Having been using the Microsoft Surface Pro for several years now, I was psyched to see the launch of the Surface Book, along with the Surface Pro 4. When I first heard about the Surface Book, I thought "here goes another laptop again"...until I saw the screen detach from the...

Sony RX100 IV Review
Although Sony has already made the fourth iteration of its RX100 camera, sadly, I have not had a chance to test and review any of the earlier models. After the Sony RX100 IV was announced, I told myself that I had to give this camera a try. Partly because our...
Sony FE 2x Teleconverter Review
Released in 2016 alongside the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS and Sony FE 1.4x Teleconverter, the Sony FE 2x Teleconverter is an essential addition to Sony’s full-frame E-mount lineup. Given the relative lack of dedicated telephoto options available to the mount, the Sony FE 2x Teleconverter dramatically enhances the...
Fstoppers + Elia Locardi Landscape Photography Tutorial Review
I still remember the first time I met Elia Locardi. I was busy passing through the vendor exhibits of the Photo Plus show in New York, when I saw a small crowd of people watching a presentation. What attracted me was not the crowd, because people were everywhere - it...
Sony A6000 Review
The Sony A6000 is an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera that was released as a flagship APS-C product in February of 2014. Sony dumped the "NEX" naming convention in its line of mirrorless APS-C products and merged everything into the "Alpha" ecosystem. Let's take a look at the A6000 in more...

USA Gear Camera Backpack Review
For as long as I can remember, ever since I bought my first DSLR I've been looking for "the perfect" casual camera backpack. For me, that means a backpack that I can take anywhere, that's easy to use, carries enough gear for a long walk or casual hike, has room...
ZTE Spro 2 Review
A couple of weeks back, AT&T sent me a ZTE Spro 2 Smart Projector to review and give away to one of our readers. I loved the idea of doing this, not only because it is a neat little smart device that you can use as a mobile hotspot and...
Sony A7R II Review
Earlier this year, I wrote a detailed review of the Sony A7R, where I expressed a number of serious concerns with the camera, some of which were serious enough to be categorized as "deal breakers". Soon after, Sony announced the much-anticipated A7R II mirrorless camera, a second iteration of the...
Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Review
Although Tamron pioneered the release of the first 150-600mm lens, Sigma followed suit by releasing two versions of lenses with exactly the same focal length and aperture ranges. The smaller and lighter version, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary (the one we are reviewing today), targets the same...
