The Vello FreeWave Plus II is a wireless shutter release that can trigger the shutter from up to 320′ (~97m) away. The FreeWave Plus works with most cameras that have a remote port, including Canon mirrorless and DSLRs, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, and Panasonic, among others. I’m using the Canon version, which ships with both a Canon 3-pin cable, as well as a 2.5mm sub-mini cable. [Read more…]

Last week, Nikon launched its new Z 9 flagship mirrorless camera with a 45.7MP FX-format Stacked BSI CMOS sensor and a frame rate of 20fps RAW capture with 1000+ image buffer. The Z 9 adds the next-generation EXPEED 7 image-processing engine and claims to offer “unparalleled AF performance using a revolutionary new scene detection system built on deep learning technology.” Nikon has also eliminated the traditional mechanical shutter thanks to the improved sensor readout. It features shutter speeds down to 1/32,000s.
In addition to its still imaging prowess, the Nikon Z 9 packs a punch for video capture with up to 8K video at 24p/30p frame rates (with an 8K/60p frame rate option coming via a 2022 firmware update) and 4K at up to 120p frame rate. As a flagship camera, the Nikon Z 9 looks to deliver across the board in shooting performance, control options, and durability/weather resistance.
The Nikon Z 9 retails for $5500 and is expected to arrive by the end of 2021. You can pre-order the Z 9 here at B&H Photo.

In this article, I’m going to show you how I make this effect happen with a relatively simple and affordable addition to my camera kit. [Read more…]

In addition to the new Fuji X-E4, the compact(ish) Fuji GFX 100S medium format mirrorless camera was announced this week.

It can also use pixel shift multi-shot tech to capture 400MP images.
The GFX 100S retails for $6000, while its lower-res predecessor, the GFX 50S, still runs $5500 and the bigger-bodied GFX 100 will set you back $10K. [Read more…]
