Here’s a little secret – you can actually vlog with most any camera. You can even use the front camera on your smart phone. The truth is that the majority of viewers don’t watch vlogs on large screen TVs, they watch them on their phones or on tablets and laptops and most won’t notice the […]
Sony RX100 V Real World Review: The best compact camera for travel
The Sony RX100 V is the best compact camera for travel. Period. If you’re a very serious travel photographer, you will likely violently disagree with that statement. But that statement isn’t directed to you. After all, you probably carry around a couple of lenses, maybe a tripod, perhaps a 3-axis gimbal, maybe even a drone. If that’s […]
The Best Sony RX100 V Accessories
The Sony RX100 V (aka the Sony RX100 M5) is one of the best compact cameras out right now. With its amazing 1-inch sensor, and 24-70mm-equivalent lens range, this absolutely tiny camera (pocketable!) has become one of my favorites. I carry it almost everyday, since it’s so tiny, I can just drop it in my […]
How to use GoPro mounts and accessories with ANY camera
If you want to use GoPro accessories with almost any camera – you only need one thing – a converter from the GoPro mount to the standard tripod mount (1/4-20″) that can be found in the majority of cameras. Now, these adapters are a dime a dozen on Amazon – here’s a popular one – […]

5 best pocketable compact vlogging cameras in 2017
This guide is going to be specific to vloggers who want to get a small, light weight, vlogging camera that can be easily slipped in a pocket or dropped in a purse or bag. If you constantly move to different locations throughout your day it doesn’t really make sense to be lugging around a heavy […]
Peak Design Leash Review: The Best Camera Strap for Small Cameras
I’ve never been a fan of most camera straps. They are typically ugly, with big bright colors and big letters advertising your camera brand. Most are also unwieldy, with way too much padding making them not easily packable and not easily removed from the camera when I want to go strapless. Since I mostly shoot […]

The new Olympus OMD EM1 Mark II is set to land in stores in less than a week, but a few sample videos are already showing up, giving us a glimpse at one of its biggest features – its astounding sensor-based image stabilization, capable of stabilizing most lenses up to 5.5 stops (and 6.5 stops […]
A visual travel diary: A weekend in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities in the world. Writer Pico Iyer has described Hong Kong as: “A dream of Manhattan, arising from the South China Sea.” From a sleepy, unassuming fishing village in the 1700’s, Hong Kong has grown into one of the biggest metropolis in the world. […]
Best Camera Inserts for non-Camera Bags
If you’re anything like me, you probably own more than one camera bag. For the simple reason that there just isn’t a perfect camera bag. The problem with most camera bags is that they are basically over-engineered, heavily padded boxes with straps attached. They’re designed to haul a lot of photo gear, maybe a laptop, […]
