The latest retro-style mirrorless from Fujifilm, the compact X100VI, generated a real buzz throughout the photo community as soon as it was announced. Its predecessor, the X100V, was extremely popular and initial reactions to the new model seem to indicate that the new model’s popularity will likely exceed that of the previous iteration. Physically similar to the four-year old model, the gen VI version, with its 35mm (35mm-equivalent) F2 fixed lens, is nicely compact measuring 5.03 x 2.94 x 2.17 inches and weighing 18.37 ounces. You’ll still find Fuji’s retro-style dials atop the camera body ..read more

3w ago
It’s been a couple years since the OM-1 was announced, and a recent update moves the new OM-1 Mark II into the coveted flagship spot of the OM System (formerly known as Olympus) line of Micro Four Thirds cameras. This 20-megapixel camera utilizes a stacked sensor, and with up to 8.5 stops of image stabilization, is at home under low-light conditions. And, with its IP53 rating, this camera doesn’t shy away from the elements thanks to its weather sealing. Like its predecessor, the OM-1 Mark II provides a broad and deep feature set including both handheld (50mp) and tripod-based (80mp) high-reso ..read more

Sony Announces First Full-Frame Camera with a Global Shutter

Sony’s latest announcement has certainly caused a stir among photographers. The Sony a9 III’s global shutter may be at the top of the list for many, but there’s a lot more going on in this incredibly fast third generation full-frame camera.  Built around a 24-megapixel full-frame Exmor RS CMOS sensor, the a9 III’s global shutter—which reads all pixels at the same time—promises to eliminate rolling shutter and any distortion when photographing movement. Banding should be a thing of the past as well.  The new Sony a9 III’s global shutter is groundbreaking and truly the first of its ki ..read more

Sony has started the usual late summer/early fall, get-ready-for-camera-announcements series by announcing two new compact, full-frame mirrorless cameras and a new high-end lens.   Both cameras—the a7C II and the a7C R—are similar in design, and like the original a7C, are compact and lightweight (two features that are sure to appeal to photographers who want to streamline their gear or want an easy-to-carry camera for travel or street photography). The 33-megapixel a7C II measures 4.88 x 2.8 x 2.5 inches (w x h x d) and weighs approximately 18.1 ounces. Similarly, the 61-megapixel a ..read more

Sony just announced several new products including the FE 70-200mm f/4 Macro G OSS II lens, the a6700—its latest APS-C mirrorless camera—and the Sony ECM-M1 Compact Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone. All three should be available in August but we got a sneak peek to share with you ahead of shipping.   Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II  © Sony Most photographers (at least those we know) are more likely to upgrade their cameras before they replace a lens, especially one of their workhorse staples like the 70-200mm zoom. But it looks like Sony made updates on this new model that ..read more

Nikkor Z Releases New Lenses & Tether Tools Updates Software

Nikon Z 70-180mm f/2.8  © Nikon Good news for Nikon Z shooters! Nikon has added two new lenses to its Z-series line: the Nikkor Z 70-180mm f/2.8 and the Z 180-800mm f/5.6-6.3 VR. While the latter is best left to wildlife and sports photographers, we think that the Z 70-180mm f/2.8 model looks like a solid lightweight alternative to its more established Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S sibling—at about half the price. The new lens comes in at $1,250 vs the 70-200mm’s $2,397.   Granted, the 70-180mm lens doesn’t have VR (one of the reasons for the difference in price and size, of cours ..read more

Nikon Z8 Revealed!

Rumors swirled as Nikon posted a tantalizing teaser and enthusiasts formed a dedicated Facebook group prior to this morning’s reveal of the Nikon Z8. Positioned—at least in body size and price—between the Z7 and the flagship Z9, the new model has most of the same specs and performance as its higher end sibling for about $1,500 less ($4,000 vs. $5,500). Is this a mini-me of the Z9? Or is it a faster, updated mirrorless version of the D850? Maybe a little bit of both, but given its almost identical specs, we’ll go with the former, for now.  [Read: Two Nikon Z-Series FX Prime Lenses] One of ..read more

Canon R6 Mark II Review: The Best Hybrid on the Market

When the Canon R6 Mark II was announced late last year and the specs were released, many people in the photography scene online and on YouTube, viewed it as a mid level upgrade. At first glance, it’s easy to see how that could be said, but after you use the camera is when you realize that it is an awesome upgrade to both photo and video, making it the best hybrid camera you can buy currently. In the current times we live in, the separation in quality with resolution, video capabilities, low light performance, and color science is razor thin across all of the professional level ..read more
