cameras

Many of us who have been around since the transition from film to digital have been the beneficiaries of innovations in camera technology. It's been around two decades of growth in the right direction. While some companies have seen setbacks in the megapixel race, others have contributed more than their fair share of new advancements.

A group of United States senators has written a letter to the U.S. Commerce Department advocating that the country should follow the European Union's decision to force all electronics manufacturers to adopt a common charging cable.

Home Security camera company Reolink has developed a new trail camera called the KEEN Ranger PT, which can capture 4K video in a 360-degree sweep and upload it via a 4G LTE connection for remote viewing.

In a move that is being called a major blow to Apple's proprietary Lightning port, the European Union has come to an agreement that will require all smartphone manufacturers that sell in Europe to use the common USB-C port.

Sony has announced that the production of the a6400 mirrorless camera has restarted. As a result of the worldwide computer chip shortage, the APS-C mirrorless camera was temporarily discontinued last December.

LensKit is a new iOS app that gives photographers the option to try out many different cameras and lenses to see how they work together. It will even help visualize the photograph by displaying a simulation.

The Boskarta vintage-style playing cards feature a design inspired by the Rolleiflex camera and come packed in a tuck box that looks like the Brownie.

The World Press Photo organization recently shared the winners of its 2022 competition. As it does every year, the Spanish website Photolari has followed with a breakdown of the brands, systems, and cameras that were used to capture the winning photos.

It's been just over four decades since autofocus 35mm cameras have become a reality. In 1987, Canon had just released their first autofocus 35mm film camera called the EOS 650, with the EF lens mount and lightning-fast autofocus. It was a bold new design that many thought would fail, but the EOS and its successors changed the game for 35mm photography, dominating the industry.

Nikon seems to have put the bad days of 2020 behind it and is accelerating into a new business positive future in which its Imaging Division plays a significant, but not central, role in its financial stability.

Next month, in March 2022, Canon will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the launch of the company’s EOS System, which includes popular SLR, DSLR, and mirrorless cameras as well as a diverse range of accessories such as EF and RF lenses.

It's the dawn of a new era for OM Digital Solutions (OMDS) -- Olympus as was -- as it forges a new beginning, with a new camera, bearing the new name, and the last to be emblazoned with the Olympus logo. Is this the start of a golden age for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) or simply the beginning of the end for both OMDS and MFT?

Have you just gotten a more advanced camera and are looking to get better at photography? Having a good understanding of digital camera modes is an essential step in that process. If you are just starting out and are confused about all the different icons on your camera's mode dial, then this comprehensive guide to digital camera modes is just for you.

Photography is a tech-heavy job. Camera companies do a great job of hyping up new gear and creating a fear of missing out. However, very few professionals that I know actually go and splurge on the latest and greatest equipment.

Manufacturing silicon is patently not required in order to make cameras -- anyone can put together a pinhole model -- however, the wider point is more pertinent. To be a competitive, global, manufacturer, do you need to make the sensors that actually go into camera bodies?

Ever since I became a photographer, most of the cameras and lenses I have purchased have been used. Most cameras and lenses only come with one-year warranties (though there are exceptions), and since some used gear sellers offer 6-month warranties, that extra half-year is often not worth the difference (to me). And, of course, some items -- like vintage or discontinued cameras and lenses -- are only available used.

If you haven’t joined the resurgence of film photography in the past few years, you might be asking yourself, “Should I start shooting film in 2022?”

In spite of my great fondness for my Fujifilm cameras, I have some constructive criticism. My biggest pet peeve with Fuji is their frustrating lack of consistency among bodies. It drives me a little nuts when switching between my Fujifilm bodies that are different models.

While the Sony Alpha 1 was the most rented piece of new equipment in 2021, Lensrentals has published its most popular gear rented overall, and Canon cameras and lenses dominate the list.

Lensrentals has published its end-of-the-year data that reveals the most popular new 2021 equipment that has been rented in the last year. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Sony Alpha 1 was the most popular stills camera, with Nikon's Z7 II in second place.

Buying a new camera is about to get even harder, as exploding demand in China led by "live commerce" has led to increased supply issues on a system that already cannot meet demand.

Sony says that the effects of the semiconductor shortage are "more serious than expected," which has forced it to make decisions on what cameras and lenses it can continue to manufacture.

Leica is the butt of many photography jokes for making some of the most expensive cameras and lenses on the market. So if cameras are just tools, why would anyone shoot on Leica with so many other options available?

1982. Michael Jackson releases Thriller, E.T. hits the movie theatres and Cats opens on Broadway. It was a great time to be a fan of movies, music, and theater. But it was also an amazing time to be a photographer -- there were innovations with every release and more around every corner.
