Bigger is not always better, it's important tha[...]
Never Lose Your Camera Gear
Most photographers have been in situations where there is a chance someone could steal their gear (whether you know it or not) and if someone pulls a gun or knife on you it's almost always a good idea to give them exactly what they want. You may just be forgetful and leave your gear under the tabl[...]
Fujifilm X100S vs. Olympus OMD EM5 (Updated)

Photo Project – Fujifilm X100S
I've never hitched my horse to any particular post when it comes to cameras, I have an open mind and I'm always on the lookout for the latest and greatest. With the lightning fast ability to sell your old gear at reasonable prices (see my article on that here) it's no wonder I've had three pri[...]

Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 R – Real World Review
Hand Held, ISO 200, 150mm, f/5.6, 1/125 sec I've taken a break from shooting with the Nikon D600 for a while and picked the Olympus OMD EM5 back up, I figured if it was good enough for everyone over at DPReviews (recently ranked the number one camera of 2012 by users of that site) then it's good [...]

The Only Canon Lens You’d Need – Canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS II USM
Source: Amazon I'm a big fan of buying lenses that will grow with me as a photographer. I won't spend $600 on a lens when I really want the $1200 lens, when I outgrow the $600 lens it will cost twice as much to upgrade. I'd rather save my money and buy the lens I can grow into, it's much chea[...]

If there is one thing that has been a continual pain in my butt with the D600 it would be the viewfinder. The D600 viewfinder is the same as the one on the D7000 and D5100 (albeit the viewfinder on the D600 covers 100% of the field of view while the others are around 90%), they are rectangle and[...]
