Canon put 7K open gate raw, 4K at 120p without a crop, and dual-base ISO into the EOS C50, a compact cinema body that’s meant to work fast. If you balance scripted projects with social deliverables or need clean high frame rates without changing your lens plan, this release is worth a look.

The Fujifilm X-E5 looks like a fantastic option on paper, essentially being a Fujifilm X100VI with interchangeable lenses. Sadly, my initial experience with the Fujifilm X-E5 left me confused by some of their design choices.

This affordable 85mm portrait prime changes your options with a compact build, a bright f/2 aperture, and performance that holds up on high-resolution bodies. If you photograph people or detail-rich scenes, the mix of sharpness, subject separation, and modern autofocus gives you a practical tool without the premium price tag.

Burnout shows up quietly and then sticks around. It blunts creative drive and drags down the workday long before you notice the slide.

Portkeys has introduced the LH5C, a compact 5.4-inch on-camera monitor with HDMI input/output and wired camera control. The monitor runs the company’s MOVNORM OS and includes a full set of monitoring tools aimed at solo operators and small crews, costing just $199.

Canon has introduced the Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM, a standard-view prime built for its RF mount cameras. The lens aims to deliver fast-aperture performance in a smaller package than typical f/1.2 options, targeting everyday stills and video work on both full frame and APS-C RF bodies.

Canon has introduced the EOS R6 Mark III, a 32.5-megapixel full frame mirrorless body aimed at hybrid shooters who split their time between stills and video. It brings a new sensor, faster burst rates with a pre-capture mode, and a broader video feature set, including 7K raw options and 4K at up to 119.9p. It sits in the same do-everything slot as previous 6-series models, but with more headroom for advanced work.

Film is having another moment. Thrift stores are lighter on old SLRs than they used to be; teenagers are loading rolls their grandparents forgot about; family closets keep surrendering shoeboxes that smell like basements, cedar, and Kodachrome. If you want those images to live again—on phones, on walls, in books—you don’t need a museum-grade scanner or a lab behind a glass wall. You need a steady hand, a repeatable rhythm, and a machine that shows up every time. For me, that’s the Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner.

Here is how to load RED LUTs into your Nikon ZR.

Photography has been revolutionized not just by cameras, but by the glass in front of them. While cameras capture the image, it's the lens that creates it: shaping light, defining character, and determining what's even possible to photograph. These five lenses didn't just improve image quality; they fundamentally transformed what photographers could do, how they could do it, and who could afford to do it.

City photos either look flat or they pull you in. Light, timing, and intent change how a familiar street reads when you want images that stand out in a feed stuffed with near-duplicates.

Do you find yourself constantly striving for the unattainable perfect shot, or does friction in your creative process hold you back? Let's discuss three profound lessons that Greg learned this year that can simplify your workflow and help you become a much happier photographer.

Wide zooms change how you work in tight streets, small rooms, and fast video setups. This matchup pits the new Tamron 16–30mm f/2.8 against Sony’s compact 16–25mm f/2.8 to see where you gain range, sharpness, and control without bloating the kit.

Compact bodies change how long you stay out and how quickly you respond to action. The Fujifilm X-M5 mirrorless camera pushes you to chase color and mood straight out of the camera, which matters when you want results without a heavy edit session.

Photoshop 2026 brings a sharp split between standard tools and cloud-powered premium features that burn credits. If you edit daily and rely on selection, removal, and upscaling, the mix of native models, partner models, and a new “how many credits do I have left?” mindset changes how you plan edits.

DxO has been very active this year, and this month will not be an exception. The company is pumping out new, enhanced versions of three of its most popular photo-editing applications today.

Your fancy camera is useless if your display’s colors aren’t accurate. For all you know, you might be looking at an entirely different image. Here’s how the new entry-level Datacolor Spyder Express has come to meet you halfway.

Sony's G Master lenses are spectacular, but they'll empty your wallet quickly. Many G Master lenses cost $2,000 or more, with flagship zooms pushing $3,000 or beyond. The good news? Third party manufacturers and Sony's own value-focused designs have created professional grade optics at prices that seemed impossible just years ago.

You may be reaching for the wrong glass to capture those stunning landscapes, trading intentional composition for uninspired vastness. Let's discuss why swapping out your go-to wide angle lens for a telephoto or mid-range lens could be the secret to creating truly compelling, focused photography.

All-in-one zooms live or die by trade-offs, and stretching to 25mm on the wide end without giving up too much elsewhere is a big ask. If you travel light or want a single lens for walkaround work, this one targets that with a wider start, faster focus, and smarter controls than the first-gen version.

For the last month, I’ve been deep in the world of ultra-telephoto lenses for Sony full-frame cameras, testing some of the most advanced glass money can buy. But can Panasonic's new 100–500mm f/5–7.1 lens, for a fraction of the price, compete? Surprisingly, it can. 

Let’s discuss crucial errors even experienced photographers make, covering the importance of shooting in bad weather, properly setting shutter speed to optimize ISO, ensuring pin-sharp focus and depth of field, using negative exposure compensation to prevent blown highlights in backlit scenes, and much more.

Strong gear and clever lighting still fall flat when composition is weak. Real estate work lives or dies on how well you guide attention, manage geometry, and shape the way a space feels.

You’re looking for a compact ultra-wide zoom that stays small, takes front filters, and still promises strong sharpness. If you shoot interiors, real estate, or city nights, take a look at this option.

Concerts force you to work in low light with unpredictable motion and strict seating, which makes reach, stability, and restraint matter more than price. This video shows how a cheap tele zoom can handle a concert and still deliver lifelike results that many photographers assume require pro glass.
