How would this not sound strange at the beginning of the XXI century but the Leica engineers have developed a camera model that can please the owner and the fans of his art exclusively in black and white shots. This was done in order to create the first full frame 35mm format digital camera that is designed exclusively for black and white photography without compromise which would have revived the traditions established by a series of film cameras Leica M.

With a resolution of 18 megapixels camera’s sensor Leica M Monochrom provides in comparison with the similar color matrices this 100% sharpness. Since the camera’s sensor does not see color, then each pixel writes the true meaning of the luminance signal and as a consequence the matrix provides a true black and white. The combination of the characteristics of Leica M series lenses and the black matrix gives the output images of high sharpness and clarity. Camera Leica M Monochrom provides a histogram of RAW-data for the complete control of image tone dialing. In contrast to the conventional histogram, the histogram displays the RAW-data real data recorded sensor camera. That in combination with clipping control over the display allows for precise correction of exposure and to choose its optimal value.

The cost of the camera is close to $ 8,000, and the software bundle includes Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 and Silver Efex ProTM, as well as an exclusive offer for printing photos on photo paper, barite premium using the technology of “wet” chemical processes based on silver halides. Argued that impressions are practically not differ from the impressions received by analog printing from film negatives.

praveen — Sun, 13 May 2012 13:38:53 +0000

New flagship device from Samsung began to know the specification it was rumored that a version for the North American market will be different from the world. The reason for this was called the need for a flagship device in the U.S. have the support networks of the fourth-generation standard LTE. In this case there was a problem, the processor Exynos 4 Quad which is equipped with Galaxy S III is not designed to work in networks of such a standard so it will be replaced by Qualcomm Snapdragon S4. However, the network has a banner ad from a Canadian operator Rogers Communications which indicates that their version of the Samsung Galaxy S III will receive new Exynos processor and support LTE standard networks.

Unfortunately, information that contains a banner does not answer the question what exactly was meant by new processor. It is possible that it will not be modified Exynos 4 Quad which is adapted to be able to work with networks of LTE-standard. We can not exclude the fact that Samsung will have time to start selling the smartphone Galaxy S III to manufacture chipsets Exynos 5 which should be put into production during the second quarter of 2012. This version of the processor was originally adapted to a network LTE rather than the current generation of chipsets Exynos 4.
