Samsung EX1 is equipped with the most advanced technology today to compete with Canon and Panasonic cameras on the market segment of high-level tourism.

 
Samsung which is not a big name among the camera manufacturers for the mass market as well as the high ranking level. When the number of dots on the race or integrated features are becoming saturated, companies have discovered to their own direction with the idea as one of a kind integrated auxiliary display on compact line ST, PL or less strategic flip mirror to produce "hybrid SLR" NX10 ... Version luxury travel camera EX1 (or TL500 in the U.S. market) continue to show creativity equipped with Samsung's unique "wide angle lens like 24mm f/1.8 aperture, rotating flip screen AMOLED , two disk mode and select a series of other advanced features.

Samsung EX1 is slightly larger than the size of a little over two opponents with the same class as the Canon S90 and the Panasonic LX3. Body weight of about 360 grams (battery not included) should be considerably difficult if you want to insert it into the pants pocket when go travel. The entire surface area of the EX1 grip is coated with a soft rubber ball is still slowing. When holding machine definitely feeling very slippery and not easy as S90 or LX3.

The front of the machine have an extra gear to help change the exposure in manual mode and shutter priority as the real DSLR. In addition, users can click on this gear to activate exposure compensation. This is a very innovative feature on the EX1, to help speed up operation and reduce errors by pressing the wrong button in quick shooting situations. On the grip, Samsung also more thoroughly integrated infrared sensor compatible with some of its remote control.

The top of the EX1 is to select two disks rotate, which, helped drive out the switching between the shooting modes and basic disk, the inner side assumed the role as the boot source, timer, single shot / continuous shooting and BKT (bracketing) used for HDR. Flashes sinking mechanism works much like the Canon S90 but instead controls the menu on the screen as competitors, users can turn off lights with mechanical buttons quite easily and quickly. Experimental fact that, due to the small size and slightly lower than the flip side of the machine but EX1 flash bright enough only to ensure at a distance of nearly three meters when setting ISO 100. If still not satisfied, users can mount more lights left on base as the line ED-SEF20A hotshoe flashgun capital for NX10 hybrid camera.

The rear EX1 a little bit tight due to the big screen have been eating and auxiliary button. However, the control system of the machine is extremely easy to get to know the layout of function keys relatively scientific and fairly intuitive menu design. EX1 provides 13 default scene, including some interesting modes like Beauty Shot help identify and then handle the brightness and color across the face, Frame Guide helps make available to another angle, only the base and press machine ... Machine support relative to the manual mode allows the selection of autofocus points in a frame and zoom the image when the user wants to focus manually. EX1 owners versatile swivel flip screen size 3 inches and resolutions up to 614,000 pixels, the largest in number of tourist cameras available on the market today. Combined with proprietary technology AMODLED Samsung, this monitor is capable of re-detail, color and contrast superior to traditional generation LCD. Display quality and viewing angle is still guaranteed even better in bright environments such as the sun or in the lab.

With ambitions to compete with "big brand" Canon and Panasonic in the segment of luxury travel camera, Samsung EX1 is equipped with the advanced technology available today. CCD-megapixel resolution, but only 10 have sizes up to 1 / 1, 7 inch, equivalent rivals Canon S90 (or G11) and only slightly smaller than the Panasonic LX3. Most of the features on the EX1 is a system of Schneider-Kreuznach lens with focal length ranging from 24mm wide angle to telephoto 72mm, with optical stabilization. Compared with the lens fitted on two versions of S90 and G11 with the focal length in turn is 28-135mm and 28-140mm, Samsung EX1 quite limited in their ability and shooting range layout but has the advantage than when faced with large areas of landscape. Because the focal length starting from 24mm 3x zoom of the EX1 should also allow the capture a bit more flexible compared to 2.5 x the LX3. In addition, Samsung EX1 also owns a large aperture lens is "horrified" f/1.8 and f/2.4 at the widest angle when maximum zoom, extra strength to fight off any rivals any in its segment. Aperture big advantage not only helps get the machine stable when shooting low light, but also a serious increase in the effective background shots clear of pressing need, which is a strength only on the camera lens series left.

According Dpreview, the EX1 lens optical quality is quite good. Average distortion 2.6% at the widest angle of 24mm and almost negligible when the maximum of 3x zoom. If you save files as JPEG compression, the machine will automatically reduce the user of this error should not worry almost to the processing software. Images lack contrast when shooting steam outdoors. Metering works very unstable so you should consider using more features exposure compensation in case of necessity. The color processor reproduced fairly accurately with the neutral component, not too bright or too dull. Noise reduction capability of the machine operation is also very impressive. Images are still quite smooth and when to raise the ISO to 800. At higher sensitivity, reducing noise of the EX1 mechanism works only at an average rate should remain fairly sharp images, not smooth like the Canon S90 or appearing too much like Panasonic LX3 hotel. A little interference as colored precipitates appear in dark image areas to raise the ISO to 800 but this bug is still acceptable.

Samsung EX1 support video recording with image quality is quite good but the resolution just stop at VGA (640 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second) and single-channel sound (mono). Battery life is quite high, about 250 types of Photographyblog test image and can be recharged at any computer via a USB connection.

With significant upgrades to their form as well as technology equipment inside, Samsung EX1 is a "new star" on tourism market advanced camera next to names waver from Panasonic or Canon. Machine is a rugged, bright screen, open the large lens, long battery life and is far more better quality pictures even in low light conditions.

Faster dialing with Google Voice on Android and Blackberry devices

(Cross-posted with the Google Voice Blog)

At Google we are obsessed with speed. Our mantra is faster = better. This is true for our Google Voice mobile apps as well. When you want to make a call, your phone should connect you as quickly as possible, whether you’re calling via Google Voice or not.

Today we are launching an enhancement to the Google Voice mobile app on Android and Blackberry phones, which makes placing calls much faster. We call this feature “direct access numbers.” Here’s how it works:

Until today, the Google Voice app had to make a request to the Google Voice server every time you wanted to make a call to send us the phone number you wanted to dial. Then the call would be connected via a Google Voice access number. With direct access numbers, we assign a unique phone number to every person you call. This means that we no longer need to use your data network to access the server each time you make a call, so calls will be placed much faster.

The updated Android app is available from Android Market starting today. For Blackberry users, you can download the app by visiting http://m.google.com/voice from your mobile device. You will need a valid Google Voice account to use the app, and at this time, Google Voice is available in the US only.

Although equipped with features such as LED flash, auto-capture capability, night shooting, panorama shooting or continuous shooting, but the camera's resolution is not high, plus the lack of auto travel dynamic focus (autofocus), pictures taken by Nokia C5 only average quality.

Besides, the video features of the C5 also stop at the level of "entertainment" is the key. With only supports VGA video frame rate 15 fps, the C5 is only relevant video presentation on mobile devices small screen.

Was released along with the NEX-5, but NEX-3 is lower than the version with the ability to shoot 720p HD video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels at 30 frames per second than 1080i AVCHD Full HD resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels of the NEX-5. However, both models have the same HD image sensor APS Exmor CMOS Sensor (23.4 × 15.6 mm) 14.1 megapixel resolution.

NEX-3 compact size almost equivalent to the machine for travel weighing only about 297 grams of whole body and less than 500 grams when fitted with 18-55 mm lens. When you try mount 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, machine still feels sure when handling birds with one hand although the focus is skewed slightly to the left and the grip is not really optimized for use as DSLR.

An interesting addition in the NEX-3 is a screen of this model can be turned down 45 degree angle and rotation angle of 80 degrees above. With this versatile screen, users can comfortably compose in cases of difficult shooting situations. Although there is no interactive touch, but this screen is equipped with Sony to 921,600 pixel resolution.

This defect can be considered negligible because the Sony direction of their products to users familiar only with the compact simple to use but want to have superior image quality. In addition, NEX-3 also has an accessory port on the flash to help add more or viewfinder. Although the mechanism is quite clever removable but users will still need time to get familiar with the many stages of this.

Like the other compacts, NEX-3 little buttons, making operation of the machine parameters change in the regime, especially manual mode is complex. Aperture and shutter speed can be adjusted through the two navigation buttons but ISO and other parameters need to click through to the last few times can be changed as desired. In this case, the Auto function will probably always be the choice of the user familiar.

NEX-third to nearly two seconds from power on to the first photo shoot. When Auto Mode Review (auto review right after image capture), then this camera is quite slow with two seconds more time to be able to shoot the next picture.

Image quality of Sony NEX-3 are commendable indeed. Very sharp image, especially when using the daylight, the contrast is quite good and comparable with many DSLR models available in the market today.

However, the most prominent point in the NEX-3 to speak to is able to reduce noise. Sony's camera almost eat off all the other Micro Four Thirds model. In experimental tests taken under neon lights in the room, NEX-3 for a stable image quality from ISO 200 to 800 level, while to the 1600 level, noise starts to appear, the image is still usable even at ISO 6400 and details are still visible at ISO12.800. ISO levels of support to date which only appears in DSLR models.

Battery test machine can be taken continuously over 320 models after each charge. However, the actual figure may be lower due to the process used, the screen will be wasting a lot of battery compared to the burst test.
