Nikon Zf Announcement: A Camera of Firsts for Nikon
Moments ago, Nikon announced the full-frame, retro-themed Nikon Zf mirrorless camera. And although it inherits some tech from Nikon’s existing cameras like the Z6 II, the Nikon Zf actually has a lot of surprises under the hood. With a launch price of $2000, this camera looks extremely promising to me.
Photography News: iPhone 15, Major Fuji Announcements
This week, I did one of my favorite hikes in Colorado - one which goes to a beautiful high-alpine lake with stunning mountain views. Unfortunately, it was so foggy at the top that I couldn't see a thing! Instead of going home empty-handed, I thought about some alternative compositions that...
Composing Upside Down and Backwards

Sony a7C II Announced: A Competitive Update
Sony just announced the second camera in their a7C lineup, the $2200 Sony a7C II. Although it’s more expensive than the previous version, Sony has added plenty of new features, including better autofocus and a higher-resolution 33 MP sensor. The a7C II is scheduled to ship this Fall.
Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Announced
Sony just announced the second generation of their pro-level 16-35mm f/2.8 ultra-wide zoom, the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II. This new version is substantially lighter and smaller than the original 16-35mm f/2.8, and it focuses more closely, too. Sony says it will ship in Fall 2023 for an MSRP of $2300.
Where Artificial Intelligence Will and Won’t Replace Photography
I can't think of any technology right now that has more hype around it than artificial intelligence. It's not entirely unearned hype, either - I tend to be pretty skeptical of "the next big thing," but some of the feats in the AI world are nothing short of stunning. It's...
