Buying Guide: Best camera remote shutter releases

By TechRadar, published 15-12-2011

There are many reasons why you might want to trigger your camera's shutter remotely, and there are a range of wired and wireless remote releases enable you to do this. Wireless remotes are particularly useful when taking group shots with yourself in the frame, or when it isn't practical to stand directly behind your camera at the time of capture, such as with certain type of nature photography. Cheaper wired remotes, meanwhile, are just as suitable as wireless types when you want to trigger the camera without touching the shutter release button, such as for macro photography where camera stability is vital to achieving a sharp image.So here's our selection of our favourite camera remote releases, all of them available for under £100.Canon RS-80N3 - £45This Canon controller connects to po...

Best tripods under £200: 8 reviewed

By TechRadar, published 16-11-2011

Tripods explainedThe latest SLRs and lenses stretch the boundaries of handheld shooting. Cameras such as the Canon EOS 1100D, EOS 600D, EOS 60D and EOS 7D and Nikon D3100, D5100, D7000, and D300S offer low image noise at very high ISO ratings, enabling faster shutter speeds in dull lighting conditions, and many recent lenses boast 4-stop optical stabilisation to help fend off camera shake. So why buy a tripod?For the ultimate in image quality, you just can't beat sticking with your camera's base sensitivity setting, typically ISO 100. And image stabilisation can be hit-and-miss, especially with long telephoto lenses or in very dull lighting conditions. With a sturdy tripod, you're assured of a stable shooting platform. But that's just the start of the story.Positioning your camera on a tri...

Students send Nikon D300S into space

By TechRadar, published 24-10-2011

Two students from Texas have launched a Nikon D300S into space packed in a beer cooler and GPS tracked with an old mobile phone. The camera, attached to a small spacecraft called Cygnus was launched at 9.02am on October 15th, touching back down to earth less than three hours later at 11.56am. During that time, the camera took several photos, but was marred by condensation on the lens which ruined some of the photos. The students, Erich Leeth and Terry Presley, say they will be launching another camera into space in around 2 weeks time, after having learned from the mistakes of the first attempt. This is not the first time that someone has launched a camera into space using a home-made device, but usually cheap compact cameras are used. The Nikon D300s and accompanying Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ...

Hands on: Sony Alpha 77 review

By TechRadar, published 26-08-2011

Electronic viewfinder, AF and continuous shootingOn paper the Sony Alpha 77 can't fail to impress with its 24.3Mp APS-C format CMOS sensor, 2.4 million dot OLED electronic viewfinder, 19 AF points (11 cross-type), 12fps full-resolution shooting and translucent mirror technology. Enthusiast photographers, however, are more interested in how the camera performs than the numbers on its spec sheet and the question of everyone's lips is, is the Sony A77 is a serious competitor for the likes of the Canon EOS 7D and Nikon D300S?We only be able to answer this question properly after a full test, but our head of testing, Angela Nicholson, got her hands on a preproduction sample and spent a couple of days shooting with it to inform this hands-on review.Electronic ViewfinderFor many experienced photo...

Review: Olympus E-5

By TechRadar, published 30-03-2011

A 12.3 million pixel sensor borrowed from the E-PL1, a new TruePic V+ processing engine, 720p movie recording and an electronic level are all improvements that the Olympus E-5 has on the E-3, but is that enough to tempt Four Thirds photographers to buy an E-5?It's unusual for a camera manufacturer to announce a camera and say that it may be the last in the line, but that's just what Olympus has done with its E-5 release, the replacement for the E-3. With this Olympus E-5 news, the company isn't saying it will be the last top-end E-series camera, but it may be the last one with an optical viewfinder and reflex mirror.Olympus is also keen to point out that removing the mirror from DSLR doesn't have to result in a smaller camera; it could be done to create space for new, previously unthought ...

Review: Canon EOS 60D

By TechRadar, published 03-01-2011

It's only natural to view the Canon 60D as a replacement for the semi-pro EOS 50D. As well as following on in typical numerical sequence, Canon also pronounced the EOS 50D obsolete at the same time as launching the new camera.Indeed, the Canon 50D was certainly showing its age, being outclassed even in many respects even by the more novice-friendly EOS 550D, including sensor resolution and the ability to shoot movie clips.Sure enough, the Canon 60D boasts a host of new goodies including an 18MP sensor, 1080p HD movie capture with a choice of frame rates and Canon's new iFCL metering system. And while the 3:2 aspect ratio LCD has the same 1,040k pixel resolution as on the Canon 550D, this time it comes with full pivoting facilities - a first for any Canon D-SLR.On top of that, you get an ex...
