The Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s is a small, simple, alien looking camera that also carries a sense of fun hipster-like appeal to it. This is perhaps the most non-traditional camera I’ve ever reviewed, but I can honestly tell you that I’ve never had this much fun reviewing a camera, ever. As a guy that tests cameras out for serious use, this was a great and welcome change of pace.
When I got the Olympus PEN E-P2 it came with the M. Zuiko Digital 17mm f2.8 lens. I already use the Zuiko Digital 25mm f2.8 lens on my E-510 so the only difference here for me is that its on a Micro 4/3rds camera and instead of having a focal length of 25mm, I have a focal length of 17mm. Other than that it is a very nice lens that I would recommend to anyone using a micro 4/3rds camera.
[polldaddy poll=3874128] Hey everyone, first we just wanted to say thank you for your commentary and votes in our recent reader survey. Now, we’ve got one last question for you. After October 19th, you will begin to see the new changes to the blog take shape as we were totally scheduled up until then. We’re …
They should have called this Camera backpack a transformer. The Tamrac Evolution 8 is efficient and versatile. Right out of the box, with very little arrangement this camera bag was functional. After a week with this camera bag, you realize how ultra flexible it really is. Using it is very liberating, compared to my everyday Camera bag, which I have to take off when I want to access my camera gear.
The Canon 7D (body only) is now available at a really great price at B&H, but you’ll need to add it to the cart in order to get it at $1,399.95. For those of you that have been wondering on whether to buy the 7D, T2i or 60D, perhaps this may be an extra incentive? You can also get it with a lens for $1,584.95 when you add to cart.
Edit: the price has gone up to $1,499.95 now.
The Panasonic G2 was my first experience with the Micro Four Thirds camera format, and it gave me a good sense of what the system is capable of. While I would be remiss to offer a final opinion on the entire format based on one camera, I can say with some confidence that despite its potential, Micro Four Thirds isn’t going to unseat conventional SLRs as the amateur photography stepping-stone any time soon.
The review of the Panasonic GF-1 is now complete. As great a camera as it is, it still personally left me wanting my DSLRs for better image quality. That’s not to say that the images from the GF-1 are horrible, but a good portion of that perhaps has to do with the very good 20mm F1.7 lens. Here are our findings.
Hey everyone, because of the recent traffic spikes we’ve been having and the new reader influx, I’d like to ask everyone to please complete this new survey so we can better tailor the content to you.
When you’re doing any shoot, whether it be photography or video, a gear list always hinges upon two things: What you want to accomplish and sometimes more importantly what your budget is. The gear list that follows constitutes what has gone into the Summer Stories Production thus far.
As we are currently seeing instant film make a resurgence and companies like the Impossible Project announce new products, it’s only reasonable that we take a look at a relic: the fabled 20×24 Polaroid film camera. 20×24 Studios in TriBeCa, NY was kind enough to offer a tour of the camera. As a studio that specializes in shooting art and ad campaigns with this giant beast of a camera, they’re often very busy.
