One of the ways I keep tabs on the camera industry and how things are going with different brands is through my Google Analytics.

The Nikon Z 85mm f1.8 S is an extremely versatile lightweight, yet affordable 85mm f1.8 prime lens.

Sony A7III vs Canon R vs Nikon Z6 By DPreview | My Thoughts

Jordan and Chris at DPreview posted their comparison of the Nikon, Sony, and Canon camera and I thought I would share some of my thoughts since I shoot on these three cameras. Well, not the A7III but the A7rIII.

Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S Lens Review & Sample Photos | Updated

The Nikon 50mm f1.8 S was one of Nikon's first lenses for the Z mount system and it has been designed to cater to the hybrid shooter who wants a single lens that can do anything. Video, landscape, wedding, portrait, or even street photography. While the f1.8 aperture isn't exciting for a lot of people, the versatility makes it a great place to start when building out a new kit. The lens is weather-sealed, has a silent stepping motor focusing system with very little focus breathing. It's very well corrected, incredibly sharp with a very manageable size and weight.

The DPReview Camera Pre-Amp Test Controversy | Updated

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.

Nikon Z6/Z7 Firmware Update Wishlist

A firmware wishlist of features I would like to see implemented in the Nikon Z6 and Z7 cameras. I usually do these at the end of my Fujifilm camera reviews and interestingly enough, almost every time, they almost all get fixed as long as they are reasonable. Not to say Nikon would do this, but these camera companies do monitor community feedback. I think Nikon could potentially implement some of these in the Z6 and Z7 to make them significantly better cameras. These requests are not unreasonable considering other cameras have these capabilities.
