The Fujifilm X-E3 is the latest version of Fuji’s X-E series of compact interchangeable lens cameras. The X-E series is the more budget friendly option in Fuji’s rangefinder-like line of cameras. Above it is the flagship Fujifilm X-Pro2. The X-E3 is probably one of my favorite cameras in the entire Fujifilm lineup. Although the latest […]
The Sony FE 28mm f/2 + wide-angle adapter: The poor man’s Tri-Elmar?
Although I’ve been shooting with fixed lens compact cameras for the past few years (currently, a Sony RX1 paired with the fantastic Sony RX100 V), I’ve recently been looking to get back to an interchangeable lens system. I’ve found myself doing more and more video lately, and while the RX100 V is a superb (!) […]
Best Vlogging Cameras for 2018
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 – […]
Billingham Hadley Small Review: The Best Small Camera Bag
The Billingham Hadley Small is a stunning bag. It’s the smallest in the Hadley line of bags, but it is in fact the perfect size for an everyday-carry (EDC) camera bag. It is an absolutely brilliant bag for walking around, for street photography or for travel. If you have a small camera, or a compact […]
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 […]
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, […]
