Introduction Nikon released its first portrait lens for the Z mount with the announcement of the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct, but it was more of a "show off" lens to demonstrate the possibilities of the new system more than anything, especially considering its exorbitant $8K price-tag. The portrait...

Nikon D3500 Review
When Nikon announced the D3500, photographers complained that nothing had really changed from the D3400. (Akin to complaints when the D3400 had so many D3300 similarities.) I’ve now tested the D3500 extensively – and I disagree. It has its flaws, no doubt. But this camera is better than the D3400.
Profoto B10 Review
This is a review of the Profoto B10 AirTTL OCF Flash Head, a lightweight, portable and battery-powered flash designed for professional portrait photographers. Although Profoto had previously released battery-powered flash heads for on-location work such as the B1 (see our Profoto B1 Review), B1X and B2, they were all either...
Fuji X-H1 Review
One could argue that Fuji's timing of the X-H1 release in February of 2018 was a bad marketing move due to the release of the X-T3 months after the announcement. I wholeheartedly agree, as the X-H1 certainly did fall into the shadows of the X-T3 and all the fanfare that...
Canon EOS R Review
2018 was a big year for mirrorless cameras with Nikon, Canon, and Panasonic all announcing their first full-frame mirrorless systems. Nikon struck first when it released the Nikon Z-series cameras in the summer, but Canon wasn’t too far behind when they introduced the EOS R a couple of months later....

Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Review
The following is a review of the Sigma 100-400mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens which was released in February of 2017 as part of Sigma's affordable "Contemporary" lens lineup. The introduction of the Sigma 100-400mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C lens is a logical one for the company as...
DJI Mavic 2 Pro Review
In this review of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, we will take a closer look at how the drone performs for both aerial photography and videography. After testing out the Mavic Air last year, I realized just how useful compact drones have become for many creatives out there. Being able...
BenQ SW271 Monitor Review
Earlier last year I had a chance to test the BenQ SW320 monitor, which turned out to be a solid choice for my photography needs. I was able to calibrate the display using both BenQ's native Palette Master Element software and DisplayCAL, which provided me with great results at the...
Sony A7 III Review
Calling the A7 series ‘entry-level’ is a bit misleading, rather it is less specialized and seeks to appeal to a broader range of photographers at an accessible price point. It doesn't offer the same high resolution as the A7R series, the same low-light and video-centric features of the A7S series...
