How Adam Smith Found Inspiration in the Panasonic FZ-20

My name is Adam Smith. Photography has been part of my life, as it has been for many others growing up. Film cameras came everywhere with us on family outings in our home state of Michigan and other states around the Great Lakes.

At this point in time, photography was a means of keeping a record of memories—not an art form. I became seriously interested in photography in 2009 when I was gifted a Nikon P-90 for Christmas by my wife and mother-in-law. It replaced my Nikon L-4 (I purchased from my older brother) and transformed my view of what is possible with a camera. The Nikon L-4 was limiting. I took the Nikon P-90 everywhere with me. To the store, on walks and hikes, and to the skate park where I enjoyed afternoons on my BMX bike. I took so many pictures with it. The camera inspired confidence. It told my story. But my favorite camera is the Panasonic FZ-20. .

Nikon Was Almost Named ‘Nikorette’

Gear of the Year 2018 - Barney's choice: Nikon Z7

This year seems like it went by in a flash (although thinking back to some of the news headlines I'm still tempted to say 'good riddance'). In the photo industry, 2018 has definitely felt like a year of transitions: not least because this was the year that Canon and Nikon finally entered the full-frame mirrorless market, and in so doing began the slow process of moving beyond their respective legacy EF and F mounts. dpreview.com »

Nikon D3: The camera that changed everything

In 2007, after several years of lagging behind Canon in the enthusiast and professional DSLR market, Nikon was doing alright. Not spectacularly, but they were hanging in there. The D200 was a popular and capable enthusiast model, and the professional D2x was a significant advance on the muddled 'h' and 's' releases of the past. dpreview.com »

Throwback Thursday: Nikon D70

In 2004 I had to make the same grueling decision as many fellow photographers: Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel) or Nikon D70 - which one was to become my first digital SLR? The Canon, which had been launched in August 2003 was the first true consumer-level DSLR and had been on my wish list for a few months when, in January 2004, Nikon threw a curve ball and launched a direct competitor to the EOS 300D: the D70, the company's first sub-$1000 digital SLR. dpreview.com »

Throwback Thursday: the Nikon D80

Ten megapixels ought to be enough for anybody. It was ten years ago this past September that Nikon introduced its 10 megapixel, twin-dial D80 DSLR. It was also ten years ago that my dad picked up a shiny new example of one to act as a backup to his workhorse studio camera, the D200. dpreview.com »

This Vintage Camera Video Ad Was Shot With the Nikon F5

These days, it's not uncommon to see timelapse videos shot with just still cameras; but it was very uncommon to see it back in 1997 and done with the Nikon F5. But a vintage ad (yes, because the 90s are vintage) This commercial was shot back in 1997 by Alastair Thain using the Nikon F5 camera! According to the YouTube description, this was the first time a stills camera had ever been used to shoot "moving images". thephoblographer.com »

Fujifilm Instax Found A Fantastic Way to Print Images From Your Mind

Photographers have always captured reality or recreated figments of their imaginations. Whatever they saw or felt was made into a tactile print to hold and nurture. Similarly, they returned to their trustworthy photographs when they wished to relive or remember a specific moment because memory, after all, is like a tide.

Jordanna Kalman and The Poetic Reclamation of Her Photographs

Some photographs are not documents of a lived reality; they transcend to become an emotion, a fleeting sentiment captured like the lines of poetry. They don't reveal their true nature at one quick glance; instead, they entice you with queries, provoking you to peel back each layer to witness their true essence.

Canon seemed to be in its element when the camera giant recently announced its flagship, the Canon EOS R1, and video-centric device, the Canon EOS R5 MK II. However, soon after you glance at the specifications, you realize the cameras seem to be falling behind their competitors.
