Are DSLRs still a thing or has mirrorless pretty much taken over?

I’m a longtime DSLR user who recently picked up a Sony A7IV. Modern mirrorless mops the floor with any DSLR when it comes to autofocus, but to me that’s really the only advantage. I prefer an optical viewfinder, and DSLRs are just generally more “ready.” You can leave a 5D in standby mode without dr

I made my highest resolution image of the milky way yet (288 megapixels).

Some details on the shot: Back in April I was in Big Bend, Texas, under the darkest skies in the United States. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it for night sky viewing. It's the first time I've seen a sky as dark as what I experienced on my trip to Namibia a few years ago - you can practica

What’s the difference between Sony and ARRI?

Firstly, let's look at colours (I'm UK so UK spelling). A7IV only shoots continuous in 10 bit. This means if you're filming a 2 minute scene, the Arri's shooting in a genuine 64 billion colours whereas your Sony's only shooting 1 billion. Secondly, dynamic range. If you look at the range, Arris can

Would you stick with MFTeven if you got enough money to get a high end FF kit?

The headline makes the assumption that people choose m43 because they can't afford FF. Which is wild. I shoot professionally with an a7iv. I shoot for fun with an om1.2. Sony takes clinically fantastic photos. Olympus is FUN.

ITAP of a Swarm of Bees

I took a picture of a Swarm of bees laying down on the ground prone in front of a very active beehive, this took me thousands of attempts to get the proper focus and subjects in frame the way I wanted. This is in my opinion is my best photograph of the year throughout my macro journey, and I hope yo

Thoughts on the fx5? Are you guys gonna get one?

It’s all quality of life improvements at the end of the day. I would assume all of us here are trying to tell a good story. You can tell an amazing story with a camera that came out five or even 10 years ago. The FX5’s image doesn’t automatically tell a better story. The RAW recording doesn’t automa

I bought Sony a7iv and kind of regretting it

If you’re on the fence of selling, might want to sell now before the market floods with used A7iv once everyone gets their A7V delivery. That being said the A7iv is a workhorse for client projects, treat it as such and use a different solution for creative projects.

We spent a month in South Africa for our honeymoon. And we'd do it again.

During the wilderness trail in the Kruger, we were a group of 8 sleeping out in the middle of nowhere. Not another tourist in sight for 4 days. We were woken up quite a few times by lions roaring throughout the night. The next morning, our ranger told us to gear up, we're walking towards the lions t

Question for Nick!

We use Sony cameras. For sit down stuff we use a Sony a7s iii and a7 IV. The IVs overheat with USB c charging so you have to use a dummy plug. You'll also need an elgato cam link to connect the Sony to the PC. Sony cam out with the a7 V It's spelled Nik.
