Insta360’s X5: An Incremental or Revolutionary Upgrade?

Another year, another Insta360 release. While that sounds like an anti-climactic statement about the new X5, it's not meant to be.

Sony Needs to Dive Back Into High-End Point-and-Shoot Cameras Like the RX100

In my quest for a pocketable camera that doesn't also take phone calls, I've arrived at Camp Sony. While I wanted the camera that every tech writer calls one of the best point and shoots ever made, the RX100 VII, between stock and price, I actually arrived at its video focused cousin, the ZV-1. And it makes me wonder: Why don't we have more of these kinds of cameras?

Packing Your Camera Bag: 8 Bits of Gear to Help Get Great Photos

Whenever I pack my camera bag at the last minute for a shoot, I inevitably forget something. Whether that's a specific lens or sometimes even batteries or a memory card, it's always best to prepare. This video from Canadian photographer Justin Laurens shows you how to do just that.

Does Shooting on Film Instantly Improve Your Photos?

There's been a lot of (digital) ink spilled about the look and feel of film photos being vastly superior to their digital counterparts, and while that's a question up for debate, there's also something else I've noticed among my fellow film-shooting friends: the propensity to elevate objectively terrible photos as art.
