The DPReview Camera Pre-Amp Test Controversy

Time and time again we were told that the Z6 pre-amps suck by Jordan at DPreview and that the A7III was always the camera of choice. Then DPreview always says the X-T3 pre-amps are pretty good but I've actually always found them to have issues. So now in this recent video, we see the complete opposite of what Jordan has been saying and now people are pissed. Many people avoided the Z6 simply because the pre-amps were so bad according to DPreview, and literally this audio engineered found the complete opposite results. But here are some more details as to what is likely happening.

Is Nikon A Sleeping Giant? Nikon vs Fujifilm

I'm seeing something strange happen with Nikon that I'm not really seeing with any other camera out there. That is, I see a lot of buzz about Nikon on my site and it's constant. Here is what's going on.

Fujinon 35mm f1.4 Review & Sample Photos

The Fujinon 35mm f1.4 is one of Fujifilm's oldest lenses for the X-Mount system. With the fast f1.4 aperture and the 50mm field of view, the lens is very versatile and it's especially great for portrait and people photography. While showing some age by today's standards in terms of autofocus and the technical characteristics, the lens still has some of the most unique character of any modern lens to date.

Fujifilm X-T3 vs. X-T4 Comparison | Big Upgrade Of Utility

Fujifilm has done a very nice utility update on the new Fujifilm X-T4, pretty much giving the community everything they've asked for. Not just that, they've given vloggers everything they could want as well (except a headphone jack). Really this is now the first affordable camera with IBIS and a flippy screen that shoots 10-bit 4k (only 4:2:0 internally) with phase detection autofocus without any crippled features. It took until now for a camera company to make the camera literally everyone has been asking for, and it's exciting. This is pretty much the perfect camera, kind of.

Kalina In The Rain | XF35mm f1.4 + XT3

Here is a quick look at some XF35mm f1.4 samples. Review coming soon. I know a lot of people like it more when I post photos on my lens reviews that are more relatable to how they might actually be shooting. You know, normal people photography.

Brightin Star 50mm f1.4 Review & Samples

The Brightin Star is a 50mm f1.4 full frame all metal, all manual prime lens. The lens comes in various mounts, and while being designed for full-frame cameras, it performs very well on APS-C cameras. With the excellent build quality and the fast f1.4 aperture and great overall performance, the lens is an excellent choice for someone looking to try out the 50mm prime focal length as long as they're willing to work within the limitations.

The Best Camera Is? – Sony vs Canon vs Nikon vs Fujifilm

I get this question a lot so I thought I would just throw it into a blog post. Surprisingly a lot of the people that are asking me are always considering either the X-T3 or the Z6. But Canon has a lot of potentials and Sony should still be considered a strong choice. As someone that has all the systems and shoots with them each regularly, I’ll tell you what I know and hopefully, some of this will apply to your situation. This is really hard, but I'll do my best to be as honest as possible.

Kamlan 50mm f1.1 II Review & Sample Photos

The Kamlan is an ultra-fast full manual all-metal constructed 50mm f1.1 lens designed for the APS-C mount. The fast f1.1 aperture with the 75mm equivalent focal length produces some very shallow depth of field that is great for portrait photography. The lens also maintains a wide-open sharpness even at far distances making it a great choice for low light photography.

Kamlan 50mm f1.1 II | A Huge Improvement

When I first saw the announcement of the Kamlan 50mm f1.1 version II, I was a bit skeptical and ultimately not interested. The first one was just a swing and missed and unfortunately made me a little skeptical about Kamlan as a brand even though their build quality is always stellar. Then I saw a few images of this new version II lens. Kamlan totally changed it up with a completely new design improving the one thing that would make a huge difference.

Street Photography With Fujifilm 90mm f2

One of the more fun and interesting discussions among street photographers is the topic of focal length. Specifically, which lens is better for street photography, the 35mm or the 50mm? Some think the 50mm is the best usually it's the 35mm, but some like it even wider. But I say, what about a 135mm?
