Photographer Uses Science to Explain Why Humans Think Cats Are Cute

Animal photographer Tim Flach has taken hundreds of photos of cats and, through his time with them, finds himself asking questions about why they are so important to humans. He has partnered with scientists to find out exactly why they elicit the emotions they do, and how he, as a photographer, can better highlight those aspects of their form.

RED-Powered Nikon ZR Soars to the Top of Japanese Sales Charts

The Nikon ZR is an excellent video-first hybrid camera, as customers in Japan can attest. The Nikon ZR has topped Map Camera's list of best-selling new cameras in October, which is a spot very rarely held by a camera that prioritizes video nearly as much as the Nikon ZR does.

Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 Review: Travel Light

A camera lens rests on its side next to a lens cap, with a Petapixel Reviews logo in the corner and a grid-patterned background.

Tamron has a long and illustrious history of making travel-zoom lenses with massive focal ranges.

Canon Should Revisit Novel Touch Controls, and Here’s How

Close-up comparison of the rear controls on two different camera bodies, showing various buttons, textured grips, and dials, including "INFO" and navigation buttons.

The maligned Multifunction Touch Bar, commonly called the "Touch Bar," on the original Canon EOS R mirrorless camera is an excellent example of what happens when interesting, even good, ideas try to do too much. However, it's time for Canon to revisit the Touch Bar, or at least the underlying concept of expanded touch on modern mirrorless cameras.

Two side-by-side photos show a woman holding a camera. On the left, she sits while getting her hair styled. On the right, she smiles at the camera while sitting on a couch, holding the same camera.

Last week, Vogue France published a short snippet from an interview where Jisoo -- an incredibly popular member of the K-pop group Blackpink -- talks about her love of the Fujifilm X-Pro3. Describing the photos it takes as "cinematic" and "atmospheric," she also touches on another angle of why she and her friends like it: how it looks.

Nikon Deserves More Credit for Addressing a Major Weakness in the Nikon Z System

There has been a lot of big news in the photography space in the past month, so it's perhaps not too surprising that Nikon's pair of new APS-C lenses has flown a bit under the radar. That's a shame because the Nikkor Z 16-50mm f/2.8 VR and Nikkor Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 actually address a major complaint many have had about the Nikkor Z system: the lack of new high-end APS-C lenses.

We Are Post ISO Now

A camera's native ISO range used to be a huge deal and was an integral part of how companies advertised their latest and greatest cameras. However, these days, companies sometimes don't mention ISO at all, relegating it to side, separate detailed spec sheets.
