Canon EOS 80D Review

The Canon 80D is a mid-range DSLR that was released in 2016, intended for photographers who want a more advanced camera than an entry-level Canon Rebel series. We have been testing the Canon 80D extensively over the past couple of months, and the takeaway is clear: it is a very...

DJI Mavic Air Review

This is a detailed review of the DJI Mavic Air drone used for aerial photography and videography. As I was deciding on what gear to bring for a trip to New Zealand earlier this year, my biggest dilemma was whether to take a drone with me or not. The thing...

Nikon D7500 Review

This camera works. That was my thought after using the Nikon D7500 for two days of sub-freezing photography in Rocky Mountain National Park - only taking breaks from the cold while driving from one location to the next - in conditions that are the very definition of a field review....
