Medium-format digital photography is expensive. There’s no two ways around it. Digital large format isn’t even really a thing outside of scanning backs, either. But we are able to emulate the look with smaller sensor cameras. For large format, we’ve got the “Brenizer Method“. For medium format, we’ve got the Fotodiox RhinoCam Vertex (buy here). […]

Earlier this year, Meta launched its Twitter (now X) competitor called Threads. It immediately became a hit, but then it caused quite a stir when people figured out they couldn't delete their account without deleting Instagram, too. But it's being sorted out now.

If you've been around long enough, you probably remember that the LED lighting revolution started with LED panels. Then came the big LED COBs and the LED tubes. It's nice to see that the panels are getting a renaissance, and it's especially interesting to look at the new PavoSlim line from Nanlite.

Canon has introduced a game-changer when it comes to shooting VR 180 video (virtual reality).

Combined with the powerhouse hybrid mirrorless camera body, the Canon EOS R5c (here), the result is incredibly […]
