Apple iPad 2 vs Canon EOS 600D (T3i) - which is the better camera?


People have been damning the recently introduced Apple iPad 2 for having a pitiful sub-megapixel camera on its back-side and an even worse one facing forwards. So, we give it a totally un-biased comparison with a Canon EOS 550D...er...600D. Without cheating of course. NOTE: Please be aware that elements of the video were done with a bit of the tongue planted in one's cheek, so please do not consider everything in this video to be an authentic representation of the truth.

DigitalRev TV - Camera Focus Test


In this video we conduct a slightly unscientific test comparing 3 of the focusing systems used in cameras today: Phase detection; Contrast detection and manual focus with a rangefinder. We use the Canon 5D Mark II, Olympus E-P1 and the Leica M9 to see which one offers up the best method for focusing.

DigitalRev Lens Image Stabilisation Video Test


Recently, we got a letter from some guy asking us whether Image Stabilisation on a lens really improves the stability of the movies that he wants to make. What's more, he plans to put his HDSLR on the front of his car, so he wants to know how it will perform when used with a reasonably fast moving object. As we don't like to come up with simple "yes" or "no" answers, we've devised a rather not so simple test. Watch the video to find out what happens.

Canon EOS 7D - Hands-on Review


Brought to you by digitalrev.com, the first unboxing and hands-on review video of Canon EOS 7D - the latest pro level DSLR from Canon and probably the best camera of the year. We thought it would be fun to test out the weather sealing of the camera, so we gave it a nice shower. As you'd expected the 7D came out of the shower without any sign of damage or malfunction. (Warning: don't try this at home as your camera is not warranted to water damage.) This water tested 7D will later be displayed at our flagship retail store in Hong Kong for you to play with.

How to clean your sensor (and what not to do)


We got sent a question for #askDRTV, asking whether one should use one's breath to fog up the sensor to clean the dust off. Here's Kai and Lok's advice on how to clean your sensor with a wet and dry method. Warning: cleaning your sensor could render your camera useless if you are not careful or if you don't know what you are doing. 1. Pressurised Air is not safe for your camera! Not only that some of them spray mist, they could also blow off your sensor. 2. Some liquid solutions leave streaks that are hard to get rid off. 3. Swiping of the sensor could cause damage if you have hard dust particles on it. 4. The hair of the brush could be caught by the edge of the sensor or contaminated by the frame of the sensor or the mirror mechanism. Disclaimer: DigitalRev TV cannot be held responsible for any damage to your camera equipment as a result of watching this video. Leave sensor cleaning to professional, and do NOT attempt to clean your camera sensor yourself.
