The surveillance camera specialist launched the “Trailview” 720p PIR Motion Detection Night Vision HD game camera to make it easier for wildlife spotters to get higher-resolution pictures easier.

Rose Li, PR manager for the PIR camera stockist says the “Trailview” represents the first time a PIR game camera has come to the market with the same high-quality footage capturing, customization and remote access capabilities as cutting edge IP cameras.

“Most game cameras are limited with trigger and lens settings,” says Li. “That’s simply not good enough when you’re dealing with a wilderness setting where there are winds, rains and other ways that motion can be triggered.”

Li says makers of the Trailview took this into account and made it so the camera’s motion sensor could be adjusted as well as the number of images captured.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to capture a rare beetle or an elk,” says Li. “The Trailview will ensure you get the exact footage you need and nothing but.”

Li says the Trailview also has almost twice the number of IR LEDs as competing brands with 52 compared to 35, meaning that outdoor enthusiasts will capture more with every shot.

“What’s more is that with a 5MP camera and 720p video camera any footage that is caught will be crisp, sharp and beautiful.”

And unlike the so called leading brands, Li says the Trailview is capable of emailing and texting footage to any email address or any phone around the world.

“Animals don’t work to any schedule,” says Li. “With the Trailview you are able to know exactly when you get the shot you need no matter what else you are doing or where you are.”

And with Chinavasion’s 12 month warranty and thorough QC process Li says people can be assured that they will get a device that works like it should every time no matter what is thrown at it.

“Chinavasion is globally renowned as the provider of affordable, high-quality electronics and nowhere is it seen more than with the build of the Trailview Game Camera.”

Packing really big features in a small body

While it’s tempting to rely on your smartphone, the HX50 gives photographers plenty of great reasons to invest in a dedicated pocket camera. Its wide-ranging optical zoom gives users more flexibility to pick their shooting position, while Optical SteadyShot gives peace of mind that image quality won’t be compromised. Even at 30x zoom, the HX50 now offers image stabilisation that’s twice as effective as the Cyber-shot™ HX200V2.

Powered by a 20.4-megapixel3 Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ processor, the HX50 produces high-resolution, high quality images with exceptional low-light performance. Working at more than twice the speed of the Cyber-shot™ HX200V4 at full zoom, high-speed autofocus captures even the most fleeting moments for posterity. What’s more, integrated Wi-Fi lets you share those special memories quickly and easily with friends and family.

For more advanced photographers who like to fine-tune the details of a shot, there’s a dial to adjust exposure compensation plus a mode dial for other manual shooting settings such as P/A/S/M modes. There’s also a Multi Interface Shoe for attaching a compatible electronic viewfinder, flash or microphone for better video sound quality – the perfect match for the high quality video shooting of Full HD (50p) recording capability. Adding to the package is a Multi Terminal for using a remote controller, very useful for close-ups and movies.

Battery stamina is crucial when you’re travelling and don’t know where the next plug point will be found. The X-type lithium-ion battery in the Cyber-shot™ HX50 is smaller than any of its predecessors5, yet delivers 400 photos6 from a single charge.

Make your own movies

With more people shooting video alongside still photos, the HX50 delivers stunning results. It captures beautifully smooth Full HD movies (50p) that benefit from Optical SteadyShot (Active Mode)7 compensation for reduced camera-shake when you’re videoing on the move. Its compatibility with TRILUMINOS Colour technology means that footage can be enjoyed with rich, natural colours when viewed on any TRILUMINOS Display TV.

Ready to get a little more creative? The HX50 offers nine different picture effects8 to experiment with, giving those shots of the children an entirely new perspective. There are also three picture effects available in Intelligent Sweep Panorama mode9, plus four different movie effects10.

The new DEV-50V digital recording binoculars from Sony give a sensational close-up view of birds and animals in the wild, plus sports and travel scenes. While you’re viewing the scene, it’s easy to capture that colourful bird, timid otter or distant mountain peak with crisp, steady photos and stunning HD video footage at the touch of a button.

Now 30% lighter than its predecessor, the splash1 and dust2-resistant binoculars are a faithful travel partner, whether you’re heading for rain-soaked walk or sandy beaches.

A busy day in the field normally means packing your spotting scope, binoculars and digital camera with bulky telephoto lens. But with the DEV-50V you can observe wildlife in close-up, grab impressive photos and shoot smooth, steady video all without carrying extra gear.

Sweep your surroundings at low power to locate your subject, then zoom in smoothly to pinpoint that distant bird or animal. A stunning new XGA OLED Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder delivers improved resolution4 and contrast for noticeably clearer images. Even when you’re zoomed right in, the Optical SteadyShot with Active mode3 image stabilisation keeps things stable and blur-free to assist with easy identification of your new find.

Unlike ordinary binoculars, there’s no need to keep focusing manually as your scene changes. Speedy and precise autofocus makes sure everything stays pin-sharp, even while zooming or when your subject’s moving rapidly.

It’s often a struggle to see and focus clearly in dim lighting with ordinary binoculars. Electronic viewfinder brightness on the DEV- 50V is boosted by the newly developed Hyper Gain function in low light, helping you see that shy owl more clearly as dusk falls. Hyper Gain works by electronically increasing brightness in the viewfinder so the subject can be quickly located and framed in dim lighting conditions.

There’s nothing worse than making a fantastic discovery, then fumbling for your camera only to find that the moment’s gone. Press the shutter button and grab crisp, detail-packed 20.4 megapixel still photos. Or touch the record button and immediately start shooting vibrant video footage in Full HD. And since there are two completely separate lenses image sensors and image processors, you can shoot in exciting 3D too; great for watching on your 3D television.

When you’re back home, hook up the binoculars to your TV and enjoy the day’s recorded highlights in crystal-clear HD. Alternatively, slip the memory card into your PC or photo frame to re-live the memories.

The new DEV-50V digital recording binoculars by Sony will be available in the UK from June 2013.

Developed using Canon’s industry-leading imaging technologies, these models include a powerful specification that delivers outstanding quality and operability. The Canon HD Video system has been completely redesigned – from the lens through to the image sensor and processor – providing new levels of imaging performance. A range of advanced shooting features and connectivity options make these cameras ideal for either professional or amateur use, and are suitable for shooting everything from news and documentaries to weddings.

Advanced Canon HD video system, first-class optics
The XA25, XA20 and LEGRIA HF G30 all benefit from a completely new imaging system, which has been engineered to provide outstanding image quality and versatility. A ground-breaking 20x zoom wide-angle lens offers a 26.8–576mm focal range [1], employing optical technology found in Canon’s top-of-the-range XF305 camcorder. An enhanced 3-mode Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) system [2] incorporates a Dynamic OIS mode to further reduce the effects of camera movement during shooting. The 8-blade circular aperture also provides enhanced ‘bokeh’, using Canon’s unique Electro Magnetic Diaphragm technology – developed for the company’s EF lens range – to ensure beautiful background blur in shots with a shallow depth of field.

A newly-designed 1/2.84-type 2.91 Megapixel HD CMOS Pro sensor provides outstanding dynamic range and low-light performance. The increased sensor size maximises photosite area, combining with a highly sophisticated image processing system to reduce image noise and increase sensitivity in low light environments.

The outstanding processing capability provided by DIGIC DV 4 provides enhanced image reproduction, supplementing the strengths of the DIGIC DV family – such as smooth gradation and faithful colour reproduction – with support for recording at higher data rates. The sensor and processor work together to eliminate more camera shake, augmenting a highly-effective optical IS system with electronic stabilisation that detects and compensates for movement in a larger number of directions.

Complete creative control
Designed to provide maximum flexibility, all the new models support multiple recording formats. AVCHD (up to 28Mbps) and MP4 (up to 35Mbps) provide high bitrates suitable for many professional applications. Video is recorded to dual SD [3] card slots in a range of resolutions and frame rates up to 1080/50p, with slow and fast motion options supported in MP4 mode – providing greater freedom to choose an appropriate setting according to creative requirements.

All models also support simultaneous recording of different formats to each card – giving users the ability to capture high-quality Full HD footage in the desired format, and smaller MP4 files at the same time [4].  Delivered by the power of DIGIC DV 4, the smaller files can be shared more quickly and easily for time-critical applications, such as reporting breaking news, whilst the high-quality copies are retained for later use.

Professionally-optimised features
The XA25 and XA20 feature the same removable handle concept launched with the popular Canon XA10. Easily attached or removed to suit the shooting situation, the top-mounted handle houses a range of additional controls, including XLR inputs for capturing professional quality audio from external microphones. The handle also integrates an IR lamp to enhance the shooting capabilities of the infrared mode available in XA25 and XA20 – ideal for recording night-time documentaries or nocturnal wildlife.

All three models offer a compact, ergonomically designed body that offers outstanding handling and control during use.  A new 8.77cm (3.5”) 1.23million-dot Organic LED (OLED) touch screen panel provides greater resolution, contrast and improved colour reproduction during recording and playback. Users have full manual control over exposure: a combination of the touch screen and a customisable control dial allows for adjustment of aperture, shutter speed, iris, gain and exposure.

Zoom or focus can be adjusted via a switchable ring at the front of the camera lens. Additionally, a new zoom rocker integrated into the camera body is ideal for shooting when handheld or tripod mounted, offering the fine control and convenience typically found on larger professional cameras. An improved 1.56 million-dot 0.61cm (0.24”) electronic viewfinder (EVF) can be tilted up to approximately 45°, providing outstanding detail and comfort for effective handheld or tripod shooting.

Studio connectivity and wireless support
The new XA25, XA20 and LEGRIA HF G30 offer an advanced selection of interfaces, with physical inputs conveniently grouped together and designed to keep connections in place during handheld use. All include integrated HDMI, microphone, USB and headphone terminals, while the XA25 also includes HD-SDI output – offering the high capacity, uncompressed connectivity useful for many broadcast applications.

Each camera also features newly-integrated dual band Wi-Fi support (2.4GHz and 5GHz), providing a range of capabilities for use during or after shooting. Camera Remote support allows wireless adjustment of settings via a web browser [5], and Remote Browser allows users to review recorded footage from the camera in smartphone or tablet browsers – with no need for playback software.

FTP File Transfer allows users to transfer footage to FTP servers at up to 150Mbps via a wireless access point, and with Media Server, Wi-Fi can be used to play back videos stored on a camera on supported TVs or computers, without the need for cables . Direct movie uploading is also supported for iOS devices using Canon’s Movie Uploader application, allowing the upload of videos directly to YouTube or Facebook at bitrates of up to 24Mbps.
