Mirrorless, mirrorless, ah the joys of mirrorless. Isn’t it better than DSLRs in every way possible? It may be. But honestly, I couldn’t care less. While that may sound egoistical, the reason I don’t care is that I’m not upgrading to mirrorless anytime soon.

Think about it for a minute: if you’re willing to hold a camera to your eye, why not have a camera attached to it that can snap away, by voice instruction, instead of finger on the shutter? That’s the premise of Facebook’s new $299 camera glasses that also play music and podcasts. And if you […] petapixel.com »

In 2018 with some trepidation I bought my first mirrorless camera, a Nikon Z7. It wasn’t because I thought it was better than the DSLR I had been using but because my old muscles were spasming with the weight of the camera I was using and I hoped that a package a pound lighter would […] petapixel.com »

The lead image of this blog post features a beautifully scanned negative of Kodak Portra 400. Looks really nice, right? Lots of photographers who get into analog film photography will then go about scanning their images to show them off online. thephoblographer.com »

I’ve been shooting Canon for the last 15 years and have finally made the decision to move on. The reasons are not really the focus of this article but rather my process for getting into a new system and making that process a creative one. Like many of you, I read spec sheets, listen to […] petapixel.com »

With companies releasing hit after hit of new gear from cameras to lenses at CP+, gear acquisition syndrome is very real. But does upgrading really make such a difference? I recently had the opportunity to find out. [Read More]
Sigma has announced that it will offer a paid service to current fp camera owners who want to replace the dials with the newer ones on the recently announced fp L. The “button replacement service” will cost about $150 and is not included in the camera’s warranty. The company says that the service is provided […]
I recently came across an interesting comment made by a participant in a photography forum: “You should only upgrade your camera only if it’s limiting you, not just because you have the money to.
Photography equipment has come a long way in recent years; staggering megapixel counts, blisteringly fast AF systems, and low-light performance that was unheard of not long ago. But in my opinion, one of the most useful and underrated advancements has been in off-camera lighting, notably portable, battery-powered strobes. Gone are the days where I hauled […]
Earlier this week, Apple dropped a substantial update for the 27-inch iMac: its workhorse all-in-one favored by many photographers. The updated specs go beyond just adding the latest processors—Apple also updated the GPUs, doubled the maximum RAM, made some updates to the display, and installed a better webcam to boot. One thing that hasn’t changed […]
Apple quietly released two updates to its product line today. First and foremost, they’ve added a more powerful GPU option to the high-end 16-inch MacBook Pro; secondly, they’ve released a new SSD upgrade kit for owners of the new Mac Pro tower.
