How Organic Panasonic Sensors Can Change Imaging For The Better

I can't really say image sensor technology has peaked at the moment. What is true however, is how rapidly it has improved in the last decade and a half.

The Nikon Z9 Might Be Nikon’s Last Chance at Success

In 12 years of journalism, I really thought that Nikon was going to be next. When I first started, Pentax got bought by Hoya. Then they were passed off to Ricoh. And who can forget the Irish goodbye that Samsung gave us! I never expected that from Nikon.

Could We See the Return of an Unusual Panasonic Lens?

Is 3D still kind of a gimmick? I've been pondering that for the last few days. So much is possible with technology like LIDAR and depth scanning. But then there's also the fun stuff. For example, over a decade ago, Panasonic made a 3D lens.

Nikon Might Build a Super Camera with Revolutionary Camera Sensors

Things haven't been going great for Nikon over the last few years. The company mistakenly thought Mirrorless cameras would never take off. They bet their hedge funds on DSLRs, and it backfired. Now, though, things do seem to be getting better for the company.

Most photographers know the basics of lens-based image stabilization (Lens IS) and in-body image stabilization (IBIS), but if you’ve ever wanted a technical deep-dive that explains exactly how these systems work to generate 4, 5, or even 7 stops of stabilization, this video from Imaging Resource is here to answer that call. At the most […]

Video: What We Want in the Sony a5 (If It’s Real and Not Fake)

Is it real? We honestly don't know. But if the Sony a5 is real, then we've got a ton of questions. Like, what's the pricing going to be? Will it still really be over $1,000? What sensor will be inside? Will Sony take out a whole lot of their more innovative features? And if Sony does that, then why would someone buy the camera? Will it still have a DSLR style camera body? If Sony were to make one of these come out, then it would probably be very soon.
