If you've tried to buy a Fujifilm X100VI or Ricoh GR IV in the past year, you already know the frustration. These cameras aren't just hard to find; they're nearly impossible to buy at retail price without waiting months or entering lotteries. The X100VI has been plagued by shortages since its launch, and the GR IV, officially launched on August 20, 2025, immediately followed the same pattern despite its significantly higher price tag.

One of the things I was most excited about when I saw the launch of the Fujifilm X100VI was the new color film simulation Reala Ace. I was keen to find out how this new film sim compares to other favorites on X Series cameras.

Every photographer makes decisions about file formats constantly, yet most of us operate on habit, hearsay, or whatever our camera defaulted to when we first pulled it out of the box. The problem is that choosing the wrong format at the wrong stage of your workflow can quietly destroy your editing flexibility, balloon your storage needs, break compatibility with clients and labs, or degrade your images in ways you won't notice until it's too late. This guide breaks down what each major format actually does under the hood, what it preserves, what it throws away, and when you should reach for each one across capture, editing, delivery, and long-term archiving.

A BBC videographer had a terrifying few minutes as a hungry and aggressive polar bear attempted to break through the glass pod protecting him from certain death.

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? 

Late last year, Really Nice Images released their latest Lightroom preset pack, All Films 5. I've spent the last couple of months experimenting with it and will share my experience with it so far. I'll dig into the flagship features of creative profiles, native fading, and highlight protection to see if they are all they're cracked up to be. 

For the past six months, I've had the opportunity to thoroughly test the Hasselblad XCD 35–100 E — Hasselblad's brand-new all-around zoom lens. With this lens, I've photographed commercial campaigns for Hasselblad, documented a family wedding high up in the Alps, and captured my photo workshop in southern Spain — all without changing the lens even once. And honestly: the 35–100 E has impressed me in every single situation.

Choosing the right 50mm lens can dramatically impact both image quality and day-to-day usability. The Canon RF 50mm f/1.4 L VCM lens has entered the scene promising high-end performance in a lighter package, raising questions about whether it's worth replacing the heavier but highly respected RF 50mm f/1.2 L.

A single-lens travel setup sounds simple until you try to cover 25mm through 200mm without hating the compromises. The Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 aims straight at that problem, and the details in this review land right where your real-world shooting gets messy.

The Nikon Z8 is arguably the most capable camera for the price on the market right now, able to tackle just about any photo or video need and then some. Is it the best camera you can buy right now? This great video review takes a look at the performance and image quality it offers.

Wireless charging usually involves a trade-off. You get the convenience of simply dropping your phone onto a pad, but you sacrifice speed. MagSafe made things better with magnetic alignment, but even at 15 W, it felt like a compromise compared to plugging in a cable. The new Qi2.2 standard changes that equation, and Anker's Prime Wireless Charging Station represents one of the most compelling implementations I've used. At $149.99, this isn't an impulse purchase. But after a week of daily use charging my iPhone 17 Pro Max, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch Ultra 3, I'm convinced the price is justified for anyone who values both speed and portability in their charging setup.

Following on from my article about the seven elements of art and how they can perfect your photography, I thought I would share a summary of the principles of art. Knowing how they work can make all the difference to how well your compositions work.

It was the best of tripods, it was an even better tripod. This is why I ended up upgrading what I was already very pleased with to what I think is the best tripod my money could buy.

Thanks to the popularity of mini touchscreen monitors, these little screens are more available and affordable than ever. For this reason, now might be a good time for photographers to add one to their existing setup.

It may sound bold, but I do believe Leica M-mount lenses are making a quiet resurgence, not just among loyal Leica shooters, but across the broader mirrorless world. A statement like that probably needs some explanation, so hear me out.

If you look at your camera, you will find a button to change the white balance. You can choose either auto white balance or one of the other predefined settings. But it is also possible to set the color temperature itself. Is there a difference between color temperature and white balance?

Highlight control in Lightroom is where a clean edit either holds together or falls apart. If skies keep turning chalky or faces get shiny fast, the fix is often less about contrast and more about what you do with the brightest tones.
