Lumix GX7 Review

Lumix GX7 Review

Hands on with the Lumix GX7 sets a new high mark for image quality and performance for shooting on a small sensor. Smaller, faster and smarter.


X-M1 = Fujilove

X-M1 = Fujilove

Why I love the Fujifilm X-M1 and those peachy little X Mount lenses. For those times when smaller is smarter.


Why Size Matters

Why Size Matters

Why does size matter when comparing image quality and will it make you a better photographer? The number of pixels and the physical dimensions of the sensor they're stuffed into can impact your final image in more ways than one.


Nikon D600 Review

Nikon D600 Review

Professional image quality in a budget package. In many ways the D600 is better than the D800, it's the camera a lot of Nikon owners have been waiting for.

Is the SLT concept really going to change digital photography forever, or will it be another evolutionary dead end from Japan's top tech innovator?


The Worlds Worst Menu System

The Worlds Worst Menu System

Absolute Beginnings

Absolute Beginnings

Some of the fundamental issues that come up often when travellers ask me for help. What is a RAW file, what is ISO, why should I care about sensor size and how to control exposure metering.

How many full frame DSLR cameras can you load onto an airliner before it just can't take off and fly?


The Perfect Lens and Why They Dont Exist

The Perfect Lens and Why They Dont Exist

When it comes to lenses there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all. You have to try a lens before you know if it really suits you, and sometimes you grow out of the old one and move onto something new. just like us photographers, no lens is perfect.


Pentax 645Z and Capture One

Pentax 645Z and Capture One

You may have heard that Capture One will open DNG files from the Pentax 645Z, which is entirely true. Just don’t expect to be able to do anything especially useful beyond that.
