http://jacobjamesphotography.co.uk/gear-review/panasonic-gx8-review
Skip to primary navigation. Skip to primary sidebar. Panasonic GX8: An Evolving Review. So what has changed? Panasonic GX8: First Impressions and Design. The second biggest improvement that Panasonic have bought to the GX8 is its improved ISO performance and ISO range. In the GX8, we now have an expanded ISO range of 100-25,600 compared with the GX7’s 125-12,800. From my initial tests it appears there is around 1 stop better low light performance over the GX7 but I am hoping to update this review...The G...

Drone and UAV Technology Reviews, Articles, News, Build Logs. Multirotor Aircraft / UAV. Mini Drone Review: ARRIS V676 2.4G Super Mini UFO RC Quadcopter RTF. Friday, December 11th, 2015. What a fun article this has been doing the research for. Today I’m reviewing the very fun, tiny-tiny Arris V676 Mini UFO RC Quadcopter Drone. This is a micro drone which is roughly 1.25 to 1.5 inches from motor to motor. Gyroscopically leveled quadcopter flies smooth and steady. Super-small. Can be taken anywhere. Here&#...

Drone and UAV Technology Reviews, Articles, News, Build Logs. Multirotor Aircraft / UAV. Discouraged on Alien H4 680 Quadcopter Post-Crash Rebuild. Sunday, May 3rd, 2015. H4 Alien 680 Quadcopter during initial build…. I’m now thinking that this motor is damaged. Perhaps the post is bent, or the bearings are compromised, or both. Now I’m faced with whether to pull it apart and try to replace the parts, or just buy another motor and see how that works. I will either pull apart the motor and try to see if t...

Jupiter 8 on Micro Four Thirds Review | NICO-FOTO
http://www.nico-foto.com/jupiter-8-on-micro-four-thirds-review
Jupiter 8 M43 Review. Soviet retro at its best. The Jupiter 8 50mm f/2, a Zeiss Sonnar clone from the former Soviet Union. If you’re into experimentation, manual focus lenses, or just enjoy “vintage” gear, at around $50 it is a bargain, and can be easily found on ebay. It has that cool Soviet era retro look, with engraved cyrillic characters and the KMZ logo that make you dream of cosmonauts, spies, Lada cars, and cold war paranoia as well, but let’s not think about that for a moment. Thanks to Tedolph a...
