EYE AM - Help children of developing countries to tell their own stories

Sara Hansson and Jens Lennartsson feel that the media at large has painted an unfair and inaccurate picture of children in developing countries. And so, they’ve founded an organization  EYE AM, the main goal of EYE AM is to let kids in developing countries change the way we see the world, through photography.

To do this they have to raise the money needed to buy the 20 sets of cameras and computers to make the three first photo workshops for kids in developing countries.

Jens Lennartsson – more about his project

Doing a crowdfunding project to make a great non-profit possible. It is called EYE AM and our mission is to do on-site photo workshops for kids in developing countries to give them the chance to tell their story from their perspective. Instead of letting common media be the only one, telling their sometimes flat and generalizing point of view.

In the crowdfunding campaign, people are able to pre-buy the book (among other rewards), to fund the project. In three weeks we are hoping to raise 25 000 euro that will make it possible to buy the 20 sets of cameras and computers needed.

The first three locations on their list: The Ukraine, Kenya and Ethiopia. If they reach their funding goal (€25,000 or about $33,350), they will be able to start their journey and travel to each of these in turn.

Leica X vario vs Fujifilm X100S


Take a look between the comparison of Leica X vario and Fujifilm X100S, the Leica X vario features 16 MP, APS-C CMOS image sensor and ISO 100-12500 on the other hand Fujifilm X100S features 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor and Expandable ISO 100-25600, take a look at the Major Specification Below.

About the sensors
A large APS-C CMOS image sensor is integrated into the X100S to provide high image quality and detail. Using Fujifilm’s unique X-Trans bespoke pixel array, the sensor is designed with a randomized pixel pattern to eliminate the need of an optical low-pass filter for reducing moiré and aliasing. By removing this filter from the design, higher image sharpness is possible. Lens Modulation Optimizer (LMO) factors are also taken into account using the EXR Processor II, which helps to automatically compensate for aberrations and diffraction blur in order to produce images with the utmost inherent sharpness. The image sensor also utilizes backside illumination technology to help with the integration of phase-detection pixels into the sensor for improved autofocus performance without affecting image quality.

Not much details available about Leica X vario uses APS-C size sensor features a resolution of 16.1MP.

Lens

Fujifilm features built-in 23mm f/2 fixed focal length lens gives a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 35mm, making it more compact and easy to carry.

Fujifilm offers 42 point AF system on the other hand Leica is limited to 11 point only.

ISO Range

The combination of the sensor and processor enables a native sensitivity range from ISO 200-6400, which is further expandable to ISO 100-25600. Leica Vario X offers an ISO sensitivity range of 100-12500.

Video mode

Capture HD 1920×1080 video at 30fps, In Fujifilm X100S Full HD movie recording is supported up to 1920 x 1080 at 60fps with a 36Mbps bit-rate for clear, fluid-looking videos.
