  • Review: Fujifilm X-M1

    As the Fujifilm X-Series mirrorless system grows, Fuji has seen fit to diversify a bit from what was previously a system that catered entirely to enthusiasts and professionals.

  • 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.

  • Sony announces new NEX-6 camera and new lenses

    Today, Sony made a number of announcements in their imaging division, from a new full-frame SLT camera to a full frame camcorder, to a very expensive full-frame compact camera (I’ll likely follow with some thoughts on that later tonight).  However, for those of us who use predominantly mirrorless cameras, the new NEX-6 and NEX lenses…

  • 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!

    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…
