I’m a photographer who is in no way wedded to any particular aspect ratio. I will trim my images to whatever I consider suits them best, whether or not they fall to one of the recognized ratios or some non-integer ratio.

But, I resent losing pixels. In particular, square format images have to be sliced out of an already elongated 3:2 ratio image — 1/3 of the sensor’s pixels having to be ditched.

A few years ago, I decided that I would like to get into photography. So, I did some research and bought a fairly expensive DSLR camera. I also read lots of articles and books on how to take great pictures. The results were quite impressive. I was finally taking really good photographs.

This can be achieved anywhere from their work place, home, or anywhere where they like to spend their time. However, you can also... more

I have these utopic dreams of a perfect camera. I want a camera that makes photos that are ultra-sharp, yet soft, affordable, yet fits in my front pocket, yet has tons of megapixels, yet can zoom to see anything but wide enough to shoot interiors.

I want a camera that has unlimited dynamic range, that operates like a film camera (with the convenience of digital).

VR is growing fast, and companies like GoPro don’t want to be left in the dust. A single GoPro can’t shoot 360 video, and so far multi-GoPro 360 rigs are all third party. Well, no more. Today we get to meet the Omni: GoPro’s official VR camera rig.

Like the third-party and 3D-printed DIY options out there, the Omni uses multiple GoPro cameras (in this case six... more

Whoa. This is pretty big if it’s true: a new report says that Sony is working on a new camera called the A9. It’s supposedly DSLR-like in its size and will feature unlimited RAW burst shooting.
