We’re reviewing the Canon RF 100-500mm f4. 5-7. 1 L IS USM and still trying to figure out who it’s for. It’s an L lens, so Canon will try to target it at the professional photographer. But we’re also sure that the hobbyist is one of the passionate photographers who will pick it up.
On last week's episode of Pro Camera Reviews, Brett told us about his experiences with the new Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM. He's been testing it on the Canon EOS R6. Overall, it's a nice lens. But it's very niche.
On last week's episode of Pro Camera Reviews, we showed viewers how to clean their camera sensor. The audience loved it. And lots of folks have never done it before. It's amazingly simple to do as long as you're not afraid.
If I told you that the Sigma 85mm f1. 4 DG DN had distortion, you wouldn't believe me. Sigma has always struck home runs for image quality. But their latest lens is an exception. In fact, Sigma told us that we need to turn on peripheral correction in the camera.
Everyone can say that full frame cameras are good and that smaller sensors don't mean much of a difference. But it seems like manufacturers have a different idea. They're flooding the market with full frame cameras and there haven't been many APS-C launches accordingly.

We've been testing the Sigma 100-400mm f5-6. 3 DG OS HSM on the Sony a7r IV for a little while now. And it's making us wonder whether or not it's worth it over the G Master option. It's a lot more affordable for sure, but you're sacrificing a few things.
You’ll be glad to know that the Canon EOS R5 doesn’t overheat when shooting timelapse video. The other night, we put the Canon EOS R5 on a balcony in near 90 degree NYC weather. Then we shot a timelapse with it to test if the camera would overheat. There have been lots of reports on
The long term complaint from many a photographer is that learning how to use a flash is hard. And with the prevalence of LED lights, it seems like the industry is trying to fight the tried and true flash.
We’re clearing up some misinformation we’re seeing in Facebook groups, comments, on Instagram, etc. about the Canon EOS R5. We’ve been seeing a lot of really stupid and wrong comments about the Canon EOS R5 across various platforms.
I think it's incredibly fair to say that Sony has made some significant changes to the entire Sony a7 lineup of cameras with the Sony a7s III. You've got touch menus, a new menu system, the new CFExpress A card type, the lowest base ISO they've ever had, etc.
Aputure, который всё больше и больше становится стандартным инструментом для видеографов, поскольку позволяет сочетать высокое качество с не самой высокой ценой, выпустил новый диффузионный источник света Nova P300c, сделанный, традиционно для компании, с прицелом на использование в самых жестких условиях.

While the Sony ZV1 isn't such a well-kept secret, it also seems odd. When I look at this camera, I'm sort of reminded of the Sony Bloggie--a camera that they came out with to target pretty much the same demographic years ago.
You know exactly what we're talking about: portrait photographs where the eyes are super heavily retouched. The whites in the eyes are super white. The iris color is very light. And it makes no sense based on the lighting in the scene.
Film grain: are you doing it right, or does it just look like noise? For photographers, the idea of film grain is pretty new if you’ve only been shooting for a couple of years. Digital noise is one thing, but film grain can look pretty beautiful. It’s an organic look and with the right exposure,
The work of Ansel Adams and Michael Kenna specifically, along with that of Herb Ritts, influenced my approach to black and white imaging going back to when I first took photography in high school. Nearly failing every class in high school, I was not the best student.
In response to comments that we've gotten about Panasonic's autofocus and our complaints about it, we decided to create a video putting one system against another. So we put them all in the same situation and had them all try to autofocus on a moving subject.
The editing process in Capture One 20 is far different than that of Lightroom. And it results in many of the images that really make your jaws drop. The science behind the editing engine in both Capture One 20 and Lightroom is far different.
You don’t have to be scared of a better editing software now: here’s how you can move from Lightroom to Capture One 20. Moving away from Lightroom and coming to Capture One 20 was one of the best mental health decisions I’ve made for my career.
A solid argument can be made to say that the Sony a7s III is the red-headed stepchild of the family. I mean, Sony has been saying that it's coming for over two years now. With the delays caused by COVID-19 and the rest of the industry catching up or superseding what Sony can do with most video options, the Sony a7s III will need to be just that much better.
“Concatenation” is a new experimental short film by artist Donato Sansone, who overlapped a large number of video clips into a mind-numbing flow of motion. The clips show everything from fighter planes to birds to explosions to divers, and they’re all linked together by the rapid-fire movements of the subjects within. (via Donato Sansone via […]

Canon isn’t the only camera maker who wants to make a splash in February. It seems the flagship Nikon D6, which Nikon announced as “in development” a couple of months ago, will arrive in mid-February, and rumored specs look very promising.
На фоне роста интереса к внутреннему туризму, каналы с путешествиями тоже получают свою долю внимания, поэтому, так или иначе, всплывают в море менее стоящей информации. Ребята из «Забытой России» много ездят и при этом рассказывают интересно.

Perhaps one of the more difficult aspects of landscape photography is determining how to properly expose your scene under less-than-ideal lighting conditions. These types of situations are a common occurrence with outdoor photography as it’s often a struggle trying to properly expose an image consisting of a bright sky and a dark foreground in a […]
Андрей Лишаков запустил свой канал (поскольку в моей практике такой фотограф крутился вокруг, то думаю, что я его отдаленно знаю) Clique! (в переводе с французского «Жми!»), первое осмысленное видео в котором — о насмотренности.
Есть книги и книги. Одни дают образование, другие воспитывают. Лично на меня в разное время повлияли 3 штуки, которые я могу рекомендовать всем — естественно, если вы их прочитаете за день и скажете «не зашло», будете совершенно правы, быстро они не заходят, их надо брать и штудировать, иначе просто не работает.

Мы изначально задаем себе (и мне) неправильный вопрос неправильно: Сережа, какой фотоаппарат купить? Какой фотоаппарат самый лучший? Полный кадр или кроп? Кроп или дважды кроп? Мы скрываемся за кучей оправданий, чтобы не учиться и не снимать лучше.
Today at CineGear 2019, Panasonic is announcing the development of the company's Panasonic S1H full frame Lumix Pro camera targeted at the cinematographer.

With 102 Megapixels at the heart of the new Fujifilm GFX 100 camera, there is a very justified reason for having image stabilization built into the camera. While traditional medium format users wouldn't necessarily think this, Fujifilm has been working hard to change the way that we think about the larger sensor space.
To really understand the Alter Rapid Filter system, you need to analyze how lots of modern photojournalism work is done. There is a greater demand for both high quality video and stills both. We can talk all day about the quality of a still frame taken from a video, but the quality still isn't there yet for those of us that want to see it super large.

The Sony a7s II had a 12MP full frame sensor, and while I was convinced that the next sensor would be a 16MP option I'm now even more convinced that at the heart of the Sony a7s III will be a 24MP sensor.
Canon stood on the sidelines while the mirrorless industry went 4K and didn’t introduce a 4K mirrorless camera until the EOS M50 in February 2018. But it seems the company is done being complacent: Canon says an 8K EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera is already on its roadmap. Dave Etchells of Imaging Resource just published […]

When it comes to portrait photography there is no doubt in my mind that softboxes are the most popular diffusers, but parabolic umbrellas and beauty dishes are also a favorite of many photographers. If you're just getting into lighting, then it can be confusing as I'm positive that anyone can look at an image and not know whether or not a softbox, umbrella, or beauty dish was used to shoot it.
Canon Japan recently announced a new “high-sensitivity CMOS Sensor” that can capture high-quality, color footage a 1080p and up to 60fps even in extremely low light.
