For you, me, and almost everybody else you and I know, cost is a consideration when purchasing new camera gear. For others, cost is a secondary issue—if not a non-issue altogether. The following products represent the priciest camera gear we offer at B&H, along with a few words about what makes them so special.
Luxury Camera Bodies
According to the rules, image sharpness and high pixel counts go hand-in-hand. Similarly, the dynamic range of the image—the volume of tone between the darkest shadows and brightest highlights—

When you’re looking for a new camera, the image sensor can end up just another bullet point in a list full of specs. It’s one of those things that’s ever-evolving in the digital landscape, promising us higher-quality images with the passing of every few years. In simplest terms, your image sensor converts light into an electronic signal. It’s the digital equivalent of film, and a critical part of any camera. Image sensors come in a variety of sizes and determine the specific qualities of your resolution, low-light performance, and dynamic

Anticipation for a replacement for the Canon 7D has been building for a long time and, this morning, the refresh finally arrived with the announcement of the 7D Mark II. When big camera news hits, you can read all about the new features and specifications on the Internet but, typically, you don't get to hear the thoughts and impressions of seasoned industry

Much of life as a professional photographer involves taking—indeed, our job description as photographers is that we take photos for a living. It is a beautiful way to make a living and see the world and all the richer, I have found, when we are able to create opportunities to give as well.

Not long ago, it seemed that if you wanted to focus your camera lens so everything beyond a certain distance was in focus, you would turn your focus ring to the "infinity" setting. The lens barrel had engraved or painted markings displaying distances in feet and/or meters and just past the highest digits was this symbol: ∞
One of the traditional hallmarks of a high-quality manual-focus lens was that the focus ring would stop precisely at the ∞ mark. This allowed photographers to set their lenses quickly so

Nikon’s announcement of the D810 was greeted with the anticipated buzz from the photography industry, and as you would expect, from within B&H as well. We asked a few of our in-house experts and enthusiasts what they thought was significant about the announcement.
“The thing that excites me and should excite all the ‘star-stacking’ night photographers is the brushed-over fact that this camera is the first camera to offer ‘unlimited

Making the decision to become a freelance photographer isn't one you make lightly. It requires commitment, planning, and strategy. One thing you can to do prepare yourself for such an undertaking is to attend the "Making a Living as an Emerging Photographer" lecture at the B&H Event Space on June 19th, 2014, at 4 p.m., which is being given by professional documentary photographer Diana Markosian. We had the opportunity to ask Markosian a few key questions on the topic

When he isn’t out shooting the muscled men of 300: Rise of an Empire, or heroes like Superman and the Watchmen, photographer Clay Enos takes the studio feel to the streets. Luckily, I was able to sit down with him and discuss this particular style.
How did you get this shot?
This one is a fun one. It was made in Uruguay, where we set up a studio outside. The young woman is Argentinean and this was completely random, she had no idea this was going to happen. It was a windy day and we couldn’t set up on

His portraits are infused with humor and drama, and his versatility is exemplary. I was fortunate enough to chat with him about his process, gear choices, and some

A friend of mine recently took a step into a brave new world of digital SLR photography when she shelved her point-and-shoot camera and purchased a Nikon D5300 and kit lens. The purchase was not without an amount of trepidation: confusing controls, buttons everywhere, multi-function interfaces, knobs, an interchangeable lens, and increased size.
For many customers, moving from your camera phone or

Next weekend, in Tarrytown, New York, the Headless Horseman will ride again through the storied Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. This time, however, the equestrian rider will not slip through the area unnoticed, as a small band of night photographers, led by Lance Keimig, will be on scene to capture the excitement through the dark of night.

In last week's "Guess the Gear" section of B&H Explora, we featured a cropped image of a relatively bare, orange spherical object. In the Comments section, our readers chimed in with their guesses of what the bulbous mystery might be. A fellow named Brian thought it was a “fishing bob.” Someone else, going by the name Gustavo, stated that it looked like a “mini portable speaker,” which is understandable, considering the free-form creativity that dominates today’s

Had I not arrived two hours prior to tip-off, I never would have seen what a jack-of-all-trades Brooklyn Nets photographer Adam Pantozzi is required to be. Pantozzi has been shooting for the Nets for almost ten years, and has moved with them from the Meadowlands, to Newark, and as of last year, to their new home at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues in Brooklyn. I went into the interview thinking I would be crunched under the basket, watching him photograph bruising rebounds and sweet three-pointers, but, as he quickly

Chris Buck is a photographer known mostly for his portraiture, in which he brings a unique and distinctive style to each of his images, and unsurprisingly, he’s brought this sense of invention to Instagram. Buck was kind enough to share his thoughts with us on what he once referred to as a “mix of photos of lunch, ironic landscapes, and Holga-filtered observations of everyday life.”
