iPhone 6s review

Apple claims it has innovated, adding 3D Touch, a new 12-megapixel camera and the faster than ever A9 processor to what is already a supremely capable phone.

Design

On first glance, the 6s looks identical to its predecessor. The iPhone 6s now has 7000 series aluminium, which is less likely to bend and feels much more gripy. In terms of design the iPhone 6S only has a small 'S'. It still carries on the thick Antenna bands, which are a huge eye sore. The iPhone 6S does however now include a rose gold colour.

3D Touch

3D Touch, or Force Touch as it's been previouslyon the MacBook and Apple Watch, works by sensing extra pressure on the screen to activate extra features.

Take snapping a selfie, for example. Where previously yu needed to tap two different icons with intermittent loading times, this action has now been shortened to one firm press of the Photo app icon. Then you can leap right into the shot.

3D Touch also has some  convenient uses with other native apps.You can can jump directly into a new email in Mail and open a new tab straightaway in Safari. It makes  navigating around the phone much easier and more fluid - giving a much better user interface.

Canon EOS 100D

Many people are looking to buy a DSLR Camera but never quite know which the right option is and DSLR Cameras usually don’t come cheap either. The Canon EOS 100D is the perfect option for anyone looking to invest in a DSLR Camera or just looking around.

Features

The touch screen on the 100D is first class – it’s as good as smartphone or tablet. Not only is it responsive, but the calibration of the various settings means that you have direct access to a range of the camera’s functionality straight from the screen. The icons on the screen, while small, are perfectly responsive. The fact that the monitor also supports swipe and pinch to zoom gesture control makes it a pleasure to use.

The Canon EOS 100D met its claimed 4fps burst speed most of the time during controlled testing conditions, although the camera’s buffer offered varying levels of results. With a SanDisk SD card- Find HERE. The Canon EOS 100D captured four JPEG and Raw files before slowing. Setting the camera to capture just raw files also allowed for four files before the buffer was full. 

However, if you set the camera to shoot solely JPEG files you can shoot to the card’s capacity with no worries about the 100D slowing.

The 18-55mm IS STM kit lens helps video capture immensely. When shooting, the stepper motor (STM) in the lens allows for perfectly smooth transitions of focus when shooting. Not only that but the motor is completely silent, removing any threat of a noisy focus motor affecting the video’s audio.

Previous EOS DSLRs was that there was no way of previewing any of the model’s creative filters before applying them. The good news is that Canon has listened to these criticisms, and the EOS 100D offers Live Preview of any filters through the model’s Live View system.

Design

Its impressive achievement for a DSLR, even more so considering that build quality isn’t compromised to achieve such an amazing build. Canon has replaced stainless steel with an equally sturdy but much lighter aluminium alloy, while the polycarbonate resin, and carbon and glass fibre, provide a hard yet lightweight feel. 

Add to that the overall quality finish – including various rubberised and textured elements around the body – and the Canon EOS 100D as a result feels much nicer in the hand than any other smaller more compact DSLR.

Button design and layout arrangement around the body is pleasing and is very easy to navigate. The model’s d-pad is smaller than some that we’ve seen in similar Canon DSLRs before, but this does allow for plenty of touchscreen space. 

Neatly arranged on the top is an On/Off switch located. Around the mode dial there also offers a quick access to the 100D’s movie capture mode. Pleasantly, there aren’t that many physical controls, with only one scroll dial as opposed to two on larger cameras.

To compensate, several buttons have a dual purpose – in manual mode photographers must depress the AV /- button in combination with the top plate dial to change settings.

The 100D is easy to hold but those with slightly larger the most hands might find the Canon EOS 100D a little on the small side, but on the whole there’s very little to fault about its handling and its compact size adds a welcome and impressive dimension.

Performance

Despite being one of the smallest and lightest DSLR; compared to the many DSLR cameras out there. The Canon EOS 100D in terms of functionality and capability to perform is astonishing given its smaller size and really makes the grade. In fact, it has much of the same functionality as its much larger Canon counterpart’s models. One of the ways that the Canon 100D has been able to maintain a small and lightweight profile is by creating a much more smaller yet still efficient camera component board. 

Despite this, the Canon EOS 100D still has a high-end Canon DIGIC 5 image processor that offers a burst speed of up to 4fps, with a claimed burst depth of 28 JPEG files or 7 Raw images.

The Canon EOS 100D sensor has the same resolution as the EOS 700D. The EOS 100D has an 18MP APS-C Hybrid AF II CMOS sensor, this is a much smaller and thinner sensor in order to maintain such a small size, and because of this the 100D is smaller than most typical DSLRs. The sensor itself has an ISO range of 100-12,800, extendable to 25,600 in the ‘H’ setting. The sensor features a built-in phase-detect autofocus (AF) technology and means that focus on images becomes much more validated and clearer.

As a result of this the EOS 100D can support continuous AF when recording HD video. The 100D supports HD video capture at a range of frame rates – including 30, 25 and 24fps – as well as offering the option to shoot at 50fps, at the lower end it has a 1280 x 720 resolution. Those serious about video recording will enjoy the inclusion of a 3.5mm mic port on the camera as well.

Conclusion

The AF system not only benefits from the phase-detect AF presence on the sensor, but also features Canon’s tried and tested 9-point AF array with one cross-type AF point housed in the centre. As for metering, the 100D features Canon’s 63-zone SPC system – the very same that has produced such excellent results on other Canon DSLRs, including the Canon EOS 7D. 

Any issues with exposure can be addressed through the exposure compensation system, which has 1/3 stop increment adjustment over /-5EV. At the rear of the Canon EOS 100D sits the impressive 3-inch, 1,040k LCD screen, which is a huge improvement on the Canon EOS 1100D. Above it, is one of the major selling points of a DSLR ahead of a CSC, namely an optical viewfinder. 

Although coverage isn’t a full 100%, at 95% it’s entirely respectable, and it also benefits from dioptre correction and depth of field preview. The Canon EOS 100D over CSCs is that it adopts Canon’s EF-S lens mount, meaning it can be used with both EF and EF-S lenses that you might own. There’s a built-in flash on the Canon EOS 100D.

MacBook Pro 13 inch 2015

It's late 2015 and the latest MacBook Pro has been released for quite a while, so we will take a look at the 2015 13 inch MacBook Pro. This year's model is relatively similar in terms of design to last years model but this years 2015 version is even better than ever bringing some new software and hardware technology has been added for a more enhanced user experience.This is MacBook Pro brings many design improvements; such as the innovative Force Touch trackpad with a taptic engine, better battery life and the latest Intel processors. In fact, the MacBook Pro is the best all-round laptop you can buy in 2015. Let's take an in depth look at the 13 inch MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Pro is great because it combines efficient processing power, alongside a powerfully longer lasting battery life and a high end premium design. All of this with an added bonus of portability, which makes the  MacBook Pro one of the most genuinely portable device and is easy to carry around.

The current MacBook Pro design looks clean and feels fresh. The MacBook is one of the best built laptop of 2015. When it comes to the weight of the MacBook it weighs a dramatically light 1.58kg and is only 18mm thick. It is wafer thin and is much more efficient and useful in confined spaces like planes and trains.

This year's model has certainly been refined with two new colours being added to the line; Space Grey, Gold and Silver. The MacBook is remarkably thin and light. It's a very powerful device considering it maintains a thin and light profile yet runs on heavy duty processors, as opposed to the low-voltage ones used in the MacBook Air.

Force Touch

The latest feature is the Force Touch trackpad. It’s only on the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Force touch replaces the click mechanism with four force sensors and an electromagnet. The Force Touch trackpad gives you a “click” sensation wherever you press the trackpad. This also means you can choose between three different click strengths – light, medium and heavy. The Force Touch trackpad feels the same all the way around even when you press the top corners. The new Force Touch trackpad is an incredible piece of engineered technology.

Force click gives you the added bonus of extra screen options you get when you hold down on the trackpad. When you hold down you will be given the choice of a few extra options. Force Click actions use just the two levels –  a normal click and then a little more pressure to activate the Force Click option. Force Clicking on a word brings up a dictionary definition, while clicking on a link or address will bring up a preview window of the page or a map.

Performance

The MacBook Pro 13 inches with Retina  ha a screen resolution of 2,560 x 1,600, which equates to 227 pixels per inch. The density of the pixels look razor sharp. It’s not just sharp, the 13-inch MacBook Pro’s screen is also colourful, accurate and rich. Contrast is very good. Blacks have rich clear quality that really perform when watching films, and colours pop without appearing oversaturated.

Conclusion

With improvements in battery life and components, and adding surprises such as the Force Touch trackpad, Apple has kept this system
feeling much more up-to-date than the Air (which despite the lower resolution and thick screen bezel is still one of the most useful laptops around. As of that, the 13-inch Pro is lead position in Apple's lineup for anyone who needs to combine long battery life, reasonable portability and the capability to run multiple high-end apps, from Photoshop to Logic, all in a single laptop.
