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...??
Well, as I learned when I was in England, "the US and Britten are two countries divided by a common language", That kinda explains it ALL!!!
Attributed (possibly incorrectly) to George Bernard Shaw
Yeah, don’t know who coined it. I heard it from the guides while taking a tour of the Tower of London. Might have been a Beefeater. Do Beefeaters give tours?

I heard it during the 1980s from a USAAF veteran who had been based in England during WWII.

Chris and Jordan are enjoying some well deserved time off this week, so we're taking a trip in the wayback machine to revisit the launch of Canon's original full-frame mirrorless camera, the EOS R. Give it a watch to see how far Canon's mirrorless line has come.
The a7R V is the fifth iteration of Sony's high-end, high-res full-frame mirrorless camera. The new 60MP Mark IV, gains advanced AF, focus stacking and a new rear screen arrangement. We think it excels at stills.
After weeks with a production Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Chris and Jordan get into more detail than they could in their initial review.
Topaz Labs' flagship app uses AI algorithms to make some complex image corrections really, really easy. But is there enough here to justify its rather steep price?
Ultra-wide to short telephoto?! The Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G has a very useful focal range, so we took it to the mountains to see how it performs.
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.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
