Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
In this video, I sit down with wedding photographers and entrepreneurs Joe and Kathleen Atkins to talk about their businesses, JoPhoto and Atmosphere Aerosol.
You may remember an introduction to Atmosphere Aerosol last November. If you haven’t tried it yet, Atmosphere Aerosol is instant fog in a can. Joe has been passionate about creating ethereal images using haze and fog long before they developed this new product for photographers. [Read more…]

And if you don’t want everything from Sigma to show up, you can see only the Sigma Art lenses on sale here.

We have all pretty much accepted it now. Samsung and its mirrorless camera system is dead in the water. The Samsung NX500 that is barely a year old is now discontinued.
It had a solid spec sheet and plenty of positive reviews as one of the first 4K mirrorless cameras – especially at that $800 retail price point. [Read more…]
Sony has announced its new Cyber-shot HX80 compact camera, which features a 30x optical zoom lens for a 24-720mm equivalent zoom range. It uses an 18.2MP CMOS sensor and captures 1080/60p video with Sony’s solid XAVC-S codec. [Read more…]
B&H has several bundle deals on Canon DSLRs that include the PIXMA PRO-10 printer and a 1-year subscription to Adobe CC Photo Plan. Note, this is the $700 PRO-10 printer in the bundle, not the lower-end PRO-100.
You MUST use the promo code BHWPPI16 at checkout to get the additional instant savings, which combined with Canon’s mail-in rebate makes these pretty incredible deals. [Read more…]

Chinese lens maker Zhongyi Optics has updated its Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 with a new Mark II version. The good news is that it is smaller and lighter but ZY Optics also claims it offers drastic improvement in sharpness and better control of chromatic aberration.
As with its predecessor, this is designed as a lens for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors. It is available for Sony E, Fuji X and Canon EOS-M mounts. It looks like ZY Optics swapped the Micro Four Thirds mount on the Mark I for the Canon EOS-M mount on the Mark II model. More good news is that the price remains $599 – like its predecessor.
