This is what I really like about the new Ricoh Theta S (and its Theta predecessors): The camera represents a new way of thinking about photographs.
At the launch party in New York City, Ricoh Imaging Americas president Jim Malcolm opened the festivities by stating that the Theta is on the forefront of a “visual revolution.” It might sound like some kind of marketing catch phrase, but I really believe that the Ricoh Theta team is

In 2012, Sigma announced that it would restructure its lens lineup into three new categories: Contemporary, Art, and Sports. Loosely, the Contemporary lenses are feature-heavy zooms designed for versatility, the Sports are telephoto lenses for action capture, and the Art are large-aperture primes with sophisticated optics. Not just a rebranding of its existing lenses, this decision heralded the beginning of a new effort to create first-rate and, in some cases, unique optics to compete with the professional photographic lenses of other major

Oh, how my heart warms when Nikon rolls out a new DX lens! Welcome to my smaller-sensor world, NIKKOR AF-S DX 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR! The marketing propaganda from the big brands attempts to drive the masses to full-frame cameras, so it is nice when said big brands make really nice glass for those of us embracing APS-C sensor cameras.
What is the new NIKKOR 16-80mm lens and where does it fit into the DX lens family? That is an easy question to

I will admit it… I went into this project trying to break cameras. As I’ve written many times before, I love “tough” point-and-shoot cameras simply because they provide the kind of durability that all of your gear should offer; they can be handled roughly, treated poorly, and still perform their duties. More so, they can be submerged and shoot underwater and withstand dust, drops, and crushes, all to a certain degree. I wanted to find what that degree was and also test their image quality and experiment with their various modes and

On my recent trip to Mexico, I knew I would be spending a lot of time in and around water. I had plans to snorkel in reefs and cenotes, cliff dive, kayak, and just hang poolside and at the beach. I also knew I would be bringing a good deal of camera gear and, even though much of that gear was waterproof, I wanted a bag to provide extra protection for the cameras, as well as keep non-photo items—phone, wallet, keys, maps, and money—safe and dry.

It seems that, this time, Sony has made a camera that will make even the most steadfast DSLR shooters pause and consider mirrorless cameras, if only for a second. That, in itself, makes the a7RII a huge accomplishment and makes me extremely lucky for the opportunity to take it out for a test drive.
I was given just one weekend with the a7RII, which frankly is not enough time to truly delve into all of the camera’s nuances, so I focused on

The usual cameras that come through the B&H offices are what you would expect: DSLRs, long zoom point-and-shoots, mirrorless, etc... But every once in a while a company will come by with something completely different. The Olympus Air A01 is one of these cameras and, luckily, after spending a weekend with it I found there was a lot to enjoy about its unique lens-style design, once you get past the initial setup and controls, that is.
Lens-style cameras are fairly new
