At least they give their cameras different names. But in principle they’re releasing very similar products at very similar times. Copycats. Just take the recent release of the Canon 5D Mark III and the Nikon D800. They were announced within not even a month. Now the next battle of similar market targets is looming. We […]
It’s a tough world out there. Especially in the world of stock photography. That calls for innovation. Feast is such a child of competition and trade rivalry. An ingenious child, created by stock photography market leader iStockphoto. But what the heck is Feast? That’s not so easy. It’s photography, basically, but a challenge to one’s […]

The recent spate of smaller and smaller and more and more powerful cameras has brought forth new talk about sensor sizes. Let’s assume sensor size does matter — or doesn’t it? Or only conditionally? The bigger the better? Greetings from Dr. Freud. The whole crowd will just stand back to make way for you with […]

I might be someone too biased for a review of this gem of a camera, the Olympus OM-D E-M5. Am a Four Thirds veteran, was an early adopter of Olympus’ back then revolutionary E-System that invented the dust reduction features which were soon copied by everyone. What an amazing Kodak sensor the E-1 had — […]

Just when digital photography makes the life of a photographer easier than ever there is this new trend: film is back. Noisy, grainy, less convenient film. Not only is it more and more difficult and time-consuming to develop a role of film as compared to just uploading digital images. You’re limited to the 36 shots […]

Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has an in-depth interview with Fujifilm’s president Shigetaka Komori, the concern director who ushered in the reorganization of Fujifilm — just to mention the introduction of two nutrition and cosmetics product lines in 2006. What, you ask, has a traditional film company to do with nutrition and cosmetics? Japan’s large […]
There’s this ingenious marketing campaign by ingeniously named IT’SUGAR. The campaign is more than an eye-catcher. It’s a liberation theory. With one core phrase that looks like a variation of a good photographer’s mantra: “Shoot First. Ask later.” IT’SUGAR loudly suggests: Asking for forgiveness instead of permission. A kind of like Nike’s “Just Do It” […]
Remember, he not only uncovered an $1,7 billion Olympus accounting fraud that cost the Japanese camera-to-endoscope maker Olympus its board and reputation. He also uncovered the infamous side of corporate Japan that Olympus quickly wants to forget. Now Michael Woodford, the ousted Olympus chief executive, has reached an out-of-court settlement with his former employer for […]
This is maybe irresponsible. Recently, when traveling the U.S., we made the quite painful decision to put the journey above the imaging experience. Meaning: the big gear has to stay home. Value time spent with family and convenience were the priorities, and not stunning bokeh, super fast AF, always spot-on exposure and you know what […]

A few years ago anyone would have laughed off the idea of a camera phone somewhat replacing traditional gear. The smartphone though changes the landscape does exactly this. Or Steve Jobs did.

By RONN ALDAMAN The Fujifilm X-Pro1 a rangefinder? The question is moot. While Fujifilm does have a history of rangefinder cameras reaching back to the early 1970s, one has to ask what defines a camera as being a rangefinder. While there is for example no mirror-slap in the Fujifilm X-Pro1 we will not find what […]

Leica, watch out! Your pat your own back for inventing the world’s first black-and-white only digital camera, the M Monochrom. Well you’re wrong.
