The Panasonic Lumix GX7 (left) and Lumix LX100 side-by-side. They offer same sized Four Thirds sensors, but the LX100’s lens is fixed where the GX7’s is interchangeable.  It was fine once upon a time for the compact camera department to ignore and be ignored by the department that made interchangeable lens system cameras. The difference between the two types of cameras was so great and the target market usually so different that there was very little chance of one stepping on the toes of the other. There...

Ready to Upgrade Your Kit Lens? Tips for Which Lens to Invest in Next

A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Most cameras come with a kit lens that generally works well as a decent all-around workhorse. A common focal range for these lenses is 18-55mm, which means they are capable of wide-angle shots as well as medium-telephoto pictures, and everything in between.

Of course some kit lenses cover a longer focal range and have different maximum apertures, but overall most...

You will know what lens and settings best suit the...

DynaOptics wants to bring zoom lenses to smartphones

Camera modules in smartphones have rapidly improved over the past few years. Thanks to advances in sensor technology, optical image stabilization systems, faster apertures and clever software algorithms, smartphone image quality can rival and in some instances even surpass consumer level compact cameras. However, when shooting scenes that require a longer focal length, for example sports or wildlife, the lack of optical zoom on smartphone cameras becomes a real limitation. There is simply no space for zoom lenses in today’s...
