Specs aside — it’s a “typical” Leica with relatively noisy upper ISO levels and unsurprisingly moderate AF speed — the new Leica T is quite a stunner. Well the ISO and AF judgment I got from people who shot preproduction models, so it can only get better. But as with any Leica, you don’t buy […]

This is Lytro 2.0, it has little in common with the first squarish light field camera introduced two years ago: here’s a well kept, totally unexpected camera development secret just unveiled, the high-end Illum light fielder with a large 1-inch sensor, an 8x zoom with 30-250mm reach and constant F2 aperture. It’s the “shoot now, […]

Here’s Abroad, a short movie by filmmaker John Lynch. It’s in fact a Pentax K-5 commercial. Yet the camera’s hardly mentioned. You never even see the camera. It’s a Pentax anti-commercial. If only more ad campaigns were like this… Great editing, fantastic story, yet a bit outdated first K-5 incarnation. Right, in a way it’s […]
If you got some spare time: interesting piece by Trevor Paglen on the excellent photography blog Still Searching. Paglen asks what, if anything, has “changed” about photography over the last decade or so. To him, traditional approaches to doing-photography and thinking-about-photography feel increasingly anachronistic, not only because the rise of digital photography and image processing […]

Interesting graphs by the organizers of Photokina who recently ventured to Japan for a sales pitch, as reported by DC.watch. They had bad news for established camera makers. Not only is the digital imaging market transforming itself at an astonishing speed. Never have more pictures been taken, but never have fewer digital cameras been used: […]

Artistic direction is acceptable for portraits as long as the portrait is not presented […]

You’ve read all the rumors, now camera and specs are confirmed. The Pentax 645Z medium format camera is officially announced, and boy does Ricoh, the new owner of Pentax, know what it’s doing. At its heart the 645Z has the same 50MP Sony sensor (another growing Sony dominance) as the digital backs of the Hasselblad […]
No. 1: Sony. No. 2: Canon. The difference is not even a percentage point, but for a relative newcomer such as Sony this is quite an achievement. For the first time Sony beats market leader Canon in sales of system cameras. And not anyplace, but in South Korea, an important consumer market with an highly […]

By BENGT NYMAN What is taking so long? The DSLR is big, heavy and slow but takes superb pictures, unfortunately accompanied by a loud, clacking sound. The mirrorless camera is small, light, fast and in some cases totally quiet and vibration-free. However it has difficulties matching the viewing clarity and image quality of the DSLR. […]
Words of wisdom for the photographer: When you’re dead — who knows what happens to your cameras. When you’re alive — you think you don’t have enough cameras. Make full use of what you have, and not of what you don’t need. So why not turn the 30/70 rule upside down: 70% of an expensive […]

Bottom line: hear hear, competition, Sony does it again, betting the market does need a 12MP full-frame camera with fewer, but larger pixels that see in the dark. Sony is once again pushing the envelope with the A7S, a high sensitivity monster delivering ISO 50 to 409,600 with probably “unprecedented dynamic range,” as Sony promises, […]
