Why You Want the X-Rite Colorchecker

Comparing the results of white balancing with the X-Rite Colorchecker and a random piece of paper, you'll notice immediately that the clip white balanced with the random piece of paper is contaminated with a distinct yellowish cast - in the shadows, in the highlights, in the cigarette lighter, in the cologne and everywhere else for...

Canon Capitulates

In online forums, not a few commenters insist that Sony must answer promptly to Canon's $1,299 crippled entry-level full frame mirrorless camera. But the very idea that Sony needs to respond to the EOS RP is absurd when you take a moment to think about it. Can you imagine Sony releasing a plastic-fantastic full frame... Continue Reading →

Olympus O-MD E-M1X Quandary

To understand what’s going on with all the fury surrounding the E-M1X, we need only glance back at last year. 2018 was a watershed moment in mirrorless history. We not only saw Sony break the price barrier with the a7 III, but Canon and Nikon both entering the full frame market with their own full... Continue Reading →

Olympus OM-D E-M1X: For Whom?

Reviews are pouring in, and one common theme emerges: nobody can quite figure out who the OM-D E-M1X is for. Below, excerpts from a half-dozen reviews.

Canon Takes One Step Backward

We learn from Dave Etchells’ exclusive interview with Canon’s product planning executive Yoshiyuki Mizoguchi that, contrary to the sanguine prognostications of online pundits and influencers, that the follow-up to the decidedly underwhelming EOS R will not be a high-end model with 75 megapixel sensor, dual card slots and IBIS aimed at pros, but — an entry-level...

Award for Worst YouTuber of the Week

We've decided to start handing out awards for the worst YouTuber of the week. It was a tough call, but this week's prize goes to JSFILMZ for his hilariously incompetent video comparing the skin tones of the Blackmagic Design Pocket 4K to Sony's a7 III. In his post in the Sony thread (I kid you not!) over... Continue Reading →

Does Competition Really Benefit the Consumer?

“Competition benefits consumers, spurring manufacturers on to create better and better tech and keeping prices in check.” We hear this so often that I’ve come to doubt it. But I think each company’s idea of what exactly remaining competitive means is just encoded in their DNA. For example, Fuji hit one out of the ballpark... Continue Reading →

Phuong: Extended Version

I've tweaked the audio, given the video punchier blacks, used the new comic book effect in Final Cut Pro sparingly, reduced the duration of a couple of clips, added new footage of Phuong shot a couple of days ago and removed the green tint in some of the clips. https://youtu.be/vq6wjan2TqU "Evening Forever" by KieLoKazLicense
