Often, once you invest into a camera system bundle deals make little sense. But thanks to the enormous success of the Sony mirrorless sytem, and in particular with their A7 III, more and more of you DSLR people are coming to see mirrorless as a potential upgrade path; either in the near or intermediate future.
Chances are that most of you shoot portraiture of some kind, be that families, weddings, kids, boudoir, pets, etc. But one niche of portraiture that is often overlooked is the whole idea of candid portraiture, which to some extent could also probably be classified as lifestyle in some scenarios.
Tamron's SP 45mm F1. 8 VC is one of our favorite prime lenses for Canon and Nikon shooters right now. It is a nice focal length for those who like a little more width than a 50mm, but need more reach than a 35mm can provide.
Canon and Nikon were, for the longest time, the ‘big two’ of the photography industry. In many ways that is still the case, by default, but that tide has been turning. In large part due to the rise of mirrorless camera systems, primarily Sony’s full frame E Mount, but also from Fujifilm’s X-Series and the Panasonic/Olympus Micro Four Thirds partnership.
It’s been years now since Samsung released a dedicated camera, despite their NX1 still holding up quite well even by today’s standards in many ways. So you would not be out of line for assuming that Samsung’s gaze had moved away from imaging and imaging sensors – but you would be mistaken.

There has been a lot of stories over the last year or so from people that have left Canon for Sony, only to return later. A few of the big reasons we’ve seen for the return to Canon center around support, reliability, professional services and repair times.
The camera has become the paintbrush but unlike a paintbrush to the painter, the camera is a very personal choice for the modern photographer. The number of camera choices for visual artists today is confusing and can slow down creative growth which is what happened to me.
The Canon 6D was for a long time one of the best bang for your buck DSLR options on the market if full frame was what you were looking for, and honestly that still rings true today. Though, no doubt there are other options around its price point that have advantages (and disadvantages) over the 6D.

The GH4, while technically now two camera's back from Panasonic's top of the line offerings, is still an incredibly powerful and capable camera that most people (except the most demanding) could really get some great use out of still - especially you video/stills hybrid shooters.

Replacing Hirai as CEO […]
BCN have release their rankings for 2017. These numbers represent about 50% of all Japanese camera retailers, so the numbers do come from a long sample. These numbers do not reflect sales in the rest of Asia, Europe or North America.

If you're a fan of the film Ricoh cameras, then you'll probably be all over the Ricoh GR-E. Awhile back we reviewed a little known camera *CLEAR SARCASM SLAPPING YOU IN THE FACE RIGHT HERE* called the Ricoh GR II.
It has been a while now since 7Artisans announce their new 12mm F2.8 and 35mm F1.2 prime lenses for APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. That was back in November and there was some question about when these lenses would finally be available for purchase, and well – that day has come.

Well, it appears the folks over at Sigma are feeling a little extra generous this holiday season and have recently announced a series wide discount of $100 off.
I grew up in a household where unlike many others in the neighborhood, had digital point and shoots. Instead, my late and technologically inept mother kept disposable cameras close to her heart. My college graduation in 2009, my high school graduation in 2005, my birthdays--they were all caught on film that's now sadly gone due to destruction.
Sony is partnering with the Photo Start foundation to encourage people to donate used (and new) working cameras, lenses, and accessories to help at-risk children around the world. The project uses photography to teach and improve self-reliance, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
I've been a Capture One convert for a while now as all our testing involves running RAW files and more through the program. It's simply a better piece of software than Lightroom is; and at this point both versions of Adobe Lightroom feel way too pedestrian for the type of work that I'm doing.
The best thing about this time of year is the sales, and even if the majority of the money we spend on these savings is for others, that doesn't mean we can't have a deal or two that we take advantage of for ourselves.
Regardless of how you feel about DxOMark and their camera sensor rankings, the fact is that these numbers are an interesting peek into how one sensor may stack up against another. Probably the two biggest launches of the year in 2017 has been the Nikon D850 and the Sony A7R III.
So, as we recently did with most of the camera systems that we cover regularly, we are going to continue putting together these series of ultimate guides based on the various tutorials and lists, and guides that we produced on various topics throughout the last year.

Sony is a company that in some ways, came out of the blue when it comes to photography. Years ago they bought the Minolta camera business and therefore the Alpha lineup of lenses and cameras. Since then, they've made it evolve over time.

The revamped Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 100mm f2. 8 Lens has been around for a little while now, and it will mostly appeal to the photographers that like the look of old vintage lenses. Indeed, these lenses have different coatings and construction than many modern optics which are designed to be super sterile and sharp.
To say that the buzz surrounding the Sony A7R III was high is a bit of an understatement, and despite Sony knowing that they pretty much had the best all-around mirrorless camera on the market coming down the pipe, early demand caught even them off-guard.
We have posted a lot of great Sony guides here over the last year regarding everything from cameras to lenses, accessories and everything in-between. If you’re looking for an easy place to get some information on Sony’s E-Mount system then you are in the right place.
It is a question that you may have found yourself asking at some point over the years, 28mm or 35mm? These are two focal lengths that render somewhat similar fields of view, have similar distortion characteristics and are generally around the same size.
Sigma recently unveiled their 16mm F1.4 for Sony E-Mount (designed for APS-C sensors) and Micro Four Thirds. While at Photo Plus Expo 2017 Sigma was showing off their new 16mm and we had a chance to play with the lens so here are our initial impressions on it.

So as you have no doubt heard, Sony just announced their newest A7 series camera, the A7R III, which features some pretty impressive improvements over the A7R II. Notably, the A7R III retains the same exact 42.
When it comes down to it, there’s nothing magical about the mirror in traditional SLR cameras. While it performs a very specific function, the mirror isn’t required to take a photograph, and plenty of cameras in the pre- and post-digital eras already operate mirror-free.
Ожидается обновление линейки A7. Пресс-мероприятие Sony пройдет 25 октября в 18:00 по Москве. В прошлом компания Sony каждый год радовала нас многочисленными анонсами новых камер. Но теперь и она замедляет безумные скорости выпуска своих продуктов.
Every photographer needs to start somewhere. And one of the biggest things that people don't understand is the answer to the question "What makes someone a photographer?" Technically, everyone is a photographer these days.
The world’s love affair with Film is far from over if the return of Kodak’s Ektachrome or the popularity of film emulation presets is not clued enough. But another new project aims to take that to another level, with a camera that featuring interchangeable backs, one capable of shooting film and the other digital.
Canon's 7D Mark II and Panasonic's GH4 are two really popular options right now for photographers, and right now both are available for great deals over on Amazon. But that isn't all, T5i Kit deals are nice (if you aren't set on a newwww camera) and the GX8 is also a good deal right now.
One of the brands of cameras that you would absolutely never think would come back from the dead is Minolta; but according to Photo Rumors your lack of belief in zombies is wrong! Elite Brands, the makers of both Rokinon and Samyang, has seemingly struck a sort of licensing agreement to use the name brand.
It is no secret that one of the best advantages of mirrorless over traditional DSLR systems is the ease of adapting various lenses to your camera. You can use really old vintages lenses for a unique look and feel with ease, but the one thing that you always give up when you use these old lenses is Auto Focus – but Fotodiox Pro doesn’t want that to be the case anymore (at least on Sony mirrorless) thanks to their new PRONTO lens adapter.
We first shared this lightroom preset deal a few weeks ago, but time is running out on this limited time deal. The deal is over at PhotoWhoa and includes color presets, black and white presets, film look presets, just about every type of preset you can imagine, this pack has it all and it is only $50, so if you are interested now is the time grab it before its gone forever.
If you're a person that has been looking to just get into photography, there's a strong chance that you've considered the Canon Rebel T7i. The Canon Rebel lineup of cameras often sell well due to Canon's name, bundles, and aggressive marketing/pricing.
When the Apple iPhone 7 was announced, it was clear that Apple was going after the DSLR and mirrorless cameras in an intention to end their industry. The new camera in the Apple iPhone 7 Plus is said to use a telephoto (though it's actually a normal) lens and a wide angle to create an image with a blurred background.
