Canon dubbele winnaar Tipa Awards 2005

[M3 eXtreme]

De TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) Awards 2005 zijn uitgereikt.

En Canon heeft 2 prijzen binnen weten te slepen.

namelijk:

Best D-SLR Entry Level: Canon EOS 350D

With its CMOS 8.2MP sensor and Digic II image-processor, the Canon EOS 350D is the most compact and powerful digital SLR camera on the market, and comes with a very attractive price-tag. While being easy to use, it also incorporates the latest technology employed by high-end models in the Canon professional range. It can be used either on its fully automatic setting, or with complete manual control of shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings, thus allowing newcomers to develop their photographic skills. The EOS 350D is compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses, giving an unparalleled choice of optics for the discerning user.

Best D-SLR Professional: Canon EOS-1 DS Mark II

The real sensation of the year, this EOS 1Ds Mark II has pushed digital photography to a new level, by creating image files up to 16.7 MP. This amazing output not only enables print-sizes up to 60x90cm, but also ensures that professionals can safely crop images without the fear of losing quality. In addition to the awesome file sizes, its 24x36mm CMOS sensor is a true full-frame, so keeps the focal lengths of lenses exactly equivalent to those of 35mm film SLRs. This is a huge
advantage to users of wide-angle lenses, and the large viewfinder image that results gives professional photographers the clarity they need for critical composition and focusing. The image processing is also second-to-none, and offers excellent detail at high sensitivity, up to at least ISO 800.

Daarnaast heeft Tamron ook een prijs gewonnen met een lens:

Best Consumer Lens: Tamron AF18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro

The Tamron AF18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro provides the photographer using an APS-sized sensor D-SLR camera with the versatility of a true wide to ultra-tele zoom in an amazingly compact design. The lens features an entirely new optical system using XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass to optimize the optical quality throughout the entire zoom range. This design reduces aberrations to a minimum and makes this lens the ‘Best Lens 2005’ winner.

Dat bevestigd nog maar eens dat Canon het zeer goed doet in de DSLR markt. Waar is meneer Nikon??????????

[BasZ]

Leuk om te lezen inderdaad
Vooral het feit dat Nikon nie echt met goede dingen meer komt...

Toch heeft Nikon een prijs gewonnen met hun lens:

Best Professional Lens: AF-S VR Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED


This new ultra-sensitive long-focal length lens represents the new standard of today’s optical technology. The 13 lens elements are stacked in 9 groups and produce a remarkable sharpness at the widest aperture of f/2, while at f/5.6 the results are exceptional. The AF-S system’s internal motor provides fast, accurate and silent focusing, and the Vibration Reduction (VR) technology offers an optical stabilizer which allows slower shutter speeds when hand-holding. With a Nikon digital SLR, the lens gives the equivalent of a 300mm f/2, which is perfect for sport and wildlife shooting in low-light conditions.

Een 200mm F2.0 is inderdaad wel erg aardig...

Canon heeft zoiets (nog) niet, alleen maar een 100/2.0 en een 135/2.0
