A large, blue DJI logo is overlaid on a dark, shadowed camera body, creating a contrast between the bright logo and the black background.

DJI Could (But Probably Won’t) Launch a Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera

Although PetaPixel rarely deals with photography rumors, there is one that keeps popping up that warrants attention. For about a year, numerous publications have reported that DJI is gearing up to release a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. Is it possible? Sure. Does it make sense? Not really.

A Creator’s Guide to Data Storage and Backup

If you’re someone who makes a living by creating things with your computer, or even an enthusiastic hobbyist, chances are that eventually, you’re going to need more room to store all of your stuff than can be provided by the drive(s) built into your computer.

A box of Harman Phoenix ISO 200 Colour Film sits on a white platform against a dark background with blue abstract shapes, with a "PetaPixel Reviews" banner in the top left corner.

Harman is on a roll, expanding its support for analog photographers with multiple new film emulsions this year. Right on the heels of Kentmere Pan 200, its new Phoenix II film stock replaces the more experimental original Phoenix and improves on it in multiple areas. That said, it might not be for everyone.

What a mouthful.

After a tumultuous few years marked by financial mismanagement, unfulfilled promises, and legal disputes, Outdoor Photographer, a beloved name in nature photography, has returned under new (and familiar) management. But the road to recovery has been far from simple, and the scars left by the magazine’s previous ownership still linger within the photography community.
