Video: Canon PowerShot SX70 HS Promo “Power of Zoom”

October 2, 2018 By Eric Reagan

Canon released this promo video last week for the PowerShot SX70 HS with its 65x optical zoom lens. In the video you get a sense of just how much reach the SX70 HS delivers, along with how well the Frame Assist Lock delivers viewfinder shake reduction to help keep the extreme telephoto shots in the frame.

Massively Compact Tamron 18-400mm DSLR Lens Coming Soon

June 19, 2017 By Eric Reagan

[Update: It’s official. The Tamron 18-400mm lens has been announced. Check it out here.]

The upcoming Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD lens has leaked out ahead of its official launch. I’m a big fan of the Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens, which I tested out in my Nikon D7200 Review. But somehow, Tamron has managed to shave a couple millimeters off the wide end and add 100mm onto the long end of this true superzoom DSLR lens! [Read more…]

Nikon Coolpix P900 Firmware Update ver. 1.2

August 12, 2015 By Eric Reagan

P900_BK_front34l_lo_w.high

Nikon has issued a firmware update for its new P900 superzoom. Firmware version 1.2 provides the following improvements:

  • An effort was made to fix an issue that prevented the shutter being released using the optional ML-L3 remote control when a person or object was immediately behind the camera. You should nevertheless select Off for EVF auto toggle in the camera setup menu when using the ML-L3.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the shutter to be released only once if the optional ML-L3 remote control was operated during movie recording, after which movie recording could not be ended using the movie-record button.

You can download the firmware update here on Nikon’s website.
