Lots of Panasonic announcements this July 18, 2012. Here are the highlights: Preorder from Amazon the black or white Panasonic Lumix LX7 for $499.99. Shorter focal length, not the biggest sensor size and with 10.1MP not the highest resolution, but boy an F1.4 Leica Vario-Summilux comes with it. Rest assured IQ will be the crème […]
There is no true photography. And that’s the beauty of it. Styles change. Remember the Group f/64. With one of the masters of 20th century photography, Edward Weston. Everything should be altogether sharp. Group f/64 was more than a club of artists. It was photography as a socio-political movement. The late 1920s and early 1930s […]
By CHRISTOPH ZIEGENHARDT I was sitting in a small local café in Addis which my friend and translator took me to. “This is the best place for coffee, and you know the world’s best coffee is Ethiopian.” Of course many countries make the claim for the world’s best coffee and I have heard it Indonesia, […]
Am not saying I’m a good photographer. Just average. Newer cameras — and older ones for that — easily surpass my and many photographers’ capabilities. BTW, what’s about to follow is pure heresy for some, asking that I’m hanged, drawn and quartered. Still, in dubio pro reo… There are the basic rules though no one […]
By JAMES DIGIORGIO There was a time, not too long ago in fact, when my camera was a money machine. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never made Annie Leibovitz money, not even remotely close, but my camera(s) afforded me a pretty decent living. Unfortunately, that was then. As for now? Well, let’s just say I […]
Always wanted an affordable full-frame camera? Well now’s the time for the Canon 5D Mark II, the predecessor of the Mark III. If not now, when? Body only for $2,079 at Amazon, B&H and Adorama. Plus, B&H offers free accessory ($40 value). That’s a further 5% or $120 off the earlier, already quite attractive price. […]
By STEVE GIRALT Unlike most photographers, I hate my camera. I have read hundreds of stories on the Internet where photographers argue about which cameras are the best and why. There are stories trying to prove Canon is better than Nikon, or that 4×5 film is better than medium format digital. Camera review websites show […]

What better way to commute than listening to podcasts. Podcasts are not just a creative time killer. They’re inspiration. Whether audio or video podcasts, there are some dedicated professionals and photographers bringing their art and know-how closer to you via regular podcasts. If you’re new to podcasts, they’re downloadable Internet radio or video shows. They […]
By NEIL BUCHAN-GRANT I grew up in a small town in the east of Scotland, stumbling across photography when I was about 18. It was all I wanted to do for a few years. I shot mostly landscapes around the Fife countryside. Amazingly, all I now have of all that work is couple of boxes […]
This is not gonna be easy. Let me say before beginning this little hands-on review of the Ricoh GXR, the shooting experience turned out quite different from what I intended to expect. But that’s what reviews are here for. Using gear in the field is not about what’s promised in the shiny brochures of camera […]

BY NEIL CHAN In that fraction of a second which is your shutter speed, all the colors, lights, their absences and the shadows in between them are snapped and stored as a still. However, true experiences do not happen in a fraction of a second, and neither do they engage exclusively the sense of sight. […]
The future moves closer to reality: Google recently unleashed its inner Evel Knievel in a stunt-filled demonstration of its secretive futuristic computerized glasses. Google co-founder Sergey Brin ran onstage in San Francisco sporting a prototype of the Orwellian device, asking, “Who wants to see a demo of Glass?” The crowd roared, “Yes!” Google Glass — […]

Today’s Daily Portfolio by Tony Edenden is not your average portfolio. It comes as an iOS app for iPhone and iPad. Passer-By is the name of the app that brings you some 160 black-and-white pictures. They’re funny, sad and just plain odd, says photographer Tony who’ll tell you why he’s pleased to work with the […]
We’re a photography site, but as the iPhone dramatically changed the way people take pictures this can very well pass as a photography post. iPhoneography is a photography game changer, just to mention the myriad of apps that can give you a DSLR look shot with a smartphone. Word on the street is is the […]
Chances are that already in your childhood you used an electronic product made by Sharp. Today the Japanese multinational produces about anything electronic you can imagine, such as LCD panels, solar panels, mobile phones, entertainment equipment, video projectors, printers, microwave ovens, air conditioners, cash registers, flash memory — and even CCD and CMOS sensors. This […]
It’s an easy way out to add that certain je ne sais quoi to images: bokeh. What looked flat and lost in an unattractive background suddenly looks nicer. Now here’s the challenge: Do you ever try, intentionally, to avoid bokeh altogether? Look at the world’s most famous photographers. They’re not after nice bokeh. Especially if […]
This lens, at this price, size and quality, is an absolute no-brainer. And — if you ask me — a sign of things to come. Well the new Canon 40mm F2.8 pancake might indeed say something about Canon’s upcoming mirrorless camera system entry. EF mount? Most likely not. But there’s always an adapter. This unique […]
By MANFRED RIST, PARIS CORRESPONDENT NZZ France Soir fades away. The publication, a French media icon of the past, announced last December that it will stop printing and instead focus on an online version. Even that, it seems, was wishful thinking. By the end of the summer, we expect the title will be gone altogether. […]

The world has become one big, giant “Big Brother is watching you.” Major cities have thousands and thousands of security cameras installed. It’s even impossible to analyze all the footage. Most of it remains unseen and gets forgotten in the abyss of huge, endless storage devices. But wait! Someone other than police and security forces […]

Stefan Daniel, head of product management at Leica, sat down with THEME to talk about Leica of the past, present and future. You’ll understand that Mr. Daniel can’t give specific answers to the questions we all want to be answered, such as “What about the M10,” “Leica’s rumored compact system camera,” and so forth. Expecting […]
