Sony issued a service bulletin that certain "Tough" SD cards will corrupt video files, and will be replaced at no cost. I checked mine, and they're the updated...

The A7Siii will probably have an USB-C port, which could potentially be used with an external SSD. In any case, a small HDMI recorder/monitor like an Atomos Ninja V fits nicely in the flash shoe or...

I appreciate the flexibility of Sony A7/A9 cameras for both stills and video. I now shoot much more video than stills, with two A7iii cameras dedicated to that task, and two others for stills or in...

Actually, DOF is proportional to the cropping factor at the same f/stop.

I think it's a matter of degree rather than kind. I find many podcasts disagreeable too, especially excessive use of slang and physical antics.

Showbiz (or politics) of any sort is inherently...

The Hero 8 has a super-wide lens, which simply exaggerates the main issue with cell phone video. Moreover the finder is fixed, on the back of the camera. You can use a cell phone to preview the...

Not all VLogging is done at arm's length or on a stick. Many podcasts are more of a performance nature. The better vlogs use a camera operator and possibly a recording engineer. Cameras such as...

I taught Karen how to shoot - and take photos too.

I wish I had a nickel for every photo of a bison, or conversely taken a photo for every buffalo nickel.

The COVID pandemic is one reason video is flourishing - live-streaming and YouTube included. If you're getting a late start, watch out for my dust ;)

I get 12 bit RAW from my Sony FS5. It's not very useful if you aren't doing heavy grading (or filling hard drives just for fun).

Green-tinged photos? It's time to fix your monitor. Shop around for...

Programmable buttons, two programmable menu systems - what more do you need? It takes me about 10 minutes to configure a new camera, now that I know what everything in the menu does.

Nature and travel videography is a burgeoning industry. When you're schlepping into the wilderness, less is better. Moreover it pays well. For still galleries, you have to enlist your relatives to...

A generation of photographers relied on a Leica M, and the Nikon F was hardly any larger. Neither sported a hand grip. It's a good thing you weren't born in that era ;)

Heat comes from the battery and storage circuitry, not the sensor. Move the batter outside the chassis and voila - no heat buildup. I drove my A7iii 2-1/2 hours continuously Monday, barely warm to...

My Apple 5K Retina display beats the iPhone.

I would not be surprised if Sony expanded their video lenses in E-mount to meet the expanding interest. Now there are only two professional grade Sony video lenses, the PZ 28-125 f/4 (FX) and PX...

Patent Trolls look for companies with deep pockets. Under US procedures, it may be cheaper to settle than to defend. With hospitals closed to all but COVID-19 patients, there aren't that many...

In the US, each party in a lawsuit is responsible for their own legal fees. In the UK, the loser pays all. Not that the UK doesn't have nuisance litigation, but it can get very costly, and be...

Film has so much better color than digital. Really? It's certainly different. However when you copy a slide with a digital camera, the results are true to the slide. It is clear that some prefer a...
