Sigma has done it again, announcing several more new and exciting lenses for a variety of brands and mounts.

Less than a month after the Nikon Z and Canon R announcement, Panasonic, Leica, and Sigma are joining forces to propose a new full-frame mirrorless system based on the Leica L-mount. Unlike Canon and Nikon, the specifications seem superlative.

What should a photographer do when surrounded by thousands of dead fish, some of the fastest ocean tides in the world, and wild bears that want to eat anything in sight? You take a deep breath and attempt to capture the beautiful scenery. Welcome to Valdez!

Fujifilm's newest medium format bodies beat everyone else on price. But will they be good enough to convince us to buy them? At least one of them will be.

One of the best parts of owning a GoPro is the size and versatility. Now, they've added stabilization, and by the looks of it, you won't need a gimbal to shoot great footage. Casey Neistat goes mountain-biking to show us what's possible with the new GoPro Hero 7.

Tether Tools is well known for making tools that make photographer’s life more comfortable and better. You’ve probably seen their orange USB cables at least once in your life. Today, they’re introducing a new range of power solutions, ONsite Power.

Almost in time for devices such as the new GoPro Hero7 and DJI's latest drones, ProGrade Digital announced the availability of fast, UHS-II MicroSD cards and two different dual-card readers for professional workflow environments.

With the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, Apple introduced the ability to control the amount of blur in the background of its Portrait Mode photos. But what seems like a gimmicky tweak takes what was a gimmick and turns it into a pro feature.

Lowepro's number one selling collection, the ProTactic, has been redesigned for better gear access and protection.

As a company, Laowa has been making some really interesting and unique lenses. My personal favorite so far is the 12mm f/2.8 Zero-Distortion lens, although this new lens might just take its place.

Two trips in two weeks, and on the first day of each trip, I'd lost a camera. How did it all come about and where did it end?

While Canon and Nikon received both a lot of excitement and criticism for their recent entrances into the mirrorless market, Fujifilm also released the X-T3, the third iteration of their well-received line. This great video takes a first look at the new camera, and it seems like quite the winner.

There’s a number of camera bags on the market, and some meet the demands of their photographers and many don’t. Inrigo has created a camera system that puts the value of your kit at the center of its design while giving you the tools to keep your gear working through the most humid and wet places on the planet.

If you’re looking for a full frame compact camera, you can get a Sony RX1 series camera and it gets the job done. If you’re looking to get the job done in style, you can spend thousands more and get a Leica Q, but you’ll probably arrive at the same place. That about sums up the relationship between the MeFOTO RoadTrip Classic Leather Edition and the original RoadTrip Tripod.

Today I’ll be talking about the Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art lens for Sony E mount. As with my prior review of the 35mm version, I will be going over the topics that are relevant to me which are sharpness, focusing, bokeh, and usability.

In case you haven't heard, Apple announced some new devices about a week ago, one of which was the Apple Watch 4. One of the most striking things about the announcement was the intense new watch faces shown during the demo that varied from fire, to water, to colored clouds of dust.

With rapidly developing technology and new releases happening often, you can find a lot of good deals on used cameras. Today I'll introduce you to one that might just be the best your money can buy.

Patrick and I recently were recently planning a trip to Alaska, and Patrick became obsessed with a particular excursion: a plane ride that landed on a glacier on the top of Denali Mountain.

Today Sony announced their latest full-frame mirrorless lens, the FE 24mm f/1.4 G Master. Here's a hands-on preview of what to expect.

In between the Canon EOS R, the Nikon Z Series, and the Fujifilm X-T3, it's been a crazy and exciting few weeks for camera announcements, and you might be thinking of switching brands. This helpful video will give you three questions to ask yourself before you do that.

This has been the year of mirrorless! There have never been so many attractive options for DSLR shooters to make the transition as there are now. But should we?

The number one requirement of any camera is to produce good-quality images. It doesn't matter what other features a camera has if it produces poor-quality images. Tony Northrup recently posted a video comparing the image quality of the new Canon EOS R to several other cameras.

In this short video, Manny Ortiz gives a very quick introduction to three lighting modifiers that he uses in the studio — the beauty dish, octabox, and umbrella — and gives a short overview of their pros and cons.

Sigma shows no signs of slowing down. Now, it seems that the company will be announcing five new lenses ahead of Photokina, with some very interesting glass on the way.

We have all heard the old adage: buy cheap and buy twice. Here are five things you shouldn’t skimp on.

One of the most common questions photographers have is “should I upgrade my camera?” It’s right up there with “what lens I should buy” and “can I take selfies with this?” (That last one isn’t actually a common question.)

The Fujifilm X community of photographers are a loyal bunch, sometimes to a fault. It’s understandable, though, as Fujifilm provides consistent updates, even for cameras of previous generations. But recently, this seems to have become a crutch, and the X-T3 has inspired me to write this open letter.

Recently, Hasselblad released a 20-megapixel, 1-inch sensor on DJI's new Mavic 2 Pro, but in the grand scheme of things, Hasselblad may have a few bigger plans for the future when it comes to cameras that can fly. Having the ability to throw an A6D on a Matrice 600 Pro to capture 100-megapixel raw images has never been so easy.

What happens when seven different 85mm lenses are pitted against each other in a controlled test? I guarantee the results will shock you and make you reevaluate your spending habits on lenses.

Do you have a lens in your kit that delivers results every time? Is it your go-to lens or is it one that you don't use as much as you should?

Over the past few weeks, I had the opportunity to try out the all-new Sigma Art 85mm f/1.4. Priced lower than a majority of Sony lenses out there, this seems to be a good solution for anyone looking into new glass for their Sony body.

Details are still a little vague, but rumors regarding Panasonic's foray into the world of full-frame mirrorless are starting to surface. Given the success of their micro four thirds offerings, will Panasonic be the dark horse that finally presents something genuinely comparable to the Sony a7 range?

The Profoto B10 is here, and it's one of the most exciting advancements in lighting that I've seen in years.

Listen, I know what you're all thinking. "Whoa, it looks cool. The modeling light is even bi-color. But it costs how much?" I get it, but bear with me.

When it comes to photographic equipment, do you always get what you pay for? Starting out, is it worth breaking the bank to acquire the same glass used by the industry’s leading professionals? One photographer decided to compare the results of two lenses with the same focal length but drastically different price tags.

Back in April, Tamron announced their 28-75mm f/2.8 lens for the Sony E mount and the community anticipated something super sharp and refreshingly affordable. After high demand, more units hit the shelves next week and reviews so far suggest that Tamron has delivered.

Hot on the heels of his first look at Sigma 135mm f/1.8 lens, Manny Ortiz offers his first impressions of the recently released Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Sony E mount.

It's iPhone day! Here's what you need to know about the three new phones Apple released today.

Over the last decade or two, photography and videography technology has evolved drastically. Computers, monitors, servers, and other digital technology are no longer being left in an office or studio somewhere; they’re showing up on set, typically on a cart or table of some type. The INOVATIV Scout EVO 37 is an equipment cart built to meet the demands of professional digital photography and video.

Tilt-shift lenses are expensive, niche optical instruments, and as such, it can be a bit difficult to tell if you really need one or not. This quick and useful video will show you if you need one or if you can just stick to Photoshop for the times you want that effect.

Fujifilm is considered the leader in the APS-C mirrorless camera market with its renowned X-Trans sensor technology and high-quality lenses. In this video, you’ll find all the details about the latest X series model released by Fuji: the new X-T3.

With all the mirrorless noise of the last couple of weeks, it's easy to forget that Fujifilm's latest offering is about to hit the shelves. With its new sensor and upgraded video specs, the X-T3 could be about to lead the way in the world of APS-C cameras.

I was recently involved in a conversation via Facebook that centered around new camera gear and becoming a better photographer. The saying generally goes: “It’s not about the camera gear at all.” While I generally agree with this way of thinking, it’s not always accurate.

Medium format cameras can produce wildly impressive results, but they generally come at wildly high prices. Fuji may be about to change all that, as it seems they're preparing to release a medium format camera at a full frame price.

Welcome to the second part of Choosing a Lens for Visual Storytelling in Photography. This week, we’re going to look at the way in which lenses help you to express distance and intimacy and dive deeper into the story you want to tell.

Canon makes some pretty great cameras, though none are without their faults, including the company's recently announced entry into the full-frame mirrorless market. Kai Wong's first impressions of the Canon EOS R tell us about everything the camera does well and the mistakes Canon made with its release.

Sometimes, you have to leave old technology in the dust to move forward. With two of the biggest brands having just announced new mirrorless bodies, with it comes new lens mounts to carry these camera systems into the future.

After Sony, Canon, Nikon, and Olympus, it’s now Fuji’s turn to get access to all advanced Elinchrom features such as HS, HSS, and TTL.

After several years of Sony having its run of the mirrorless world, Canon and Nikon finally announced their full-frame mirrorless cameras. The initial sentiment may not be brilliant for both Canon and Nikon; however, I think Canon has done something absolutely incredible.
