  • The State of the Mirrorless Camera Industry – May 2013

    The State of the Mirrorless Camera Industry – May 2013

    When I first started this site about 16 months ago, I did a two-part piece examining a little of the history of digital photography and a trending towards mirrorless cameras. Since then, a lot has changed in a relatively short period of time, though the major players are still the same. More and more people…

  • Review: Fujifilm X-E1

    Review: Fujifilm X-E1

    Fuji is a relative newcomer to the mirrorless game, and they’ve taken a different strategy than the other players in this market. Fuji has eschewed the entire low-end market and decided to focus on prosumer and professional users exclusively. Last year, they introduced the X-Pro 1, a relatively large body with a hybrid optical and…

  • Mirrorless Battle: OM-D vs GH3 vs X-E1

    Mirrorless Battle: OM-D vs GH3 vs X-E1

    This should be a fun comparison.  I have the pleasure of having three of the best mirrorless cameras around in my possession right now: a newly acquired Fuji X-E1 with 35mm f/1.4, my trusty Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Panasonic GH3, fresh into my hands for review.  Expect full reviews of the Fuji X-E1 and Panasonic…

  • What I’m Working On…

    I haven’t forgotten about the site, I promise! I’ve been swamped at work and home doing all sorts of things and have had very, very little time to shoot or do anything photography related. That said, I am working on a few things. I have received a Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8 from LensRentals.com to run through…

  • Olympus Releases the E-M5!

    Olympus Releases the E-M5!

    The much leaked and highly anticipated Olympus E-M5 is finally here.  Olympus has finally released the “professional” grade Micro 4/3 camera they’ve been promising for years.  Will it measure up to the hype? Will it take the Micro 4/3 format in a new direction?  I’ll dissect the press release a bit and give you my…

  • When is your camera good enough?

    When is your camera good enough?

    As an active member in several on-line photographic communities, I read a lot of photographers’ opinions on a wide range of subjects: photographic technique, inspirational photos, business and the quality of camera gear.  One trend I’ve noticed with the rapid pace of improvement in digital imaging is that many photographers get so caught up in…
