The Sony A6300 Is Here, But Was It Worth The Wait?

  • Alik Griffin
  • May 27, 2023
  • No comments
The successor to Sony's best selling camera is here! The A6300. I feel like almost everyone I know bought that A6000 when it went on sale these last few months. It was such a good deal it made it almost impossible to buy any other APS-C camera. I recommended it to maybe three people who all bought it, and they all LOVE IT!

Best Accessories Fujifilm X-Pro2

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 13, 2026
  • No comments
Like the X100T the Fujifilm X-Pro2 has been setup to be very customizable. Accessories like thumb grips and soft shutters that don't typically work well on DLSR style cameras work great on these rangefinder style cameras. Although most third party accessory companies haven't started modeling their designs to fit this camera yet, there still are some staples that will work great and I'll start there.

Hoodman Steel UHS-II SD Memory Card Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • November 13, 2017
  • No comments
The Hoodman Steel UHS-II memory card is a fairly new card and brand to join the ranks of UHS-II cards. In terms of speed and performance, it performs very close to the Transcend UHS-II cards or the Fujifilm UHS-II cards, except it's read speeds are a touch slower.  If you're looking for a good card that will function well for UHS-II cameras, then the Hoodman cards will show significant performance over UHS-I cards or even older UHS-II cards like the Lexar 1000x.

2016 will be the year of the Monkey according to the Chinese calendar, so for our holiday card this year we ended up dressing our little one up as a monkey. This is the shot we ended up using for the card although I did manage to get a few more good ones.

Here are a few more shots of the Rainbow Bridge in Long Beach. It's been such an insanely busy year with the new child that I've hardly had time to shoot or even publish photos I've been taking.

Rainbow Bridge Long Beach – XT1

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 18, 2024

I haven't been spending enough time with my Fujinon 10-24mm since it got back from repair. It really is a fun lens to use, especially for landscapes. My only gripe is who ever repaired it left a giant piece of dust on the inside of the rear element that screams at me when shooting anything over f11. I'm so tempted to open the thing up and remove it, but I guess I shouldn't.

Toshiba UHS-II SD Memory Card Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • November 13, 2017
  • No comments
Toshiba SD memory card were hard to find for a while and when you could find them they were way over priced. The company was in limbo and there was a lot of uncertainty with the brand. That doesn't mean the Toshiba UHS-II memory cards are not amazing. They are often the best performing cards among those that I test, even though they are rated only at 260MB/s. Best of all they are now easy to find on Amazon and are priced very competitively.
