Since it began its full scientific operations at the second Lagrange point (L2), about one million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth last year, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has enchanted people around the world. Webb's photos have inspired many people to learn more about space and look at the night sky with unprecedented wonder and curiosity.
The Creator Z17HX Studio is MSI’s attempt to give photographers and video editors the fit and finish of an Apple laptop, the color accuracy of a studio-grade computer display, and the performance that comes with the newest Intel and NVIDIA hardware. The good news is that MSI delivers surprisingly well on all of these promises; the bad news is that it had to make one huge compromise along the way.
Kolari specializes in infrared and ultraviolet photography camera conversions. The company also makes filters and even built a camera out of a potato. As part of its camera conversion work, Kolari often shares teardowns of new cameras, like a detailed teardown of the Sony a1. The latest camera to hit the operating table is the Nikon Z8 full-frame mirrorless camera.

Portrait Displays has announced a new partnership with SmallHD to introduce the first-ever Calman-Ready reference monitor.
Pen display tablets have been getting better and more affordable, so it makes sense that all-in-one devices like the Huion Kamvas Studio 16 would follow the same path. But what makes this device a little different is it's a pro pen tablet made for designers, illustrators, and photographers to help them get their art created quickly and easily while also being a fully functional Windows PC.
BenQ has announced a pair of new 27-inch SW-series monitors aimed at photographers, including the SW272U and SW272Q. The new monitors share many features, although they differ in resolution and offer slightly different shading hoods.
Calibrite has released a trio of monitor calibration devices designed for a range of display technologies, including a new Display Plus HL calibrator that works with super-bright high dynamic range (HDR) displays with luminance up to 10,000 nits.
Photographers use their monitors even more than their cameras, probably by a large margin. Even the best monitors should be calibrated to ensure that the colors users see are accurate. However, calibration can be expensive and tedious. TruHu aims to make the calibration process very easy and much more affordable.
Cameras all have a pretty solid set of features and design elements that appeal to a wide range of users. But, for the most part, pretty much all of them lack a set of features that would make them all a lot more powerful and enjoyable to use.

The NASA Goddard team recently installed a vital subsystem for the space telescope's Wide Field Instrument.
Producing a decent print is not as easy as you might think. You might get lucky and get a great result the first time. But, more likely, when you start printing your work, you’ll find it might not look as good as you’d hoped. Don’t give up. With a bit of practice and a better understanding of the process, you can quickly improve your printing.
When it was first introduced, many people sharply believed that autofocus would never have a clear place in the photography industry, puns intended. Why have a machine guess where to focus when you can just turn the focusing ring yourself? Today, autofocus systems are among the primary selling points for new camera and lens technology.
DJI has announced the Inspire 3, a high-end, all-in-one cinema drone that features a 161-degree ultra-wide night-vision first-person-view (FPV) camera and a main camera equipped with a full-frame sensor that can shoot 8K at 75 frames per second in Apple ProRes RAW.
At this point in the "Tablet Debate", the argument about who makes the best tablets for photographers will shift back and forth between Xencelabs and Wacom depending on who you talk too and what deep-down preferences they have. While Wacom may have reigned supreme for a very long time, it's hard to deny that with the launch of the $1,899 Pen Display 24 Studio Series, Xencelabs has officially given Wacom a reason to worry.
If there is one thing that can be said about DJI's cinema camera endeavors, it's that they are unique. The Ronin 4D was already a major shift from traditional systems, and now the Ronin 4D Flex is yet another play on the design.
Husband and wife photographer team Antoine and Dalia Grelin spent 81 hours capturing a photo of NGC 2264, a large and colorful nebula 2,500 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros, not far from the famous Orion Nebula.

Data from NASA's Juno spacecraft was used to create this computer animation of a flight over Jupiter's clouds which appear like frosted cupcakes.
When you think about a product from Sony, whether it be one of their popular cameras to a TV, most consider them to be at the top of the list in terms of quality and functionality. Sony’s first drone, the Sony Airpeak S1, however, is not going to be part of that list. In fact, it’s about as far away from the top as you can get.
When Apple announced their new M1-powered iPad Pro in April of 2021, I totally ignored it. I thought to myself, “Why in the world would anyone be willing to pay a grand for an iPad?!?”
If there’s one thing that is consistent across the photography world, it is the never-ending list of gear and accessories we end up spending our money on. Between the cameras, lenses, lights, and grip, the numbers add up fast, but what’s most important (besides getting the shot in focus) is making sure the colors look exactly the way we want them to. This is where the new Datacolor Spyder Checkr Photo comes in clutch.

The Nikon Z9 is here and ready to take on the Sony A1 and Canon R3 for the title of ‘Mirrorless Flagship.’ We can argue all day about which camera is the best, but there’s no question that this one is the biggest. Mirrorless cameras have all been lighter and more compact than their DSLR counterparts, but with Z9 and the R3, Nikon and Canon have changed that.
Adobe Lightroom Classic is an incredibly powerful raw-processing tool, but it has so many layers and features it can take a long time for users, especially beginners, to discover them all.
It will come as shock to no one that digital cameras are as complex as the manufacturing processes that make them. Thanks to the wizardry of Steven Sasson, our photographic pursuits are inextricably linked to the cold mass of integrated circuits, photovoltaic diodes, and the other discrete components that make up our modern tools.
Darktable, an open-source answer to Adobe Lightroom, has announced a major update to version 4.0 which adds a massive list of changes, new features, and bug fixes including new color science tools and a totally new user interface.
