New firmware wi..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> The EOS 7D is Canon's top-shelf crop-frame digital SLR - and since its release, it's been a favourite among SLR filmmakers. Like its big brother the 5D, the 7D can be wrangled into an outstanding piece of cinema equipment, but that's not really what it has been designed for – and the onboard software reflects that fact. Enter the firmware hackers at Magic Lantern, who have tacked on a bunch of extra functionality from focus peaking and focus stacking to zebra striping, expanded audio controls, time-lapse intervalometers and expanded exposure bracketing. For years, this functionality was available on more or less every Canon HDSLR except the 7D, due to the fact that it runs two DIGIC processors, not one. But yesterday, after what they've described as an "Aha! moment" the ML team announced they've figured out how to port the Magic Lantern software to the 7D. 7D owners, your new Magic Lantern firmware is on its way!  <a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/magic-lantern-canon-eos-7d-cracked/24189/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div>   <div class="summary_item " data-article="24185"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/lensbaby-spark-blur-lens/24185/">Lensbaby adds Spark to creative lens range – let the blurring begin</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">September 18, 2012</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/lensbaby-spark-blur-lens/24185/pictures">3 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback" href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/lensbaby-spark-blur-lens/24185/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920041919im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/lensbabyspark.jpg" title="Lensbaby's new Spark lens allows photographers to get shots with one 'sweet spot' of focus..." alt="Lensbaby's new Spark lens allows photographers to get shots with one 'sweet spot' of focus..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Although there’s an almost infinite number of effects that can be added to already-taken photos using software, there’s definitely something to be said for the on-location creativity that comes with good ol’ optical in-camera effects. That’s why Lensbaby designed the Spark, a new lens that it announced today. Spark is intended to capture images “that have a sweet spot of focus surrounded by beautiful artistic blur.”  <a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/lensbaby-spark-blur-lens/24185/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="24166"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/fujifilm-xf1/24166/">Fujifilm expands retro-styled X-series with pocket-sized XF1</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/author/simon-crisp/">Simon Crisp</a></div> <div class="date">September 17, 2012</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/fujifilm-xf1/24166/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/fujifilm-xf1/24166/pictures">4 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback" href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/fujifilm-xf1/24166/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920041919im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/fujifilm-xf1.jpg" title="The Fujifilm XF1 has a 12 megapixel 2/3-inch EXR-CMOS sensor" alt="The Fujifilm XF1 has a 12 megapixel 2/3-inch EXR-CMOS sensor"/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Having already targeted pros and enthusiast with the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/2011-fujifilm-x100-to-feature-innovative-hybrid-viewfinder/16493/" target="_blank">X100</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/fujifilm-xpro1-interchangeable-lens-camera/21062/" target="_blank">X-Pro1</a>, Fujifilm is aiming for a wider market with the latest addition to its retro-styled X-Series.

Today, after several months of the worst-kept secret in the camera industry (probably since the D800 itself), Nikon has revealed the D600. It's a 24.3-megapixel full-frame DSLR aimed at enthusiasts, with a smaller body and featuring wireless sharing and capture.  <a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/nikon-d600-full-frame/24128/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="24108"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/sony-nex-6-dslr-like-mirrorless/24108/">Sony NEX-6 brings a more "DSLR-like" experience to pocket-sized cameras</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/author/simon-crisp/">Simon Crisp</a></div> <div class="date">September 12, 2012</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/sony-nex-6-dslr-like-mirrorless/24108/pictures">4 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback" href="/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/sony-nex-6-dslr-like-mirrorless/24108/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920041919im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/nex6.jpg" title="The Sony NEX-6 is designed to appeal to DSLR users who want to travel light, but don't wan..." alt="The Sony NEX-6 is designed to appeal to DSLR users who want to travel light, but don't wan..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> In addition to revealing a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920041919/http://www.gizmag.com/sony-unveils-new-full-frame-digital-cameras/24106/" target="_blank">trio of full-frame firsts</a> earlier today, Sony has also shown APS-C sensors a bit of love with the NEX-6 compact system camera.
