Sony a7CR Sample Photo Macro

To cap off a trio of major announcements today, Sony has revealed the a7CR – an offshoot of their small, lightweight a7C lineup that borrows the company’s highest-resolution 61 megapixel full-frame sensor. Although the original a7C was more of an entry-level full-frame camera, the a7CR definitely isn’t, launching for a price of $3000.

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

August 29, 2023 By Spencer Cox 15 Comments

Photographer and Robot Illustration

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...

Dockcase Smart USB-C Hub – A Mini Review

Hero

If you’re using one of the latest laptops featuring USB-C, like the MacBook Pro, the C type port can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it’s a powerful and multi-purpose port. On the other hand, it seems like there are never enough of them to go around!

DxO PhotoLab 6 and DxO PureRaw 3 are two popular photography software options, especially for noise reduction. DxO is pretty famous for its machine-learning noise reduction algorithms, but I see a lot of confusion over which one of these two you should get – if either. Read on to find out!

Nikon D850_Sample 13

Christmas may still be a long way off, but the advantage of being an adult is that you can enjoy it any time. Santa rang me a few days ago to say he had a new Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR on the way for me! I think it should...

August 25, 2023 By Spencer Cox 11 Comments

Viltrox AF 24mm f1.8

Viltrox is one of the few third-party companies that makes autofocus lenses for the Nikon Z system, and I've been eager to test their lenses for a while. The Viltrox AF 24mm f/1.8, which I'm reviewing today, is a full-frame autofocus lens available both for the Nikon Z system and...

Viltrox AF 24mm f/1.8 vs Nikon Z 24mm f/1.8 S

Nikon Z 24mm f/1.8 S Image Sample #4

If you want a 24mm prime lens for the Nikon Z system, two of your options are the Viltrox AF 24mm f/1.8 and the Nikon Z 24mm f/1.8 S. There’s a major price difference between them, but at least both lenses have autofocus capabilities and a Nikon Z mount! So, which one should you get?

Nikon Zfc Landscape Sample Photo Iceland Winter

I had the chance to test the Viltrox AF 24mm f/1.8 and Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 extensively in the field – part of my quest to find the best wide-angle prime for the Nikon Z system! Both of these lenses aim for low prices rather than maximum performance, but which is actually better?
