Even for us hybrid guys, sometimes a dedicated camcorder is the better option -- especially when it's the Z90 with its punching-way-above-its-weight-class, one inch sensor with phase detect hybrid autofocus lifted directly from the Sony RX10 Mark IV.
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.
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...
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 a9 for the rest of us, arguably the best hybrid on the market. Then again...
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...
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. Yet here I am proclaiming it the best street photography combo I've ever used. How is that even possible? AF performance, optical performance, IBIS, dynamic range, sparkling sensor for stills and vids, that's how.
