Consumer Electronics Show Coverage for 2017

Consumer Electronics Show 2017

SmartReview.com gathered the latest information on Digital SLRs during our visits to the Consumer Electronics Shows in Las Vegas (CES 2016-2017). Here is a short overview of what caught our attention at the show in regards to Digital SLRs and Mirrorless Cameras. Some of the biggest breakthroughs were in focus technology, especially in regards to video autofocus. Canon introduced the Canon EOS 80D (2016-2017 Model) with Dual-Pixel CMOS technology, which is now being put into more cameras. All of our recent CES videos were shot with the Canon EOS 70D , which did a superb job in pictures and video, and was the first camera with the dual pixel cmos technology. Mirrorless cameras (especially from Sony) have taken off. Sony has produced mirrorless cameras with high ISO (SO 409,600), which are great for low light photography and video. Panasonic has a big selection of mirrorless 4K capable cameras, some with 5 axis Dual IS onboard. The latest camera is the Panasonic GH5.

All of the Panasonic 4K capable cameras have special 4K photo modes, such as 4K Burst mode, 4K post focus (choose your focus point after the shot), 4K focus stacking (choose the focus points you want included in a composite picture). The 4K Ultra HD video is truly stunning, as we have tested this out with the Lumix GX85 (see pic above). The big news for Panasonic is the new Lumix GH5 with all the pro features for shooting video and pictures. Panasonic also has a fantastic image stabilization called 5 Axis Dual IS which uses in body as well as lens image stabilizers and an electronic stabilizer to provide rock solid steadiness. This latest feature is available in GX85, G80, and GH5.
