/ Categories: Rumors, Canon Mirrorless CanonRumors has released a new rumor that Canon is coming out with an APS-C camera tailored to vloggers. They were told that it's similar to the M6 Mark II (so I would imagine no EVF) and features a new type of articulating LCD. It would seem strange to see a new type of LCD on this camera since Canon's usual fully articulating LCD is most suited for video, versus photography. An LCD that flips up (similar to the ...

BY SPENCER COX A few times a year, Nikon tends to go wild and put nearly all their current products on sale. Now is one of those times, with a big sale that lasts until May 29. Which deals are worthwhile and which ones are duds? I’ll go through each product one by one below. One thing to keep in mind is that every deal is a good deal if you were already planning to buy the lens or camera at full price. When I call something a bad deal, it doesn’t mean you should avoid the product, just that I wish Nikon had given a steeper discount. Table of Contents |

The latest firmware updates for the RF-mount Cinema EOS camera give filmmakers even more flexibility with the addition of a range of features including Cinema RAW Light, XF-AVC proxy recording and two more Custom Picture profiles. The Canon EOS C70 is one of the smallest and lightest cameras in Canon’s Cinema EOS range, but while it’s compact in size, it's big on features – and that versatility has been extended further with the latest firmware update. |

BY ALEX COLEMAN DJI has officially launched the Mini 3 Pro, a drone that features high-end and novel capabilities, like 4K60 video, up to 47 minutes of flight time, and APAS 4.0 obstacle detection and avoidance. Importantly, the Mini 3 Pro with the Intelligent Flight Battery still comes in at under 250g. For my use of drones, however, image quality is the biggest factor – does the Mini 3 Pro deliver? In this first look, I’ll share the full details of the Mini 3 Pro, as well as some real-world sample photos from my hands-on time with DJI’s newest drone. |

If you're looking for a new DSLR camera then these are some of the best options out there from Canon, Nikon and Sony Most of us are happy to use our smartphones for day-to-day photography but if you want something a bit more substantial then you're going to need a dedicated camera. The good news is that a decent camera will last you for quite a few years - but the bad news is that it can be tough to know where to start. Either you're going to want to go whole-hog and pick up a DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) or you'll be happy with a smaller point-and-shoot. The real thing to look for is interchangeable lenses because these will give you the best shot. Even if you don't want to deep dive into settings like ISO or White Balance, thes ... Read more » |

BY JASON POLAK Quick question: what’s more complicated, buying a house or getting married? Answer: neither, it’s buying a camera! That’s right, and I wrote this guide because if you don’t go about it right, then one day you’ll realize you’ve made a horrible mistake and you’ll give up photography. Okay, that could be an exaggeration. The truth is, buying a camera is quite easy once you know a few essential details. What to Look for in a CameraPeople say all cameras are good these days, and that’s definitely more true than it’s ever been. Pretty much any camera made in the last few years can produce amazing pictures, and if you had to use a random camera, chances are you could make it work. |

BY SPENCER COX I remember when I was starting out in photography how I looked upon the Nikon D3X in wonder. I could never afford it, but 24 megapixels! Can you imagine? Of course, some medium format cameras at the time had more, but they were as far away from me as the moon. Now 24 megapixels is the baseline instead of an expensive maximum. 45, 60, and even 100 megapixels are within reach at lower prices than ever, and the trend isn’t really slowing down. Even so, for 99% of photographers, pixel counts are high enough at this point. Maybe they have been for a while. As Jason recently wrote, a 50 megapixel camera is capable of about a 32×48” print (AKA 1.2 meters wide) without apparent pixelation for a typical viewe ... Read more » |

The lens that I’ve been using the longest as a photographer is the Nikon 105mm f/2.8G Macro – the F-mount lens, that is. Nikon has been selling it since 2006, and in that time it’s gained a lofty reputation (not just among macro photographers, either). Today, I’m reviewing it in full. |

Each year, we take a look at the data and rentals we were able to provide for our customer base and use it to get some perspective on where the industry might be heading.

Written by Gordon LaingThe Canon EOS R5C is a hybrid cinema camera based on the EOS R5 and aimed at pro videographers, resolving many of the frustrations of the original model. Announced in January 2022, the EOS R5C arrives roughly two years after the original R5 was first officially teased, and costs around $4500 or pounds – so you’re paying a 300 pound or $600 premium over the R5. As you all know by now, everyone loved the movie quality of the R5, especially 4k HQ, 4k 120 and 8k RAW, but no-one liked the fact it would overheat in any of those modes and require a full shutdown to properly cool down. Some found ways to work-around it, but others wished for a version with sufficient heat management to make it practical for their needs. And that’s where the R5C comes in, at first glance an R5 with the screen pus ... Read more » |
