Expensive cameras often lack basic features. The most common limitations-by-design are fixed screens and no flash. I suspect that some camera designers aren’t photographers and don’t realize how much these two features will be missed.
Let’s consider these two limitations. Other limitations will be discussed later in this article. Cameras with Fixed Screens A movable […]. petapixel.com

Photographer Usman Dawood recently published an article in defense of Adobe. Reading it was a lot like reading a Microsoft fanboy at the height of the Window Vista era — sure, the product works, but at what level of financial cost and frustration? “Over the last few years, it seems like it’s become really cool […] petapixel.com »

Over the last few years, it seems like it’s become really cool to hate Adobe; kind of like how it’s cool to hate Coldplay. Except the main difference is that Coldplay really does suck. Note: I do not have any kind of relationship with Adobe. petapixel.com »

Portrait photographers that work in a studio are going to adore the Nikon Z 85mm f1. 8. I have to admit that every time a Nikon unit came in for review, I sort of sighed.

While still cameras use histograms to show tonal distribution and clipping, many video cameras use waveforms for the same purpose. Here’s an educational 8-minute video in which DPReview‘s Chris Nichols argues why waveforms are better than histograms and why still cameras should adopt them too. petapixel.com »

Most serious photographers are familiar with histograms, but what about waveforms? Chris and Jordan explain why this tool from the video world may just be the best way to judge exposure for still photos too – and why all cameras should have them. dpreview.com »

There is something amiss with the photo above. I’m not talking about the missing teeth on the left — that’s the correct photo. The problem is the photo on the right. Surely we have lost the plot when we start Photoshopping an 8-year-old’s gappy grin. petapixel.com »

As a photography lover I always look for new sparks in order to improve my technique: here in Northern Italy, it's enough to watch out of my window to see the beauty of the Alps.

Think "action camera," and visions of snowboarders recording their high-adrenaline run down a slope spring to mind, and with good reason. Action cameras have unlocked new creative options for those wanting to capture their active pursuits on film.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday offered many deals for photographers looking to upgrade their equipment while saving a few dollars in the process. Typically, this online promotion on steroids allows brands and camera store chains to push stock that has been on the shelves for a couple of years and is likely to be superseded by newer models over the coming months.
In this industry, perception matters -- a lot. Side by side, spec for spec, the Canon R1 is obviously improved versus the R3 but not to the degree that feels like an entirely different camera line. [Read More]
It's easy to think that the Canon EOS R1 is the main attraction of Canon's announcements this week. The company made a development announcement for it and it's been heavily teased.
The Nikon Z6 III's peak dynamic range can't keep pace with its predecessor, the Z6 II. The gap isn't minor, either. But how much does it matter, and does it mean photographers should opt for the older model? [Read More]
Earlier this week, Nikon announced the Z6 III to considerable fanfare, and for good reason. It packs so many features into a $2,500 system that it manages to be a camera that is more than a compromise, even at that price.
I originally did this article on CanonNews but talking to Craig about the latest R1 stuff, and whatnot, it seemed like a good idea to update it and redraft it to be more modern. I’m going to keep the initial paragraph the way it was because I think it sets the tone. My thoughts on [...] Source
