The DaVinci Resolve 21 Photo Editing Tools Show Promise but Are Imperfect

Blackmagic Design unveiled DaVinci Resolve 21 this week and alongside the expected types of improvements, like more AI-powered video editing features, Blackmagic shocked the creative world by adding RAW photo editing and organization features to Resolve 21. I've been trying Resolve 21's new photo editing features since it arrived on Monday, and there's a lot to like. There's also quite a bit that isn't quite up to snuff, is just a bit too different for my tastes, or is outright confusing.

Canon’s New Industrial Camera Literally Sees in the Dark

Alongside the exciting new Cine-Servo 40-1200mm T5.0-10.8 video lens, Canon also unveiled the MS-510 Multi-Purpose Camera at NAB 2026. This highly specialized new camera is not built for typical consumer use, but it's still worth checking out thanks to its impressive technology.

Why 2025 Was the Right Time for the Sony RX1R III’s Long-Awaited Arrival

Last July, Sony surprised the photography world by unveiling the RX1R III, arriving so many years after the RX1R II that many RX1R fans had all but given up hope of a new model ever coming. Sony even released two more A-mount DSLRs after the RX1R II, to put the wait into perspective. So what took so long? Sony told PetaPixel that it needed to develop the right technology to make a new RX1R camera worth it, and that tech took time.

Sony’s Cutting-Edge XYN Spatial Capture Solutions Arrive Very Soon

When PetaPixel editor-in-chief Jaron Schneider saw Sony's cutting-edge XYN immersive display technology at CP+ 2026 in Yokohama, Japan, he described it as being like seeing through an Apple Vision Pro, but without any of the headgear. But XYN goes far beyond a single display device; XYN is an end-to-end spatial capture solution.

This New Medium Format Film Camera Can Change its Frame Size on the Fly

"One of the best things about medium-format photography is the variety of frame sizes available," says a new Kickstarter campaign for the VZ-6617 variable frame medium-format film camera. The camera aims to take full advantage of this aspect of medium format, enabling photographers to swap between different framing and aspect ratios at any time, even within the same roll of film.

Despite a Focus on Full-Frame, Sony Says APS-C Is a Growing Segment

Sony's full-frame Alpha cameras rightly get a lot of attention, especially among enthusiast and professional photographers and hybrid creators. However, the company tells PetaPixel it remains very committed to APS-C, and that demand for APS-C products has steadily increased over the years.

TikTok Scammers Stole a Camera Store’s Identity

Identity theft is a major issue for people online. However, identity thieves don't only target individuals; they can also imitate full-blown businesses. An unknown actor is pretending to be Action Camera, a small camera retailer with locations in Nevada and California, and scamming people out of their hard-earned money.

Photographer Treated Heineken’s New Ad Campaign Like a Documentary Photo Project

Amstel hired Spanish photographer Javier Tles for a very unusual type of advertising campaign for Heineken beer. Rather than set up a staged photoshoot, as is par for the course, Tles covertly captured photos of real people enjoying drinks with their actual friends, approaching the ad campaign more like a documentary photography project than a commercial project. It is a very different type of advertising campaign, especially in the era of AI-generated ads.

Nearly 90% of Surveyed Working Photographers Are Using AI

VSCO has increasingly incorporated artificial intelligence (AI) into its photography products, including AI Lab, a dedicated AI-based editing platform inside the VSCO app on iOS. To better understand how photographers feel about AI and how they want to use it in their photography workflow, VSCO conducted a survey of photographers across the U.S. and Canada in December, and the results are quite interesting.

Architectural Photographer Captures the Machines Behind Artemis II

Professional architectural photographer Mike Kelley has achieved extensive commercial success but has remained dedicated to personal artistic projects as well. These personal projects have often been the ones to lead to Kelley's "craziest opportunities," including one that took him to NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility to photograph the Orion crew capsule and SLS rocket that just last week carried four brave Artemis II astronauts into space to orbit the Moon.

The 10-Year-Old Nikon D5 DSLR Really Is the Best Camera for Artemis II

While much of the discussion surrounding the Artemis II crew's beautiful photos from their Orion spacecraft has focused on the images themselves, and they are fantastic shots, some of the discussion has surrounded the cameras used to capture the photos. Photographers love chatting gear, after all. While the Nikon D5 DSLR may seem like a puzzling choice as the primary camera on a prestigious space mission in 2026, it's the best tool for the job.

How a Photographer Captured the Artemis II Launch With 14 Cameras

Madow set up 14 different Panasonic Lumix cameras to cover the monumental event, including seven remote cameras at the launch site. His outstanding photos are the result of years of practice and planning.

Anamorphic Lenses Are Everywhere in Hollywood, Even Animated Movies

Anamorphic lenses are everywhere these days. From the small screen of television to the big screen of IMAX theaters, cinematographers often reach for anamorphics. These lenses not only deliver an ultra-wide, cinematic look but also feature distinct oval bokeh and exaggerated flare. The look is so prevalent in live-action filmmaking now that even animated movies, like the brand-new "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie," are following suit and simulating the "look" of anamorphic lenses.
