Some photographers, though, still want to have a little more flexibility. Fujfilm X-Photographer Samuel Zeller […]

John Aldred

John Aldred

Eye-Fi unbrick their X2 cards to give us what we should have had in the first place

John Aldred

Several weeks ago, you may remember a post about Eye-Fi’s decision to “End of life” a bunch of their products. It’s not uncommon for companies to drop support for their older products, no matter how popular they may be.

Udi Tirosh

Ok, I can only describe this as sweet irony. The thief who stole $40,000 worth of photography gear from News Corp photographer at Rio olympics was caught by the same photographer he stole from – Brett Costello.
