Posted on September 21, 2012September 21, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Wow.  Photokina kicked off this week, and as one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) photography trade shows, it also sees a ton of announcements.  I wanted to get to these earlier, but it’s been crazy busy around here.  For Micro 4/3 users, Monday saw the announced release of no less than three new…

Samsung Galaxy Camera – Some thoughts

Posted on August 30, 2012August 30, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Yesterday, Samsung announced their new Galaxy Camera…a full fledged point and shoot with essentially a full fledged smartphone built in (minus the voice calling).  It’s an intriguing idea, and I feel it likely shows functionality that will become more commonplace with cameras going forward.  It’s got a 21x optical zoom lens and a 16.3 MP…

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Pansonic today announced a bunch of new cameras…a small sensor superzoom with f/2.8 aperture (which is pretty cool, frankly), a new ‘premium’ compact in the LX7, and their latest Micro 4/3 camera, the Lumix DMC-G5.

Thoughts on the Schneider-Kreuznach 14mm f/2.0 Super Angulon

Posted on June 16, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Schneider-Kreuznach is a well respected lens maker, who primarily has specialized in ultra-high end cinema lenses and large format photographic lenses for their subsidiary company B+W, which is probably the most well respected photographic filter maker in the business.    They also make many of the lenses for the Samsung NX series mirrorless cameras, though…

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Hands-On Preview

Posted on April 24, 2012April 24, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Today I got a chance for a brief time to handle Olympus’ new flagship Micro 4/3 camera, the E-M5, which is positioned in the brand new OM-D line, a callback to the OM system of the 1970s and 1980s.  The new camera is styled in a very similar vein to those cameras, but is also…

Are you a Photographer or a Camera Enthusiast?

Posted on April 12, 2012April 12, 2012 by Jordan Steele

I was perusing the net at many oft visited Photography related websites, and came across this post on 43rumors.com.  It basically shows some images of the upcoming Olympus 75mm f/1.8 lens for Micro 4/3.  There was certainly nothing wrong with the post, but the comments on the post had me scratching my head. It wasn’t just…

The Future of Casual Photography is Here

Posted on February 27, 2012February 27, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Today at Mobile World Congress, Nokia launched their new 808 PureView.  It’s a smartphone.  A smartphone with a 41 Megapixel camera. I know what you’re thinking.  I thought the same thing:  Those have got to be the worst 41 megapixels in existence. That’s outright absurd.  And then I looked at the images.  This thing is…
