Sony Z90: When an a7 III or GH5 Won't Do?

Sony Z90: When an a7 III or GH5 Won't Do?
Jul 15, 2018

Leica CL and TL2: Daring, Risky, Necessary, Expensive - and They Make Me Happy

Leica CL and TL2: Daring, Risky, Necessary, Expensive - and They Make Me Happy
Jun 19, 2018

For most of us the word "Leica" conjures up the heritage and images of legendary street photographers; irrelevance; or a big hole (the one in our bank account or on our credit card statement). But I loved Leica's controversial CL, even more daring TL2 and a pile of Leica glass.

Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K: The ONE Thing (Aside from All The Other Things)
Apr 12, 2018

It's got a face only a mother could love (reasonable people can disagree), but Blackmagic's just-announced and long-awaited 4K successor to their Pocket Cinema Camera is still fascinating. Here's why -- along with the ONE thing I wish they'd included...

After testing the X1D, we were invited to the Hasselblad Experience Studio in NoHo, New York City. Very cool. And product manager Dan Wang is pretty cool, too...

Hasselblad X1D: Bold, Beautiful, Flawed, Fixable (Episode 3, "The X1D Has Me Thinking")
Mar 14, 2018

I think the Hasselblad X1D is the most important Hasselblad since the company launched the 500 C back in 1957, and in fact the most important medium format camera of the last 60 years, period. In this video, I tell you exactly why; where it stands at the moment, and what it needs to be successful.

The X1D is a critical -- THE critical -- camera for Hasselblad, legendary medium format manufacturer. But what IS medium format in 2018? Certainly not what it was when medium format was king...

Sony A7R III with FE Distagon 35/1.4: Best Street Photography Combo I've Ever Used (for now)
Feb 18, 2018

Was back in the city just over a week ago, roaming some of my favorite neighborhoods with what I've called the best "medium format" camera of 2017, the a7R III.

AF performance, optical performance, IBIS, dynamic range, sparkling sensor for stills and vids, that's how.
