Cameras with IBIS aren't new anymore, but it’s only in the last few years or so that the technology has worked its way into more affordable camera bodies. The benefits of IBIS are quite excellent. Being able to attach any lens to cameras with IBIS and being able to take advantage of stabilization is a game-changer, especially when it comes to shooting in low light.
In the not too distant past, things weren't all peaches and cream when it came to high ISO performance in affordable cameras. Unless you had bottomless pockets and could afford top of the line cameras, shooting in low light was a challenge.

The year 2020 was lining up to be one of the most innovative in the camera and photography world until the effects of COVID 19 pretty much tanked the economy around the world. There was so much riding on this.
Sometimes all we want to do is go out and shoot with as little gear as possible. At times, just thought of having to load up your camera bag and then having to lug it around can put a damper on your photography plans, and this, my friends, is where small fixed lens cameras come into their own.
In the not too distant past, spending less than $1,000 on a camera meant that you got a barebones package with hardly any of the modern features that could be found in cameras that were much more expensive; this, however, is not the case today.

Figuring out the crop factors from one camera system to another can be a bit tedious. Remembering what camera system using what sensors is also a bit annoying. So we've come up with a full Photography Cheat Sheet to help you folks out there.

Come with me on a journey to 2012. Things were going fantastically well for Canon. They were riding high thanks to the success of the Canon 5D II, the 5D III had just hit the streets, and it too was a roaring success.

Sigma has been knocking it out of the park for a few years now with lenses that have focused primarily on Full Frame cameras, but we have seen flashes of their brilliance with a few APS-C and Micro Four Thirds lenses as well.

Could you honestly answer whether or not you're a better fit for an f2. 8 or an f4 zoom lens? It's a valid question for many photographers. Lots of photographers who I've spoken to in the past few months have been content with an f4 zoom lens when I would have thought that they needed an f2.

After first laying eyes on the Canon RF 70-200mm f2. 8 L IS USM nearly a year ago, I didn't really know what to expect when the review unit came in. What I didn't realize is that it would quickly become one of my favorite telephoto zoom lenses.

Just a few short years ago, Full Frame cameras were way out of the reach of most photographers.

When the Panasonic S1 was announced, I'll admit that I took far less interest in it than I did the S1R. I personally need more color depth, and the lower megapixel sensors just don't do it for me.
