[embedded content] If you’re a Fuji user looking for an equivalent to the “nifty fifty” lenses available for Nikon and Canon DSLRs, you’ve probably considered picking up Fuji’s old XF 35mm f/1.4 or the XF 35mm f/2. But what if there was a more affordable, faster option out there? The Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 wants to

DJI has announced their new Matrice 300 RTK “flying platform” (big drone) and the Zenmuse H20 hybrid camera series, to provide “a safer and smarter solution” to their enterprise customers. The M300 RTK, DJI says, is their first to integrate modern aviation features, advanced AI, 6-direction sensing and positioning, a UAV health management system and

I love drones, but I don’t love the stereotypes, stigmas, attention, and negativity that comes with them. I’ve been flying since the Phantom 4, so I got into it right as the wild west of drone flying was coming to an end, and restrictions and regulations were being rolled out. Now several years after that,

A little over 2 years ago, I did some extensive testing of the Nikon D5, D750, D810 and the then-newly released D850. The comparison was to determine which was the best camera for night photography. I concluded that the answer depended on your needs and budget––I recommended the D750 as a great camera at an

Viltrox has posted their updated lens roadmap to Weibo and it shows nine new lenses coming between now and next year.

[embedded content] Raspberry Pi just upped its camera game in a big way. The charity and single-board computer maker has just released the so-called ‘High Quality Camera’—a 12.3MP camera module complete with an interchangeable lens mount… all for just $50. The official announcement was made by Simon Martin, Principal Engineer at Raspberri Pi, over on

[embedded content] AI-based editing tools keep getting better and there’s no doubt that they can make our lives easier. But can AI do a better job than a pro photographer or a paid retoucher? Dan Watson decided to test it out. He hired retouchers on Fiverr, had a professional photographer retouch his image, and did

Canon Rumors is reporting that Canon has not one, but two new EOS R bodies planned for release in 2021. That’s in addition to the already-announced EOS R5 and the rumored EOS R6, both of which are expected in 2020. Unfortunately, details about these cameras are non-existent for now. It’s still too early for specs

[embedded content] Plenty of people use their Canon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras as webcams, but up until now you needed third party software or a capture card like the Cam Link to make it happen. No more. Canon has released its own software that’s up to the task. In a quiet announcement earlier today, Canon

Kinefinity’s a relative unknown in a world with big names such as RED and Arri. They’ve not been around for long (only 8 years), but they sure are good at making big splashes, and this one’s a bit of a doozy. They’ve just announced the Kinefinity MAVO Edge camera which shoots 8K video on a

Just 10 days after a major leak told us what we should expect, Chinese drone maker DJI has officially unveiled the Mavic Air 2: a drone they’re calling “the smartest, safest and easiest-to-fly consumer drone” on the market. The Mavic Air 2 combines new hardware with intelligent software to pack a lot of aerial imaging

[embedded content] I managed to get Sony to lend me every single lens they have to loan and I shot one model with them. Many of these lenses are not made for portraits so the sample image may not be relevant to the lens. I just thought it would be interesting to see how the

Cinema camera and software maker Blackmagic Design has announced a major price drop for the popular Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, knocking $500 off the MSRP and making one of the cheapest cinema cameras on the market even more affordable. Blackmagic announced the permanent price drop earlier today, bringing the total retail price of the BMPCC

It was early 2000, and the world looked on towards a new and exciting millennium, thankful that their worst fears surrounding Y2K never surfaced. At the time, I was getting ready to launch my portrait photography business using a completely digital capture and workflow, and was intent on investing in the Nikon D1 as my

[embedded content] If you’re a total bokeh maniac, two of the lenses you’ve probably looked at with yearning are the Leica Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 and the Nikon Noct 58mm f/0.95. But how do these actually very different lenses compare to one another when you shoot them side-by-side? That’s what YouTuber mathphotographer set out to test,

[embedded content] The Godox AD300Pro is the latest portable flash in the Godox X 2.4Ghz system lineup. It sits between the AD200Pro and AD400Pro in terms of power, but it seems to have the best bits of both. It has a decent amount of power when you need it, with colour consistency and fast recycle

[embedded content] If you needed more proof that the world was going nuts, it seems that Samsung is working on 600-megapixel sensors. In an editorial post on the Samsung website, Yongin Park, Head of Sensor Business Team stated they’re prepared to “ride the next wave” of tech innovation, and is determined to produce sensors with

Samsung unveiled the world’s first 108-megapixel smartphone camera sensor back in August 2019, but that sensor is only a taste of what may be to come. Samsung is aiming to one day make a 600-megapixel sensor that’s superior to the human eye. “The image sensors we ourselves perceive the world through – our eyes –

Sony Alpha Rumours just spotted a patent (although they didn’t link to it so we can all have a read) showing a new “light field” lens for the Sony E Mount. Sony teamed up with the folks at Light (of Light L16 fame) just over a year ago with a deal that, at the time,

Venus Optics has just announced that its ultra-popular Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO lens—one of the best and most affordable macro lenses on the market—is now available for Nikon’s Z and Canon’s EOS R full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Canon has announced its latest cinema camera, the EOS C300 Mark III. Contained within is a Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor with up to 16 stops of dynamic range “for superior HDR recording and low noise”. As one might expect, it has an EF lens mount on the front which means it works with Canon’s range of EF mount photography lenses, but also cinema lenses, including 2.0 and 1.33 anamorphic lenses.

World Press Photo just revealed the winners of its 2020 Photo Contest, and as they do every year, Spanish photography site Photolari has shared a detailed breakdown of the brands, systems, cameras, and sensors that won the day. Has the mirrorless revolution finally reached photojournalism? This year’s data shows the continued encroachment of Fujifilm, and

The Swiss camera brand ALPA has won a copyright infringement case in China against counterfeiters who copied the company’s designs. In its ruling, the Chinese court acknowledged that ALPA cameras are “objects of applied art” that are worthy of protection.

The lockdowns in place around the planet have all got us trying to figure out different ways to spend our time. For BuildYourCamera, though, it’s business as usual, making cameras from cardboard and paper.

Specs and photos of the upcoming DJI Mavic Air 2 have leaked, and while it doesn’t look to be a totally revolutionary update with any dynamite new features, the drone maker has made some key improvements where it counts. The leak comes from Drone Reviews & News, who have been covering these rumors accurately for

Shortly after IBC last year, an unknown China-based lens company called Dulens appeared, announcing a new 85mm f/2.0 lens. It’s a full-frame lens for DSLRs and they say it was designed by the same optical engineers behind the Kinefinity Mavo Prime range of cinema lenses. News Shooter got their hands on one to have a

Dora Goodman—maker of gorgeous hand-crafted custom cameras like these—is back with another 3D-printed, open-source camera that you can make at home. It’s called the SCURA, and it’s a curved pinhole camera that shoots 60x25mm panoramic images on regular 35mm film. The SCURA is the simplest camera yet from Goodman, whose previous creations like the Goodman
