Over the last decade, mirrorless camera technology has evolved to the point that it's now a welcome technology for many photographers and filmmakers. Although, along the way, it's not been an easy ride for the big mirrorless camera brands. User sentiment, Japanese earthquakes, the pandemic, and newer technology adoption have all taken their toll, leading to spot fires in the manufacturing process and camera uptake.
DXOMark ranked the new Leica M11 rangefinder and scored it a 100, which makes it one of the top five full-frame sensors currently available. It joins the Nikon Z7 II and D850, Panasonic S1R, and Sony A7R III as the other 100-point cameras.
I know that the idea of proxy recordings and how to create them in editing software such as Adobe Premiere and Divinci Resolve has been talked about a hundred times, but did you know you can generate them in-camera for even more time savings?
It's a strange twist of fate that the company that rivaled Kodak in film manufacturing but currently makes very little of its money from the camera business should now be the largest camera manufacturer in the world.

Wildlife photographer Steve Perry took the newly-announced Nikon PF 800mm f/6.3 VR S lens for a test drive and has shared his opinions on what to expect from the super-telephoto prime.
The Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens gives shooters a focal range close to the ever-popular 24-70mm f/2.8 S but with slightly fewer features for about half of the price, making it an incredibly attractive option for photographers at every level.
Currently, the longest-reaching telephoto zoom lens in the Nikon Z-mount system, the Nikkor 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S faces a lot of eager potential customers who are going to balance its longer focal length with overall size and cost. I can’t say it will disappoint.
The Sony flagship camera is here, the first of the mirrorless full-frame "holy trinity" of Sony, Canon, and Nikon to be released. Sony announced this beautiful beast back in January 2021, and today we’re going to take it apart, modify it into a full spectrum camera, and (hopefully) put it back together again.
Sony announced last week that it was the number one mirrorless brand holding the highest market share for eight years straight. Canon then followed this up by claiming that it was the number one digital camera company, also leading on mirrorless market share.

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?

There has been a lot of chatter and excitement surrounding the Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 lens when it was announced as a special pairing (along with a special version) with the Z fc camera. As one of the smallest and lightest lenses released for the Z mirrorless system that comes paired with one of the shorter focus distances, the $297 "pocket" lens packs a lot of punch in a tiny and affordable package.
With an implosion of shipments caused by COVID in 2020, the expectation was that 2021 would see a rebound... until COVID hit again. So how have camera manufacturers fared in what has become another traumatic business year?
The Z9 takes a massive leap forward in technology and levels the playing field between Canon and Sony both in its construction and capabilities. While Nikon may have been late delivering a professional mirrorless system, the 120 frames per second (FPS) burst, 8K video, impressive battery life, and "always-on" EVF more than make the wait worth it.
