Sony Sony has taken aim at the creator market with its ZV-series cameras. Now, with the introduction of the ZV-E1, the company offers a full-frame flagship aimed at more advanced users who want even higher production quality for their creations. On paper, the ZV-E1’s specs should look relatively familiar. The camera offers basically the same full-frame, 12-megapixel, backside-illuminated sensor you’ll find in the A7S III or the even more cinema-centric FX-3. So, while this is a true hybrid camera, it’s obviously better suited for shooting video than stills. That becomes even more clear when ..read more

You don't have to pay for more iCloud storage to back up your images. Bram Naus / Unsplash This article was originally featured on Popular Science. These days there’s just no way around it: you need to back up your videos and images from your iPhone onto another device in case your phone gets lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair.  The default system on iOS uploads your files to iCloud (or another cloud storage platform), which is incredibly convenient since it automatically syncs your content to your tablet, computer, and the web. But if you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection at ..read more

DJI Drone maker DJI is pushing heavily in the first-person view (FPV)  flight world, as is evident with its most recent announcement. The company has released new FPV goggles—the DJI Goggles Integra—as well as a new FPV controller, the RC Motion 2. DJI designed both peripherals for the smaller of its two FPV drones, the DJI Avata. The goggles will also work with the O3 Air Unit and Digital FPV. The Avata is already a very beginner-friendly drone. It’s absolutely tiny and, as a result, is more maneuverable than the larger DJP FPV. The new goggles and flight controller aim to improve the ..read more

Wolf-Rayet stars are known to be efficient dust producers, and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows this to great effect. Cooler cosmic dust glows at the longer mid-infrared wavelengths, displaying the structure of WR 124’s nebula. The nebula is made of material cast off from the aging star in random ejections, and from dust produced in the ensuing turbulence. This brilliant stage of mass loss precedes the star’s eventual supernova, when nuclear fusion in its core stops and the pressure of gravity causes it to collapse in on itself, and then explode ..read more

Stan Horaczek Photography has changed a ton since 1949. The DSLR came and went. Computational photography changed the way we think about creating images. Film cameras became ultra-chic fashion accessories. The really important photography stuff, however, hasn’t changed, especially when it comes to composition. I stumbled across this video in a Facebook group for film camera repair (yes, it’s exactly as nerdy as it sounds), and I was mesmerized by it. Take 10 minutes and have a watch. The video itself is perfectly retro. The audio track is a little messed up in a very aesthetic way. The nar ..read more
