Camera Makers Need to Lean Into Their Brand Colors Again

Four vertical color stripes with camera brand names: Fujifilm on green, Nikon on yellow, Sony on orange, and Canon on red, each in their distinctive logo fonts.

When Nikon added the gold ring to the lens mount of its 28-135mm f/4 PZ earlier this year, I was ecstatic. Finally, Nikon was leaning into its brand color. I was saddened to learn it would only do this on select products moving forward. That got me thinking: every brand is leaning away from color when they should be leaning into it. For a tool designed to create art, the camera tends to be dreadfully boring.

Can you still get an image?" To find out, Stern shot with the oldest rolls of film he could get his hands on, including one from as far back as 1946.

AI Can Craft You a Photo Preset, if That’s Really What You Want

Artificial intelligence (AI) is seemingly everywhere these days, and photography is no exception. There are numerous AI-powered image editing features available, as well as AI-driven autofocus in many cameras. Developer Polychrome's new LR Preset Generator instead puts AI to work as a text-to-Lightroom preset web tool.
