Every year I take the new iPhone Pro model and compare it to my Canon R5. This is my 5th year in a row conducting this comparison, and over those years I’ve been extremely impressed and sometimes disappointed. This year I was hopeful to see an improvement on the new Telephoto lens but as you’ll see from the images, it is not all about a stat sheet. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves and also you can download a few of the raws I’ve taken this year to explore them yourself.

I was lucky enough to get delivery of my Fujifilm X-E5 plus the Fujifilm XF 23mm f2.8 right as it came out thanks to B&H. I’ve had a chance to spend a full day using the camera, thus giving me a really good first impressions of the camera. Normally I wouldn’t talk about a camera after only using it for a single day but considering how similar (nearly identical) this camera is to the Fujifilm X100VI, I feel more at ease giving you my thoughts. To summarize: I really wanted to love this camera but there are a few design choices that leave me questioning if they actually used the camera before manufacturing it.

Not long ago the sub $1,000 camera was a competitive segment of the photography market but as costs increase and inflation rises, the options have become less and less. More importantly are any of the cameras you can get for under $1,000 even worth buying in 2025? In this article I’ll cover all your options for new cameras that fit a budget of $1,000 or less and exactly the ones you should consider. One of them is so good, I bought it myself!

I recently got to spend some time with the Fujifilm GFX100S II (thanks Fujifilm!) and from the moment I took the first shots, I was skeptical. Not because the images weren’t great, they were incredible. So much so that it seemed too good to be true. Was it just the moment, the light, or was there something more going on with this sensor?

Recently I owned the Hasselblad X2D and while those images were full of detail, they never made me question my camera choices, which is why I was so confused by my first shots with the GFX100S II as they have the same sensor.

I’ve spent the past couple months taking lots of images on the Nikon Zf, and I haven’t needed to edit a single one. This got me thinking, how often do we see reviews or content from cameras without editing? There’s quite a lot of people out there looking to take images without needing to edit at all, or at the very least have a great starting point before they sit down in front of a computer.
