Adding Wi-Fi to camera is the hip thing to do right now, and for good reason. With everyone in the camera business working hard to give you plenty of reasons to buy a camera instead of using your smartphone, having that internet connection for instant uploads is absolutely crucial. That’s part of the reason smartphone cameras are so popular: instant sharing.

The economy camera market has really changed as technology has matured, and Samsung’s DV150F is a perfect example of how far we’ve come. In this elegant little pocket camera Samsung has packed a ton of great tech to help you take better pictures. 

This might sound familiar: you’ve been into photography for a while, you’ve graduated from a point and shoot to a DSLR, and you’ve started looking into new lenses to help expand your range as a shooter. But you’re seeing a lot of notes about “crop factor”, and that when you learn that your DSLR has a “cropped sensor”. The next step is to do a little research, figure out what that means, and what you should do about it. Congratulations, this is where you are right now!

Adobe Photoshop is the preeminent photo-editing software and platform in the world today. Everyone knows that. And the word “Photoshop” has even become a verb to describe edited images. Photoshop moved to the iPad and Android tablets last year, and most recently came to the iPhone and iPod Touch and Android smartphones. The app is fairly deep and intuitive on smaller screens, but keeping your expectations reasonable should ensure that you’re better prepared to deal with its challenges.

Waterproof cameras aren’t magic and they’re not bulletproof. As cool as they are, there are a few things you need to know about the care and feeding of your waterproof camera to keep it shooting for a good long time.

With the announcement of the Canon T5i today it might seem to be a full day for the big red machine, but it’s not so! Canon has another new revelation in the pipe, and this might actually be bigger news, even though the camera is smaller.  The other new camera Canon is launching is the Canon SL-1.

Canon made big news today with the announcement of the upcoming release of the Canon T5i, the next in the series of one of the world’s most popular DSLRs.

The FUJIFILM X-E1 bridges the gap beween the professional-grade X Pro-1 and the delightfully understated XF1. For consumers looking for a smart middle ground between these two cameras, the X-E1 gives them an excellent way to enter that space, joining the thousands of happy X-series owners in creating incredible art with these amazing camera bodies and lenses.

The FUJIFILM XF1 continues the tradition of FUJIFILM’s X-series of digital cameras, bringing powerful photography technology together with a retro style. These cameras have been well-received by photographers across Canada, and this new entry into the lineup brings a high performance, lower cost X-series camera into reach for more photographers out there. It’s an exciting new product that we’re thrilled to have a preview of for you today.

Samsung’s Galaxy Camera is an Android-powered smart device with a high quality lens and sensor. It’s a camera with incredibly flexible software and complete access to the Google Play Store. This model has Wi-Fi, making it even more accessible to Canadians across the country. 

Today Nikon announced the release of their new D7100 HD-SLR, and we’ve got a first look at it here on Future Shop TECH Blog.

The D7100 is an evolution of the D7000, features a higher resolution CMOS sensor, weighing in a 24.1 megapixels. This is a DX-format sensor, so there’s a 1.3x crop factor, and compatibility with the full range of DX lenses.

The Sony NEX-5R is another in Sony’s series of Mirrorless NEX cameras. It’s a mid-range model with Touchscreen capabilities and built-in wifi. It’s a classy little camera with a tough body and some great features. Let’s take a look at it.

Olloclip has a new lens for the iPhone 5 that is already made and could come to Future Shop really soon. I’ve already had one for a few weeks, and saw it again here at CES. The issue I’ve always had with using it is that my iPhone 5 is in a case, and I’m not a fan of taking it out each time I want to shoot something. Looks like Olloclip heard all the gripes about that, too.

I’m not a big fan of Facebook for photos in general. They play fast and loose with copyright rules, and have had a nasty habit of using your photos to advertise to your friends, sometimes with awkward results, like suggesting weight-loss solutions or showing friends that you’re newly single.

It’s unfortunate news to anyone who initially paid $4.99 to scoop up Snapseed for iOS and Android, but it’s now free to download, and could be a perfect companion for whatever photos you choose to shoot over the holidays, regardless of where you might be.
