Ridiculous! Sony and Canon have a major presence in professional video, whereas Nikon is absent except for DSLR's, and now the Z6 and Z7.

External recording is mentioned only in passing in this...

Actually, the 70-200/2.8 is mentioned under the same heading.

If you look at the specifications, the f/4 G and f/2.8 GM lenses have about the same image quality. In a world where ISO 25,600 gives...

I would add the Zeiss Batis 85/1.8 and manual Loxia 85/2.8 to that list.

IMO, DPReview's choices are on spot. Sony's f/4 zooms are lighter, less expensive, and with the exception of the 24-70/4 Tessar, with image quality appropriate for 42 MP. The new 24-105/4 promises...

What's next, pre-chewed bubble gum?

People who fear the possibility of weaponized drones should find this troublesome. This week we heard of small drones which can work in consort to life heavy items and perform various industrial...

Not a grant, but there are several ways to publish your results, with or without peer review. Several respected journals regularly confuse correlation with causation, especially if there are...

I owe DPReview an apology. There is no way to activate the discreet AF assistance light in the top-end Sony F60M flash with a Sony A7/A9 camera. According to various reports, the mid-level F45M...

My Sony A7/A9 cameras have an AF illuminator, but I choose not to use it. The cameras focus at light levels so low you need a flashlight to see the dials. The viewfinder adapts to the ambient light...

You can still get fined for flying illegally. In Chicago that can cost $5000 and 6 months in jail. The firmware update is intended to keep. you out of trouble (and others safe).

It's been a while, but I don't recall that model fixed-wing aircraft controls incorporated GPS. GPS is essential in quad=copters for stability while shooting pictures or video, for programming a...

It's the density and the way glacial ice is formed - under intense, prolonged pressure - not the purity of the water. Glacial ice is a pale, aquamarine blue and free from air, which makes...

I currently own one Leica (M-9P) which has a rear LCD, and two which do not (M2 and M3) and have functional thumb levers. The LCD is too valuable, and not easily replaced with a smart phone. I...

I understand there is a number you can call at the FAA (or local airport?) where you can obtain a code which will give you a temporary override. You may have to file a flight plan. Even major...

One of the engineers stated he enjoyed greater freedom in lens design, for example to minimize focus breathing for the benefit of video shooters. The "freedom" part is significant. Freedom from the...

Unlike 7" Ninja recorders, the 5" Ninja V does not come with a convenient carrying case. I found that a LowePro DashPoint AVC2 is the perfect size for the Ninja V, spare batteries, drives and...

It's always acceptable to ask questions. It's never appropriate to sneer at the answers (or questions).

My first interest is sound. Sound guys do much of the work in a production, but we don't get chairs with names or wear berets and sunglasses indoors ;)

"Highest quality" is somewhat misleading. Most product will be 8 or 10 bit, just as in photography. A 10 or 12 bit source allows a greater degree of grading before causing posterization or other...

the Ninja V frame is solid aluminum, not a plastic shell on a metal chassis like the Flame and Inferno models. A standard Atomos drive enclosure extends about 1/2" outside the chassis.

With only...
