2012 is a very crazy year for camera manufacturers. In this year, we saw the emergence of hundreds of products, which naturally contains many new technologies. Among these new technologies, some of them belong to the new trial technology, while the other part is something that appears earlier, but reduces the cost through new technology or is added to the camera under the market demand. The author of this article will give you a prospect of the new technology popularization in 2013.

  New technology popularization in 2013

In fact, we can find a very obvious change, that is, in 2012, in these technologies which are more concerned, only the part limited to the image has gradually become smaller, and more has been placed in the image process and even on the image periphery. These technologies can't help you to take better photos, but they can give you a better shooting experience, even a sharing experience.

WiFi function has become the focus of major camera manufacturers in 2012

The vast majority of the technologies mentioned by the author today appeared three years ago, and due to the development of the times, it will gradually become the standard configuration of cameras from the past. The author thinks that the five new technologies that will be popularized in 2013 are WiFi transmission, capacitive touch screen, UHS standard SD card, microSD card and internal image quality correction. Please listen to the author for details.

  Wireless transmission can share additional purchase of variable standard configuration

Wireless transmission actually entered the world of digital cameras as early as 2004. The first camera to use this technology was Nikon D2H (information quotation and image Forum). With the WiFi component named WT-1, it can realize 11Mbps transmission per second. This component has FTP function, and the price of the component was as high as 4000 yuan at that time.

  Canon 6D is the first SLR camera with built-in WiFi function

However, as time goes on, we can see that more and more cameras begin to consider WiFi. Sony G3's embedding browser into the camera is a superb skill, while Polaroid's putting Android into the camera is the second climax. At present, more and more cameras (especially single electric cameras and flagship DC) have the WiFi wireless transmission capability, and the function has evolved from single file transmission to sending microblog and email to implement sharing functions.

At present, the camera with built-in WiFi has reached the canon 6D level, and Nikon has also tried solutions below 400 yuan. Considering that the camera market has been severely challenged by mobile phones, in 2013, most brands will add WiFi function to the cameras that they can handle, so as to ensure that the high-quality photos taken can be quickly spread to others.

  Capacitive touch screens have long been useful in cameras

In fact, it has been quite a long time since the camera was added to the touch screen. The first camera to use the touch screen was Sony N1, which was released as early as 2005. However, the touch screen used by the camera has been limited to the original resistive touch screen for a long time. Although its touch precision is high, most cameras can't go out with a pen. If you use the finger operation accuracy, you can't go out with a pen The advantage of the lock will be replaced by greater operation force lock.

Capacitive touch screens are very helpful for looking back at photos

However, at present, the concept of smart phone has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The camera using touch screen will encounter a great challenge, that is, consumers are very accustomed to the feel of smart phone. If the feeling of camera using touch screen is far behind that of mobile phone, then consumers prefer to buy cameras with traditional buttons.
  

The precision advantage of resistance screen needs to be realized by pen

Therefore, as long as the camera in the year is used with touch screen, it will inevitably change to capacitive screen with the same hand feeling of mobile phone. Although this method is full of various helplessness, in the face of the pressure of mobile phone and tablet computer, if the camera is not taken seriously, it will be treated as a fool by consumers.
