$500 vs $2100 test with Nikon Z7ii.

First hands on

2020 tech vs the LEGENDARY 200mm f2G

Yep... I bought a Sony...

At around 1/3 the weight and 1/5th the price of the 70-200mm - this is a great value option.

NIKON Z6ii and Z7ii finally arrive and .... are still in last place....?

For LESS $ you can buy a FULL camera kit...

A relaxed chat with Luxury Bazaar owner Roman Sharf.

We saved over $5,000 - 48% on SSD, 21% on Display, 72% on RAM, 95% on wheels and the storage - well that's next level.

5 reasons every E Mount shooter should consider this lens!

The X100 is a classic - but do you need the $1400 latest generation? Let's compare every model side by side!

At less than half the price of the Sony, the Tamron 70-180mm looks like a must have lens for travel and portraiture.

Well, that sucks... 1 dead, but still tested.

The internal 8k will NOT BE CROPPED - it will be full sensor width - great news. I was wrong.

Don't waste your money - here is how I decided which lenses to buy first, for Sony E Mount.

Check them out.

Tamron are killing it lately with top value lenses.

Character vs clinical

Given the official announcement, you'd have to ignore all the other recent Canon releases, and how they have been crippled on specs, to truly believe all this hype...

Unlimited headroom for growth.

Three top res Full Frame mirrorles compared for AF accuracy.

WAIT!

My two favourite Leicas - the M10p and the Monochrom - just had a love child...

But are Canon ending EF Lens production!?

I really like the look of this - I might buy one myself!

Sharp, contrasty, cheaper than the F Mount - but it is longer, wider and heavier! So much for small and compact mirrorless!

Is it just me or are the supplied sample files completely unimpressive in terms of lens optical performance?

It's time for an honest conversation about the cameras, the brand and the company.

How much of the price is 'Apple Tax'??

I sat down with Bellamy of JapanCameraHunter for a lengthy conversation about film cameras - from point and shoot to rangefinders to medium format. We started with the topic of top 5 for street photography, and quickly ran off topic. ?

HUGE THANKS to LenProToGo for sending me these loaners.

Before watching - who do you think will win??

 The classic 85mm? The Epic 105? Or the Flexible 70-200mm?

Groundbreaking. Insane image quality. Epic Dynamic Range. Great value for money. On paper it ticks SO many boxes, and it stands alone without direct competition. And honestly, after in depth testing in studio and in the field... I have no desire to own one.

 Welcome to the most Bonkers lens of 2019...

 Zhiyun sent me the Smooth Q2 smartphone gimbal and sponsored this video showing 3 ways we can level up our video game with this stabiliser.

 What do you think??

TOP FOUR OPTIONS COMPARED:

It's time to sell this awesome portrait lens.

Outstanding ergonomics and the most complete 'first attempt' full frame mirrorless from any manufacturer - but it still has some flaws.

 Fuji vs Hasselblad - my final thoughts.

 Comparing 6 bargain bokeh lenses.

 LET THERE BE LIGHT!

The RF is a VERY impressive performer - but it comes at a big size, weight and cost disadvantage!

Here are all the handling and focus rankings.

Apples product is dead in the water - and the alternatives vary WILDLY in price. In this video I compare 10 options and tell you about build, compatibility and usability.

This time, the cameras will survive... I hope!

In this video I compare 5 sets of filters for the Mavic 2 Pro drone, including DJIs own, PolarPro, Tiffen, Polares, & F Stop - testing both still and video results.

We've all heard (& probably said) "The best camera is the one you have with you..." But is it accurate? Is it helpful? Or is it an over simplification that is actually not true at all??

It's been almost 4 years since the original Leica Q was announced, and there have been some big upgrades. 

Maybe my favourite full frame camera...

Sony claim the a6400 has the 'Worlds Fastest Autofocus' - and my first video split people - so here is my COMPLETE AF testing.
