DSLR Cameras
Nikon has been making moves lately to appeal to the video audience, with the spectacular D850 and its UHD 4K video and 8K time-lapse mode allowing multimedia productions to create stellar video and photos. Today, they are taking things a step further with the D850 Filmmaker’s Kit, a specially put together bundle that includes all the critical components needed to capture cinematic video. Of course, the full-frame 45.7MP D850 DSLR is at the center
I am not a stranger to large or heavy camera systems. For more than two decades, I seldom went on assignment with anything less than two Nikon F3 film cameras with motor drives, a third F3 with a dedicated Polaroid back, and anywhere from three to twelve lenses. And if that wasn’t enough fire power, I also had comparably equipped medium-format and 4 x 5" camera systems for projects that demanded more than my Nikons could deliver.

Lensbaby has always been good at creating unique and interesting lenses, and the Burnside 35mm f/2.8 is merely a continuation of that tradition, with its distinct swirly bokeh and dual-aperture design for controllable vignetting.

When the megapixel counts started to stabilize at about 24MP, many of us thought the days of constant one-upmanship in camera resolution was just about over. Well, apparently, they were just on a break because, in the past few years, we have seen the release of
After working with a combination of the Sony a7R II and a7S II for years, switching out as the scenario dictated, I was surprised by how well the a9 managed to replace both of them as the most used camera in my arsenal. When I first reviewed the a9, when it was released, I was impressed with its performance, but a sports camera isn’t exactly the primary thing on my list when most of my photos are of food and the other half of my work

Although he has spent most of his career riding the rollercoaster of emotion that comes with documenting the human condition, Doug Menuez is pragmatic about his camera gear. “I’m not a fetishist about a camera, I’m not a romantic typically,” he says. “It’s a practical thing for me.” Yet this unflappable attitude recently met its match when Menuez got his hands on a Leica SL. “As soon as I learned about it I thought it might be perfect,” he says. “Once I tried it, I was immediately sure.”

In 1989, a flashy young tennis star named Andre Agassi began marketing cameras under the slogan: “Image is everything.” While Agassi’s now-iconic Canon Rebel campaign helped make a generation of weekend warriors look like savvy professionals, there is one aspect of the industry that his motto has yet to influence: camera bags. Seriously. Why is it so hard to find a functional camera bag that doesn’t look or feel terrible?

When you think of photography accessories, of what do you think? Cameras? Of course, they’re not. Lenses? No, too integral. Tripods? I feel they are their own item, not an accessory. Flashes? I say yes, because what good is a flash without a camera, but Nikon lists flashes as their own category, not an accessory. Can we all just agree that straps and caps are accessories and if not, how do you define an accessory?
Speedlights
