Polaroid SX-70 vs Canon Rebel T5 (1200D) – the state of camera technology

John Aldred

I like shooting with older, more limited cameras. There’s less for me to think about, it’s more relaxing. I get more selective in my shots when it costs money every time I hit the shutter. But it does make you think just how far the cameras in our hands have changed today from what they […]

This new 48MP global shutter full frame sensor shoots 8K video at up to 30fps

Nikon denies it is cutting 1,000 jobs in Japan, then announces 1,000 job cuts in Japan

John Aldred
