Leica's SL3-S mirrorless cameras boasts 6K ProRes video and faster autofocus |

Leica has unveiled its latest full frame mirrorless camera the megapixel SL S with improved performance and video compared to its predecessor the SL S It largely resembles the photo centric megapixel SL unveiled in March last year but is geared toward hybrid users who shoot both stills and video Spec wise it resembles Panasonic s S IIX mirrorless camera and may use a similar sensor The L mount SL S has a much chunkier body than the Leica rangefinder cameras you may be used to It does offer front and rear dials to control key functions along with a pair of mode dials a joystick and several more buttons However it lacks some controls found on models like the S IIX ーso you may need to wade into the menus to change some settings Leica Luckily the rear touchscreen is large and very high in resolution million dots though it only tilts and doesn t fully articulate which is unfortunate for a hybrid camera The electronic viewfinder EVF offers million dots of resolution which is solid but a bit low compared to similarly priced rivals nbsp A key improvement is faster autofocus thanks to the updated megapixel full frame BSI CMOS sensor That allows burst shooting at up to fps with continuous phase detect AF with fairly long capture times thanks to support for fast CFexpress Type B memory cards The company is also promising stops of dynamic range that should allow for fine adjustments when shooting RAW files nbsp Leica Another key new feature is on the video side with K open gate capture x to be exact recording or x RAW bit to an external recorder along with K p The SL S also supports ProRes recording to a USB C device or CFexpress B cards It s not clear if internal RAW video recording is supported though a spec sheet from B amp H Photo Video shows that to be the case Those video specs line up closely with Panasonic s S IIX though the latter lacks a CFexpress card slot nbsp The main benefit of a Leica camera is Leica s sharp and expensive lenses though the SL S can also use glass from L Mount partners Panasonic and Sigma The only big advantage over the S IIx is the addition of a CFexpress card slot but otherwise the two models have similar specs ーso whether that red Leica dot is worth an extra is up to buyers to decide Leica s SL S is now on sale for at B amp H Photo Video and elsewhere nbsp This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

If you re in the market for a power bank one of our favorite models is back down to its Black Friday price Amazon has discounted Anker s mAh Prime Power Bank ーwith optional base included ーto or percent off its regular price As mentioned the last time the Anker Prime was its current all time low price was during the Thanksgiving holiday The Anker Prime is Engadget s favorite premium power bank Outside of its sleek design the primary reason to consider the Prime over other more affordable models is the ease of use you get when you pair the power bank with its optional base The accessory features magnets that make it easy to align the charging pins so you never need to fiddle around with a cable to start the recharging process What s more the base with one USB A and two USB C connections doubles the number of ports the Anker Prime offers As for charging speeds they re in line with what you can expect from other mAh power banks In our testing the Prime charged an iPhone from dead to percent in minutes and to full in an hour and minutes With a phone that features a mAh capacity like the iPhone you can expect the Prime to fully charge your device three to four times before it needs a recharge of its own The one downside of the Anker Prime is how expensive it is at its regular price At it s a much better purchase Follow EngadgetDeals on Twitter and subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter for the latest tech deals and buying advice This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

The long wait is finally over In a YouTube video with little fanfare Nintendo officially introduced the long awaited Switch The first true next gen follow up to the original Switch includes backwards compatibility for owners of existing Switch games We ll learn more about the console in a Nintendo Direct presentation on April There s still no firm release date though Nintendo is also planning to host first look experience events in cities around the globe starting in April the first of which take place in New York City and Paris from April to April More cities around North America Europe Oceania and Asia will follow This trailer and accompanying press release are truly light on details We see how the Switch evolves from the original with a larger screen and accompanying Joy Con controllers that do appear to be attachable via magnets and a tiny port on the side of the controller That s it though ーno price specs or any details on what games are coming to the Switch That said we did see a few shots of a Mario Kart game running on the Switch ーso all the rumors surrounding a Mario Kart launching alongside the Switch got another shot in the arm today nbsp The announcement of the Switch has been a long time coming Today s news caps off months of speculation about when the company would unveil new hardware The community interest in a Switch was vocal enough that president Shuntaro Furukawa posted on X ahead of the June Nintendo Direct not to expect any new console news although he did confirm that the Switch s successor would be introduced by March nbsp Nintendo has given players some minor upgrades over the years since the Switch first arrived on the scene in The Switch Lite offered a more compact handheld ideal for gaming on the go and the Switch OLED delivered a premium screen But even within the limitations of a portable gaming device the Switch has lagged far behind other consoles when it comes to power and performance Of course trying to compete with Sony and Microsoft s consoles on pure power hasn t been Nintendo s concern for decades at this point Once we get our hands on the Switch we ll know whether it delivers enough oomph to feel worth the wait This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Sony just dropped a full fledged trailer for the Until Dawn movie just days after releasing a shorter teaser The new footage gives us a proper introduction to the Groundhog Day style gimmick that separates the film from the game The game is known for permadeath as any of the eight main characters can die and the narrative will just barrel along without them The movie however takes a different approach When these characters die they wake up to start the night over again This is like Groundhog Day sure but also Edge of Tomorrow Happy Death Day and more Star Trek episodes than you can shake a stick at Time loops are fun Sony says that the movie will connect to the game universe despite the differing storytelling mechanic For instance Peter Stormare voices Dr Hill in the game but shows up in the trailer working at a gas station The film will delve into his character s involvement in the events of the game raising questions for fans to explore The film s directed by David F Sandberg who also helmed Shazam and Lights Out It s written by Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler Dauberman is best known for writing films in The Conjuring universe like Annabelle Annabelle Creation The Nun and Annabelle Comes Home Until Dawn stars the aforementioned Peter Stormare but also younger actors like Ella Rubin Ji young Yoo Michael Cimino and Maia Mitchell It hits theaters on April In the meantime a remake of the game arrived on PS and PC in October This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Kindle Colorsoft review: The missing link in Amazon’s ereader lineup |
https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/kindle-colorsoft-review-the-missing-link-in-amazons-ereader-lineup-131529685.html?src=rss

Well it finally happened After years of waiting and requests Amazon debuted the Kindle Colorsoft its first ereader with a color display The company s ereaders have dominated this space since the original Kindle came out years ago but in this case it feels like Amazon is playing catch up Color E Ink displays aren t novel we ve tested and reviewed a number of color ereaders and E Ink tablets from Kobo Boox and reMarkable in recent years But Amazon is essentially trying to pull an Apple with the Colorsoft with claims that color E Ink technology just wasn t good enough to put into a Kindle until now Amazon s promising the Colorsoft gets this implementation right thanks in part to the custom tweaks it made to the display And unsurprisingly Amazon s ready to charge you a premium for it So is it all it s cracked up to be As you might suspect the answer isn t as simple as yes or no Update Following the multiple reports of Kindle Colorsoft owners seeing a yellow band at the bottom of their ereader s display myself included I reached out to Amazon to receive a new review unit I did so after the company stated publicly that it would make appropriate adjustments to resolve the issue Amazon sent me a second Colorsoft review unit at the end of and in short the new one did not have the yellow band issue and the display appeared warmer overall An Amazon spokesperson told me that a combination of software and display adjustments was implemented to fix the yellow band issue and those are the only differences between my original review unit s display and that of the new one The difference in warmth between the Kobo Libra Colour s screen and the Kindle Colorsoft s screen was dramatically reduced on my second review unit That s a good thing for the Colorsoft because its screen now better mimics the look of actual physical book pages I ve adjusted our pros and cons list to reflect my experience with the new review unit and what follows is our original review Update There have been multiple reports of Kindle Colorsoft owners seeing a yellow band at the bottom of their ereader s display My review unit was not affected during the time I spent testing the Colorsoft but upon checking on the morning of November it appeared for me too Upon reaching out to Amazon for comment a spokesperson told Engadget A small number of customers have reported a yellow band along the bottom of the display We take the quality of our products seriously ーcustomers who notice this can reach out to our customer service team for a replacement or refund and we re making the appropriate adjustments to ensure that new devices will not experience this issue moving forward In the meantime we ve removed our score and recommended labeling until we re able to get a replacement Colorsoft and test it for a longer period of time to ensure this issue has been fully resolved Screen technology and comparisons Let s get the tech details squared away first The Kindle Colorsoft s seven inch screen is based on E Ink Kaleido technology but a representative from the Kindle team explained to me that they developed a custom display stack for this device That means they made quite a few changes to the tech in order to achieve things like higher contrast pigments and improved speeds overall The Colorsoft s custom oxide backplane uses driving volts to move pigments around more quickly and it helps those pigments appear with better contrast Nitride LEDs enhance colors and brightness and a custom coating in between the display s layers helps focus light through each pigment so there s less color mixing Some of the same tech helps make page turns quicker and supposedly reduces excessively noticeable screen refreshing when you go from one color page to another or pinch and zoom on an image That s all to say that Amazon would like you to believe that this E Ink Kaleido screen is not like the other girls in this space and while I do not doubt the Kindle team s efforts the differences are not as dramatic as the story would suggest Until Kobo updates the Sage with color the closest competitor to the Kindle Colorsoft is the Kobo Libra Colour in size platform and overall experience so I did a lot of side by side comparisons of the two The biggest difference I saw was that the Kobo s screen skews warmer than the Kindle s I kicked the brightness up to the maximum and turned all warm natural light settings down to zero on both devices and the difference was noticeable regardless of if the displays were showing color images black and white text or a mix of the two This would suggest that the Kindle will show more accurate colors more often since there s less of a warm lean to its display But on the flip side the Kindle screen s blue tint was just as noticeable particularly in low light situations like a dark office or a dimly lit living room At max brightness with warmth down to zero the Kindle s screen was borderline uncomfortable to read in those environments ーbut all it took was a slight adjustment to warmth level four out of to get it to match the Kobo s display in warmth almost exactly at least to my eyes That made it more comfortable to stare at in dark spaces I also compared the Colorsoft s screen to my personal Kindle Paperwhite previous generation and the blue skew was noticeable there too Ultimately how much warm or cool light you prefer while reading is up to personal taste My preferences would lead me to adjust the warmth on the Kindle to be a bit higher than zero mimicking that of the Kobo In an unscientific poll of the Engadget staff both in person and with device photos everybody preferred the screen on the Kobo I think the slight added warmth in Kobo s screen makes colors appear a bit more saturated and more inviting overall It also gets close to mimicking the look of actual physical pages as much as one of these devices could at least and that s the experience I m going for when I read pretty much anything But I could understand why some hardcore comic fans would want to start off with the most color accurate baseline as possible and then adjust from there to fit their preferences In addition to adjusting the warm light the Kindle Colorsoft has vivid mode which enhances color in less saturated images For the sake of efficacy most of my time was spent in standard mode when testing the Colorsoft But in trying out vivid mode I noticed that its enhanced saturation was most noticeable in warm toned images reds appeared ever so slightly more striking while oranges and yellows had a more bronze effect and the like But I had to turn vivid mode on and off a few times to clock the effect because it s quite subtle Then there s the question of actually reading words on the Colorsoft Even the Kindle team representative I spoke with acknowledged that due to the extra physical layer in the screen that enables color one might notice a bit less sharpness and contrast in black and white text on the Colorsoft s screen That s not unique to this particular Kindle ーevery color ereader will have this issue to some degree When comparing the text only experience of the Kindle Colorsoft to that of the Kobo Libra Colour I found both to be quite good and comparable to one another Where there s a bigger possibility for discrepancies is in a comparison of the Colorsoft to say the new Kindle Paperwhite I did not have the latter device to compare to but I did have my personal previous generation Paperwhite and the difference was ever so slight with the standard Paperwhite having the small upper hand in the contrast and sharpness departments Reading experience Photo by Valentina Palladino Engadget The color screen is the most consequential thing about the Kindle Colorsoft and chances are if you ve had a Kindle in the past the reading experience on this new device will feel quite familiar The Kindle UI hasn t changed much still dividing the main screen into Home and Library options The former is basically a space for Amazon to serve you personalized book recommendations and promote new Kindle releases while the latter shows your entire digital library including books documents Audible audiobooks and library loans The Library page is striking in color and there is something undeniably satisfying about seeing all of your title covers in full color glory While reading a book you can still customize and save different themes with fonts font sizes and page layouts that best suit your preferences You still have the option to quickly navigate within a title by page location chapter and even popular highlights Page turns are speedy and will likely be an improvement for anyone coming from an older Kindle or other ereader Annotations and your own highlights are collected in the same place for easy reference and with the latter you can filter by highlight color as well You have four colors to choose from on the Colorsoft ーorange yellow blue and pink ーso if you use the yellow highlighter to mark favorite quotes you can then filter by just that color Note that all highlighting and note taking must be done with your fingers because unlike the Kindle Scribe the Colorsoft has no stylus support The pinch to zoom feature on the Colorsoft is good for those who read a lot of graphic novels and comics Amazon developed a custom algorithm to make this motion as smooth as possible and it s a pretty good experience albeit not a unique one You can also pinch to zoom on the Kobo Libra Colour which mostly helps get in closer to comic panels to read small text or better see minute details On both devices there are full screen refreshes when you pinch to zoom on color images and the speed of completion is roughly the same I also found image quality to be quite similar as well and it s worth noting that art style can skew your impression of an image s quality A comic that employs clean distinct lines compared to one that s more grungy and watercolor like will always come off more crisp The Colorsoft like the regular Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition also has an auto adjusting front light that promises to illuminate the display just right depending on if you re reading outside on a sunny day in the dark cabin of an airplane or anywhere else It s a nice hardware perk to have and with the feature turned on removes much of manual fiddling that some might find annoying to do when they take their Kindle into different environments The competition Photo by Valentina Palladino Engadget While we already went through the screen comparisons for the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kobo Libra Colour there are plenty of other differences between the two that you should consider when picking your next ereader I ve added a spec list below to break down the basics and the most consequential to me are the fact that the Kobo has page turn buttons and stylus support The former is really a matter of preference ーyou either love physical buttons or you find no use for them ーbut the latter is pure added value even if you do have to purchase the Kobo stylus separately It essentially allows you to turn the Libra Colour into a makeshift Kobo Sage or Kindle Scribe which could be useful for anyone in academia students and educators alike or anyone who just loves the feeling of putting pen to paper Meanwhile the Kindle has the upper hand in its wireless charging capabilities and its slightly cleaner flush front design When it comes to actual content available on Kindle and Kobo devices the libraries you can purchase from on both are vast both have ebooks and audiobooks available and both the Colorsoft and Libra Colour support Bluetooth so you can listen to audiobooks directly from the device with your wireless headphones At the time of writing this review all of the top five New York Times bestseller titles were available on both platforms at the same prices with the only discrepancies being one that was on sale as a Kindle ebook and one that was available to read for free for Kindle Unlimited and Kobo Plus subscribers Both of those monthly subscriptions give you unlimited reading access to thousands of titles but I would give the advantage to Amazon on this one since Kindle Unlimited has been around for much longer Amazon also has Prime Reading and Kids subscriptions that work with Kindle devices and provide even more content to paying subscribers As far as borrowing ebooks from your local library goes it might be a draw Kobo integrates elegantly with Overdrive making it nearly seamless to get borrowed books on your ereader Simply connect your Overdrive account and library card in the settings menu and you can then either browse your library s offerings directly on device or use the Libby mobile app to borrow titles and those will appear automatically on your Kobo My only gripe with this system is that it works best if you have just one library card since you can only connect one at a time I m a unique case where I have at least three library cards and I switch among them in Libby depending on which has the title I m looking for Those like me might prefer the send to Kindle option in Libby which just takes a couple more clicks to get any book from any library network to your Kindle device The biggest downside here is that my Colorsoft review unit did not show all of my library book covers in full color glory on the lock screen After troubleshooting with a representative from Amazon it was determined to be a title specific issue According to Amazon For library books the lock screen is taken from the designated marketing cover for the book used by the library which may not be the same as the actual book cover So just know that if you get most of your reading material from your local library there s a chance some of the covers may not display properly on the Colorsoft I d be remiss if I didn t mention the Boox Go Color which earned a spot in our best ereaders guide after my colleague Amy Skorheim tested it First it s imperative to know that Boox devices require a bit more tech savvy than a Kindle or a Kobo as well as a willingness to experiment They are full blown Android tablets after all and that might be exactly what you re looking for if you get your reading material from many different sources since it offers access to the Google Play Store and all of its apps As for specs the Go Color has a seven inch Kaleido display with ppi in black and white and ppi in color similar to the Colorsoft along with a warm light page turn buttons a splash resistant design and GB of storage and a microSD card slot for more space It s even more similar to the Kobo Libra Colour in feature set and price so it s another option for anyone willing to think a bit outside the standard ereader box The decision between Kindle Kobo and Boox is infinitely more complicated than choosing between the Colorsoft or the standard Kindle Paperwhite ーand that s precisely because of the stark price difference The Colorsoft is more than the regular Kindle Paperwhite more if you pay to remove the lock screen ads from the Paperwhite and more than the Signature Edition and aside from the color panel it only adds wireless charging the auto adjusting front light sensor and doubles the storage Remove color from the equation and arguably the most useful of all of those is the extra storage but make no mistake GB of space on the Kindle Paperwhite is nothing to scoff at and will be just fine for most people Unless you re percent certain that color will make a huge difference in your day to day reading experience the standard Paperwhite is the better value Wrap up Photo by Valentina Palladino Engadget While it s very late to the color E Ink party the Kindle Colorsoft is a solid premium ereader that provides an excellent experience both in color and black and white I focused a lot on comparisons in this review because most people will not have the opportunity to have the Colorsoft and any of its contemporaries side by side unless you re my dad who buys almost every ereader and small tablet under the sun But to be clear the Colorsoft is a good Kindle and in many ways Amazon did pull an Apple here If you re already heavily entrenched in the Kindle ecosystem and have been holding out for a color ereader this is the device to get ーjust be prepared to pay a premium for it Also like Apple and its various operating systems there s something to be said about the convenience and ubiquity of the Kindle ecosystem The library is seemingly endless with discounts galore supplemented by Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited so it s easy to get sucked in when you re already shopping on Amazon for household goods and holiday gifts But when it comes to value for your money and a pure spec breakdown you can get more from Kobo and Boox devices Kindle isn t the only name in town anymore for ereaders and it hasn t been for a long time and that seems to be a more pronounced fact now with the introduction of the Colorsoft If nothing else Amazon has finally filled a glaring hole in its ereader lineup with this device Amazon Kindle Colorsoft vs
