Sony a7R II and a7S II are highly acclaimed by Sony, and the success of the new A99 II is justified. Let’s talk about design before PerformanceAnn presented by the maker of 42K megapixel full frame sensor and 4K video capability that we are accustomed to from Sony’s top segment cameras. Although the number of compact cameras has increased in recent times, the size of the interest in DSLR machines is also high. Sony has developed the a99 II in this direction with the focus of DSLR enthusiasts. From the design of the machine, it is possible to say that it has a great similarity with the a99 model. On the upper left of the a99 II, where a magnesium alloy body is preferred, there is a shooting mode ring on which you can adjust the shooting modes and press and lock.

The Sony a99 II does not have a built-in flash, just like it does on other high end cameras in the market. Especially if you are shooting in low light, you can choose Sony’s optional flashes using the hot shoe socket on the machine. If you are planning to shoot in the studio, you can connect an external light source to the machine using the flash connection on the left side of the machine. The ergonomics of the a99 II is very successful. Unlike the a99 II, E-Mount systems, which have won the accolade thanks to the quick focus system, the A-Mount type system is the answer. Let’s talk briefly about what these systems are if you want. Sony produces interchangeable lens cameras with E-Mount that does not use reflex mirrors or A-Mount with advanced full-aperture mirrors. E mount cameras, with their portability, while A-Mount machines are more noticeable for professional users. Come back to the photo quality of the machine that the reflex mirror is located between the back of the lens and the sensor. Sony’s new flagship machine, with the high-megapixel value as in the A7R II, is very detailed.

The Sony a99 II also carries magnificent photo performance in the same direction in video quality. Just as Sony is on the market for other top segment machines, the a99 II also supports professional quality S-Log3 and S-Log2 profiles for video recording. Offering a good tonal production to the mid-tone in the shadows, these profiles emphasize and help to control more on the shadows. The a99 II can record 4K videos at 100 Mbps in addition to Full HD video recording. Of course, it is useful to mention that you should use a very fast SD card when selecting this video setting. If you have a slow card, the machine can record 60 Mbps 4K video instead of 100 Mbps. It can play video at 120 frames per second in full HD resolution, and can also transfer wireless images to mobile devices via Wi-Fi and NFC connections. The Sony a99 II meets all expectations of photographers with both photo and video quality.

Canon EOS M6 offers a DSLR photo experience in a compact body. Canon, unfortunately, had not been able to give the photo enthusiast what he wanted with the EOS M, the first machine in the family, about 5 years ago. Especially because of the slowness in the autofocus system, EOS M suffered quite a lot of users. The company later released a solution to this problem with the software, but the Canon EOS M was disappointing. Later on, Canon, which achieved success by selling EOS M2, M3, M10 and M5 models, is confronted with its new machine EOS M6. Having left behind all the problems experienced at the EOS M, Canon also carries on the powerful performance offered by the other top segment cameras with the new compact mirrorless EOS M6.

We can say that the M6, which is lighter at the same time from the EOS M5, which targets more professionals, will be preferred by those who care about both portability and performance. The machine that Canon sends to our office has a black color, but the silver color of the EOS M6 is also available. On the upper part of the rangefinder-type mirrorless machine with metal body, there are 12 different shooting modes including manual and automatic, a wheel that enables you to adjust the exposure compensation, a power button, and a shutter button. The power on/off button on the machine is located just below the exposure compensation wheel.

On the right side is a button for HDMI and a wireless connection, and on the left side of the machine is a flash button, microphone and USB connections. SD card entry is under the EOS M6. When we look at the ergonomics of the EOS M6, we are not as successful as the other mirrorless compact machines on the market. If you are a DSLR user, you may have difficulty using it at first in the compact body of the EOS M6.

The Canon EOS M6 uses the Dual Pixel autofocus system as is the case with the EOS 800D and EOS 77D models. With this system, the machine can detect fast moving objects quickly and accurately. Let’s just say that the speedy autofocus performance offered by the machine has also benefited us. Another feature of the Canon EOS M6 is its 5-axis digital image stabilization. This system, which has recently come to light in most photographic machines, aims to avoid the jolts that can occur in photographs and videotapes. This makes it possible to take higher quality pictures in low light.

The 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor is preferred, and the low light performance of the machine varies depending on your lens preference. It is also possible to choose the EF-M 15-45mm f / 3.5-6.3 IS STM lens on the machine which achieves highly successful frames at aperture values of F / 1.8 or F / 2.8. Despite the fact that it is a small camera, the EOS M6 still delivers the performance of a successful photo. Although it does not support 4K video recording, it is possible to perform 60 frames full HD video recording on the camera at the moment.

First of all, the G6 is not as rough as the G5, nor is it as elegant as the V20. With a thickness of about 8 mm, the G6 has a tough design in hand. We can even say that it is a thick body compared to the nearest rival. However, this is an increase of the G6. Because the phone gives a stronger sense of grip. In the back of the body there is a choice of three colors, white, platinum and black.e have studied the black model of the device and frankly think that the black model is the most suitable model for design.

We will touch on the details of this, but first, let’s finish the body design. Behind the device is a dual rear camera as in previous models. In the G5, the LG-G6 is a funny-looking protruding part of the V20. A much smoother and cohesive design has been achieved. Just below the camera is the fingerprint sensor / main display key located on the side of the phone as it is on the V20.

Unlike the LG G6 rival, there is no curvature on the edges of the screen because it has a linear design. However, it is possible to see the very thin frame at the edges. Likewise, like competitors, the display is limited to both top and bottom frames. You feel that less in the black model and the frameless screen feeling is definitely stronger. However, in the platinum model, the frames in front of the device are officially disappearing. Nevertheless, LG is succeeding in a huge screen phone. The screen-to-body ratio of the 5.7-inch device is 80 percent, which is impressive. The G6’s screen offers QHD + (2880 × 1440 pixels) resolution. We can say that the FullVision screen is very successful. The screen, which offers clean whites and impressive blacks, is quite enjoyable. When we talked about the screen, an interesting detail also caught our attention. LG chose Corning Gorilla Galss 3 on the G6’s screen. However, Gorilla Glass 5 is used in the rear body.

I talked about the design and the screen for a long time, but let’s talk about the controversial performance of the device. First of all, the LG G6 quad-core Snapdragon 821 processor is powered by technical specifications. 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of memory for the processor. Here again we think that 64 GB would be more suitable. Of course, you have the option of expanding memory with microSD. All applications are located on the screen in the interface that completely removes the applications tab. As with the LG V20, the G6 can also be dragged and dropped in a multi-window experience.

One day you can easily complete the device with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 also supports fast charging technology. Of course, let’s not say that the device came with a USB Type-C connection. The LG G6 also has various features of its predecessors. For example, as with the V20, you can record at high quality with the HD Sound Recorder. It is also possible to control the volume during shooting.

One of LG’s most favorite features to use is its camera capabilities. It comes with a double rear camera, each with a resolution of 13 megapixels. One of the rear cameras has a f1.8 aperture and a 71-degree viewing angle. The other is f2.4 diaphragm aperture and 125 degrees wide angle. It was more enjoyable to use the camera when the screen grew. Here, we can say that the choices that the V20 users use on the second screen are almost the same here. The camera is more comfortable on the wider screen, and the experience is enhanced. On the G6 camcorder, there is not much change and development other than interface and ease of use.

At first glance, the giant price tag of the Kindle Oasis strikes the eye. Amazon Kindle is the platform with the widest selection of books on the market. But Kindle has remained behind its competitors as far as hardware. We can say that he went one step ahead with Oasis. But this time he is scared with the price. Let’s start with the design of the design and the technology. The Oasis reveals its impressiveness when you take it out of the box with its slim, 6-inch backlit e-ink screen and leather case. If you are already a Kindle user, you will be able to connect to a wireless network and only have your username and password entered. In just 2-3 minutes you can continue your book from where you left your new Kindle.

The leather sheath, which compensates for the asymmetrical design of the Oasis, is fully seated from behind with the magnet on Oasis. The 300 ppi e-ink screen illuminated by 10 LEDs provides a sharper image with homogenous backlighting, although the resolution is the same as in previous versions, which makes it easier to read. Oasis, which does not look like tablets thanks to the design of the backlight, makes it possible to read books without getting tired for long hours. Oasis is now the best example of the trend among e-book readers on the market, but there are still so many that do not end up counting.

For example, the reading voice feature is unfortunately not available. But there’s a way around that. When you get an e-book for the Kindle, it’s possible to open it on all your other devices like iOS, Android, Kindle tablet. In this case, for example, iPhone’s VoiceOver or Android’s TalkBack feature makes it possible to convert the text on the screen. This feature would have been better on Kindle Oasis. This is a feature that we can say “it is good at all”. Oasis has both 3G and Wi-Fi only.

The adjustable font size and screen light make Oasis readers the most friendly of readers. By making your articles as big as you want and reading them easily without having to look at them sometimes, you become friends with those who are particularly old-fashioned readers or those with hypermetropia. Oasis brings the user experience to the next level with its powerful illumination. The automatic display light adjustment feature of the previous Kindle Voyage has been removed in Oasis. You could see this as a reduction of technological features, but in

The automatic display light adjustment feature of the previous Kindle Voyage has been removed in Oasis. You could see this as a reduction of technological features, but in fact it worked so badly on the Voyage that it needed to manually adjust it again, providing less light than needed, in darker environments, as the battery needed to fully turn on and off. At this point, the Kindle has decided to remove it entirely from where it will remove it from being annoying.

Thanks to the ecosystem called Whispersync, you can access your book from Kindle applications and Kindle devices anytime and anywhere, and you can go to the last page at any time. This is the Kindle’s most favorite feature. Kindle’s second favorite feature is Goodreads, which brings us together with our friends. No, we do not socialize while reading books. Thankfully, the Kindle does not allow us to move away from the book. At Goodreads, we see how many points our Facebook friends gave to what books they read or finished. Thus, our friends, who we trust to enjoy, can start downloading and reading books with high scores, and we do not have to think for days, “What do I read now?”

Sony Xperia XA1, the new representative in the mid-segment, is drawing attention with its budget-friendly price while maintaining its iconic design line. With Sony moving to the X series, leaving behind the Z series, the same product appeared in the lower, smaller series. The Xperia XA1, one of the original ones, comes with an assertive camera and familiar design like every Xperia.

As always, start with the first design on the Sony Xperia XA1. Sony does not leave much to say, unfortunately, when it comes to design. The iconic classic Xperia design changes little with the X series, and Sony is not surprised by its similar line in the XA1. The rectangular device, which comes with much sharper lines than the devices with rounded corners, has a linear design. We can call it a flat XA1 phone with the exception of a very slight rounding to eliminate sharpness on the edges. When we looked at the front panel, the device, which was frameless from two sides, did not choose this view on the top and bottom edges. There is a huge frame of finger thickness both above and below the device’s screen. When there is no frame on the side, the upper and lower limitations on this absurd thickness are more visible.

The screen size of the Xperia XA1 is 5 inches, but the length of the device is 5.7 inches, with a frame with a finger on the top and bottom. So although the screen is small, it is not very comfortable to use with one hand. However, since the body of the device is not completely glass, it does not slip. The cradle of XA1, which comes with a matt body, looks very elegant. At the same time, the device we examined the black model offers different color alternatives, white, gold and pink. The only criticism we have to make about the back of the device is that it is a bit sensitive to scratches. It is not very crowded, but if you are carrying the phone in the bag, be ready for the vague scratches. It’s not a thin thing for the body of the device, but it sure does.

We told you that the Xperia XA1 came with a 5-inch screen. The device offers HD resolution to users on the screen. Obviously, we would prefer Full HD at this point. The brightness of the screen is also slightly below expectations. If the device is not framed from the sides, it has a more positive effect during use. When we look at the specifications of the device after the average screen performance, the 64-bit eight-core processor is positioned on the antithesis of 16nm architecture. The MediaTek Helio P20 processor is accompanied by 3 GB of RAM. It is possible to increase the memory of the Xperia XA1, which comes with 32 GB internal memory, to 256 GB with a microSD card.

As a sensor maker, it is quite natural that Sony is ambitious about the cameras it displays on mobile devices. But how does a device that is very ambitious on paper perform in practice? Let’s look at the technical details first. The rear camera offers 23 megapixels in 4: 3 format. The rear camera features the Exmor RS mobile image sensor. For those who do not want to miss a moment, there are two different shortcuts to open the camera. You can open the camera by holding down the shutter button while the screen is closed, or you can quickly access the camera by double-clicking the on / off button on the same conditions. The rear camera with hybrid autofocus is fast focusing.
