BenQ G1 - First Pro Compact From BenQ

BenQ G1 is the first pro compact camera made by BenQ, the camera features Panasonic 14 Mega Pixels, 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor,F1.8 bright lens with 4.6x optical zoom, ISO rating from 100 to 6400, the G1 have 3.0″ 920k pixels swivel LCD and also features Full HD and HD video recording at 30fps.

New in BenQ G1

The F1.8 Lens

  • The BenQ G1 lens has seven lenses elements in six groups, including an aspherical lens element that improves focus and image integrity by correcting visual aberrations and minimizing illumination loss.
  • The high-transmission, part-glass lens material and a wide lens thread of 17mm increase light transmission to achieve optimum visual clarity in dimly lit environments or at night.
  • A lens shift-type image stabilizer paired with an advanced digital image processor effectively reduces image noise and blur caused by hand jitters.
  • A shallow depth of field greatly blurs the background to create beautiful bokeh pictures.

New 14 Mp CMOS sensor by Panasonic
A 14M pixel CMOS sensor with embedded light-sensitive diodes increases the pixel-by-pixel light absorbance volume to achieve twice the light transmission rate as a traditional sensor component and to lower image noise by 50% – so ultra-clear photos can be created without a tripod in low light environments and at night. Low voltage image transfer further lowers power consumption, allowing more time for video- and photo-shooting.

High-Speed Dual Core DSP

  • A dual core operation processes high resolution images and multiple tasks efficiently to deliver Full HD videos and continuously shot photos without increasing power consumption.
  • Next-generation image processing pipelines transmit high resolution images with low-light sensitivity to offer optimum image and video quality in low light settings or fast-moving scenes.
  • The new noise cancellation function produces clear and vivid images even with increased ISO sensitivity under a dim light source.
  • Exclusive Image Registration and Ghost Image Removal technologies further perfect the performance of multi-image composing features such as Handheld Night Shot, HDR and Background Defocus.

Manual Modes

  • M (Manual) Mode: This feature allows you to set the shutter speed and aperture value freely to take photos with higher flexibility.
  • Av (Aperture Priority) Mode: 14 aperture value choices at zoom 1 enable you to highlight your photographic theme and create images with great depth.
  • Tv (Shutter Priority) Mode: This feature allows you to adjust the shutter speed according to your moving subjects to clearly capture dynamic images.
  • P (Program) Mode: The camera will automatically adjust the shutter speed and aperture value, so all you need to do is focus on forming the perfect composition.

BenQ G1 features High Resolution: 920k Swivel Screen display

Other new Features

Background Defocus Simulating the shallow depth of field effect of a DSLR camera, the G1 automatically captures two shots with different depth of field and layers them together to create a soft, blurry background that highlights the subject of your image.

In camera HDR: The HDR-Art feature applies the same mechanism as the HDR image enhancement technology to combine multiple photos with a dynamic range of exposure levels adjusted between the brightest and darkest areas of the photo. As a result, a stunning artistic image that is perfectly balanced in contrast and brightness is created.

other mode includes sketch-style image, color filters, Oil Painting Mode and MagiQ Filter.

Price and availability details TBA soon

Canon 650D Review Round-Up

Many new reviews are coming above the surface, A quick reminder – What’s new in Canon 650D – The Canon 650D comes with new phase & contrast detection AF system, the Canon 650D is the first DSLR of canon to feature Full Time AF during video shooting and also word’s first DSLR to feature touch screen display, Let’s have a look what other say about Canon 650D DSLR

Canon 650D review published at tech radar, Tech radar tested Canon 650D sensor and published some important result
signal to noise ratio (SNR)
In JPEG images of Canon 650D look bit similar to Canon 600D, but the TIFF images (converted RAW files) of Canon 650D are better and have less noise at high ISO compared to 600D
Dynamic Range

JPEG images of Canon 650D shows better dynamic range than 600D but if we compare the RAW output of 650D, it shows a much improved dynamic range than the 600D.

Final verdict by tech radar

We have to admit, we’re pretty excited about the Canon EOS 650D. It seems that Canon has decided to stick with existing pixel counts (or close to them in the case of the 5D Mark III) and concentrate on making its DSLRs more user-friendly by improving ergonomics and adding new features…..Although we want to do plenty of testing with a full-production sample, the early signs for Canon’s Live View and video Hybrid AF system are good. Judging by our experience with the 40mm f/2.8 lens, videographers will find that it works particularly well with the new STM lenses.

Conclusion by Cnet UK

The Canon EOS 650D is packed with cool features, including a responsive multi-touch touchscreen and full high-definition video. It’s a serious package for a camera aimed at those who are new to dSLRs or want to avoid spending paying a huge amount. It offers better low-light performance in terms of resolving detail at high ISOs.

Good

  • Full HD video
  • Touchscreen with multi-touch
  • Dedicated video switch
  • Improved video controls
  • Continuous AF in video
Bad

  • Pricey compared to a Micro Four Thirds camera
  • Heavier weight and bulk not ideal for long periods of video recording
