Photoshoot and Beyond
I don’t know how that Samsung can look at us with a straight face and say everything is just fine with its camera division when it doesn’t bring a single camera to CES 2016. After the lack of cameras shown (or even discussed) at its press conference, I went to the Samsung booth in hopes […]
Canon didn’t have much new to show at CES 2016; however, it still had a solid presence. Canon also did a good job of documenting its own presence on its YouTube channel. I’ve embedded its CES 2016 YouTube videos in this post for a look into what was happening at its booth. Copyright/DMCA Notice: The RSS […]
Kodak is betting on the rise on an analog renaissance with its new Super 8 film camera for making motion pictures that it announced at CES 2016. The Kodak Super 8 uses 50′ Kodak film cartridges. When you purchase the film you will be buying the film, processing and digital transfer up front. The lab will […]

B&H has just dropped prices on the DJI Phantom 3. The Phantom 3 Advanced dropped from $999 to $799. The Phantom 3 Standard dropped from $699 to $499. That’s really some impressive pricing on such a well-equipped drone – even if it is “only” 1080p. The Phantom 3 4K is now $799. This may be […]
4K is here to stay and the cameras just keep getting more compact and affordable. Panasonic dropped a couple new pocket cams (the ZS100 and ZS60) at CES 2016 that are cheaper alternatives to Sony’s vaunted RX100 IV. The Panasonic Lumix ZS100 features a 1-inch sensor (like the Sony RX100 IV) and offers still image capture at […]

It offers an impressive 200-800mm equivalent zoom range and has some neat tricks up its sleeve on the body’s build. The first thing I noticed about the lens is how much smaller it is […]
