The Nikon D780 is a complex camera with plenty of menu options that may leave new D780 owners confused. So, I've created this guide to explain the camera's most important settings, including how I set everything on my own D780. Keep in mind that these are just personal preferences - there's...

Nikon Z50 Review
The Nikon Z50 is the first-generation Z-mount DX mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor. Announced on October 10, 2019, together with two compact DX lenses specifically designed for the camera, the Nikon Z50 packs many attractive features, putting it above entry-level DSLRs like Nikon D3500 and D5600. With its price...
Fuji X-T20 Review
The success of the Fujifilm X-T series cameras has created the demand for a lower cost camera that incorporates most of the features in a more compact body. The Fuji X-T1 prompted the birth of the X-T10, and the X-T2 obviously resulted in the second-generation X-T20. Built to the same...
Zabriskie Point in 32K Resolution
We all know what a 4K image looks like. With its resolution of 3840 x 2160, it works out to be an 8.3-megapixel image. Double the number of pixels horizontally, and you get 8K resolution at 7680 x 4320, which is about 33.2 MP. Do it again, and you get...
Fuji X-T4 Announcement
Fujifilm just announced the 26.1-megapixel X-T4, a highly anticipated update to 2018's X-T3. The X-T4 sports significant improvements in autofocus, video, and shutter durability, but the headline feature is 6.5-stop IBIS (the previous X-T3 does not have in-body image stabilization at all, so this is a major upgrade). The camera...
Nikon Z6 Review
The Nikon Z6 was announced in August of 2018 alongside the higher resolution Z7. Both Z-series cameras marked the company's entry into the full-frame mirrorless market, a category of camera that many Nikon shooters had anticipated anxiously for years. But it was always a question of “when,” not “if” Nikon...
Nikon Z7 Review
The Z7 is the first iteration of a full-frame high-resolution mirrorless camera that Nikon released in August of 2018. The camera was announced together with a 24 MP sibling and three Z-mount lenses. One could argue that Nikon's entry into the mirrorless market took too long, but many photographers waited...
Nikon Z6 and Z7 Add Animal Eye AF via Firmware
It is a big day today for Nikon Z shooters - Nikon has just released a huge firmware 3.0 update that includes a number of big upgrades and fixes, including the introduction of "Animal Detection" autofocus mode that adds dogs and cats to the subjects supported by face and eye-detection...
2020-2021: Big Leaps for Nikon and Canon Mirrorless
Without a doubt, this year is going to be huge for both Canon and Nikon. With Nikon acknowledging itself being in a transitional period from DSLR to mirrorless (see Keiji Oishi's DPReview interview) and aiming to release a total of 23 Z mount lenses by the end of 2021, it...
Nikon Z8 Wishlist
Nikon is going to release a pro-grade Z-mount mirrorless camera later this year (probably something like "Nikon Z8"), so I decided to put together a wishlist of features that I hope to see implemented. It is expected that this camera is going to feature IBIS, dual card slots, a 60...
