TOP 3 DSLR cameras in 2018: which one would you like to have?

What's up guys..

 Image and video quality are outstanding, features continue to advance year after year, and they have the most varied selection of lenses. But the market is large, ranging from full frame (professional cameras with massive sensors) to a host of mid-range and budget models. Below we break down the top DSLRs on the market in 2018.

1.Nikon D850: ( $3,296.95 ) Body only


Category: Full frame
Sensor size: 858 sq. mm
Megapixels: 45.7
What we like: Exceptional image and video quality.
What we don’t: Limited availability.

 

For years, Canon has been a leader in full-frame DSLR innovation while Nikon laid in wait. Well, the wait was worth it. The D850 is an absolute powerhouse DSLR and one of the top cameras on the market of any type. Compared to the Canon 5D Mark IV below, the D850 wins out in most categories that matter: it has 45.7 megapixels of resolution vs. 30.4 on the 5D Mark IV, superior autofocus, faster buffering speeds, a higher resolution LCD screen, and significantly longer battery life. The 5D Mark IV weighs a little less and has built-in GPS, but given that both cameras are similar in price, we favor the D850 in a big way.
Understandably, the Nikon D850 has been a tough camera to get. It’s currently backordered at just about every major retailer, many of which aren’t offering specific dates of shipment. Nikon even admitted in an earlier press release that demand for the D850 far exceeded expectations, which has led to the shortage. In the meantime, the older Nikon D810 currently is selling for just under $2,800, but that’s not enough of a discount to get us very excited.

 

Specifications:


  • 45.7MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor
  • EXPEED 5 Image Processor
  • 3.2" 2.36m-Dot Tilting Touchscreen LCD
  • 4K UHD Video Recording at 30 fps
  • Multi-CAM 20K 153-Point AF System
  • Native ISO: 64-25600,Extended: 32-102400
  • 7 fps Shooting for 51 Frames with AE/AF
  • 8K Time-Lapse, Negative Digitizer Mode
  • 180k-Pixel RGB Sensor, Focus Shift Mode
  • SnapBridge Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

 

2. Canon EOS 5D mark IV : ( $3,099.00 ) Body only

 

Category: Full frame
Sensor size: 864 sq. mm
Megapixels: 30.4
What we like: 4K video and a host of other modern features.
What we don’t: The D850 above is so impressive that it overshadows the 5D Mark IV. 

 

Canon’s 5D Mark IV was at the top of this list for much of last year, until the release of the Nikon D850 that is. When you put the two head to head, it’s flat out hard to argue that the Canon is better. It has lower resolution, inferior autofocus (although it does have dual pixel), and doesn’t offer much in the way of additional features or functionality. Having said that, the 5D Mark IV is a quality camera and all that most Canon professionals and enthusiasts will need. If you already own a bunch of L series glass, sticking with Canon is a fine choice. And as we’ve come to expect, this is an arms race and Canon likely will respond in kind.
Who should buy the 5D Mark IV? It’s Canon’s top full-frame DSLR not built specifically for action (that would be the 1DX Mark II). The 5DS R below is a nice choice for professional landscape and portrait photographers who can afford super expensive lenses, but most people won’t be able to take full advantage of the sensor. And the 6D series Mark II is great from a value perspective but doesn’t offer the resolution or features of the 5D Mark IV. For these reasons, it’s the top overall Canon on this list.

 

  Specifications:

  • 30.4MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
  • DIGIC 6+ Image Processor
  • 3.2" 1.62m-Dot Touchscreen LCD Monitor
  • DCI 4K Video at 30 fps; 8.8MP Still Grab
  • 61-Point High Density Reticular AF
  • Native ISO 32000, Expanded to ISO 102400
  • Dual Pixel RAW; AF Area Select Button
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF and Movie Servo AF
  • 7 fps Shooting; CF & SD Card Slots
  • Built-In GPS and Wi-Fi with NFC 

3. Canon EOS 6D MARK II: ( $1,599.00) Body only

 

 

 Category: Full frame
Sensor size: 861 sq. mm
Megapixels: 26.2
What we like: One of the best values on this list.
What we don’t: Video shooters may want to spend up for the 5D series.

 

Here’s a fun one: if Canon’s 5D series above is too rich for your blood, the 6D series offers a reasonable entry point into the full-frame camera market. Released in 2017, the 6D Mark II offers notable improvements over its predecessor while still staying well below the $2,000 price threshold. Compared to the older model, you get a bump in resolution to 26.2 megapixels, a more advanced autofocus system, faster shooting, and touchscreen functionality on the rear LCD. All are solid improvements and the 6D Mark II is a really nice value, particularly for still photography (the 5D series is much better for video).
The Canon 6D Mark II currently is our favorite “budget” full-frame camera, beating out the older Nikon D750 below. Both are viable options with similar resolutions (the 6D Mark II is slightly better with 2 more megapixels) and frame rates (6.5 fps), but the Canon feels more modern with its touchscreen, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity, and newer processor. And we still have a soft spot for the original Canon 6D below, which is selling for a low $1,000 with the release of the newer model.

 

 Specifications:

  • 26.2MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
  • DIGIC 7 Image Processor
  • 45-Point All-Cross Type AF System
  • Full HD Video at 60 fps; Digital IS
  • 3" 1.04m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF and Movie Servo AF
  • Native ISO 40000, Expanded to ISO 102400
  • 6.5 fps Shooting; Time-Lapse & HDR Movie
  • Built-In GPS, Bluetooth & Wi-Fi with NFC
  • Dust and Water-Resistant; SD Card Slot

The best and most powerful laptop Alienware makes: the 2018 Alienware 17 R5

What's up guys.. So the Alienware 17 has always been a pretty powerful gaming laptop and you can get some really good configurations for like fifteen, sixteen hundred dollars but this is a little bit different, this is their most powerful system they've ever had, it's code named THE BALLER CONFIGURATION.. It's decked out, it's got the  i-9 8950HK so that new six core CPU that can clock up to 5.0GHz. It's got a GTX1080 OC (8GB GDDR5X that's running slightly overclocked, 32Gb of RAM, a ton of storage, most packed configuration, its just ridiculous, it is expensive but very powerful. The thing that makes this thing special is the CPU,  it's incredibly fast even at stock, so CPU dependent apps and games will just fly on this thing. The GTX1080 complements the CPU really nicely, if you're doing heavy video edits or 3D work or any kind of thing that's graphically intense this laptop can crush it but it does specialize in GAMING, incredib...

The new Dell G7 Gaming laptop review: could it be the best budget gaming laptop ?

What's up guys.. We finally have a white and blue gaming laptop, this is the DELL G7. This one is kinda of a refresh or an update from inspiron 7577 from last year which is a really big seller, This is like a version 2 of it if you want to call it that but it’s been rebranded, it’s not an inspiron product It’s called the Dell G7. Price Starting  at $849.99 Aesthetically speaking this is obviously very different, the white and blue color scheme is fresh for this year but it also comes in a black version like a black and blue version which also looks quite nice. The white material is actually way nicer than i thought it’d be, it’s like a flat or even like a glossy plastic, it’s a satin finish that looks kind of pearlescent almost, it’s really nice looking color and the blue on the logo is metallic and has this kind of greenish aqua reflectiveness to it so if you like bue, if you like white you’re gonna love   the aesthetics on this laptop. Now ...

Oneplus 6 review: Is it the best deal you can get in 2018 ?

What’s up guys... Today we are looking at the top new features and awesome things of the new and the hot PlusOne6. DISPLAY :                  The most obvious controversial change design is implementing the notch on the display inspired truly by apple , but their notch is smaller and it includes the front camera and a secondary speaker. The look of the notch is very similar to the huawei, the display is 6.2 inches with near 90% screen to body ratio so you will have plenty of screen area to play with and it still has a chin at the bottom which kinda sucks but the CEO has explained it perfectly basically requires a curved OLED display to implement a cheerless design which only Apple can do as of now so he sees the chin notch design in the future of most android phones until they finally figured out the tank Apple used to hide the chin but yet the hardest decision is the notch incl...
