Canon EOS 1D X

The choices at this level are more or less two-fold if youre considering full-frame: Nikon D4S (below) or Canon 1D X.
Both cut it close and theres little to separate the two, but when it comes to being just a whisker ahead we think the Canon has it in the speed department. It offers the fastest-in-class burst mode, the battery seems to last forever and, importantly, its 18-megapixel full-frame sensor is just about perfect for all manner of jobs.
Some other full-frame models outperform in the resolution stakes, and its questionable as to whether Canon lost its "movie king" hat, but otherwise the 1D X is as good as professional full-frame DSLR cameras get.
PRICE: £4,845 (body only)

Canon EOS 70D

The 70D represents the DSLR in the post-mirror age. If youre looking for an all-rounder when it comes to both still images and movie capture then theres no other pure DSLR out there that can offer such a varied and successful feature set.
Its the cameras autofocus systems that wins out though. The Dual Pixel AF system - on-sensor phase-detection via live view and a different phase-detection system via 19-point AF system through the viewfinder - truly closes the gap on the compact system camera market. Weve been genuinely impressed how each system works independently depending on how you use the camera - and theres no compromise for one or the other. A revelation when considering how poorly the Canon EOS M functioned.
Its a shame that the 70Ds viewfinder doesnt offer a 100 per cent field-of-view, but otherwise a strong feature set - including a 3.2-inch, tilt-angle touchscreen - counters at almost every other avenue.
Great new technology, great image quality, and great in use - there are only a few nitpick shortcomings to the Canon EOS 70D. Otherwise its as close to redefining the mid-level DSLR sector as weve seen in recent years.
PRICE: £859 (body only, at time of writing)

The Canon LEGRIA mini X camcorder shows its potential in video

Canon







The Canon LEGRIA series features a good range of camcorders of all kinds, among which is the Canon LEGRIA mini X a mini camera that can be placed anywhere to get the most creative and sharp planes. It is intended as auxiliary camera for film professionals or shorts can record images in tight spaces or awkward places, as Canon has shown in a promotional video of this little camera. It is very compact and versatile in the sense that you can anchor to almost any surface and its lens is very light, to get good results but the light is not intense, such as when shooting indoors. It also integrates an LCD screen, microphone and connections to share images or copy them to another medium.



 The Canon LEGRIA mini X is designed to improve video productions, handling these complicated plans for large cameras. As is so small, you can get very creative framing. In the video we see as holding the car rear view mirror, getting closer the subject up. It is also useful if for example we want to record from inside a closet or take a subjective level as a resource. The Canon LEGRIA mini X offers very good quality and always framed flat thanks to its lens with f / 2.8 and so ultra wide angle or fisheye. In this way we can record from very close range those subjects out of the frame, although slightly deformed. To avoid reducing the foreground field of view to 64 degrees there mode. In this case the integrated stabilizer is necessary, as it helps to minimize camera shake, resulting in a more stable and smooth-motion video. The resolution is FullHD videos and can be stored in MP4 or 24Mbps AVCHD format. Besides its HDMI connection does not compress the signal. It also records videos in slow motion or fast motion, reducing the speed and multiplying by four. Includes an interval recording mode or Time-lapse, convenient to represent the time quickly.

 Its design makes it possible for us to be placed anywhere. It has a universal tripod with which we hold different accessories. The screen is hinged, to see the frame easily from any position and also includes a foldable stand for placement on flat surfaces. As mentioned, includes a stereo microphone can be adjusted manually. However, if the Canon LEGRIA mini X is used as auxiliary chamber, it is normal that the sound comes from another microphone, but can always be used to complement the main audio track. Finally highlight its WiFi connection to transfer photos to another computer or control from your smartphone or tablet.


 As we see in the video, drawings made with the Canon LEGRIA mini X have the same quality as those made with large format cameras. Canon LEGRIA mini X is very practical and versatile camera and costs about 400 euros.
