cause vibration. so, enter mirrorless. now the light hits the sensor directly, which also handles autofocus and exposure. and, in doing so, it's also able to offer other features, like face or eye detection. the newer full frame mirrorless cameras house larger sensors, capturing more light for a better picture. to do all of this, the viewfinder is no longer optical. it's a tiny electronic screen with a live feed from the sensor, which initially put off some professionals. but is this the moment that the dslr has finally met its match? dan simmons has been to the world's biggest photo expo, photokina, in germany, to find out. photography isn't about cameras. it's about taking great pictures. but the introduction

from heavyweights nikon and canon in the mirrorless full frame market is turning the heads of pros as well as enthusiasts. i am an extreme sports photographer and i had the chance for about two months to test the new eosr. this is canon's new system. on sale from tuesday, it will work with existing eos lenses and offers several big advantages over dslr. this new camera enables me to shoot scenarios that i couldn't shoot before. for instance, if i get really close to an athlete, he is in his zen mode where he prepares for a stunt, and it's quite critical. if i disturb him too much, he might lose his stunt and i might lose my picture. but eosr, i can put into silent mode and then it is really completely silent. it's like there is no noise at all. the only way you can understand that there is a picture being taken is a little flash around the viewfinder. i was sceptical about electronic viewfinder. i was scared about how

to work with that. but when the light drops it is a whole new ball game. it is like putting on nightvision goggles because you actually see more with this camera then you can see with your eyesight. you can shoot images and you can create compositions that i could never have done before. canon fans have been waiting for this new system for some time now. they watched sony introduce the world's first mirrorless model back in 2013. so why has it taken canon so long to catch up? well, you know, we come from a digital slr big leadership. we have to ensure that we offer people what they want. they wanted this full frame mirrorless camera two years ago, that's when they wanted it. i don't know when they wanted it, but we believe this is the right time. sony have been out for five years with a camera similar this. it was a growing market.

are you saying it wasn't worth putting it out earlier? it was maybe worth it, maybe not. were you ready to put it out earlier? we are ready today, clearly. but were you ready before? this is canon. if we come up with something, it must be the best. the best in mirrorless is understandably a bone of contention. so before i tell you why it might not be, let me tell you four good reasons why that might be the best. canon claim the fastest autofocus, at one twohundredth of a second. more autofocus points than any other system — more than 5000, if you need them. and the ability to autofocus in darker situations than any other camera in the world — minus 6 ev if you're interested. for the hard—core, they have a new zoom that is f2 throughout the range. but is the eosr the best? nikon hasn't updated its famous

camera lens f—mount system since it was introduced in 1959 — until last week, when it too went mirrorless. the new full frame 26 and z7 models are slimmer and lighter. an adapter allows them to work with existing nikon lenses, and they sport a visible wider z—mount, allowing more light to hit the sensor. the idea is to create lenses which are as sharp and perform at wider aperture. the new z—mount from nikon is more than 1000 times faster than the traditional f—mount. that is the speed the camera talks to the lens, and then the lens can then respond. exactly. to be honest, we are actually not using the speed yet, but that is looking forward. i don't know what we're talking about — in five years to ten years — when you might have different applications.

is there any reason why we should keep dslrs in the future? definitely. dslr are still the ones that have, let's say, the longest battery life. sometimes you actually need the sturdiness and the weight. the mirrorless cameras will come there eventually. but remember it is probably what what you shoot that makes the biggest difference. it may not be the nicest lens or have superfast autofocus, but it is mirrorless. this is the zozo suit and generally you would be wearing it in the privacy of your own home. the aim is that it helps create 3d measurements of you so you can order custom—made clothes online. around 400 unique markers are tracked by the phone's app. the company behind the suit, zoonown, although you may never have heard of it,

is the biggest online fashion retailer in japan. a business which turned its founder, yusaku maezawa, from a drummer in a band into a billionaire. but he may be feeling a little distracted right now, as he has bought the first tickets for elon musk‘s 2023 spacex mission to the moon. he doesn't want to travel into space alone though. i met up with the avid art collector at the louis vuitton foundation in paris where his $110 million basquiat painting is currently on show. ever since i was a kid, i have loved the moon very much. after hearing about spacex, at what point did you start to think, "yes, i actually want to go and do this"? yusaku wants to bring artists along

with him, at his expense, to see how their experience inspires their work. maybe it will be a musician, a painter, a dancer, a film director, i don't know yet. so right now there are still a lot of things in question, a lot needs to be developed. how likely do you think it is that this is going to go ahead? so, you trust elon musk?

you know him. do you like him? are you friends? would you like him to come? he is crazy, like me. is he crazy enough to want to go to the moon? i am very honoured to do that. what do you hope that you may come back thinking, feeling, or having learned? how much does a ticket

to the moon cost? i cannot say about that. but huge. hundreds of millions? you're not allowed to say? thank you very much. and safe journey. thank you. you want to go? really? i'm i wasn't expecting an invite! that's it for this week's show. you can find the full—length programme online. you can keep track of what we are up to on facebook and twitter at @bbcclick, and of course we will be back next week.

good evening. this weekend, we promised you a tale of two madhouse and that is exactly what happened. what a difference a day makes. —— a tale of two parts. a pretty miserable day in comparison to yesterday. further aside, after a chilly start, some sunshine. a much better afternoon in parts of cambridge in comparison to yesterday. it has felt quite pleasant. further north and west, get that cloud and rain and also

noticeable gusts of wind in excess of 50 mph at times. that rain is here to stay through the night and into monday and potentially tuesday as well. it could bring the potential of some localised flooding. further cloud further south, so not quite as cold a night. we start monday, still the potential for some rain around us. it is not a wash—out to start off with. the northern isles fund for north—east of scotla nd northern isles fund for north—east of scotland may be dry and bright but there is more rain to come and it just keeps feeding but there is more rain to come and itjust keeps feeding instead lay off the atlantic over the next couple of days. a south—westerly breeze will always dry in more cloud along west facing coasts. further east, drier and brighter weather in prospect. it does look as though as we go through monday we will see this weather front bringing some rain and it will meander its way north and south through the day on monday. some of it quite heavy across much of western and northern areas of scotland. the best of the sunshine in sheltered southern and

eastern areas, temperatures a degree 01’ so eastern areas, temperatures a degree orso up. similar eastern areas, temperatures a degree or so up. similar story as we move out of monday into tuesday. still that weather front bringing the potential for further wet weather into scotland and northern ireland, and certainly more cloud and more of and certainly more cloud and more of a breeze. that south—westerly still driving in more warmth further south with some sunshine. temperatures peaking at 20 degrees. if that is music to your ears, it does look as though the wind will change its su btle though the wind will change its subtle direction and bring some warmth. i heard of it, we could, for the start of wednesday, the potential for some fog. hopefully this wind will lift that we readily away and that will dry the weather front out of scotland as well. from wednesday and thursday, it looks likely to get warmer still, even into the far north of scotland. take care. this is bbc news i'm rachel schofield. the headlines at 8:00. snp leader nicola sturgeon — says her party would back a new brexit referendum — if the proposal was put forward at westminster.
