Unless you've been living under a rock, there's no doubt that you've heard all of the speculation surrounding Olympus and its camera division. Depending on who, or what you believed, Olympus was either about to flourish or sink without a trace.
Fujifilm has released some outstanding cameras over the last few years, and they have quite rightly cemented their place in the hearts of photographers everywhere. Fujifilm offers both APS-C and Medium Format cameras that are more than capable of helping photographers create images that will make jaws drop.
Micro Four thirds cameras probably aren't the first choice on a list of cameras that astrophotographers generally look at. The small sensor size, and general feelings that high ISO performance isn't good enough usually stop photographers from looking at these cameras, but they are missing out.
Canon is really going to town with lenses for its new RF mount. Since the launch of the Canon EOS R and the EOS RP, we have seen quite a few RF Mount lenses either teased or released, and we have seen a fair few that have had patents filed for them.
It seems like we can't go a single day without hearing that one of the major camera companies is in such bad shape that they are thinking about closing their doors forever. The company in question this time is none other than Olympus.

I made this photo project by producing a series of imaginary pictures in which human beings are distractedly immersed in a reality that is likely to be possible, where the symbols of civilization are swallowed by vegetation.
It has been just over a year since the Canon EOS R arrived on the Mirrorless camera scene. While it may have been lacking features that many expected, over the last 13 months, the EOS R has been updated to the point where it has become a very competent camera.
If you're the owner of either the Panasonic S1 or S1R, we have got some news for you that will make you smile from ear to ear. One thing that has really been holding the system back is the lack of lenses.
Comic Con New York 2019 has passed, but cosplay never stops. Pictures of cosplayers in their favorite superhero (or supervillain) attire from this year’s NYCC are still surfacing on the Internet.
Earlier today, Olympus announced their new OMD EM5 Mk III camera with a fair amount of new tech. There's also some recycled tech inside that comes from their higher-end cameras. There are some of you out there that will deny Olympus and Micro Four Thirds their rights to the camera market, but I'd disagree with you.
Historically, the Leica M6 has been synonymous with style and prestige. But while it certainly delivers on being a quality build, it doesn't mean it will always take quality photographs - that's the job of the person using it.
If you're fortunate enough to own any of the Medium Format cameras that Fujifilm has released to the market, you'll know that you have also been blessed with some genuinely fantastic lenses. Fujifilm GF lenses are some of the best that we have used.
If there is an accessory that's harder to keep up with lens caps, then I'm not sure I want it. Lens caps are, of course, super important. They protect the front element of our expensive lenses from debris like dust, dirt, and sand, and they do a mighty fine job of protecting them from scratches when in storage.
Today Capture One users can pick up the Reverie style pack that was done with Lukas Pitatek, the founder of LOOKSLIKEFILM. The community known for making photographers who've never loaded a roll of Tri-X think that their images look like film is extending their wealth of knowledge via this pack for a cool $39.
Canon has just announced a new Mirrorless camera that features their M Mount. The Canon M200 is billed as a non-intimidating camera for experienced photographers and for photographers looking to step up from smartphones.
The Micro Four Thirds system doesn't seem to get much love these days, and that's a shame. This platform is a firm favorite with many thanks to the smaller size of M4/3 cameras and their overall performance.
In the past, taking hard drives out into the field was always a little scary as they generally do not like to be bumped around, but SSDs have solved this problem. Today, LaCie has announced a new line of SSDs that are ready for drops, water and dust, and just about any abuse you can throw at them.

If you're a Leica film photographer already, then you most likely agree with this statement. Though the Canon, Nikon, and Pentax users are probably going to be salty here, there is very little use for a film SLR in the 35mm format.
These 50 photographers have shared their unique points of view around 'Love' and have been selected as finalists among more than 15,093 submissions in the #Love2019 Photo Contest by AGORA images.
Love is a complex set of emotions and beliefs, an intense feeling of deep affection and a force of nature that can be found anywhere. It is one of the strongest feelings that we'll ever know: love means to be deeply committed and connected to someone or something.

Windows PC users move along, nothing to see here. You already have all the connectivity you need; MacBook users though, stick around, you'll be interested in this. Because in the world of Apple less is more, MacBook users have to find ways to get all of their peripherals and cables connected via external means because Apple cheaped out on ports themselves.
The iPad Pro can be found in photography studios, and photographers tool kits around the globe and they're used for good reason. While I don't always agree with what Apple does, it is hard to deny the fact that the company has the best tablet ever made as part of their portfolio.
Fujifilm shocked the world when they announced the Fujifilm GFX 100. The GFX 100 follows on from the already impressive GFX 50S and the GFX 50R, and there's already a solid line-up of glass for the platform so the GFX 100 can hit the ground running.
Filters are fantastic. They enable us to produce images that would otherwise be near impossible to create at certain times, but as great as they are, they can also be a royal pain. Often, we find ourselves needing multiple copies of the same filters with different thread sizes for the various lenses in our collection.
As photographers, we've likely said, or have heard someone telling a new photographer, or perhaps even an experienced photographer that 'gear doesn't matter. ' Those four little words that are so quickly spoken can be some of the worst advice that you or any other photographer can give, or receive because ultimately gear does matter in photography, just like the type of equipment for many different activities matters.
Photographer Sean Tucker‘s latest video is a departure from the gear or technique videos that typically make the rounds in the photo world. In fact, it’s not even specifically about or for photographers.
As photographers, we find ourselves being asked to be the photographer at all sorts of events, even family events like firework parties, and that means we don't get to be quite as immersed as we would like, but if you find yourself being able to skip the party photography in an official capacity, you can go about taking images for fun, and for yourself.

Instant print cameras have always been, and will always be super fun to use. They are the perfect companion for photographers who don't want to take their main camera with them to capture the fun of a party, or a night on the town.
Natural history photography has more than a passing resemblance to street photography. One of the secrets of street photography is to first find your "stage" and then wait for the subjects to appear.
10 years ago I was suffering from anorexia and was very ill. The fear of food was overwhelming and it had become my biggest enemy. I recovered, miraculously, and began to see food in a new light.
Epson have just announced that the successor to the popular SureLab Minilab D700 will be hitting retail outlets in July 2019. The Epson Surelab D870 Minilab will be capable of producing vast quantities of prints in a very short amount of time, which will no doubt be music to the ears of those who are in the business of small-format photo production.
It's evident in certain circles that when you become a photographer of a certain experience and one who wears a certain prescription, there is an emphasized need for items like a microfiber cloth. Their uses are numerous and within your circles, you're expected to carry them in the same way that a scout never leaves home without their pocket knife.
Both Fujifilm and Leica make quality compact cameras, but does the gulf in price between the two featured here mean that one is truly better than the other? Some would argue that Leica's are the pinnacle, the creme de la creme, the best of the best, simply because, well, they're Leica's, but does it automatically mean that you're going to get results from their cameras that simply cannot be replicated by models that cost significantly less? After the break we will share a Fujifilm X100F versus a Leica Q compact camera comparison video with you that Evan Ranft has put together.
Depression is one of the most complicated, and most misunderstood illnesses around the globe. It can be incredibly hard for those around people who suffer with depression to understand just what is going on, and for those who suffer with it, it can be hard to describe how they feel.
I’ve heard countless versions of the same story: a photo assistant discovering that the photographer charged the client double what they paid the assistant in regards to the assistant fee on the client’s invoice, a tragic problem frequently encountered and rarely remedied.
Life demands so much of you: and the most exhausting thing at times is finding balance between it all. My grandfather used to say to me "You go to school, and you come home, you sleep, then go to work, come home and sleep.
While photography is a fantastic passion and hobby to have, I don't at all think that it should be the sole thing that brings you joy in life. The world is a fantastic place filled with tons of variety and if you limit yourself to just one hobby, it can get boring and monotonous.
"People nowadays think almost like a tribe about equipment and gear. " says Omar Z Robles about his recent project released that is shot on film. "But in the end they're just tools to carry your vision.

One of the great things about Mirrorless cameras has been the extra support they get in the form of firmware updates. While DSLR's used to get them, they were very infrequent. However, with the Mirrorless market being so competitive, and with each company always trying to one up each other, firmware updates have become a very normal part of Mirrorless ownership.
Everywhere you go these days it seems that Full Frame is the buzz word in the photography world. The gap between APS-C cameras and Full Frame cameras has closed significantly, but there is perhaps still an ounce of difference between the two platforms with Full Frame only just squeezing out a win.
''Please stop thinking you know what is the best for us. How many times have you been sitting in the street, looking at all these people who used to be your friends?'' he asked me. ''I guess, I've never been in the same situation'' I answered.
We have made it pretty well known that we really enjoy using Capture One here at the Phoblographer. All of the staff use it due to its great design, and its superior editing abilities over its rivals.
My name is Marija Smanja and I'm a photographer from Bosnia and Herzegovina. When I started with photography, I used to shoot what I see in front of me, but after gaining some experience in portraiture, documentary, and some other fields in photography, I realized that I want to capture something that's not just aesthetically appealing but engage the viewers more and evokes their personal emotional response.
I made a promise last year. To myself, to my kids, to my husband. I would take less client work and spend more time on forced family fun.
I spent over two years in Iceland trying to find the most incredible natural phenomena close to Reykjavik. Northern lights are very desirable thing these days. This is one of the few things which make Iceland very popular destination right now.
Macro photography is something I enjoy doing in my free time. I work as a children photographer for almost 8 years and I love it. I have always loved capturing the beauty of nature, especially in the small things.
I’m back! For those of you who don’t know me (impossible!) I do customer support, video editing, and moderate the comments on TCLive for Northrup Photography. What I am not is a photographer.
