Canon EOS Rebel T8i Review

Canon EOS Rebel T8i Review I was really nervous for a period when the pandemic was just starting, and for less obvious reasons than the fact that there was a worldwide pandemic happening. I was nervous that the release date of the Canon EOS Rebel T8i was going to be pushed back, since it came out in April of...

Nikon D5300 Review

Nikon D5300 Review The Nikon D5300 came out in 2013 and automatically became one of the most well-loved DSLRs for everyday shooters. But, is it still worth it to buy a Nikon D5300 in 2021?  I think the answer to this question largely depends on what you’re planning on using it for. If, for instance,...

Leica M10 Monochrom Review

Leica M10 Monochrom Review It is a very rare occasion for me to get to discuss a camera as exciting as the Leica M10 Monochrom... I’d like to think that Leica really just did everything they did in this camera to wow photographers like me who’ve been in the business for decades. I’d also like to imagine that they...

Olympus PEN E-PL9 Review

Olympus PEN E-PL9 Review If you’re looking for a cheap, entry-level mirrorless camera then you’ve found it in the Olympus PEN E-PL9.  The Olympus PEN E-PL9 was officially released in the spring of 2018 and essentially acts like a pared down version of some of Olympus’ more professional mirrorless cameras. For...

Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 Review

Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 Review The Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 came out late last year, but thanks to the pandemic craze, it didn’t come out with a ton of fanfare. I think this isn’t quite fair because it’s an excellent upgrade to an otherwise already excellent line of Panasonic cameras. This camera is very compact, comes...

Canon PowerShot SX70 HS Review

Canon PowerShot SX70 HS Review The Canon PowerShot SX70 HS is a relatively new “bridge camera,” which is essentially a type of camera that lives somewhere between compact cameras and interchangeable lens cameras. The biggest appeal to the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS is its ultra-zoom, which is 65x. Of course, the camera came...

Fujifilm X-A7 Review

Fujifilm X-A7 Review I strongly believe that the Fujifilm X-A7 is the best entry-level mirrorless camera. In fact, I believe it so strongly that I wrote a whole article about it, which you can read here. So, why do I think that the Fujifilm X-A7 is the best entry-level mirrorless camera? Let me count the ways. The...

Sony a6100 Review

Sony a6100 Review The Sony a6100 has officially been out for over a year now and that means it is high time for us to do a Sony a6100 review. We did a first look at the Sony a6100 when it first came out, and you can read that article right here, but after having our hands on one for enough time to really shoot...

Panasonic G85 Review

Panasonic G85 Review I think that the last decade has definitely been Panasonic’s best to date and one of the stand out cameras of that decade was the Panasonic G85 which came out in 2016.  The Panasonic G85 is a mirrorless camera that is considered mid-range. If you’ve ever shot with the Panasonic G7, then...
