  • Sony FE 85mm f/1.8

    This Sony 85mm f/1.8 is a spectacular lens with flawless optics as good or better than the huge 85mm f/1.4 GM. This f/1.8 lens has great handling and it's super small, light and inexpensive.

  • Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G

    This is the one and only ultra-ultrawide for full-frame Sony cameras, and it's fantastic. If you shoot interiors or need a lens for extreme special effects, this is an optically superb lens at a bargain price.

  • Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D

    So yes, when you need the widest of the wide, especially for real estate and architecture where you're on a tripod to ensure careful leveling, this Chinese lens can be better than the name brand lenses.

  • Nikon D5600

    My Nikon D5600 is fantastic: it's tiny and lightweight and makes breathtaking images in any light. Colors are fantastic, and it focuses and works well in dim light or at crazy high ISOs unheard of just a few years ago.

  • Canon EOS M5

    The Canon EOS M5 is a handy, handsome, fun and competent little camera; just don't expect it to work as quickly as a DSLR or a Sony mirrorless camera.

  • Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

    The Canon 5D Mark IV is the world's most universal DSLR. It is competitive for sports and action as well as for wedding, nature, portrait, landscape and product photography.

  • Nikon D3400

    The D3400 is small, light, quiet, easy to use, has a great flash and takes great pictures. It's one of my very top camera recommendations, and if price matters, is the top camera today.

  • Fujifilm X-Pro2

    Like a LEICA, the X-Pro2 feels great, with lovely precise knobs and controls and a nifty hybrid optical/electronic finder, but as of June 2016, its clumsy operating system, bad AF and sloppy EVF brightness control make it one of my last choices for actual shooting.

  • Sony a6300

    The A6300 is a fun and fast camera that produces pretty good results. It doesn't replace my Nikons, Canons or Hasselblads for serious work, but for carrying as little as possible, the A6300 is a hoot.

  • Canon EOS 80D

    The Canon 80D is a magnificent combination of the best features of all Canon DSLRs. This is funny, because the 80D is probably the best Canon DSLR for most people, but writing a review, it doesn't actually excel at any one thing.

  • Nikon D5

    The Nikon D5 is an extraordinary camera because of its superior autofocus system that really does automatically identify, locate, lock-on and track autofocus perfectly for fast-moving subjects at 12 FPS in the real world.

  • Nikon D500

    The D500 is the first consumer Nikon that's worthwhile considering for serious sports shooting. For sports, it's a complete winner.

  • Canon EOS M3

    The EOS M3 is for someone who demands first-rate picture quality from a tiny camera. It has the same quality as any of Canon's APS-C DSLRs, in a smaller package.
