Hi, just wondering if my perception is correct – nobody in the UK used to "shoot" photos or "shoot" a particular brand (let alone "shoot people" in street photography) before YouTube Americanized us, right? As a Brit who has lived for years in the US, I still try to resist "shooting", and it's definitely "Nikkon" (in Japanese, and in British English) not "Nigh-kon". When Americans say "shoot" and "Nigh-kon", that's fine, but now YouTube seems to be full of British people who are out "shooting".
Just curious. Maybe the British pros have been "shooting" for a long time...??
You think that's bad, what about all the Brit spelling popping up???
Aha! Interesting
I shoot but I am trying to embrace Nickon, however, it was hard to learn American spelling and seeing all the "influencers" with their extra u's a z's is a bit much.
U's are good, but it's definitely an 's' and not a 'z'. And if it were a 'z' that would be a 'zed', of course

The Sony a7CR is a high-resolution addition to the company's compact full-frame a7C series. So what did we make of it and where does it leave the a7 IV that it sits just above?
Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
Why is the Peak Design Everyday Backpack so widely used? A snazzy design? Exceptional utility? A combination of both? After testing one, it's clear why this bag deserves every accolade it's received.
If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. Read on to find out which portable enthusiast compacts are our favorites.
What's the best camera for travel? Good travel cameras should be small, versatile, and offer good image quality. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for travel and recommended the best.
'What's the best mirrorless camera?' We're glad you asked.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? This price point gives you access to some of the most all-round capable cameras available. Excellent image quality, powerful autofocus and great looking video are the least you can expect. We've picked the models that really stand out.
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
