New Canon EOS M3 Mirrorless Camera, Up to $120 Off

Image
Canon is bringing its latest mirrorless camera, the EOS M3, to the US after all. The Japan-based manufacturer announced this compact shooter back in February, but now people in the States will have a chance to get their hands on it. A follow-up to the M2 from 2013, the M3 features a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, Hybrid AF III focusing system and Digic 6 image processor -- all specs found on the Rebel T6s and T6i DSLRs. Just as well, Canon's new mirrorless comes with the same battery type (LP-E17), focus peaking and dynamic stabilization as its bigger siblings, so you can expect similar performance from a camera that's wrapped in a much smaller package. What's more, you'll get NFC, WiFi and 1080p recording at 24, 25 and 30 fps, while the max ISO range is set at 6,400 and 12,800 for video and pictures, respectively. The EOS M3 is Canon's third mirrorless camera, following the M2 and the original M. Announced in February 2015 (13 months a...

Daguerreotype

A daguerreotype was an early type of photograph which was developed by Jacques Daguerre, in which the image was exposed directly onto a mirror-polished surface of silver bearing a coating of silver halide particles deposited by iodine vapor. In later developments bromine and chlorine vapors were also used, resulting in shorter exposure times. The daguerreotype was a negative image, but the mirrored surface of the metal plate reflects the image and makes it appear positive when the silvered surface had a dark ground reflected into it. Daguerreotype was a direct photographic process in which the photograph could not be reproduced and was therefore unique. The daguerreotype was the first publicly announced photographic process (1839) and while there were competing processes at the time, the accepted scientific etiquette of the time was that discovery was attributed to first published. All of the initial photographic processes required long periods for successful exposure and proved diffi...
