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. 

This laptop is gigantic.

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.  

Apple's latest M4 MacBook Air is here and I put it head to head against Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 7th Edition. Both laptops are exactly $1,000 and have almost identical specs, but one of them is better in almost every way. 

I've been a professional photographer for 23 years and I've never been interested in or attempted wildlife photography. All that changed when Sony sent over the a9 III and their brand-new  FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS Lens. This gear, and this genre of photography has renewed my love for photography, but it's also got me worried.  

I recently had the chance to use the Freefly Ember S2.5K, and at $25,000, this is hands down the most expensive camera I’ve ever worked with. But, surprisingly, for what it can do, I actually think it’s a bargain. 

Last week, I received an email from Saramonic.

I've never had the highest opinion of Hasselblad. 10-15 years ago I saw two of them completely fail on set. I saw them struggle with autofocus even in a bright environment. I've seen my cheap DSLR take better-looking images in low light.   When Hasselblad reached out and offered to send me the X2D 100C for review, I was skeptical.

A few days ago, DJI sent me their soon-to-be-released DJI Flip Drone. Although they probably explained everything about it in the emails they sent, I’ll admit—I didn’t read a word.

If you're in the market for a new, battery-powered strobe/flash, you've come to the right place. In this video/post we will compare the top 8 battery-powered monolights currently on the market.  

A couple of weeks ago, I released a detailed video reviewing the top five speed lights currently on the market. I had the opportunity to communicate directly with Neewer, Godox, Westcott, and Profoto about my review, and I've learned a lot. I'd like to correct a few errors I made. 

For the last week, I have been testing what I believe are the best speedlights on the market, and each one is sold in a variant for Sony, Nikon, and Canon.  

I've used Retouch4me software in the past and went on record saying it was officially the best set of Photoshop plugins I'd ever tested.

For over a decade, I've been eagerly anticipating the release of a full frame digital global shutter camera. I'm honestly surprised it took this long, but it's finally here in the new Sony a9 III.  

The Apple Vision Pro is, without a doubt, one of the most jaw-dropping pieces of technology I've ever tested. But, after the thrill wore off, I was left with an uncomfortable device that was just a little worse than my phone, laptop, and television. 

This is the story of "Earthrise," an image that changed the world, emerging from the unlikeliest of circumstances aboard a spacecraft plagued by fogged windows. 

DJI took everything about their beloved "DJI Mic" system and improved every major aspect with the all-new "DJI Mic 2." It's smaller, has better battery life, 32-bit float recording, direct Bluetooth connection to certain devices like your smartphone, and an all-new noise canceling feature. This is the mic we have all been waiting for.  

I used to think that creating virtual tours required thousands of dollars on gear and a subscription to expensive hosting platforms. In this video, I'm going to show you how to create one with a pocket-sized camera, a smartphone, and affordable software.  

I spent over $4,000 on the new M3 Max MacBook Pro. It's amazing, but after directly comparing it to my M1 MacBook Pro, I've realized it's probably not worth upgrading.  

I heard about the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 for Sony cameras almost two years ago, but never took the time to test the lens myself. Now that it's out for Nikon as well, I finally got a copy. After two weeks of shooting both stills and video with this lens, I regret how long I've taken to test it, because I believe It's my favorite lens of all time.  

3rd place wins any tutorial from the Fstoppers Store. 

Every computer company charges more for extra features, but Apple has created the perfect pricing scheme with the new M3 Macbook Pros to fool all of us into paying even more for a new laptop.  

USB-C, or USB Type-C, is a universal connectivity standard, but it does not have a set standard of data or charging speeds.

I watched the event live and was impressed by the cinematography the entire time. Never once did I guess anything was filmed on a phone.

This contest was supposed to end tomorrow but due to both Elia Locardi and I going on Vacation, we have pushed the deadline back a few days.

The all-new Bose QuietComfort Headphones really aren't that new at all. They are almost Identical to the QC35 headphones that came out in 2016. They are boring — perfectly boring — and that's why they are my favorite headphones ever.
