As an MTG-B1000-1A owner I was stunned when I saw the latest MTG-B3000D-1A9 that CASIO launched just a little while ago. The watch is simply gorgeous! I would love to exchange mine for this new kid on the block, but spending 1050 USD is not really something I'm thinking to do right now. Here some more pictures ..read more

Is this the new Nikon Z8 image with a few specs? It was reportedly leaked by Nikon Pakistan and has found its way onto a few Japanese Twitter accounts where I have scooped it up. I cannot verify, if this is accurate. Please wait for the official launch. With that said, this would be amazing ..read more

The Nikon Z9 is the best mirrorless camera ever made, there's no doubt about it. The camera is so good, that the usual Nikon-haters are having a meltdown. So they're looking to find any fault to divert attention to that, and there's really not much to find. The latest attempt is the continuous burst in RAW, it is supposedly too small. So one Nikon fan on a forum posted a screen grab from Nikon Japan translated into English that shows all the RAW formats and what are the file sizes. If I had the Z9, I would probably shoot in RAW (high efficiency ★), because the quality is really close to lossle ..read more

Sony just released its latest mid-range camera, the A7 IV, and of course seeded the camera to over a dozen of popular Youtubers, most of which are not photographers, but just paid shills. You can skip most of them, because they will not tell you that this update is bogus. Yes, they bumped the resolution up from 24 mpxls to 33 mpxls, but they also raised the price from 2000 USD to 2500 USD. This is a camera in a completely different segment than its predecessor, it's a marketing trick. It also only shoots 5 fps, if you want to shoot RAW (lossless compression), previously it was 10. They added s ..read more

The Apple event is over and the new iPhone 13 models will be available in October 2020. This time they were named iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro. Both series have 2 editions. The iPhone 12 has a smaller version called Mini and is basically as small as the current iPhone SE (here is why I don't recommend that phone), while the iPhone Pro comes in standard and Max editions. I personally think it's a nice, but a very small update. If you own an iPhone 12 there's no reason to upgrade. Here are all the models and their prices as of today in New Taiwan Dollars. iPhone 13 Mini (5.4", 5 color opt ..read more

  I just had the pleasure to get my hands on the Nikon Z fc, Nikon's recent mega hit that is also sold out here in Taiwan, and share some of my impressions. First of all, the camera is tiny. It's much smaller than I thought which is a good thing. Secondly, it looks so realistically like a film camera from certain angle, you'd never think it's a digital camera. And that small screen that displays the f-stop is really small, but I like it a lot. The camera is really solidly built, much better than a Fuji in that same segment.   This is the most beautiful camera of the year. The top ..read more

The Nikon Z fc is one of the most popular cameras of 2021, and by far more important than the likes of Sony Alpha A1 which delivered some amazing specs, but is way too expensive for your average consumer. The Z fc with its affordable price of around 1000 USD is a camera for everybody, and offers an amazing digital and analog experience. Much better than Fuji, there's no doubt about it. But what is currently missing are some amazing native compact manual lenses that would complement the camera, however there is an alternative available: ZEISS ZM lenses (lenses that are made for Leica M mount ..read more

Nikon is not only profitable again, but they have shown, that they are having a fantastic future ahead of them. Do you remember the doom and gloom by Youtubers like Tony Trump? Pushing the agenda of an impending bankruptcy, and how Nikon is behind everybody. Lo and behold, it's 2021, and suddenly Nikon is the company that is creating the most excitement in the camera world. Earlier this year they have announced the development of the flagship Z9, a short ime later they have launched 2 amazing macro lenses (a 50mm and 105mm), as well as the development of 2 compact lenses (28mm and 40mm), as w ..read more
