. With the battery included, The M10-R body weighs a bit more than half a kilogram (660 grams to be precise), and has the following dimensions: 139x38.5x80mm. Fortunately for us, and several other non-purist users**, the camera comes with a touch 3" screen, and a very much appreciated Gorilla Glass fabrication.

Long-gone are the 2011 days when Nikon came up with the interesting, yet not sufficient, J1 mirrorless camera. A good looking merge between a...

A mouse pad is a surface for moving a computer mouse. It has a surface that is optimized for idea control of your mouse. It is designed to increase the usability of the mouse, especially compared to using the mouse directly on a table or desk. Choosing the right mouse pad can make a difference in how you navigate your computer.

Es lógico de esperar que si un modelo de cámara posea una serie de números, estos correspondan de alguna manera a algún tipo de correlativo o de un orden por lo menos. Pero con la EOS R5 y la EOS R6, Canon decidió que esta tradición lógica ya no era necesaria. Además, tampoco es la primera vez que nuestros amigos japoneses nos confunden con sus series (¿o que ya olvidaron la EOS 5DS R y la EOS 5DS?).

One expects that if camera models have numbers, they should correspond to some sort of ordinal correlative. But with the EOS R5 and EOS R6, Canon has decided that this tradition is no longer needed. Also, this isn't the first time Canon has confused us with labeling conundrums (remember the EOS 5DS R and the EOS 5DS without the R DSLR cameras?), but this time they went even further with the R5 and R6.

Earlier this year, before the whole World getting up-side-down, Fujifilm unveiled one of the most awaited cameras in their line-up so far, the X100V. Seriously, there was a ton of speculative stuff around the fifth generation of the X100 series; and some of those included some really wacky designs and odd features. Fortunately for us, Fuji stuck to the classic design, and decided to please us with one of the most fantastic cameras ever being made!
