Im down in San Diego, about to go on a safari. And Ive got with me the Panasonic G9 II. This is the second generation in the G9 series from Panasonic. This is a micro-four-thirds camera, 25.2 megapixels, in the same housing as the S5 II. So natural for me when I grab ahold of […]
Apple just announced the latest version of their smartphone, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, and you might just be tempted to part with a grand. According to the hype, they are the strongest, fastest, and most capable camera phones yet. Oh, and finally, they got rid of the lighting port in favour of […]
Sony is blasting it big today, and along with their Burano Compact CineAlto, they also released a new control app. But it’s not only for the Burano; this app is also for the Sony FX3 and Sony FX30. Its best feature: it turns your “I already have one” phone into a high-end on-camera monitor. The […]
Now, here’s how you announce that you’re making cine primes. You don’t tease and drip-feed us every 6-12 months for a few years until the lineup’s complete.

Today, we are moving things up a notch by using LED lights for wedding photography. If you've ever photographed a wedding, there is a good chance you used a strobe to capture the event. Maybe it was a hot shoe strobe, or maybe you set up strobes on light stands in strategic places on the floor. But you can do better with LED video lights
