If you use a Mac, you’ve probably hit this infuriating UI quirk: when you click "Upload," the macOS file picker displays microscopic thumbnails. Unlike a normal Finder window, there’s no slider to scale them up. Fortunately, there’s a permanent, 30-second fix. We just have to bypass the UI and tell macOS exactly what we want using Terminal.
Whether you want to record clean audio, or you want a quite room to enjoy music in, room treatment is imperative and usually extremely expensive. Costco just brought the price way down.
A while back, I made the mistake of comparing my old Polk TSi100 bookshelf speakers against much more expensive speakers. Somehow, my cheap speakers won. Now it's time for round two.
New AI software can now create incredibly accurate video from still images, and the Real Estate video market is about to change forever.
Most of us know that shooting in a flat log picture profile will give you the highest quality video footage but the workflow has always been too difficult to deal with. I've created Fstoppers' LUTs for Sony cameras and a shooting and editing workflow that changes everything.
AI powered photography software is getting so good that it may make us obsolete. This may have already happened with real estate photography.
After hearing that “no professional would ever use” a cheap laptop, I decided to test it. I edited an entire wedding, about 2,600 RAW files, on Apple’s budget MacBook Neo and compared it to a MacBook Pro. The twist: I let AI do almost everything.
I’ve been testing the Sony RX1R III and Leica Q3 for three weeks, and it’s got me wondering: who is buying this type of camera?
I’ve used a ton of wireless systems over the years, and consistently, Saramonic tends to deliver some of the best range and audio quality. What shocked me here is that this is their smallest and cheapest system yet at just $49, and somehow it still holds up.
After comparing the new MacBook Neo to Apple’s Air and Pro, a lot of people asked the obvious question: what about Windows?
Apple just released the incredibly cheap Macbook Neo for $599 and you might be wondering what it's capable of. In this video I'll put it head to head against the Macbook Air, and Macbook Pro.
I just tested a 50mm lens that cost $7000. I got to compare it directly to five other 50mm lenses starting at just $225. How do you think it stacked up?
For the past few weeks, I have been testing the Antigravity A1, the first drone I have ever used with a built in 360 degree camera. I expected a gimmick. What I got was something genuinely innovative surprisingly fun.
I know nothing about laser cutter/engravers, and when I offered one to review, I was excited to try. Would I be smart enough to learn how to use it? Would I be creative enough to find a use for it?
Thirty years ago, photo editing meant painting and airbrushing prints by hand. Then Photoshop arrived and wiped out most of those jobs.
Today, I put the incredibly small Saramonic Air up against the current industry favorite, the DJI Mic 2, to see how it really stacks up. The results will surprise you.
I was recently mailed what I believe is the world's most expensive digital picture frame, the InkPoster Tela 28.5. This is different than almost every other digital frame on the market, but can it possibly be worth $2400?
Long before I ever started Fstoppers, I was a professional real estate photographer. It was a great job, but the editing was mind-numbing. Fotello can now edit the photos for me... and the results are incredible.
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.
I've spent the last week going out three times a day with some serious glass, and I'm about to tell you something that might save you over ten grand.
A couple of weeks ago Sigma sent me their brand new 20–200mm f/3.5–6.3 DG DN Contemporary lens. At first glance, I thought it had to be for APS-C cameras because it was so small. When I realized this little thing was actually a full-frame superzoom that started at 20mm, It seemed too good to be true.
AI image generation has been incredible for the last year, but it was still extremely difficult to generate realistic images with specific subjects, people, or products. Google's new AI model can finally do it, marking the end of the commercial photography industry.
School portrait photographers are usually the joke of the photography industry, but did you know that many of them are profiting over a million dollars a year? Years ago, I tried to break into this industry, but it felt impossible. But now, after talking to Heather Crowder, it doesn't just seem possible, it seems easy.
A few months ago, Sony released the long-awaited Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens. It's fantastic, but it’s almost $2,000. This month, Viltrox released their own version, with identical specs for just $600, which is the same price as Sony's 1.8 variant. Let's test all three.
Looking at this camera announcement, I had to ask myself: Has Sony completely lost their minds?
Destin at Smarter Every Day recently released a brutally honest video about attempting and failing to make a simple product in the USA after 4 years. Most people don't understand why it's so hard, and what's wrong with our manufacturing. Let's take a deeper look.
Panasonic’s new 24-60mm f/2.8 lens is better than the 24-70mm f/2.8... and $800 cheaper?
Today, Panasonic launched the new Lumix S1 II mirrorless camera. I'm convinced this would be the best hybrid video camera on the market if it didn't have one major flaw.
Over 20 years ago, when I started my professional photography career, I shot exclusively with Nikon. Back then, I had zero intention of switching brands, but eventually I was forced to.
On April 18th, Trump showed a doctored picture of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckle's with "MS-13" tattooed on them. At the time I thought this story was greatly exaggerated, but today, an interview with Trump came out that changed everything.
A few weeks ago, I tested the Saramonic Ultra against the Rode Wireless Pro and DJI Mic 2 — and to my surprise, the Ultra held its own, even outperforming in a few key areas. But what if you need something more professional? The Saramonic K9 is the answer.
