“It’s the only tool that will stop time,” “The deeper you go, the better pictures you’ll take” or “It’s the life on the street and where the street takes you, that’s important” — these are just two of the many strong quotes from the feature length documentary Everybody Street by Cheryl Dunn, a movie about […]
This is a once-in-a-lifetime film experience. A trip to space, to the International Space Station ISS, explored with a camera. The ISS Image Frontier — Making the Invisible Visible is a stunning tribute the ISS as well as a certain Dr. Don Pettit who is not so petit at all. He’s a NASA astronaut and […]

While the big two are asleep, Sony is about to corner the market. Well, to be correct, Nikon is half asleep. They have a strategy to stay relevant; a strategy thats’ rather looking backward than forward. The winning formula? Just supply more of the same to new people. With more than two thirds of its […]
This is more about painting than photography. Meet unconventional artist Alexa Meade. Turning people into paintings. And then photographs. She skips the canvas. And turns three-dimensional scenes into two dimensional ones. There is no Photoshop here:

Yes, both Canon and Nikon recently cut their sales forecast as camera users are tired of buying nearly identical camera updates and more and more people switch to phones. But let’s not forget, Canon still estimates a massive $3.6 billion operating profit for the year. Nikon’s situation is worse with a 41% drop in operating […]
19-year-old Olivia Bee has to be admired. What a creativity, what camera skills. She’s photographing from her young perspective and killing it. Her clients include Hermès, Subaru, Vogue, Nike and the New York Times, to name a few. How many photographers would kill for such a work portfolio. Olivia Bee started her professional career at […]
The 1/4,000th of a second fastest shutter speed isn’t much of a problem with the Nikon Df. You get ISO 50, so there you go. The viewfinder? In another league, we hear from reviewers. Other not highest specs? Well wouldn’t that beat the purpose of an all manual, retro Nikon Df? You don’t buy the […]

Yet another new model? Wasn’t the latest iteration of this camera released only a few months ago? Right, that lineup’s ready for another upgrade… What number eh name again? Improvements? Take Nikon, serving the high end, midrange, upper entry and entry level market with a plethora of similar names. It takes a mathematician’s analytical skills […]
Surprise surprise. Weren’t we expecting an EOS M update? This looks like the silhouette of a DSLR, to be introduced sometime this month. It’s from a Canon Korea teaser. Translation: “November 2013, Canon will start from the white world. Coming Soon.” White world. White Canon? Seems to be the new game in town to tease […]

Haven’t seen so much heated debate about a camera in years. You get a D4, Leica M and film camera in one, for the price of not even a D800, and the end of the world seems near. People panic. Nikon D4 performance at half the price with hints of an M feel. I’m sold […]
Find all relevant Nikon Df product information including hands-on reviews, tests and analyses on our continuously updated The Nikon Df File. You might also want to visit my own first impressions Hands-On With the Retro Nikon Df (f for Fusion). You’ll read this camera is a trinity between D4, Leica M and good old film. […]
First off: the Nikon Df is a kind of trinity between D4, Leica M and good old film. Right, of the D4 that costs $6k and Leica $7k. And I am the only one excited?! Online commentaries are rather condescending, accusing Nikon of too much and not enough retro for the sake of retro. But […]
Non-mirrorless and pentaprism are not yet dead after all. Nikon makes a bold statement with the Nikon Df — photography’s heritage isn’t dead at all. You might not want the latest, bestest sensor — albeit three years old, its sensor rocks. Maybe what’s here is already perfect enough. Right, you bet this camera is an […]
Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” But even Clarke never envisioned Google’s Magic Picture Machine. They’re unlike anything else out there, the new Google+ photo and video features. Shall we take a moment to marvel at the technology behind it? The popularity of Google+ still […]
As I happen to be in Bangkok right now, Nikon Thailand’s kind enough to sends me an invitation for the Nikon Df announcement press conference taking place on Tuesday before noon, local time. Was told they’ll have pre-production models on show with the memory card slots sealed. So no, for the moment no full size […]
By RONN ALDAMAN This is an article for normal people, not technicians. The title is somewhat misleading. Some ask if the company can keep up with the competition. But the fact is, at the moment the real question to ask is: can Olympus keep up with with the demand for the new OM-D EM-1, currently […]
Not much to add. Competitively priced, say around $2k, Nikon created a new classic. Everything’s solid about this camera. Enjoy the Nikon Df’s Pure Photography pre-announcement teaser #5 with a confident Nikon showing off a beauty of a full-frame camera days before the November 5 launch. This teaser’s byline: “Good things take time. They’re worth […]
Thank you dear whatever for giving us Sony NEX clones dressed up by an “elite Italy-based Design Center.” That’s a quote from a Hasselblad press release announcing the launch of “three new Stellar Special Edition compact camera editions.” The original presser is too beautiful, so here it is in its full length — albeit I […]
The full-frame debate is a topic I love to cover on THEME. There are no clear answers. On whatever side you’re standing, pros and cons are more or less evenly balanced. One of the beauties of today’s photography is the many options we enjoy. Each and every photographer finds an appropriate system, tool and style. […]

Robert Capa, the greatest war photographer of the last century, was also a shrewd storyteller – and not just with the camera. His images of war and crisis areas went around the world, especially his photograph of the Falling Soldier. The image that shows a Spanish freedom fighter at the moment of his death has […]
It’s a new industry in itself: the market for what’s not here yet. The camera industry in particular plays with the hopes, doubts and expectations of photographers. In part because ever new improvements, functions and promises make believe a photographer’s work improves proportionally to the money spent and technical improvements gained. Fact is, chances are […]
The discussion continues whether photographers should stand up to the abominable rates paid these days. Well, the discussion not only concerns photographers, but journalists, writers and many artists as well. Isn’t it pretty obvious: free societies don’t exist without a quality free press, and creating value and quality with importance and excellence costs money. Photography, […]

Sleek and easy to carry, it offers a […]
It’s common practice by now that camera manufacturers announce a camera before they announce it. Be it intentional leaks or a more formal approach — camera companies waste no time in adding fuel to the rumor fire before bringing their gear to the market. Now Nikon takes a slightly more elaborate approach. Some estimated two […]
