Prior to September 2008, the only options for owners of Konica Minolta Alpha-mount lenses were APS-C DSLRs like Sony's DSLR-A700 (Sony acquired KM's camera business in 2006).

Then came the DSLR-A900, Sony's first full-frame DSLR, which had an expansive feature set for the relatively low price of $3000... more

A new Kickstarter campaign is seeking funds for Solarcan, a single-use pinhole camera that's housed in a tall soda can. This long-exposure camera is intended to capture the sun's path over the course of several days onto a 5x7 piece of Ilford Pearl photographic paper. Users then remove the top of the can using a can opener and 'develop' the film using a smartphone app.

With an all-new and world's first stacked CMOS full-frame sensor, the Sony a9 looks to be a force to be reckoned with. Check out our first look video to get yourself up to speed on Sony's latest sports shooter in our brief first look video.

We got some additional time with the camera, and captured some through-the-viewfinder video showing the new AF system in action. We start off showing Lock-On: Flexible Spot M in action, which does a seemingly improved job of sticking to our intended... more

Step aside awesome Microsoft Surface Studio commercial, this new paint ad is officially the coolest use of robotic filming techniques and practical effects we have ever seen. As you watch this video, keep in mind: none of this is CGI.

Announced alongside the a9 is an accessory that should excite existing E-mount camera owners, particularly videographers: the NPA-MQZ1K Multi-Battery Adaptor Kit. It comes with two of the new NP-FZ100 batteries and has space for another two. The kit not only works as a charging station for up to four Z type batteries, but also has a dummy battery that allows it to be used as an external power pack.

The unit is compatible not only with the a9 but also with the a7, a7R, a7S, a7 II,... more

The last 24 hours were packed full of gear announcements, and we’re even done. In addition to their new Instax camera and SQUARE film, Fujifilm also revealed two new lenses for the mirrorless medium format GFX 50s, updated their GFX roadmap, and teased a firmware update for the MF shooter.

First things first: the new lenses.

Its been said that in 2017, everyone is a photographer, and from the unrelenting firehose of pictures that fill every inch of digital real estate and social media these days, I can see why folks would think that.

Of course just taking a picture doesnt make you a photographer any more than microwaving a bag of popcorn makes you a chef. So while everyone can (and does) take pictures, actual photographers are a rarer breed.

Burn it. Burn it all. Vancouver, 1997.

Hands on with the Sony a9 (ILCE-9)

We got a chance to get our hands on the Sony alpha 9 immediately after its announcement. Our first reaction? Continuous shooting with full time live view isn't a gimmick: you can follow the action without any interruption. 

This is an entirely different beast compared to the a6500, which only had 8 fps live view during continuous... more
